Troubleshooting  
Which Firmware relates to which Ink system?  
A.01.XX Ć This firmware revision means that the Printer can only use Imaging Inks.  
A.02.XX Ć This firmware revision means that the Printer can use both the Imaging Inks and  
the new UV Durable Inks.  
UsetheLatest Firmware/ PostScript Revision  
Always check which firmware revision the printer is using (Utilities / Statistics / Code Rev)  
and ifnecessary, update it. Also check the PostScript revision (Utilities / Statistics / PostScript  
Rev) and ifnecessary, update it.  
Install theFirmwareSIMM and PostScript SIMM in thecorrect slots  
Remember that the Firmware SIMM (including the firmware code for the imaging and UV  
Durable Inks) must installed in the first slot from the left. The PostScript SIMM must be  
installed in the second slot from the left.  
Perform a Service Test on the Failed Component/Assembly  
Always perform a Service Test on the component/assembly that you are about to replace, just  
to make sure that is the component/assembly that has failed. If thetest on that  
component/assembly passes, do NOT replace it.  
Solving ImageQuality Problems  
Whenever an Image Quality problem appears, print the Image Quality Print to help diagnose the  
problem. The Image Quality Print will help you differentiate between possible IDS / Printer /  
media errors and other problems such as incorrect frontĆpanel selection, driver or RIP  
configuration or mechanical problems. For information on solving Image Quality problems '  
Users Guide.  
Line Sensor has Problems Detecting Media  
Clean the driveĆroller. Replace the lens cover ' Users Guide, Chapter 10 (Lens Maintenance).  
Perform the Line Sensor calibration. Reinstall or, if necessary, replace the Line Sensor.  
Carriageis Noisy  
Clean and apply lubricant to the Carriage slider rods. Perform Carriage Axis Test.  
Service Station is Noisy  
Clean and apply lubricant to the Service Station slider rod. Perform Service Station Test.  
Printer continuously rejects Printheads  
Clean Printhead and Carriage flex contacts. Remove all Printheads from the Carriage and try  
installing just the rejected Printhead. Ifthe Printhead is still rejected then replace the  
Printhead with a new one. Ifthe new Printhead is not rejected then check, one by one, ifthe  
other Printheads are also rejected. Perform the Printhead Continuity Test. Perform the  
Electronics Test. Replace the Trailing Cable. Replace the Carriage Assembly.  
Bail Assembly does not lower all the way  
Check that there are no obstructions in the way ofthe Bail Assembly. Perform the Bail Test.  
Cover Sensors aren't Working  
Check if the faulty sensor is installed correctly. Check if the cable for the faulty sensor is  
connected correctly. Replace the faulty Sensor.

Media continuously crashes  
Check if the media loaded is HP approved. If the media is not HP approved, advise the  
customer to use HP media and check to see if the problem is now solved. Perform the Refill  
Calibration and try to load the media again. Replace the Overdrive Assembly. Remove the  
Drive Roller and install in the correct position.  
Switch Power Off / Check Printhead Path" message appears when the Printer is  
about to cut or is cutting?  
Check the media path and clear it if necessary. Perform the Cutter Test. Replace the Cutter  
Assembly. Replace the Overdrive Assembly.  
Lens Maintenance" message appears on the FrontĆPanel?  
The lens cover, which is installed on the line sensor, is dirty. Clean the Mark Encoder on the  
Driver Roller. Replace the lens cover ' Users Guide, Chapter 10 (Lens Maintenance).  
Printer does not Power ON  
Check that the power cord is connected correctly. Check that the Flash SIMM is installed  
correctly in the correct slot (the first slot from the left) at the back of the Printer. 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 frontĆpanel display, then  
replace the Electronics Module. 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.  
Printer has problems with Media Loading  
Check that the Media Sensor is installed correctly. Check if the cable for the Media Sensor is  
connected correctly. Check if the Pincharms are down (the Pincharm lever should be up).  
Make sure Line Sensor is installed correctly. If necessary, replace Line Sensor. Replace Media  
Sensor. Perform Electronics Test.

D12. Image Quality  
Purpose Ć Test the image quality attributes ofthe printer.  
Ifafter aligning the Printheads, Bad Printhead Alignment" is displayed Ć Try recovering the  
printheads using the frontĆpanel menu. Check the alignment pattern to check ifany ofthe  
colors are printed badly. Ifa color is printing badly then replace the complete Ink Delivery  
System ofthe color that is bad. Perform the Line Sensor calibration. Replace the lens cover  
'
Users Guide, Chapter 10 (Lens Maintenance). Check ifthe Line Sensor is installed/connected  
correctly. Perform the Line Sensor Test. Perform the Electronics Test.  
Ifthe values ofthe Printheads are between -1.0 and +1.0 for any of the Printheads then  
the test has passed.  
Ifthe values ofthe Printheads are NOT between -1.0 and +1.0 for any of the Printheads  
then the test has failed Ć Perform the Printhead Alignment Calibration. Perform the Line  
Sensor calibration. Replace the lens cover ' Users Guide, Chapter 10 (Lens Maintenance).  
Perform the Electronics test. Check if the Media used is suitable for the printer. Check if the  
Line Sensor is installed/connected correctly. Replace the Line Sensor.  
D13. Printhead ID  
Purpose Ć Check the default settings of the printheads. ID 200000 is for inks for imaging and  
ID 220000 is for UV Durable Inks.  
This test is for information only which might be requested in the event of an escalation.  
D14. Printhead Continuity  
Purpose Ć Check the primitives and address maps ofthe printheads.  
The values shown for all Printheads should be 0. If a different value is shown then that  
Printhead has a continuity problem. Try the following:  
1 DO NOT replace any parts. This will cause extra problems. Remove the  
Printheads and clean the flex contacts on the Carriage and the Printheads. Reseat the  
Printheads and try the test again.  
2 Even if one of the Printheads failed the Printhead Continuity test, you must remove all the  
Printheads from the Carriage and try installing them one by one. Before installing each  
Printhead, check the continuity of all four Printheads. The frontĆpanel should display a  
3ffff / 3fff result for each Printhead that is not inserted and the original values (the value  
that was displayed before the Printhead was removed) for the Printheads when they are  
inserted. If you get a value that is different than 3ffff / 3fff when the Printheads are  
removed then you must perform step 1 again. If you get the same results after repeating  
step 1, then the carriage is damaged. Replace the Carriage Assembly. When you insert each  
Printhead, the values should change only for that Printhead. If the values of other  
Printheads also change, then the problem is the Printhead itself and not the actual Printer.  
In this case you must replace the complete Ink Delivery System of the color that failed.  
3 If you continue getting the original value (the value that was displayed before the  
Printhead was first removed) then you must replace the complete Ink Delivery System of  
the color that failed and try the test again.  
4 As a last resort, replace Carriage Assembly.
