Tr ou blesh ootin g Med ia J a m s/P r in th ea d Cr a sh es
The failure modes “media jam” and “head crash” are grouped together
because in many cases a media jam causes the media to lift up into the
carriage path and cause a head crash, thus causing many media jam
failures to be reported as head crashes.
1 Did the media jam occur when loading media?
D If the client has had media jams, it is common for pieces of media to
get stuck in the media path. Clear the media path.
2 Is the customer using non-HP media?
D The use of non-HP media can easily be the cause of media jams and
head crashes (especially head crashes because HP media is specially
formulated to avoid cockle, one of the primary causes of head
crashes). If the media is not HP approved, advise the customer to use
HP media and check to see if the problem now solved.

3 Is the client using Best Mode on Coated Media in high humidity?
D In this particular case, head crashes could occur due to worst casing.
Recommend a change of media, print mode, or humidity conditions.
4 What is the Firmware Revision? (On ly a p p lica ble to HP Design J ets
2500CP a n d 2000CP )
D Must be A02.01 or more recent. If not, upgrade.
D Explanation - In earlier releases of firmware a media jam/head
crash can be caused at the start of a plot. This can occur in the
“POME” pen alignment or closed loop color calibration, because
the leading edge of the media is brought back very close to the
Media Separator edge. If the edges cross, the media can lift up
when it is advanced, causing a media jam or head crash. It is more
likely to occur the more curled the media is.
5 Check the Media Separator (On ly a p p lica ble to HP Design J ets
2500CP a n d 2000CP )
D For units fabricated before Serial Numbers C4703A ESA7C04586 and
C4704A ESA7C10343. If the Media Separator is detaching do not
stick it down again, as it will detach again. Also, never reposition a
Media Separator, because it has an extremely tight positioning
tolerance. For Media Separators that are lifting off the Overdrive
Assembly, replace the entire Overdrive Assembly.
D Explanation - The previous adhesive used under the Media
Separator can detach from the Overdrive Assembly. New
Overdrive Assemblies use a much better adhesive – it can be
easily differentiated from the old adhesive because it is white
instead of transparent. The Media Separator should never be
repositioned; it has an extremely tight tolerance. If it is too far
from the linear blade it can cause media crashes against the
Linear Blade. If it is too close it can cause media jams between the
leading edges of the media and the Media Separator.
6 Did the failure occur at the end of the media roll?
D There are two known failure modes in this case. One is with Vinyl
media, in which case the end of the media was glued too strongly to the
roll, which can cause a head crash. The other is with Coated Media,
where some rolls have the final edge of the media bent in a “C” shape
which could cause a head crash when passing under the carriage. In
both cases the problem has been fixed and a new roll of media should
solve it.

7 Replace the Overdrive Assembly and the Clutch ' page 8-69.
D Explanation - For a unit fabricated before September of 1997 the
clutch could cause intermittent media jams. Refer to the applicable
Service Note. For a printer fabricated before J uly 1997 the linear
blade could be too high, causing media jams.
8 Check for missing/blocked starwheels or starwheel mount assemblies.
D Explanation - These parts can lead to media jams if missing or
blocked.
9 The Carriage is at the incorrect height in relation to the Drive Roller.
Perform the Refill Calibration ' page 5-9 and try to load the media
again.
D The refill station positioning must be checked afterwards since it is
affected. The refill station can be adjusted to accommodate the change
in Printhead Height. The specification for Printhead Height is 1.2 -
1.4mm. Printhead Heights higher than this can adversely affect print
quality.
Wh a t ca n I d o if th e P r in ter d oes n ot P ow er ON?
1 Check that the power cord is connected correctly.
2 Check that the Flash SIMM is installed correctly in the correct slot (the
first slot from the left) at the back of the Printer.
3 On the Main PCA, in the Electronics Module, there are other fuses that
are not controlled by the firmware so that, if they are burnt, they can
cause a no-power-up problem. It is r ecom m en d ed to ch eck th e
r esista n ce of th e m otor s in a n o-p ow er -u p situ a tion befor e
in sta llin g a n ew Electr on ics Mod u le. If you have a short in one
motor, you will burn the new Electronics Module.
4 Try to disconnect all the cables, apart from the Front Panel Cable, from
the Electronics Module and then try to power ON the Printer again. If
nothing appears on the front-panel display, then replace the Electronics
Module ' page 8-6. If the Printer does Power On with the cables
disconnected, then the problem must be with another component of the
Printer. To find the faulty component, power OFF the Printer and
connect one of the cables and power ON again. Once the faulty
component is connected, it will not allow the Printer to power ON. This
component should then be replaced.

Wh a t is th e In k System ?
For each of the four colors of ink in your printer ’s ink system, there are
three separate components that work together as a system. The components
for each ink color are color-coded to help you install them correctly.
In k Ca r tr id ge
The ink cartridges are a large-capacity ink supply from which the
printheads are refilled whenever the ink volume in the printhead drops
below a minimum level.
P r in th ea d
The printhead has a 600 dpi thermal inkjet head for firing ink droplets onto
the media and a reservoir which holds enough ink for a large number of
prints. The actual number of prints between refills depends on the size and
type of images you are printing.
P r in th ea d Clea n er
The printer uses the printhead cleaner to clean and maintain the printhead
to ensure the best possible image quality, and to seal the printhead when it
is not in use to prevent it from drying out.
How Do I Tr ou blesh oot th e In k System ?
1 If the error message IIn k system In com p ltI appears on the
front-panel it means that the ink cartridge valve has been disconnected,
so:
D If this is the first failure try to REINSTALL the failing Ink System.
D If the failure has been very frequent REPLACE the failing Ink
System (The valve could be damaged).
If this doesn’t solve the problem, continue with the following process.

2 Reinstall the Ink Delivery System as follows:
1 Remove the four printheads from the carriage. On the front panel you
will see the four squares representing the printheads flashing.
2 Clean the electrical contacts using the Ink Cleaner Part Number
C6247A.
3 Reinstall all the printheads, one by one, checking on the front panel
that the squares representing the reinstalled printheads are steady.
D DO NOT INSERT THE NEXT PRINTHEAD UNTIL THE
PRINTER HAS ACCEPTED THE CURRENT PRINTHEAD.
D If, even after the electrical contacts have been cleaned, the
printhead is not accepted REPLACE THE COMPLETE INK
SYSTEM (Printhead/Head Cleaner/Ink Cartridge) for this color.
D If, after inserting a NEW Ink System, the printhead is not
accepted, the problem may be with the printer. Replace the
Carriage Assembly ' 8-42.
4 If you have reinserted the four printheads and the printer has
accepted them continue reinstalling the head cleaners.
5 Remove and reinstall the ink cartridge valves, one by one, checking
on the front panel that the squares representing the reinstalled ink
cartridge are steady.
D If the ink cartridge is not accepted, REPLACE THE COMPLETE
INK SYSTEM (Printhead/Head Cleaner/Ink Cartridge) for this
color.
D If, after reinserting the NEW Ink System, the ink cartridge is not
accepted, the problem may be with the printer. Make sure that the
Refill Assembly cable is not damaged and is correctly connected to
the Interconnect PCA. If the cable is correctly connected and is not
damaged then replace the Refill Assembly ' page 8-55.
3 If the problem is fixed, but it reappears frequently, contact a HP dealer
for a replacement (the Ink System may be damaged.)

Does th e Cu stom er h a ve Mid -P r in t Refill P r oblem s in
HP Design J ets 3500CP /3000CP ?
New Refill F ea tu r es in HP Design J et CP Ser ies (in th e ca se of
Design J ets 2X00CP, th e fir m w a r e r elea se m u st be a t lea st A.04.05)
1 Adaptive trigger. The printer looks for low density places to stop and
refill in the print where it will be less noticeable. This feature becomes
active when 75% of the ink in the printhead has been used up. RIP’s
may have disabled this feature, or enabled it at a different ink level.
2 Slightly more useable ink for Imaging printheads. There is an
additional 10% of usable ink.
3 New refill type selections. User can select from three different refill
types through the front panel (Device Setu p / Refill=). RIP’s may
support these selections, too:
D Type A is similar to what HP DesignJ et 2xxxCP does at refill.
D Type B finishes the print to a clean edge before refilling.
D Type C does a quicker, more frequent refill.
D The Default type makes the correct selection for HP media types.
D When using non-HP medias, the following settings are probably best:
Glossy - B or C
Coa ted - A or B
Ba ck lit - B or A
4 Additional printhead servicing and warming activities are done during
refills, which improves the quality over the 2xxxCP. The user may notice
some new servicing (i.e. noises) at mid-page refills.
5 “Big print” feature. When a refill happens during a large print, the
printer will automatically refill again at the end of the print, to make
sure the maximum ink is available for the next print, which might also
be expected to be large. The user is unlikely to notice this difference in
behavior, since the printer often refills at the end of large pages.
Wor k in g w ith r efill p r oblem s
General tips:
D Check media type is loaded correctly.
D Check refill type is set to default.
D Try a higher image quality setting for better performance.
D Check user ’s expectations - refill performance is not always “perfect”, but
almost always is acceptable for poster-type applications. Photo medias
are the most sensitive to defects.

Refill Avoid a n ce Tip s
Printer:
1 Try to “top off” printheads before large prints with “Refill Now” option in
Front Panel (Image Quality / Printhead Service / Refill now). If a refill
happened at the end of the last print (usually happens with big prints),
this is not necessary.
2 If you have just canceled a print, you may need to use the “refill now”
option to guarantee the maximum ink available for the next print.
Print Composition Tips:
1 Don’t try to nest more than 15 ft^2 of prints.
2 If the print is lighter in color at one end, rotate print so that it is the last
part to be printed. Refills are less noticeable in light prints.
3 If possible, lighten background colors or use a gradient in place of a solid
fill.
4 Textured areas make refills less noticeable than “flat” color areas.
How Do I Clea n th e Electr ica l Con ta cts?
Th e p r oblem .
The printer fires drops by sending electrical signals from the printhead
carriage to the printhead through the electrical contacts present on the
carriage and on the printheads. The problem is that when you load the
printheads into their stalls, sometimes some ink goes over the carriage
electrical contacts, and when the printhead is installed over the printhead
electrical contacts. When the printer prints, some ink goes to the bottom of the
electrical contacts. This causes electrical continuity problems that can be fixed
very easily.
Th e solu tion .
A new tool has been created especially to clean the electrical contacts and is
called the Ink Cleaner (Part Number C6247A - includes the instructions).

D XX is the proper code between 01 and 98
D YYYY indicates which ink system is affected. Each Y represents one
color in the order YCMK (as installed in the Carriage) and can be either:
D 0 - if the error DOES NOT apply to that color.
D 1 - if the error DOES apply to that color.
The error codes (XX) are codified following these rules:
D A bigger number means higher severity of the error.

Introduction
This chapter explains how to use the built-in Service Tests (Diagnostics) and
what to do if the tests fail. If possible, always perform a Service Test on the
component that you are about to replace, just to make sure that is the
component that has failed. If the test on that component passes, there is no
need to replace it.
Diagnostics - Self Test
In itia liza tion Sequ en ces
Whenever the the Printer is switched on, it automatically performs a series
of internal self tests and mechanical initialization sequences. If the Printer
is switched ON in Service Mode, the front-panel display will show a code
next to the message “Initializing”. These codes refer to the part which the
printer is testing at that moment. If any of these parts fail, a system error
will appear and you should consult the System Error Codes ' Chapter 2.

1 Make sure the printer is switched OFF from the power switch on the
back of the printer and n ot from the standby button on the front of the
printer.
2 Hold the UP and ENTER keys down and switch the printer ON. Wait
until the message “Status/Initializing” is displayed on the front-panel
before releasing the UP and ENTER keys.
The reason for entering the Service Tests by powering ON is because
various tests are performed during the initialization of the printer and
also certain System Errors will cause an abnormal start up and will
never reach the “Status/ Ready” message on the front-panel.
3 Once the message “Status/Ready” is displayed on the front-panel, press
the En ter key.
4 Use the Ar r ow keys to scroll to the “Utilities” menu display and press
the En ter button. Make sure that you are in the Full menu mode
because otherwise you will not be able to access the “Service Tests”
submenu.
5 Use the Ar r ow keys to scroll to the “Service Tests” menu display and
press the En ter button.
6 Use the Ar r ow keys to scroll to the “Diagnostics” menu display and
press the En ter button.
7 Use the Ar r ow buttons to scroll through the test selections.
8 Press the En ter button to begin a specific test when the required test is
displayed.
If the printer is not used for 5 minutes, the printer exits out of the
Service Mode and you must repeat the above steps to enter the service
mode again.
In some cases a quick press of a button may not be recognized by the
processor. When pressing a button, be sure to press it deliberately and
all the way to the bottom of its travel.
If the Printer hangs up during a test, switch the Printer OFF and restart
from step 2.
Once you are inside the Diagnostics submenu, the front-panel keys can be
used in the following way:
D Up Ar r ow - Go to the next test.
D Dow n Ar r ow - Go to the previous test.
D P r eviou s - Exit the current test.
D En ter - Perform the current test.

Test P a tter n 2: Image Quality Test
This test pattern checks for overall image print quality.
If you do not see a ny problems with the ima ge qua lity test (simila r to the
exa mple shown below), then the printer is functioning correctly. The
problem ma y be with the RIP, driver, etc. tha t the customer is using.
Refer to pa ge 6-18 for further informa tion.
If you see image problems in this test pattern then continue with the
following procedures which will help you determine the nature of the
problem.

One of the most common problems that affects the overall image quality is
‘Banding’.
Ba n d in g P r oblem s
Banding is when you see repetitive horizontal bands within the printed
image (these may appear as light or dark bands).
Test p a tter n 2 is printed with four primary colors; black, cyan, magenta
and yellow. The three secondary colors printed are; red, blue and green
which are composed by mixing the primary colors as shown in the table
below:
Secon d a r y Color
P r im a r y Color
Com p on en ts
Red (R)
Magenta (M) and Yellow (Y)
Magenta (M) and Cyan (C)
Cyan (C) and (Y)
Blue (B)
Green (G)
The main causes of banding are due to:
D Printheads.
D Media advance.
Ba n d in g Ca u sed by P r in th ea d P r oblem s
If test p a tter n 2 has clear or dark horizontal bands in one or more of the
primary color columns, then several of the secondary color columns will also
have the same type of bands in the same position (but perhaps with less
intensity).
These bands are caused by two types of printhead nozzle failure; either
nozzles not printing, or nozzles misdirected. For further information on
printhead nozzle failures, refer to Test P a tter n 3 ' page 6-13.
In the following Example A, several nozzles in the magenta printhead are
not printing. There will be clear repetitive bands (perhaps white) in the
magenta column. Consequently, you will see lower intensity bands in the
same print position in the red (M + Y) and blue (M + C) secondary color
columns.

Ba n d in g Ca u sed by Med ia Ad va n ce P r oblem s
Another type of banding is caused by an inaccurate media advance. The
printer prints an image by ‘bands’ or ‘swaths’ which are fixed widths
depending on the advance of the media roller. If the advance of the roller
differs from the theoretical advance, there will be banding (horizontal
repetitive bands along Test P a tter n 2) in all the primary and secondary color
columns.
The bands can appear as dark bands, due to a shorter advance of the roller
which causes an overlap, or lighter bands due to a longer advance causing
spaces.
Ba n d in g P r oblem :
Banding in all color columns (see Example B).
P r oblem Descr ip tion : The causes are not related to misalignment but
the troubleshooting actions are the same.
Cor r ective Action :
Refer to Test P a tter n 4 ' page 6-14 to

Ba n d in g Ca u sed by Misa lign m en t
There are two types of misalignment; vertical and horizontal. Refer to Test
P a tter n 4 ' page 6-14 for further information.
Misalignment between two primary colors when creating a secondary color
can cause two different effects:
D If there is horizontal misalignment of the colors, it will create banding.
D If there is vertical misalignment of the colors, it will create gaps or
overlaps between colors (see Example C).
Ba n d in g P r oblem 5:
Black, cyan, magenta and yellow columns are
correct but banding in one, or all of the secondary
color columns.

Test P a tter n 3: Nozzle Print Test
Use this test purely to confirm a n error highlighted in Test Pa ttern 2.
Some of the printhea d nozzle problems tha t you will see in Test Pa ttern
3 do not mea n you will not get perfect ima ge qua lity results. The printer
ha s interna l corrections tha t will hide ma ny nozzle defects.
In this test all the 240 nozzles of each printhead are tested. For each of the
4 colors you will see the numbers 10 thru to 240 over the diagonally stepped
lines in increments of 10. These numbers correspond to the nozzle number
that prints each step.
There are two printhead nozzle errors:
D Nozzles not printing.
D Nozzles misdirected.
Nozzles n ot p r in tin g
There are two ways to see this problem, it is easier to see the error from the
first check.
1 In the top pattern, marked with numbers, if the diagonally stepped lines
are broken in one or more steps it indicates that this specific nozzle(s)
may be blocked and are not printing. White lines will also be visible in
the area fill at both sides of the pattern.
2 Below the top pattern, there is a set of horizontal straight lines. When one
or more nozzles are not printing the corresponding lines will be missing.
Nozzles m isd ir ected
If all the stepped lines are visible in the top pattern, then all the printhead
nozzles are printing. However the nozzles could still be misdirected, possibly
due to some dried ink around the nozzles.
There are two ways to see this problem, it is easier to see the misalignment
from the second check.
3 In the top pattern, marked with numbers, if the diagonally stepped lines
are not equally positioned in every step it indicates that this specific
nozzle(s) may be misdirected.
4 Below the numbered pattern, there is a set of horizontal straight lines.
When one or more nozzles are misdirected there will be unequal spaces
between the corresponding lines.

This test pattern is to check the color alignment, and produces 6 patterns
each with 2 different primary colors. In each pattern you will see primary
color circles. If there is misalignment between the primary colors the
composite color will be present in one part of the circle and white will be
visible at the opposite side of the circle.
There are two types of misalignment (see Example D):
D Horizontal – when the misalignment is in the horizontal axis.
D Vertical – when the misalignment is in the vertical axis.

Test P a tter n 5: Color Variation Test
This test produces four boxes; black, blue, cyan and yellow. In each box
there are three horizontal bands, the two outer bands are 100% shade, the
inner band is shaded from 100% scaling to 75%.
The purpose of this test is to determine at what percent the middle shading
becomes visible from the two outer bands. The best way to do this is to cover
the box with a piece of paper and slide the paper horizontally across the box.
Stop as soon as you see a different shade in the middle box. You can then
determine the percentage scaling from the figure at the top of the box.

No P r in tin g Defects F ou n d in th e Im a ge Qu a lity P r in t
If all the test patterns from the Image Quality Print are correct and you still
experience print quality problems, here are some of the more likely causes
to check:
D The print mode used in your printer is incorrect (this is defined by the
printer ’s front-panel menu selections).
D Non-HP driver.
D The RIP (If you are using one).
D The software applications you are using.
Refer to the User ’s Gu id e for further information on how to configure the
system with correct settings.
Med ia
Always make sure that the customer is using the appropriate media for the
required image and that it is consistent with the software application being
used. To ensure color accuracy and print quality performance of the printer,
only media types that have been certified for the printer should be used.
Use of non-HP media or HP media not certified for the printer may
significantly reduce the color and print quality of the required images. For
details of HP media, refer to the User ’s Gu id e or the Med ia Gu id e for th e

Print Quality Problems
P Q P r oblem :
Dark Streaks at edges of page (Icicles)
P r in th ea d s Affected : Imaging Inks (Not UV resistant)
P r oblem Descr ip tion : At one or both edges of print, thin dark lines
appear, which are a few millimeters thick at the
base, and may extend several centimeters into the
print. They usually occur in heavy density prints.
Sometimes ink smearing in the print margins is
also seen.
Ca u se of P r oblem :
Excess ink on the printhead surface during
printing.
Cor r ective Action :
Switch to a higher print quality mode. They tend
to get less ink on the surface of the printhead. If
you are printing on non-HP coated paper, if it
cockles (gets wavy when printed on), this may be
making the problem worse.
On ly Applica ble to HP Design J et 3500CP
P Q P r oblem :
Banding at mid-page refill
P r in th ea d s Affected : All
Cor r ective Action :
Solution will be different depending on the type of
problem:
1 Light band at refill - Band of 0.4 inches, all
colors light, sharp edges ' cover was opened on
printer while printing. This causes the
remainder of a swath to not be printed, or to be
printed incorrectly.
D Solution - Don’t touch printer while printing.
2 Wider band, single color missing, sharp bottom
edge to defect ' printhead ran out of ink prior
to refill.
D Solution - Check Ink Cartridge and replace
if empty. If still plenty of ink left, printer is
not refilling correctly, which could be either
a cartridge or a printer problem.

3 Band with sharp top edge, single or multiple
colors missing ' printhead did not start
printing correctly after refill.
D Solution - Slight color variation is normal,
particularly on glossy medias. The defect
should not normally be visible beyond
0.5-1.0 meter viewing distance. If a more
severe defect occurs, this usually indicates
that the printheads are dirty. Performing a
printhead recovery may fix this problem.
These types of problems may occur more
frequently when printing at low humidity
and temperature.
4 Missing single row of dots within 0.4I of refill '
there is nozzle not functioning on the printhead.
The printer cannot hide nozzles within 0.4” of a
refill if you are using a type B refill.
5 Improving color variation seen at refill.
D Solution - If customer is printing on coated
paper, check that they have indeed loaded it
as Coated or Heavy Coated media. If not,
they should load the paper as the correct
type, or select Refill Type A in the front
panel menus (Device Setu p / Refill Type
/ Type A).
6 Improving haze seen at refill.
D Solution - Haze is the result of an ink-media
interaction that is also dependent upon time,
humidity, and temperature. Printing in very
dry conditions will increase haze problems.
Refill Type B will usually give better haze
results than Type A ( a thin line instead of
1 cm band of haze). On some medias, Refill
Type C may reduce or eliminate haze
problems. The Refill Type can be selected by
the user through the front panel menus,
Device Setu p / Refill Type / Defa u lt is
the normal setting, which chooses
automatically between Refill Types A, B or C
based upon Media type selection and Quality
level selection. The User ’s Guide contains a
table with the default selections.

P Q P r oblem :
Color spots in print
P r in th ea d s Affected : All
P r oblem Descr ip tion : Small (usually 1-3 mm) dots of color showing up in
unexpected places on the print. Dots often show
more strike-through on coated paper than normal
printing.
Ca u se of P r oblem :
Fiber on printhead directly over some nozzles is
catching ink drops, then dripping onto print.
Cor r ective Action :
Usually the problem goes away when the
printheads are wiped at the end of the print. If it
persists, a printhead check or printhead recovery
will give it another try. If a user is having a lot of
problems with drips, it may be related to paper
dust from their media, or to a dusty environment
they are printing in.
P Q P r oblem :
Ghost image at top of page, first plot after pause
P r in th ea d s Affected : Imaging Inks
P r oblem Descr ip tion : Light spots in imaged media matching up to
mechanical features inside the printer (bail,
pinch-arm assemblies).
Ca u se of P r oblem :
Equilibration rate differences between media and
environment in areas that are “protected” by parts
of the printer.
Cor r ective Action :
Advance a little bit of media before the first print
of the day. “Move Media” option in the front panel
is an easy way to do this.

P Q P r oblem :
Missing/ Light Blocks of color in a print
P r in th ea d s Affected : All
P r oblem Descr ip tion : Small well defined areas of light color, 0.4 inches
tall, with a 4mm half–colored region on either
side.
Cor r ective Action :
Solution will be different depending on the type of
problem:
1 Cover opened, or cover sensor not making good
contact. If the user is present, usually a “Close
Window to Continue” message will show on the
front-panel if this is happening, or the printer ’s
carriage will be slowing down in the middle of
a printing pass.
D Solution - Check that covers are all shut.
Wiggle covers with printer idle to see if this
triggers any front panel messages. If so,
the cover sensors need adjustment.
2 Intermittent opens/shorts in printhead.
Printhead is shorting, probably due to ink in
the electrical contacts. As the liquid short
heats up, it may dry out and the printhead will
start functioning properly again.
D Solution - Check printer carriage and
printhead electrical contacts for dried ink.
Clean if dirty. If printhead still fails with
clean contacts, replace IDS.
3 Broken trace in carriage trailing cable.
D Solution - Replace the Trailing Cable or the
Carriage Assembly.

P Q P r oblem :
Bleed into white areas on Glossy media (Chia)
P r in th ea d s Affected : Imaging Inks (maybe UV Inks on
non-recommended medias)
P r oblem Descr ip tion : 1-3 millimeter ring or edge of light coloring where
white should be. Occurs worst on thin lines, and
after white regions of a print.
Ca u se of P r oblem :
Thin-layer chromatography effect occurring
between inked and uninked areas of the media.
Cor r ective Action :
Try the following:
1 Printing in a faster printmode will reduce or
eliminate this effect.
2 Add a 0.5cm stripe of the color showing the
problem down the sides of the print, where it
can be cut off after the print is finished.
3 If using non-HP media, try using HP media
instead. If using HP High-Gloss White Film
(not recommended for CP series!), try HP High
Gloss Photo or 3M Vinyl instead.
4 Reduce ink density in the affected area of the
print. This may prevent the problem as well.
P Q P r oblem :
Bleeding in stacked prints
P r in th ea d s Affected : Imaging Inks
Ca u se of P r oblem :
Prints develop bleed when stacked up soon after
printing.
P Q P r oblem :
Light band with frequency of 1/2 media roll
circumference
Ca u se of P r oblem :
Media stop or core insert rubbing against roll
cover, causing media tension change.

P Q P r oblem :
Printer Not Detecting Out Of Ink Properly
P r in th ea d s Affected : All
P r oblem Descr ip tion : 1 - Printer fails to stop printing when Printheads
out of ink, wasting media, possibly for several
plots. 2 - Printer reports out of ink as Printhead
Failure message.
Ca u se of P r oblem :
Out of Ink is determined when the following
conditions are true:
1 Ink Level indicator shows low AND
2 Six or more nozzles are missing in a Printhead
Check OR
3 The temperature of the printhead rises to 15
degrees above its normal operating
temperature.
If the ink level indicator is not showing low, (2) or
(3) will result in a Printhead Failure message.
Cor r ective Action :
The Printhead Check usually does a more reliable
job of checking for Out of Ink conditions. Setting the
printhead check to more frequent use will reduce the
amount of wasted media and ink. This is especially
recommended if the printer is being used
unattended. The printhead check does take about a
minute and a half to perform, and uses a thin strip
of media.

Introduction
This chapter is a step by step guide to the removal and installation of the
key components in the printer. You may find it useful to tick off the steps as
they are performed. Use the illustration at the end of each procedure to
identify the parts referred to in the text.
The procedures appear in order of removal. So the whole machine can be
stripped down by starting at the beginning of this chapter and working
through the subsequent procedures.

Clea n in g th e Electr ica l Con ta cts?
Th e p r oblem .
The printer fires drops by sending electrical signals from the printhead
carriage to the printhead through the electrical contacts present on the
carriage and on the printheads. The problem is that when you load the
printheads into their stalls, sometimes some ink goes over the carriage
electrical contacts, and when the printhead is installed over the printhead
electrical contacts. When the printer prints, some ink goes to the bottom of the
electrical contacts. This causes electrical continuity problems that can be fixed
very easily.
Th e solu tion .
A new tool has been created especially to clean the electrical contacts and is
called the Ink Cleaner (Part Number C6247A - includes the instructions).
Scheduled Maintenance
In some segments of the printer market, the customer tends to print more
than the maximum number of prints that the throughput allows, exceeding
by far the limit of the design. When this happens the customer runs into
print quality problems and continuous Printer failures.
The purpose of scheduled preventive maintenance is to avoid these failures -
ensuring a good performance during all the product life.
Level of P r in ter Usa ge
Normal printer use means an average of 15 image prints with an area of
0.76 m2/print (8 ft.2/print) per day. If the prints are smaller than this, the
number of pages per day can be higher.
Under normal usage conditions, it will be approximately 5 years before the
printer needs maintenance. If the printer is used more than the normal
usage conditions, then it will need maintenance service much more
frequently.
One of the EEROM counters is assigned to counting the number of swaths.
When the printer exceeds 7,000,000 passes (HP DesignJ ets
2500CP/2000CP) or 6,000,000 passes (HP DesignJ ets 3500CP/300CP), the
front panel displays the following message:
“Ma in ten a n ce Ad vised ”
The Service Print also conveys the usage information, and it is accessible by
the user.

Once the maintenance advised message is displayed, the preventive
maintenance kit must be used to replace the most worn parts of the printer.
Use the Removal and Installation Chapter of this Service Manual as a guide
to replace the necessary parts.
After the preventive maintenance is done the Customer Engineer must
reset the maintenance counter by entering the Service Calibrations Menu
and performing the Maintenance Calibration ' page 5-19. All other internal
counters must also be reset by entering the Service Tests Menu and
performing the Reset Counters test ' page 4-33.

P r in ted Cir cu it Assem blies (P CA)
The printer contains a system of several PCA and cabling which link the
various sub systems. The PCA system consists of the following:
D Power Supply Unit(PSU): This is connected directly to the mains supply.
It provides 35v and 26v to the rest of the electrical system.
D Main PCA: The controller PCA. It contains the I/O connectors for
connection to the host (MAC, PC or network) which provides the data to
be printed. The processing of this data is performed by the digital
system, the processor, the control ASIC and the memory. The processed
data is then sent to the carriage and the printheads via the writing
system ASIC, while at the same time the motors and the other systems
are controlled by the periphery control ASIC.
D Carriage PCA: Connected to the main PCA via the trailing cable. The
printhead data and power comes from the main PCA. The Carriage PCA
contains two ASICs for driving the four printheads. Also on the carriage
PCA are Analogue to Digital Converters (ADCs). These monitor the
printheads, the temperature and humidity sensors and the printhead
voltages. This information is fed back to the main PCA, enabling control of
the printheads over the expected range of environmental conditions.
Additionally the Y-axis encoder signals are sent to the main PCA via the
carriage PCA.
D Front Panel Assembly: This provides the user interface to the machine.
It is connected directly to the main PCA. The front panel assembly
consists of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD), a push button
keyboard and light emitting diodes (LEDs).

D Service Station Interconnect: This small PCA provides connectivity
between the main PCA and the sensors and stepper motors on the right
hand side. It is located underneath the service station.
D Refill Station Interconnect: This small PCA provides connectivity
between the main PCA and the sensors and stepper motors on the left
hand side. It is located on the left hand side plate.
Y-Axis Assem bly
The Y-axis Assembly provides accurate left and right motion to the
printheads. It aligns the printheads to the refill assembly and the service
station. The Y-axis assembly contains the following:
D Carriage Assembly.
D Y-axis Belt.
D Y-axis Belt Tensioner Holder.
D Y-axis Motor Assembly.
D Encoder Strip.
D Trailing Cable
Ca r r ia ge
The carriage assembly is installed onto slider rods with three bushings,
these are located underneath the carriage assembly. The carriage assembly
holds the four printheads.
D It warms the printheads and fires the nozzles.
D It regulates the distance between the printheads and the media by
means of a screw and nut system located at the rear.
It also contains the carriage PCA, temperature and air humidity sensors,
the line sensor, encoder strip sensor and the trailing cable. The carriage
assembly also pulls the media cutter across the media.
Y-a xis belt a n d Y-a xis belt ten sion er
The Y-axis belt is secured to the carriage assembly by routing it through a
labyrinth located under the carriage assembly. The Y-axis belt is tensioned
with a spring and wedge clip system located at the right side of the printer.
The belt is driven by the Y-axis motor assembly
Y-a xis m otor a ssem bly
The Y-axis motor assembly is secured to the slider rods on the left side of the
printer and contains a dc motor. The grounding of the encoder strip is
provided by a metal strip which is secured to the Y-axis motor assembly.

En cod er Str ip
The encoder strip is used by the carriage Assembly as a reference point. The
carriage assembly sensor reads windows in the encoder strip. This enables
the carriage assembly to know exactly where it is on the Y-axis assembly.
Tr a ilin g ca ble
The trailing cable consists of three ribbon cables. There are 32 conductors in
each cable, however conductor number 1 and 32 are not used, as they can be
broken when removing or installing. The three cables are all strapped
together, but are misaligned to make them easier to connect to the carriage
assembly. One end of the trailing cable is printed with red lines. These show
the engineer which end of the trailing cable to install into the carriage
assembly.
Ser vice Sta tion Assem bly
The Service Station is housed inside the right hand cover. At the top of the
Service Station is the printhead cleaner carriage. This assembly contains
four printhead cleaners (one for each printhead). Printhead cleaners are
disposable cassettes which maintain the condition of the printheads.
The main functions of the Service Station are:
D Move the Printhead Cleaner Carriage to the different positions needed to
perform the maintenance tasks on the printheads.
D Enable the change of the printhead cleaners by the customer.
D Press caps on the printhead cleaners against the printheads with
sufficient force to assure a perfect seal.
D Move the wipers on the printhead cleaners with a minimum speed to
clean the printheads.
P r im er Assem bly
The Primer Assembly applies a vacuum to the printhead. It is a
sub-assembly of the Service Station Assembly. It has two chambers (one
larger than the other). Air is moved from one chamber to the other by a
motor, this results in a vacuum which is applied to the printhead for
maintenance purposes.
Refill Assem bly
The Refill Assembly is housed inside the left hand cover. It refills all four
printheads simultaneously when the ink in any of the printheads fall below
a certain threshold. Ink is moved from the ink cartridges to the printheads
via four tubes. The ink is sucked up the four tubes to valves in the Refill
Assembly by air pressure. This is controlled by the raising and lowering of
the ink cartridges, which is done by the Elevator Assembly.

Eleva tor Assem bly
The Elevator Assembly is located under the Refill Assembly. Its function is
to raise and lower the four ink cartridges. The Elevator Assembly is raised
and lowered by three cams and a stepper motor.
D When the Elevator is in the up position it causes negative air pressure in
the Refill Assembly. This has the effect of drawing ink from the ink
cartridges into the printheads.
D When the Elevator is in the down position the air pressure is stabilized.
D The middle position enables the removal and installation of the four ink
cartridges.
X-Axis Assem bly
The X-axis assembly is located on the right hand side of the printer and
contains a dc motor. This turns the drive roller via a worm drive and a helical
gear.
Electr on ics Mod u le
Most of the electronics used by the printer are located in the electronics
module. This enables the electronics to be repaired by simple removing the
whole module, and replacing it with a new one. A new electronics module
consists of the following:
D Main PCA
D Power Supply Unit (PSU)
D Cooling Fan
Components which are not supplied with a new electronics module but are
located inside the module are:
D Hard Disk Drive (On ly for HP Design J et 2500CP /3500CP pr in ter )
D MIO - Supports LAN connectivity
D Flash SIMMs (firmware)
