Failure detection

The DC controller monitors the following motors to determine a motor failure:

Drum motor

Scanner motor

Fuser motor

ENWW Engine control system 7

The DC controller determines if the motor has failed and notifies the formatter when the motor encounters the following conditions:

Startup failure — The motor does not reach a specified rotational count within a specified time from when the motor starts.

Rotational failure — The rotational speed of the motor is not in the specified range for a specified time after the motor reaches a specified speed.

The DC controller notifies the formatter of a BD (beam detect) failure when it detects a rotational failure of the scanner motor.

The DC controller monitors the related part condition of the following motors to determine a motor failure:

Upper cassette lifter motor

Lower cassette lifter motor

Fan control

The product has three fans for preventing the temperature from rising in the product and cooling down the delivered paper.

Over-current/over-voltage/overload protection

The over-current/overvoltage protection automatically stops the DC voltage to the product components whenever an excessive current or abnormal voltage is detected. The overload protection automatically stops the DC voltage to the product components whenever the temperature of the low-voltage power supply PCA rises to specified degrees.

The low-voltage power supply has a protective circuit against over-current, over-voltage and overload to prevent failures in the power supply circuit. If DC voltage is not being supplied from the low-voltage power supply, the protective function might be running. In this case, turn the power off and unplug the power cord. Do not turn the product switch on until the root cause is found and corrected.

The DC controller determines a low-voltage power supply failure and notifies the formatter when the protective function runs.

In addition, the low-voltage power supply has three fuses to protect against over-current. If over-current flows into the AC line, the fuse blows to stop AC power.

Safety interruption

For user and service technician's safety, the product interrupts the power supply of +24V by turning off the interlock switch. The DC power to the following components is interrupted:

High-voltage power supply

Fuser motor

The remote switch control circuit turns on or off the product so that the AC power flows even the power switch is turned off. Be sure to unplug the power cord before disassembling the product.

Power supply voltage detection

The power supply voltage detection controls the fuser properly according to the voltage. The DC controller detects whether the low-voltage power supply voltage is 100V or 220V according to the

POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE signal (/PSTYP100).

ENWW Engine control system 11

Sleep mode

The Sleep mode reduces the power consumption of the product. There are three types of sleep mode:

Sleep level 1

The DC controller stops the power supply of +24V according to the +24V CONTROL signal

(RMT_24V) and POWER FACTOR CORRECTION ACTIVATE signal (RMT_PFC) after a specified period of time from when a sleep command signal is sent from the formatter. The DC controller supplies +24V and the product exits sleep level 1 when a recover signal is sent from the formatter.

Active off

The DC controller stops the power supplies except for +3.3VA and +3.3VB to the formatter when an active off command signal is sent from the formatter during sleep level 1 or STBY period. The

DC controller supplies all power supplies and the product exits active off when a recover signal is sent from the formatter or the power switch is depressed for shorter than three seconds.

Inactive off

The DC controller stops the power supplies except for +3.3VA to the formatter when an inactive off command signal is sent from the formatter during sleep level 1 or STBY period. The product enters inactive off when the power switch is depressed for longer than three seconds. The DC controller supplies all power supplies and the product exits inactive off when a recover signal is sent from the formatter or the power switch is depressed for shorter than three seconds.

Power supply illumination control

The DC controller changes the light of the LED (power supply illumination) for the power switch according to the power supply condition as follows:

Lighting-up: STBY period or sleep level 1

Blinking: Active off

Lighting-out: Inactive off

Fuser temperature control

The fuser temperature control maintains the temperature of the fuser heater at its targeted temperature.

The DC controller monitors the FUSER TEMPERATURE signals (MFSRTH, S1FSRTH, S2FSRTH and

S3FSRTH) and sends the FUSER HEATER CONTROL signals (FSRD1 and FSRD2). The fuser heater control circuit controls the fuser heater depending on the signals so that the fuser heater remains at the targeted temperature.

Fuser heater protective function

The fuser heater protective function detects an abnormal temperature rise of the fuser and interrupts power supply to the fuser heater. The following protective components prevent an abnormal temperature rise of the fuser heater:

DC controller

The DC controller monitors the detected temperature of the thermistor. The DC controller releases the relay (RL1001) to interrupt power supply to the fuser heater when it detects an abnormal temperature.

Fuser heater safety circuit

The fuser heater safety circuit monitors the detected temperature of the thermistor. The fuser heater safety circuit releases the relays (RL1001 and RL1002) or deactivates the fuser heater control circuit to interrupt power supply to the fuser heater when it detects an abnormal temperature.

Thermoswitch

The contact of the thermoswitch is broken to interrupt power supply to the fuser heater when the temperature of the fuser heater is abnormally high.

Current detection circuit

The current detection circuit monitors the current value flowing in the fuser heater control circuit, and it releases the relay to interrupt power supply to the fuser heater when it detects an abnormal current flow.

The DC controller deactivates the FUSER HEATER CONTROL signal and releases the relays

(RL1001 and RL1002) to interrupt power supply to the fuser heater when it detects out of a specified current value of the CURRENT DETECTION signal (FSRCUR).

ENWW Engine control system 17

Fuser failure detection

The DC controller determines if the fuser functions properly. The DC controller determines a fuser failure, interrupts power supply to the fuser heater and notifies the formatter of a failure state when it encounters the following conditions:

Abnormally high temperature 1

The main thermistor detects 240°C (464°F) or higher for a specified period.

Abnormally high temperature 2

The sub thermistor 1 detects 230°C (446°F) or higher for a specified period during WAIT period.

The sub thermistor 1 detects 230°C (446°F) or higher for a specified period before INTR starts.

The sub thermistor 1 detects 300°C (572°F) or higher for a specified period.

Abnormally high temperature 3

Either one of the sub thermistor 2 or sub thermistor 3 detects 230°C (446°F) or higher for a specified period during WAIT period.

Either one of the sub thermistor 2 or sub thermistor 3 detects 230°C (446°F) or higher for a specified period before INTR starts.

Either one of the sub thermistor 2 or sub thermistor 3 detects 300°C (572°F) or higher for a specified period.

Abnormally low temperature 1

The main thermistor detects 60°C (140°F) or lower for a specified period during WAIT period.

The main thermistor detects 70°C (158°F) or lower for a specified period during heater temperature control of INTR period.

The main thermistor detects the targeted temperature minus 40°C (104°F) or lower for a specified period during heater temperature control or pressure roller cleaning of PRINT period.

The main thermistor detects 80°C (176°F) or lower for a specified period during heater temperature control or pressure roller cleaning of PRINT period.

Abnormally low temperature 2

The sub thermistor 1 detects 60°C (140°F) or lower for a specified period during WAIT period.

Abnormally low temperature 3

Either one of the sub thermistor 2 or sub thermistor 3 detects 60°C (140°F) or lower for a specified period during WAIT period.

Abnormal temperature rise

The main thermistor detects the targeted temperature minus 10°C (50°F) or lower for a specified period during heater temperature control of INTR period.

Drive circuit failure

The frequency of the ZEROCROSS signal is not detected in a specified value within a specified period after power-on.

The frequency of the ZEROCROSS signal is not detected in a specified value for a specified period after power-on and once the signal is detected.

Heater failure

A specified current value or lower is detected during the heater drive period of the WAIT period or when more than a specified electrical power is input.

Pressure roller cleaning

The pressure roller cleaning clears toner on the pressure roller surface by adhering to the paper according to a command from the formatter. This is executed only when the paper size is A4-R (rotated) or Letter-R (rotated). The operational sequence of the pressure roller cleaning is as follows:

1.

The DC controller picks up the paper from the designated input source when a cleaning command is sent from the formatter.

2.

When the trailing edge of paper passes through the transfer roller, the fuser motor repeats to rotate-and-stop at regular intervals and the fuser heater turns on-and-off at the same time.

3.

The toner on the pressure roller fuses onto the paper and the roller clears.

4.

The paper with fused toner is delivered out of the product.

Latent-image formation block

During the two steps that comprise this block, an invisible latent image is formed on the photosensitive drum.

Step 1: primary charging

To prepare for latent image formation, the surface of the photosensitive drum is charged with a uniform negative potential. The primary charging roller charges the photosensitive drum directly. The primary charging bias is applied to the primary charging roller to keep a negative potential on the drum surface.

Figure 1-14

Primary charging

Primary charging roller

Primary charging bias

24 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW

Step 2: laser-beam exposure

The laser-beam strikes the surface of the photosensitive drum to neutralize the negative charge. An electrostatic latent image forms where the negative charge was neutralized.

Figure 1-15

Laser-beam exposure

Photosensitive drum

Development block

Toner adheres to the electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum, which becomes visible.

Step 3: developing

Toner acquires a negative charge from the friction that occurs when the developing roller rotates against the developer blade. The developing bias is applied to the developing roller to make difference in the electric potential of the drum. The negatively charged toner is attracted to the latent image on the photosensitive drum because the drum surface has a higher potential. The latent image becomes visible on the drum.

Transfer block

During the two steps that comprise this block, a toner image on the photosensitive drum transfers to the paper.

Step 4: image transfer

The toner on the photosensitive drum is transferred to the paper. The transfer bias is applied to the transfer roller to charge the paper positive. The negatively charged toner on the drum surface transfers onto the paper.

Step 5: separation from the drum

The elasticity of the paper and the curvature of the photosensitive drum cause the paper to separate from the photosensitive drum. The static charge eliminator bias is applied to the static charge eliminator. The static charge eliminator reduces back side static discharge of the paper after the transfer process for stable paper-feed and print-quality.

Until the fusing stage is complete, the image is not permanently affixed to the paper. The toner can be easily smudged until the heat and pressure of the fusing process fix the image to the sheet.

Step 6: fusing

The toner melts by the heat and pressure as the paper passes through the rollers. The toner image is permanently fused to the paper. The fusing bias is applied to the fuser film to improve print-quality.

The cartridge serves a role in the following functions:

Memory tag

The memory tag is a non-volatile memory in the cartridge and the DC controller controls it. The memory tag stores information about usage for the cartridge and the DC controller reads and writes the data in the memory tag. The DC controller determines an memory tag error and notifies the formatter when it fails to either read from or write to the memory tag.

Cartridge-presence detection

The DC controller detects whether the cartridge is installed in the product by monitoring the cartridge presence sensor. The DC controller notifies the formatter when it determines a cartridge absence.

Toner-level detection

28 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW

The DC controller detects the remaining toner level in a cartridge according to the TONER LEVEL signal. The DC controller determines a cartridge low warning or cartridge end of life when the toner level drops below a specified level and notifies the formatter.

Cartridge-life detection

The DC controller detects the cartridge life of components that wear out. The DC controller determines a cartridge end of life and notifies the formatter.

Other image-formation functions

Drum discharge

The drum discharge is a feature to remove residual charge on the photosensitive drum surface for preventing the uneven image density. The laser-beam strikes the surface of the photosensitive drum to remove the residual charge.

The drum discharge is performed during LSTR period.

Transfer roller cleaning

The transfer roller cleaning is a feature to remove residual toner on the transfer roller surface for preventing the back side toner stain of the paper.

The residual toner reverse transfers to the photosensitive drum by applying the reverse transfer bias to the transfer roller. The residual toner is deposited in the toner collection box.

ENWW Image-formation system 29

The transfer roller cleaning is performed during WAIT period, INTR period, LSTR period and after forming the image for the front side of page when duplex printing.

Environment change control

The environment change control calibrates each high-voltage bias to obtain an appropriate image according to the environment changes.

The DC controller determines the environment, where the product is installed, based on the surrounding temperature and humidity data from the environment sensor. It adjusts the high-voltage biases to accommodate environmental changes.

The DC controller determines an environment sensor abnormality and notifies the formatter when it detects out of specified range data from the environment sensor.

Cassette lift operation

There are two types of cassette lift operation: cassette lift-up and cassette lift-down. The paper stack surface is lifted up to the pickup position. The lifting plate is lifted down when the pickup operation is not performed. The lift-up and lift-down operations are described in the following. Both upper and lower cassettes perform the same operation.

Lift-up operation

The DC controller rotates the cassette lifter motor until the cassette lift-up sensor detects the lifter rack.

Accordingly the lifter moves up and the lifting plate moves up to the pickup position. The lift-up operation is performed when the product is turned on or when the cassette is installed.

The DC controller determines a cassette lifter motor failure and notifies the formatter when the cassette lift-up sensor does not detect the lifter rack within a specified period from when the lift-up operation starts.

Lift-down operation

The paper loaded in the cassette presses against the cassette pickup roller when the lifting plate is in the pickup position. If this condition is kept for a long time, the paper deformed and a pickup failure may occur. Therefore, the lifting plate is moved down to release the paper from the pickup roller when a print operation is not performed.

36 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW

The DC controller reverses the cassette lifter motor until the cassette lift-up sensor stops sensing the lifter rack when a print job is not sent for a specified period.

The DC controller determines a cassette lifter motor failure and notifies the formatter when the cassette lift-up sensor keeps sensing the lifter rack for a specified period from when the lift-down operation starts.

The following figure shows the mechanism of the cassette lift operation for the upper cassette. Both upper and lower cassettes have the same mechanism.

The operational sequence of the skew-feed prevention is as follows:

1.

The leading edge of paper strikes the registration shutter as the paper is fed.

2.

The leading edge of paper is aligned with the shutter.

3.

As the feed roller keeps pushing the paper, the paper warps.

4.

The stiffness of paper pushes up the registration shutter.

5.

The paper passes through the registration shutter and straightens.

Media-length detection

The DC controller detects the length of paper to prevent the toner stain on the transfer roller and also to minimize jam occurrences in the duplexer. The DC controller measures the length of paper by monitoring the time from when the leading edge of paper reaches at the TOP sensor until when the trailing edge passes through and determines the paper size.

The DC controller determines a media-size mismatch and notifies the formatter when the detected paper size is under the following conditions:

The detected paper size is different from the size designated by the formatter.

The detected paper size is different from the size detected by the cassette media size switch.

ENWW Pickup, feed, and delivery system 43

Fuse and delivery block

The fuse and delivery block fuses the toner image onto the paper and delivers the printed page to the face-down output bin.

Loop control

The product controls the loop of paper to prevent the defects of print-quality and paper-feed.

If the fuser film/pressure roller rotates slower than the photosensitive drum/transfer roller, the paper loop increases.

If the fuser film/pressure roller rotates faster than the photosensitive drum/transfer roller, the paper loop decreases.

44 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW

The DC controller detects the loop amount by monitoring the loop sensor and controls the rotational speed of the fuser motor.

500-sheet paper feeder lift-up operation

The paper feeder performs the lift-up operation to keep the surface of paper at the pickup position whenever the following occurs:

The product is turned on

The cassette is installed

The paper stack surface lowers by pickup operation

Figure 1-43

500-sheet paper feeder lift-up operation

PF cassette media stack surface sensor

SR2

Lifting plate

Lifter

M2 PF cassette lifter motor

54 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW

The operational sequence of the lift-up is as follows:

1.

The lifter motor rotates to raise the lifter.

2.

The lifter motor stops when the PF cassette media stack surface sensor detects the paper surface.

3.

The lifter motor rotates again when the PF cassette media stack surface sensor detects that the stack surface lowers during a print operation.

The paper feeder controller determines a PF cassette lifter motor failure and notifies the formatter through the DC controller when the PF cassette media stack surface sensor does not detect the paper surface within a specified period from when the PF cassette lifter motor starts rotating.

500-sheet paper feeder cassette media-presence detection

The paper feeder controller detects whether the paper is loaded in the cassette by monitoring the PF cassette media out sensor.

The cassette media-presence detection is not performed during Sleep mode.

The paper feeder controller determines a media-absence and notifies the formatter through the DC controller when the PF cassette media out sensor does not detect the paper.

500-sheet paper feeder cassette multiple-feed prevention

The paper feeder uses a PF cassette separation roller to prevent the multiple sheets of paper from entering to the product.

The PF cassette separation roller transmits its driving force so that the roller rotates in the same direction with the PF cassette feed roller.

When one sheet of paper is picked up, driving force from the PF cassette feed roller transmits through the single sheet of paper because the torque limiter functions and the PF cassette separation roller follows the PF cassette feed roller. Therefore, single sheet is fed into the product.

When multiple sheets of paper are picked up, driving force from the PF cassette feed roller becomes weak due to a low friction between the sheets. The PF cassette separation roller rotates

ENWW 500-sheet paper feeder (Tray 4) 55

by its own driving force and the multiple-fed paper are pushed back to the cassette. Therefore, single sheet is fed into the product.

HCI cassette media-size detection and cassette-presence detection

The HCI controller detects the size of paper loaded in the cassette by monitoring the HCI cassette media size sensors. It determines whether A4-R or Letter-R is loaded and notifies the formatter through the DC controller. It also detects whether the cassette is installed to the 3,500-sheet paper deck by monitoring the HCI cassette open detection switches and notifies the formatter through the DC controller.

The cassette media-size detection and the cassette-presence detection are not performed during Sleep mode.

HCI left cassette lifter motor

The figure above illustrates the mechanism for the left cassette, but each HCI cassette has the same mechanism.

The operational sequence of the lift-up is as follows:

1.

The HCI cassette lifter motor rotates the pulley to reel the wire. Accordingly the tray moves up.

2.

The HCI cassette lifter motor stops when the HCI cassette media stack surface 2 sensor detects the paper surface.

3.

The HCI cassette lifter motor rotates again when the HCI cassette media stack surface 1 sensor detects that the stack surface lowers during a print operation.

The HCI controller determines an HCI cassette lifter motor failure and notifies the formatter through the

DC controller when the HCI cassette media stack surface 2 sensor does not detect the paper surface within a specified period from when the HCI cassette lifter motor starts rotating.

HCI cassette media-presence detection

The HCI controller detects whether the paper is loaded in the cassette by monitoring the HCI cassette media out sensor.

The cassette media-presence detection is not performed during Sleep mode.

72 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW

The HCI controller determines a media-absence and notifies the formatter through the DC controller when the HCI cassette media out sensor does not detect the paper.

Duplexer

The optional duplexer is installed in the left side of the product. The duplexer reverses the output roller and intermediate output roller in the product engine, reverses and feeds the paper passed through the fuser. Then it detects side misregistration to adjust the starting position of the scanning direction for the second side of paper according to the command from the formatter and feeds it to the product engine.

Duplexer reverse and feed operation

The duplexer reverses the feed and delivery rollers in the product to print on both sides. The paper that passed through the fuser unit reverses its feeding direction and is fed to the duplexer. The duplexer

78 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW

feeds the paper and performs horizontal registration to align the starting position of the main scan for the second-side print. Then, the paper is fed into the product engine unit again.

Duplexer reverse and feed operation sequence

The operational sequence of the reverse-and-feed operation is as follows:

1.

The paper printed on the first side passes through the fuser.

2.

The DC controller feeds the paper until the trailing edge of paper reaches the reverse position after the fuser output sensor detects the trailing edge.

3.

The duplex controller reverses the output roller and the intermediate output roller to feed the paper to the duplexer from the reverse position.

4.

The duplex controller detects the image starting position according to the side misregistration sensor and feeds the paper to the re-pickup waiting position.

5.

The duplex controller stops the paper temporarily at the re-pickup waiting position when the paper is standard size but shorter than Letter-R. It feeds the paper to the product engine again if a print

ENWW Duplexer 79

command is sent from the formatter. If a print command is sent before the paper reaches the repickup waiting position, the duplex controller does not stop the paper.

If the paper is other than standard size or standard size but longer than Letter-R and a print command is sent before the paper reaches the re-pickup waiting position, the duplex controller does not stop the paper. If a print command is not sent before the paper reaches the re-pickup waiting position, the duplex controller notifies the formatter of duplex re-pickup jam 3 through the

DC controller.

Side misregistration detection

The side misregistration detection is a feature to determine the starting position in scanning direction for the second side printing of the paper fed to the duplexer.

The LED and photoreceiver sensor of the side misregistration sensor are located paired at the position of right edge of each standard size paper. The side misregistration sensor reciprocates while lighting the LED which is corresponding to the paper size. The paper passes through in between the LED and photoreceiver sensor.

The side misregistration detection is performed when the duplex re-pickup sensor detects the leading edge of paper. The moving distance of the sensor is measured according to the home-position of the side misregistration sensor and the position where the right edge of paper interrupts LED light. Then the side misregistration amount is calculated by subtracting the distance of nominal position (without side

80 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW

ENWW misregistration) for each paper size. The side misregistration amount is notified to the formatter through the DC controller as a correction value of scanning start position for the second side printing.

Side misregistration failure detection

The duplex controller determines a side misregistration sensor failure and notifies the formatter when it encounters any one of the following condition:

The photoreceiver sensor does not output as prescribed when the product is turned on, when the duplexer is installed to the product or when the light intensity is adjusted before the paper is fed to the duplexer.

The side registration sensor does not detect the home-position.

An NVRAM data abnormality or communication error occurs when the product is turned on, when the duplexer is installed to the product or when the light intensity is adjusted and write/read the

NVRAM data during duplex printing.

Troubleshooting process

Determine the problem source

When the product malfunctions or encounters an unexpected situation, the product control panel alerts you to the situation. A troubleshooting flowchart helps you diagnose the root cause of the problem. The remainder of this chapter provides steps for correcting problems.

Use the troubleshooting flowchart to pinpoint the root cause of hardware malfunctions. The flowchart guides you to the section of this chapter that contains steps for correcting the malfunction.

Before beginning any troubleshooting procedure, check the following issues:

Are supply items within their rated life?

Does the configuration page reveal any configuration errors?

NOTE:

The customer is responsible for checking supplies and for using supplies that are in good condition.

Troubleshooting flowchart

This flowchart highlights the general processes that you can follow to quickly isolate and solve product hardware problems.

Each row depicts a major troubleshooting step. A “yes” answer to a question allows you to proceed to the next major step. A “no” answer indicates that more testing is needed. Go to the appropriate section in this chapter, and follow the instructions there. After completing the instructions, go to the next major step in this troubleshooting flowchart.

Power subsystem

Power-on checks

The basic product functions should start up when the product is connected into an electrical outlet and the power switch is pushed to the on position. If the product does not start, use the information in this section to isolate and solve the problem.

Power-on troubleshooting overview

Turn on the product power. If the control panel display remains blank, random patterns display, or asterisks remain on the control panel display, perform power-on checks to find the cause of the problem.

During normal operation, the main cooling fan begins to spin briefly after the product power is turned on. Place your hand over the holes in the left-side cover, near the formatter. If the fan is operating, you will feel air passing out of the product. You can also lean close to the product and hear the fan operating. You can also place your hand over the hole in the right-rear lower corner. If the fan is operating, you should feel air being drawn into the product. When this fan is operational, the DC side of the power supply is functioning correctly.

After the fan is operating, the main motor turns on (unless the right or front cover is open, a jam condition is sensed, or the paper-path sensors are damaged). You might be able to visually and audibly determine if the main motor is turned on.

If the fan and main motor are operating correctly, the next troubleshooting step is to isolate print engine, formatter, and control panel problems. Perform an engine test. If the formatter is damaged, it might interfere with the engine test. If the engine-test page does not print, try removing the formatter

ENWW Troubleshooting process 99

and then performing the engine test again. If the engine test is then successful, the problem is almost certainly with the formatter, the control panel, or the cable that connects them.

If the control panel is blank when you turn on the product, check the following items.

1.

Make sure that the product is connected directly into an active electrical outlet (not a power strip) that delivers the correct voltage.

2.

Make sure that the power switch is in the on position.

3.

Make sure that the fan runs briefly, which indicates that the power supply is operational.

4.

Make sure that the control panel display wire harness is connected.

5.

Make sure that the formatter is seated and operating correctly. Turn off the product and remove the formatter. Reinstall the formatter, and then verify that the heartbeat LED is blinking.

6.

Remove any external solutions, and then try to turn the product on again.

NOTE:

If the control panel display is blank, but the main cooling fan runs briefly after the product power is turned on, try printing an engine-test page to determine whether the problem is with the control-panel display, formatter, or other product assemblies.

HP Jetdirect LEDs

Connectivity LED

Heartbeat LED

Heartbeat LED

The heartbeat LED provides information about product operation. If a product error occurs, the formatter displays a message on the control-panel display. However, error situations can occur causing the formatter to control panel communication to be interrupted.

NOTE:

HP recommends fully troubleshooting the formatter and control panel before replacing either assembly. Use the heartbeat LED to troubleshoot formatter and control panel errors to avoid unnecessarily replacing these assemblies.

ENWW Tools for troubleshooting 101

Formatter to control panel communication interruptions

The firmware does not fully initialize and configure the control panel interface.

The control panel is not functioning (either a failed assembly or power problem).

Interface cabling between the formatter and control panel is damaged or disconnected.

TIP:

If the connectivity LED is illuminated, the formatter is fully seated and the power is on. The pins for the LED circuit in the formatter connector are recessed so that this LED will not illuminate unless the formatter is fully seated.

The heartbeat LED operates according to the product state. When the product is initializing, see

Heartbeat LED, product initialization on page 102 .

Print/stop test

Use this diagnostic test to isolate the cause of problems such as image-formation defects and jams within the engine. During this test you can stop the paper anywhere along the product paper path. The test can be programmed to stop printing internal pages or an external print job when the paper reaches a certain position. The test can also be programmed to stop from 0 to 60,000 ms. If the timer is set to a value that is greater than the job-print time, you can recover the product in one of two ways.

1.

At the product control panel, press the Home button.

2.

Open the following menus:

Administration

Troubleshooting

Diagnostic Tests

144 Chapter 2 Solve problems ENWW

3.

Scroll to the Print/Stop Test item, and then press the OK button .

4.

Enter a range, and then pess the OK button.

After the print job is completed, press the OK button to return to the Troubleshooting menu before the timer times out.

After the timer times out, press the Stop button. Activate the door switch to restart the engine and return it to a normal state.

NOTE:

Do not try to perform a print/stop test while the product is calibrating, because you might be required to restart the product. If a jam message displays on the control panel during testing, activate the door switch.

Control-panel tests

Open the following menus:

Administration

Diagnostic Tests

Available control-panel tests

LEDs: test the LEDs on the control panel.

Display: sequence through display tests.

Buttons: tests the key pad and other buttons.

Half self-test

Perform a half self-test to determine which image-formation process might be malfunctioning.

NOTE:

It might be easier to perform the print/stop test to stop the product during the printing process.

See

Print/stop test on page 144

.

1.

Print a configuration page from the control panel.

2.

Open the cartridge door after the paper advances half-way through the product, which is about 3 to 5 seconds after the main motor begins to rotate. The leading edge of the paper should have advanced past the toner cartridge.

3.

Remove the toner cartridge.

4.

Open the toner cartridge drum shield to view the drum surface.

If a dark and distinct toner image is present on the drum surface, assume that the cleaning, conditioning, writing, and developing functions of the electrophotographic process are functioning correctly. Troubleshoot the failure as a transfer or fusing problem. If no image is present on the drum, perform the drum rotation test check. See

Drum rotation test check on page 146

.

ENWW Tools for troubleshooting 145

Drum rotation test check

NOTE:

This test is especially important if refilled toner cartridges are in use.

The photosensitive drum, which is located in the toner cartridge, must rotate in order for the print process to work. The photosensitive drum receives its drive from the main gear assembly. Use this procedure to determine whether the drum is rotating.

1.

Open the cartridge door.

2.

Remove the toner cartridge.

3.

Mark the cartridge drive gear with a felt-tipped marker. Note the position of the mark.

4.

Install the toner cartridge, and then close the cartridge door. The start-up sequence should rotate the drum enough to move the mark on the gear.

5.

Open the product and inspect the mark on the cartridge drive gear.

Verify that the mark moved. If there was no movement, inspect the main gear assembly to make sure that it connects with the toner-cartridge gears. If the drive gears function but the drum does not move, replace the toner cartridge.

Component test (special-mode test)

This test activates individual parts independently to isolate problems.

Each component test can be performed once or repeatedly. If you turn on the Repeat option from the drop-down menu, the test cycles the component on and off. This process continues for two minutes, and then the test terminates.

1.

At the product control panel, press the Home button.

2.

Open the following menus:

Administration

Troubleshooting

Diagnostic Tests

Component Test

3.

Select the component test options for the test you want to run.

Restore the service ID

Restore the service ID

If you replace the formatter, the date is lost. Use this menu item to reset the date to the original date that the product was first used. The date format is YYDDD. Use the following formula to calculate the dates:

1.

To calculate YY, subtract 1990 from the calendar year. For instance, if the product was first used in 2002, calculate YY as follows: 2002 - 1990 = 12. YY = 12.

2.

Subtract 1 from 10 (October is the tenth month of the year): 10 - 1 = 9.

Multiply 9 by 30: 9 x 30 = 270 or add 17 to 270: 270 + 17 = 287. Thus, DDD = 287.

294 Chapter 2 Solve problems ENWW

Convert the service ID to an actual date

You can use the product Service ID number to determine whether the product is still under warranty.

Use the following formula to convert the Service ID into the installation date as follows:

1.

Add 1990 to YY to get the actual year that the product was installed.

2.

Divide DDD by 30. If there is a remainder, add 1 to the result. This is the month.

3.

The remainder from the calculation in step 2 is the date.

Using the Service ID 12287 as an example, the date conversion is as follows:

1.

12 + 1990 = 2002, so the year is 2002.

2.

287 divided by 30 = 9 with a remainder of 17. Because there is a remainder, add 1 to 9 to get

10, which represents October.

3.

The remainder in step 2 is 17, so that is the date.

4.

The complete date is 17-October-2002.

NOTE:

A six-day grace period is built into the date system.

Format Disk and Partial Clean functions

Active and repository firmware locations

The firmware bundle consists of multiple parts. The main components are the Windows CE Operating

System and the product/peripheral firmware files.

There are two locations/partitions on the hard drive where the firmware components are stored:

The Active – where the Operating System and firmware currently are executing

The Repository – the recovery location

If the Active location is damaged, or a 3 Partial Clean was performed, the product automatically copies over the OS and firmware files from the Repository location and the product recovers.

If both the Active and Repository locations are damaged, or a 2 Format Disk was performed, then both locations are gone and the error message 99.09.67 displays on the control-panel display. The user must upload the firmware to the product in order for it to function again.

CAUTION:

The 2 Format Disk option performs a disk initialization for the entire disk. The operating system, firmware files, and third party files (among other files) will be completely lost. HP does not recommend this action with out first contacting support.

Partial Clean

The 3 Partial Clean option erases all partitions and data on the disk drive, except for the firmware repository where a backup copy of the firmware file is stored. This allows the disk drive to be reformatted without having to download a firmware upgrade file to return the product to a bootable state.

Characteristics of a partial clean

Customer-defined settings, third-party solutions, firmware files, and the operating system are deleted.

Rebooting the product restores the firmware files from the Repository location, but does not restore any customer-defined settings.

For previous HP products, a Hard Disk Initialization is similar to executing the 3 Partial Clean function for this product.

CAUTION:

HP recommends backing-up product configuration data before executing a 3 Partial

Clean if you need to retain customer-defined settings. See the Backup/Restore item in the Device

Maintenance menu.

Reasons for performing partial clean

The product continually boots up in an error state.

NOTE:

Try clearing the error prior to executing a 3 Partial Clean.

Customer self-repair warranty service

HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period,

HP identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, HP will ship that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts: 1) Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request HP to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service. 2) Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for Customer Self Repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, this may be done at no additional charge under the type of warranty service designated for your product.

Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day delivery. Same-day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography permits. If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will help you over the phone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a defective part must be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective part may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used.

Environmental product stewardship program

Protecting the environment

Hewlett-Packard Company is committed to providing quality products in an environmentally sound manner. This product has been designed with several attributes to minimize impacts on our environment.

Ozone production

This product generates no appreciable ozone gas (O

3

).

Power consumption

Power usage drops significantly while in Ready or Sleep mode, which saves natural resources and saves money without affecting the high performance of this product. Hewlett-Packard printing and imaging equipment marked with the ENERGY STAR

®

logo is qualified to the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR specifications for imaging equipment. The following mark will appear on ENERGY STAR qualified imaging products:

Additional ENERGY STAR qualified imaging product model information is listed at: www.hp.com/go/energystar

Toner consumption

EconoMode uses less toner, which might extend the life of the toner cartridge. HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might outlast the mechanical parts in the toner cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade and is no longer acceptable, consider replacing the toner cartridge.

Paper use

This product’s manual/automatic duplex feature (two-sided printing) and N-up printing (multiple pages printed on one page) capability can reduce paper usage and the resulting demands on natural resources.

Plastics

Plastic parts over 25 grams are marked according to international standards that enhance the ability to identify plastics for recycling purposes at the end of the product’s life.
