Chapter 1 Theory of operation

ENWW

Formatter-control system
The formatter is responsible for the following procedures:
●

Controlling sleep mode

●

Receiving and processing print data from the various product interfaces

●

Monitoring control-panel functions and relaying product-status information (through the control panel
and the network or bidirectional interface)

●

Developing and coordinating data placement and timing with the DC controller PCA

●

Storing font information

●

Communicating with the host computer through the network or the bidirectional interface

The formatter receives a print job from the network or bidirectional interface and separates it into image
information and instructions that control the printing process. The DC controller PCA synchronizes the imageformation system with the paper-input and -output systems, and then signals the formatter to send the
print-image data.
The formatter also provides the electrical interface and mounting locations for an additional DIMM.

Sleep mode
NOTE: In the General Settings menu (a submenu of the Administration menu), this item is called Energy
Settings.
This feature conserves power after the product has been idle for an adjustable period of time. When the
product is in Sleep Mode, the control-panel backlight is turned off, but the product retains all settings,
downloaded fonts, and macros. The default setting is for Sleep Mode to be enabled. The product enters Sleep
Mode after 60 seconds of idle time.
The product exits Sleep Mode and enters the warm-up cycle when any of the following events occur:
●

A print job, valid data, or a PML or PJL command is received

●

A control-panel button is pressed

●

A cover is opened

●

A paper tray is opened

●

The engine-test switch is pressed

NOTE: Product error messages override the Sleep message. The product enters Sleep Mode at the
appropriate time, but the error message continues to appear.

Input/output
The product has three I/O interfaces:

CPU
The formatter incorporates a 800 MHz Vermillion processor.

Memory
The random access memory (RAM) on the formatter printed circuit assembly (PCA) contains the page, I/O
buffers, and the font storage area. It stores printing and font information received from the host system, and
can also serve to temporarily store a full page of print-image data before the data is sent to the print engine.
NOTE: If the product encounters a problem when managing available memory, a clearable warning
message appears on the control-panel display.

Firmware
The firmware is contained in the internal solid state drive (SSD) or hard disk (HD). A remote firmware upgrade
process is used to overwrite and upgrade the firmware on the SSD or HD.

Nonvolatile memory
The product uses nonvolatile memory (NVRAM) to store device and user configuration settings. The contents
of NVRAM are retained when the product is turned off or disconnected.

PJL overview
The printer job language (PJL) is an integral part of configuration, in addition to the standard printer
command language (PCL). With standard cabling, the product can use PJL to perform a variety of functions.
●

Two-way communication with the host computer through a network connection or a USB connection.
The product can inform the host about the control-panel settings which can be changed from the host.

●

Dynamic I/O switching. The product uses this switching to be configured with a host on each I/O. The
product can receive data from more than one I/O simultaneously, until the I/O buffer is full. This can
occur even when the product is offline.

●

Context-sensitive switching. The product can automatically recognize the personality (PS or PCL) of
each job and configure itself to serve that personality.

●

Isolation of print environment settings from one print job to the next. For example, if a print job is sent
to the product in landscape mode, the subsequent print jobs print in landscape mode only if they are
formatted for landscape printing.

PML
The printer management language (PML) allows remote configuration and status read-back through the I/O
ports.

Control panel
The formatter sends and receives product status and command data to and from the control-panel PCA.

Fuser-control circuit
The fuser-control circuit monitors and controls the temperature in the fuser. The product uses on-demand
fusing. The fuser-control circuit consists of the following major components:
●

Fuser main heater (H1): Heats the center of the fuser sleeve

●

Fuser sub heater (H2): Heats the ends of the fuser sleeve

●

Thermistors; detect the fuser temperature (contact type)

●

◦

Sleeve thermistor (TH1): Detects the temperature at the center of the fuser sleeve

◦

Main thermistor (TH2): Detects the temperature at the center of the fuser heater

◦

Sub thermistor 1 (TH3): Detects the temperature at the end of the fuser heater nearest the front
of the product

◦

Sub thermistor 2 (TH4): Detects the temperature at the end of the fuser heater nearest the rear of
the product

Fuser temperature control
The fuser temperature control maintains the fuser heater at its targeted temperature.
The fuser main heater and sub heater control the temperature of the fuser sleeve.
The DC controller monitors the main thermistor and the sleeve thermistor. The DC controller controls the
FUSER MAIN HEATER CONTROL (FSRD1) and the FUSER SUB-HEATER CONTROL (FSRD2) signals according to
the detected temperature. The fuser-heater control circuit controls the fuser heater depending on the signal
so that the heater remains at the targeted temperature.

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

DC controller
◦

●

Fuser-heater safety circuit
◦

●

16

The DC controller interrupts power supply to the fuser heater when it detects an abnormal
temperature of the fuser heater.

The fuser heater safety circuit interrupts power supply to the fuser heater when the detected
temperature of the main and sub thermistors is abnormal.

Thermal fuse
◦

The thermal fuse is broken to interrupt power supply to the fuser heater when the thermoswitch
detects an abnormal temperature of the fuser heater.

◦

The current detection circuit detects the current value flowing in the fuser heater control circuit.
The DC controller deactivates the FUSER HEATER CONTROL signal and releases the relay to
interrupt power supply to the fuser heater when it detects a specified current value or higher by
the CURRENT DETECTION (FUR_CURRMS) signal.

Chapter 1 Theory of operation

ENWW

Fuser failure detection
The DC controller determines a fuser unit failure, deactivates the FUSER HEATER CONTROL signal, releases
the relay to interrupt power supply to the fuser heater, and then notifies the formatter of a failure state
when it encounters the following conditions:

ENWW

●

Abnormal temperature rise: The sleeve thermistor does not rise at a specified temperature within a
specified period after the fuser heater control starts.

●

Abnormally low temperature: The thermistors are at a specified temperature or lower during a print
operation or other fuser heating cycle.

●

Abnormally high temperature: The thermistors are at a specified temperature or higher, regardless of
the fuser control status.

●

Drive circuit abnormality: The frequency in the zerocross circuit is out of a specified range when the
product is turned on or is in the standby period.

Overcurrent/overvoltage protection
The low-voltage power supply has a protective circuit against overcurrent and overvoltage to prevent
failures in the power supply circuit. The low-voltage power supply automatically stops supplying the DC
voltage whenever excessive current flows or voltage abnormally increases.
If the dc voltage is not being supplied from the low-voltage power supply, the protective function may be
running. In this case, turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord. Do not turn the power switch on
until the root cause is found.
The LVPS has two fuses on the PCA. The LVPS 24V output is interrupted to the fuser and the high-voltage
power supply if the either of the interlock switches (SW3 and SW4) is in the off position (door open).
WARNING! The product power switch only interrupts dc voltage from the LVPS. The AC voltage is present in
the product when the power cord is plugged into a power receptacle and the power switch is in the off
position. You must unplug the product power cord before servicing the product.
WARNING! If you believe the overcurrent or overvoltage protection circuits have been activated, do not
plug in the product power cord or turn on the product power until the cause of the failure is found and
corrected.
In addition, fuses in the low-voltage power supply protect against overcurrent. If overcurrent flows into the
AC line, the fuses melt and cut off the power distribution.

drum onto the ITB.

●

Secondary transfer roller: The secondary transfer bias is used to transfer the toner image from the ITB
onto the paper. The reversed bias is applied to transfer residual toner on the secondary transfer roller
back to the ITB. The residual toner on the ITB is deposited in the toner collection unit.

During the latent-image formation stage, the laser scanner forms invisible images on the photosensitive
drums in the print cartridges.
Pre-exposure
Step 1: Light from the pre-exposure LED strikes the photosensitive drum surface. This eliminates the
residual electrical charges on the drum surface.

Primary charging
Step 2: DC and AC biases are applied to the primary charging roller, which transfers a uniform negative
potential to the photosensitive drum.

Step 4: In the print cartridge, toner acquires a negative charge from the friction that occurs when the
developing roller rotates against the developing blade. The developing bias is applied to the developing
roller to create a difference in the electric potential of the drum. When the negatively charged toner comes in
contact with the photosensitive drum, it adheres to the latent image because the drum surface has a higher
potential.

Primary transfer
Step 5: The toner on the photosensitive drum is transferred to the intermediate transfer belt (ITB). The ITB is
given a positive charge by the bias of the primary transfer roller. The negatively charged toner on the drum
surface is transferred onto the ITB. All four color planes are transferred onto the ITB in this step.

Memory tag
The memory tag is a non-volatile memory chip in the cartridge that stores information about usage for the
cartridge. The product reads and writes the data in the memory tag. The DC controller determines a 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 the presence of the cartridges by monitoring the cartridge e-label and ground
circuit. When the DC controller determines a cartridge absence, it notifies the formatter.

Toner level detection
The DC controller detects the remaining toner level in a cartridge by the optical detection method. The DC
controller notifies the formatter of the remaining toner level.

Cartridge life detection
The DC controller detects the cartridge life by monitoring the total operational wear limit or remaining toner
level of the cartridge. The DC controller determines a cartridge end of life and notifies the formatter when the
operational wear limit of the cartridge reaches a specified amount or the cartridge runs out of toner.

Developing unit engagement and disengagement control
The developing unit engagement and disengagement control engages the developing unit with the
photosensitive drum or disengages the developing unit from the drum depending on the print mode: fullcolor mode or black-only mode. The developing unit is engaged only when required, preventing a
deterioration of the drums and maximizing their life.
The developing disengagement motor rotates the developing disengagement cam. As the cam rotates, the
developing unit engages with or separates from the photosensitive drum.
When the product is turned on and when each print job is completed, all four of the developing units
disengage from the photosensitive drums. When the print mode is in full-color mode, all of the developing
units engage with the drums. When the print mode is in black-only mode, only black developing unit engages
with the drum.

The primary transfer roller engagement and disengagement control engages the ITB with the photosensitive
drum, or disengages the ITB from the drum, depending on the requirements of the print job.

38

Chapter 1 Theory of operation

ENWW

●

All rollers disengaged: The ITB disengages from all four photosensitive drums. This is the state during
a standby period, and also is the home position for the primary transfer rollers.

●

All rollers engaged: The ITB engages with all the four photosensitive drums. This is the state for fullcolor jobs.

●

Only black roller engaged: The ITB engages with only the black photosensitive drum. This is the state
for the black-only print jobs.

The operational sequence of the primary transfer roller engagement and disengagement control is as
follows:
1.

The fuser motor drives the primary transfer disengagement solenoid to rotate the primary transfer
disengagement cam.

2.

As the cam rotates, the YMC slide plate or the Bk slide plate moves to right or left. This causes the
primary transfer roller to move up or down.

3.

The ITB engages with or disengages from the photosensitive drum depending on the movement of the
primary transfer rollers.

The DC controller determines that an abnormal primary transfer roller disengagement error has occurred and
notifies the formatter. This error happens when the DC controller does not detect a specified signal from the
primary transfer disengagement switch, even though the primary transfer disengagement solenoid is driven.

ITB unit presence detection
The DC controller detects the ITB unit presence by monitoring the primary transfer disengagement switch.
The DC controller drives the primary transfer disengagement solenoid for specified times during the initial
rotation period of the following:
●

The product is turned on

●

The product exits Sleep mode

●

The door is closed

The DC controller determines an ITB unit absence and notifies the formatter when it does not detect a
specified signal from the primary transfer disengagement switch.

ITB cleaning mechanism
The cleaning blade in the ITB cleaner scrapes the residual toner off the ITB surface. The ITB motor drives the
residual toner feed screw and the screw deposits the residual toner in the toner collection unit.
The DC controller detects whether the toner collection unit is full by monitoring the ITB residual toner full
sensor. When the DC controller determines the toner collection unit is full, it notifies the formatter. The DC

The DC controller forms a pattern of toner on the surface of the ITB, and measures a misaligned length with
the registration density sensor and the registration density belt-perimeter sensor. Accordingly, the formatter
calibrates the color-misregistration.
Figure 1-29 Color-misregistration control

Registration density sensor

Pattern of toner

The DC controller commands the formatter to perform the color-misregistration control whenever one of the
following occurs:
●

The product is turned on or the door is closed, after replacing any one of the cartridges

●

The product is turned on or the door is closed, after replacing the ITB unit or the laser scanner unit

●

A specified number of pages have been printed

●

Continuous printing for a specified period of time

●

Cold starting of the fuser when the product is turned on

If data from the registration density or registration density belt-perimeter sensor is out of a specified range
during the cartridge-presence detection or when starting the color-misregistration control, the DC controller
determines an abnormal sensor and notifies the formatter.

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 highvoltage 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.

Image stabilization control
The image stabilization control reduces the fluctuations in image density caused by environmental changes
or deterioration of the photosensitive drums or toner. The two kinds of image stabilization controls are
image density control (DMAX) and image halftone control (DHALF).
Image density control (DMAX)
The image density control calibrates each high-voltage bias to stabilize the image density variation caused
by the deterioration of the photosensitive drum or toner. The DC controller commands the formatter to
control the image density under the following conditions:
●

The detected temperature of the fuser is a specified degree or lower when the product is turned on

●

The product is turned on, or the door is closed, and also whenever a specified number of pages have
been printed after replacing any one of the cartridges

●

The product is turned, on or the door is closed, after replacing the ITB unit or the laser scanner unit

●

A specified number of pages have been printed

●

After a specified period of time from the previous image density control

●

The environment is changed for a specified condition after the previous image density control

Image halftone control (DHALF)
The image halftone control is performed by the formatter to calibrate the halftone. The DC controller
measures the halftone pattern according to a command from the formatter. Accordingly, the formatter
calibrates the halftone. The DC controller controls the image halftone under the following conditions:

42

●

The image density control is completed

●

Pickup and feed block
The pickup-and-feed block picks one sheet of paper from the Tray 2 cassette or the MP tray and feeds it into
the fuser.

Tray 2 cassette pickup
The operational sequence of the Tray 2 cassette pickup is as follows:

46

1.

The product is turned on or the Tray 2 cassette is inserted.

2.

The lift-up operation and the lifting plate spring move up the lifting plate to the position where the
paper can be picked up.

3.

The DC controller rotates the pickup motor when it receives a print command from the formatter.

Chapter 1 Theory of operation

ENWW

4.

The Tray 2 cassette (CST) feed roller rotates.

5.

The Tray 2 cassette (CST) pickup solenoid is driven at a specified timing.

6.

The Tray 2 cassette (CST) pickup roller rotates and picks up the paper.

7.

The Tray 2 cassette (CST) separation roller removes any multiple-fed sheets.

8.

One sheet of paper is fed into the product.

NOTE: The lift-up operation pushes up the lifting plate to keep the stack surface of paper at the pickup
position.

Tray 2 cassette multiple-feed prevention
The product uses a separation roller method to prevent multiple sheets of print media from entering the
paper path. The Tray 2 cassette separation roller does not have its own driving force. Therefore the Tray 2
cassette separation roller follows the rotation of the Tray 2 cassette pickup roller.
During normal feed, when the product picks up one piece of paper, the Tray 2 cassette separation roller is
driven by the Tray 2 cassette pickup roller through one sheet of paper. Thus the separation roller rotates in
the paper feed direction.
During multiple-feed, when the product picks up more than one piece of paper, the low friction force between
the sheets weakens the driving force from the Tray 2 cassette pickup roller. In addition, some braking force is

ENWW

Pickup, feed, and delivery system

47

always applied to the Tray 2 cassette separation roller, so the weak rotational force of the pickup roller is not
enough to rotate the separation roller. Therefore, the separation roller holds back any multiple-fed sheets,
and one sheet of paper is fed into the product.

Tray 1 (MP tray) last-paper detection
The product detects whether the print media on the MP tray is the last sheet during continuous printing to
prevent toner contamination on the photosensitive drums and the ITB.
The product attempts to form the next image before the DC controller detects a media absence because the
paper path between the MP tray media-presence sensor and the registration roller is short. To prevent the
photosensitive drums and the ITB from being contaminated with toner, the last-paper sensor detects the

53

last-paper. The MP tray last-paper detection roller rotates when the last-paper is picked up. The DC
controller notifies the formatter of a media absence when it detects the last-paper by the last-paper sensor.

Paper feed
After the paper pickup operation, the paper picked up from either the Tray 2 cassette or MP tray is then fed to
the fixing-and-delivery block.

54

1.

The registration shutter corrects the skew-feeding of the paper that is picked up from the Tray 2
cassette or MP tray.

2.

When the TOP sensor detects the leading edge of paper, the DC controller controls the rotational speed
of the pickup motor to align with the leading edge of toner image on the ITB.

3.

The toner image on the ITB is transferred onto the paper, and the paper is fed to the fusing-anddelivery block.

Media detection
The product automatically selects an optimal print mode for a print-media by monitoring the media sensors
on the paper path.
Media detection sensor types
●

Reflected light type (detects the glossiness of paper)

●

Transmitted light type (detects the thickness of paper)

The DC controller detects the type of print-media by the reflected light and the transmitted light, and
switches the print modes accordingly. The DC controller identifies the following paper type:
●

Plain paper

●

Light paper

●

Heavy paper

●

Glossy paper

●

Glossy film

●

Overhead transparency (OHT)

The DC controller determines a media mismatch error and notifies the formatter under the following
conditions:
●

●

Simplex printing
◦

The specified print mode is OHT, but the media sensor detects media other than an overhead
transparency.

◦

The specified print mode is something other than OHT, but the media sensor detects an overhead
transparency.

Duplex printing
◦

The specified print mode is for duplex-printable-print mode, but the media sensor detects an
overhead transparency. For more information about duplex-printable mode, see Duplex block
(duplex models only) on page 62.

The DC controller flashes the media sensor during the initial rotation period under the following conditions:
●

Product power is turned on

●

The door is closed

The DC controller determines a media sensor abnormality and notifies the formatter when the light intensity
is out of a specified range.

Fusing and delivery block
The fusing-and-delivery block fuses the toner image onto the print media and delivers the printed page to
the output bin.

Loop control
The product controls the loop (slackness) of print media to prevent the defects of print quality and media
feed.
●

If the fuser sleeve rotates slower than the ITB, the paper loop increases and an image defect or paper
crease occurs.

●

If the fuser sleeve rotates faster than the ITB, the paper loop decreases and an image is stretched
because the toner image is not transferred to the paper correctly

Two loop sensors located between the fuser sleeve and the ITB detect the paper loop. Accordingly the DC
controller controls the rotational speed of the fuser motor to keep the loop amount properly.

Removal and replacement strategy
Cautions during removal and replacement
This chapter describes the removal and replacement of field-replaceable units (FRUs) only.
Replacing FRUs is generally the reverse of removal. Notes are included to provide directions for difficult or
critical replacement procedures.
HP does not support repairing individual subassemblies or troubleshooting to the PCA component level.
Never operate or service the product with the protective cover removed from the laser scanner assembly.
The reflected beam, although invisible, can damage your eyes.
The sheet-metal parts can have sharp edges. Be careful when handling sheet-metal parts.
CAUTION:
Some parts are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Look for the ESD reminder when removing product
parts. Always perform service work at an ESD-protected workstation or mat. If an ESD workstation or mat is
not available, ground yourself by touching the sheet-metal chassis before touching an ESD-sensitive part.
Protect the ESD-sensitive parts by placing them in ESD pouches when they are out of the product.
CAUTION: Do not bend or fold the flat flexible cables (FFCs) during removal or installation.
NOTE: To install a self-tapping screw, first turn it counterclockwise to align it with the existing thread
pattern, and then carefully turn it clockwise to tighten. Do not overtighten. If a self-tapping screw-hole
becomes stripped, repair the screw-hole or replace the affected assembly.
TIP: For clarity, some figures in this chapter show assemblies removed that are not required to be removed
to service the product (for example, the scanner and document feeder assemblies). The procedures in this
manual are correct for your product.

82

Chapter 2 Removal and replacement

ENWW

Required tools
●

#2 Phillips screwdriver with a magnetic tip and a 152-mm (6-in) shaft length
NOTE: For the best fit, use a JIS #2 Phillips screwdriver for the stapler/stacker.

●

Small, flat-blade screwdriver

●

Needle-nose pliers

●

ESD strap (if one is available)

●

Penlight

CAUTION: Always use a Phillips screwdriver (callout 1). Do not use a Pozidriv screwdriver (callout 2) or any
motorized screwdriver. These can damage screws or screw threads.
Figure 2-1 Screwdrivers

Types of screws
WARNING! Make sure that components are replaced with the correct screw type. Using the incorrect screw
(for example, substituting a long screw for the correct shorter screw) can cause damage to the product or
interfere with product operation. Do not intermix screws that are removed from one component with the
screws that are removed from another component.
For a complete list of screw types and part numbers, see the Parts chapter.

Service approach
The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M750 Printer Series uses a field repair strategy. Defective parts are
diagnosed and replaced at the Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) assembly level. Repair normally begins by using
the product internal diagnostics and the following two-step process:
1.

Isolate the problem to the major system (for example, the network or server, or the product).

2.

Troubleshoot the problem by using the procedures in the troubleshooting chapter.

After you locate a faulty part, the product can usually be repaired at the assembly level by replacing FRUs.
Some mechanical assemblies might need to be repaired at the subassembly level. Hewlett-Packard Company
does not support replacement of components on the printed circuit assembles.
The user replaces toner cartridges as they are depleted. Additional instructions about other user-replaceable
parts are provided in this section.

ENWW

Removal and replacement strategy

83

The product tracks the amount of use on the customer-replaceable supplies by keeping a page count. The
product prompts the user to replace certain items when a supply is depleted or a specific number of pages
has been printed.
Swapping toner cartridges between products might cause a misrepresentation of supply life values and is not
recommended.

Before performing service
WARNING! Turn the product off, wait 5 seconds, and then remove the power cord before attempting to
service the product. If this warning is not followed, severe injury and damage to the product can result. The
power must be on for certain functional checks during troubleshooting. However, the power supply should be
disconnected during parts removal.
1.

Remove all paper.

2.

Place the product on an ESD mat (if available). If an ESD workstation or mat is not available, ground
yourself by touching the sheet-metal chassis before touching an ESD-sensitive part.

3.

Remove the toner cartridges.

4.

Remove the toner collection unit (TCU)

5.

Remove the trays.

After performing service
1.

Reinstall the toner cartridges.

2.

Reinstall the trays.

3.

Return all paper to the trays.

4.

Plug in the power cable and turn on the product.

5.

Perform print-quality tests by printing from a host computer, the scanner glass, and the document
feeder.

Parts removal order
If multiple components must be removed to gain access to an assembly, the first step of the removal
procedure lists all of the components that must be removed to gain access to that assembly. Use these lists
to determine which parts must be removed before removing other parts.

ENWW

Removal and replacement procedures
NOTE: The following assemblies are Customer Self Repair (CSR) components. Go to Covers on page 106 or
Main assemblies on page 123 for information about removing service assemblies.

Print cartridges
When a print cartridge approaches the end of its estimated useful life, the control panel displays a message
recommending that you order a replacement. The product can continue to print using the current print
cartridge until the control panel displays a message instructing you to replace the cartridge, unless you have
selected the option to override the message by using the Supply Settings menu.
NOTE: Cartridge life remaining is used to determine if a supply is near or at estimated end of life. Cartridge
life remaining is approximate only, and varies depending on types of documents printed and other factors.
The product uses four colors and has a different print cartridge for each color: black (K), magenta (M), cyan
(C), and yellow (Y).
You can replace a print cartridge when the print quality is no longer acceptable. The control-panel message
also indicates the color of the cartridge that has reached the end of its estimated useful life. Replacement
instructions are provided on the label on the print cartridge.
CAUTION: If toner gets on clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash the clothes in cold water. Hot water
sets toner into fabric.
NOTE: Information about recycling used print cartridges is contained in the print-cartridge box.

product does not pass a step, follow the corresponding troubleshooting suggestions. If a step resolves the
problem, you can stop without performing the other steps on the checklist.
1.

The control-panel display and LEDs may be off if the product is in Sleep Mode. If the device does not
respond to a key press, then it is either not in Sleep Mode or will now come out of Sleep Mode. If no LEDs
are illuminated or the control-panel display does not come on, use the Power-on checks section in the
product service manual to troubleshoot the problem.

2.

Check the cables.

3.

a.

Check the cable connection between the product and the computer or network port. Make sure
that the connection is secure.

b.

Make sure that the cable itself is not faulty by using a different cable, if possible.

c.

Check the network connection.

Ensure that the print media that you are using meets specifications.
●

Ensure your maintenance items don’t need to be replaced. Print a Supplies Status Page to verify
they are not at end of life.

Print a configuration page. If the product is connected to a network, an HP Jetdirect page also prints.
a.

If the pages do not print, check that at least one tray contains print media.

b.

If the page jams in the product, see the jams section.

If the configuration page prints, check the following items.
a.

If the page prints correctly, the product hardware is working. The problem is with the computer
you are using, with the printer driver, or with the program.

b.

If the page does not print correctly, the problem is with the product hardware.

Does the image quality meet the user's requirements? If yes, see step 7. If no, check the following
items:

Verify that you have installed the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M750 Printer Series printer driver. Check
the program to make sure that you are using the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M750 Printer Series
printer driver.

9.

Print a short document from a different program that has worked in the past. If this solution works, the
problem is with the program that you are using. If this solution does not work (the document does not
print) complete these steps:
a.

Try printing the job from another computer that has the product software installed.

b.

If you connected the product to the network, connect the product directly to a computer with a
USB cable. Redirect the product to the correct port, or reinstall the software, and select the new
connection type that you are using.

Troubleshooting process
When the product malfunctions or encounters an unexpected situation, the product control panel alerts you
to the situation. This chapter contains information to help diagnose and solve problems.
●

Use the pretroubleshooting checklist to evaluate the source of the problem and to reduce the number
of steps that are required to fix the problem.

●

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.

Determine the problem source
When the product malfunctions or encounters an unexpected situation, the product control panel alerts you
to the situation. This section contains a pre-troubleshooting checklist to filter out many possible causes of
the problem. A troubleshooting flowchart helps you diagnose the root cause of the problem. The remainder
of this chapter provides steps for correcting problems.

Pre-troubleshooting checklist
The following table includes basic questions to ask the customer to quickly help define the problem.
General topic

Questions

Environment

●

Is the product installed on a solid, level surface (+/- 1°)?

●

Is the power-supply voltage within ± 10 volts of the specified power source?

●

Is the power-supply plug inserted in the product and the outlet (not a power strip)?

●

Is the operating environment within the specified parameters?

●

Is the product exposed to ammonia gas, such as that produced by diazo copiers or
office cleaning materials?
NOTE: Diazo copiers produce ammonia gas as part of the coping processes.
Ammonia gas (from cleaning supplies or a diazo copier) can have an adverse affect
on some product components (for example, the print-cartridge OPC).

Media

268 Chapter 3 Solve problems

●

Is the product exposed to direct sunlight?

●

Does the customer use only supported media?

●

Is the media in good condition (no curls, folds, or distortion)?

●

Is the media stored correctly and within environmental limits?

ENWW

General topic

Questions

Input trays

●

Is the amount of media in the tray within specifications?

●

Is the media correctly placed in the tray?

●

Are the paper guides aligned with the stack?

●

Is the cassette correctly installed in the product?

●

Is each print cartridge installed correctly?

●

Are original HP print cartridges installed?

●

Are the cartridges damaged?

●

Are the ITB and fuser correctly installed?

●

Is the ITB or fuser damaged?

Doors

●

Are the right and front doors closed?

Condensation

●

Does condensation occur following a temperature change (particularly in winter
following cold storage)? If so, wipe affected parts dry or leave the product on for
10 to 20 minutes.

●

Was a print cartridge opened soon after being moved from a cold to a warm room?
If so, allow the print cartridge to sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.

●

Check for and remove any non-HP components (for example, print cartridges or
memory modules) from the product.

●

Check to see whether the hardware or software configuration has changed or the
problem is not associated with any specific software.

●

Remove the product from the network and ensure that the failure is associated
with the product before beginning troubleshooting.

●

For any print-quality issues, calibrate the product. See Calibrate the product.

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

Power-on checks
The basic product functions should start up when the product is plugged 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 power supply, fuser, and formatter cooling fans begin to spin 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-front lower corner. If the fan is operating,
you should feel air being drawn into the product. When these fans are operational, the DC side of the power
supply is functioning correctly.
After the fans are operating, the motor turn on and off (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 motors turn on and off.
If the fans and motors are operating correctly, the next troubleshooting step is to isolate print engine,
formatter, and control panel problems. Perform an engine test (see Engine test button). If the formatter is
damaged, it might interfere with the engine test. If the engine-test page does not print, try removing the
formatter 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 plugged 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 fans run 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 flashing.

NOTE: If the control panel display is blank, but the cooling fans run 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 components. See Engine test button.
Power-on timing (approximate)
Power-on timing from boot sequence to the Ready state might change as the firmware is upgraded.

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 formatterto-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.
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 heartbeat LED is illuminated—by an error condition or normal operation—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. When the product is in Ready mode, see Heartbeat LED, product operational.

Engine diagnostics
This section provides an overview of the engine diagnostics that are available in the HP Color LaserJet
Enterprise M750 Printer Series product. The product contains extensive internal diagnostics that help in
troubleshooting print quality, paper path, noise, component, and timing issues.

276 Chapter 3 Solve problems

ENWW

Defeating interlocks
Different tests can be used to isolate different types of issues. For component or noise isolation, you can run
the diagnostic test when the front and right doors are open. To operate the product with the doors open, the
door switch levers must be depressed to simulate a closed-door position.
WARNING! Be careful when performing printer diagnostics to avoid risk of injury. Only trained service
personnel should open the doors and run the diagnostics with the covers removed. Never touch any of the
power supplies when the printer is plugged in or turned on.

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.
●

After the print job is completed press the Stop button

When the timer trips, the control panel display shows the message Printing stopped To continue, touch
“OK”. Pressing the Home button will print the previously selected job. If you do not want the previous job
to print, press the Stop button first, and then press the Home button .
NOTE: Do not try to perform a print/stop test while the product is calibrating, because you will be required
to power-cycle the product. If a jam message displays on the control panel during testing, activate the door
switch.

Component tests
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 select the Repeat option (at the end of the
menu), the test cycles the component on and off. This process continues for two minutes, and then the test
terminates.
NOTE: The front or side door interlocks must be defeated to run the component tests. Some tests may
require that the ITB and print cartridges be removed. The control panel display prompts you to remove some
or all cartridges during certain tests.

1. Grids

The grids are in inches and millimeters. They are label with letters
and numbers so that defects can be described by position and by
distance between repeats.

2. Color plane registration (CPR) bars

After printing, the box with no extra color in each area on each
page shows how far off the CPR of that color is. Each page has
two process direction areas and three scan direction areas that
are labeled x and y and 1–11. The page should be fed by the long
edge. Each square from the center equals 42 microns.

3. Color ramp patches

Used to detect offset for the OPC or developer in the image drum
or offset in the fuser.

The product automatically reloads
previously stored calibration
values.
Controls the timing of power-on
calibration when the product
wakes up or is turned on.
Wake: Select if you are not using
the feature and want to print jobs
immediately when the product
wakes up or is turned on, before
calibration begins.
No: The product will calibrate
immediately when it wakes up or is
turned on. The product will not
print any jobs until it finishes
calibrating.
Yes: Enables the product that is
asleep to accept print jobs before
it calibrates. It might start
calibrating before it has printed all
the jobs it has received. This option
allows quicker printing when
coming out of sleep mode or when
you turn the product on, but print
quality might be reduced.
NOTE: For the best results, allow
the product to calibrate before
printing. Print jobs performed
before calibration might not be of
the highest quality.

Cooling device
Description
The product is cooling.
Customers may report seeing a Cooling Device message displayed on the product control panel and
experience a noticeable decrease in print speed.
This is typically seen during long, continuous print runs (greater than 1,000 pages) and is more common in
high temperature/high humidity environments. When this message is displayed, the product will print for
several seconds and then pause several seconds before printing again. This will continue until the current job
finishes or the job is canceled.
After the product has completed the job, or the user cancels the current job, the product may require several
minutes to cool sufficiently to continue printing at normal print speeds.
Recommended action
No action is necessary.
This is normal behavior for this product and is done to protect the toner cartridges from overheating.
Advise a customer who is experiencing this condition to allow the product to cool down before beginning to
print again.
The customer can avoid this scenario by ensuring the product is in a location that is within the product's
specifications for temperature and humidity and by avoiding long, continuous printing situations by breaking
down print jobs into smaller sections with some delay in between.

Clear jams
Common causes of jams
The product is jammed.
Cause

Solution

The paper does not meet specifications.

Use only paper that meets HP specifications. See the product user
guide.

A component is installed incorrectly.

Verify that the transfer belt and transfer roller are correctly
installed.

You are using paper that has already passed through a printer or
copier.

Do not use paper that has been previously printed on or copied.

An input tray is loaded incorrectly.

Remove any excess paper from the input tray. Make sure that the
stack is below the maximum stack height mark in the tray.

The paper is skewed.

The input-tray guides are not adjusted correctly. Adjust them so
they hold the stack firmly in place without bending it.

The paper is binding or sticking together.

Remove the paper, flex it, rotate it 180°, or flip it over. Reload the
paper into the input tray.

The paper is removed before it settles into the output bin.

Reset the product, and then resend the print job. Wait until the
page completely settles in the output bin before removing it.

During two-sided printing, you removed the paper before the
second side of the document was printed.

Reset the product and print the document again. Wait until the
page completely settles in the output bin before removing it.

The paper is in poor condition.

Replace the paper.

The internal tray rollers are not picking up the paper.

If the paper is heavier than the heaviest supported weight for the
tray, it might not be picked from the tray.
The rollers are worn. Replace the rollers.

The paper has rough or jagged edges.

Replace the paper.

The paper is perforated or embossed.

Perforated or embossed paper does not separate easily. Feed
single sheets from Tray 1.

Paper was not stored correctly.

Replace the paper in the trays. Paper should be stored in the
original packaging in a controlled environment.

Not all product packing material was removed.

Verify that the packing tape, cardboard, and plastic shipping locks
have been removed from the product.

Solve image-quality problems
Occasionally, you might encounter problems with print quality. The information in the following sections
helps you identify and resolve these issues.

Print quality examples
Some print quality problems arise from low or very low cartridges or other supplies. The solution is to replace
the low or very low supplies.
Some print quality problems arise from use of inappropriate paper.
●

Use paper that meets HP paper specifications.

●

The surface of the paper is too rough. Use paper that meets HP paper specifications.

●

The printer driver setting or paper tray setting might be incorrect. Be sure that you have configured the
paper tray at the product control panel and have also selected the correct driver setting for the paper
that you are using.

●

The print mode might be set incorrectly, or the paper might not meet recommended specifications.

●

The transparencies you are using are not designed for proper toner adhesion. Use only transparencies
designed for HP Color LaserJet products.

●

The moisture content of the paper is uneven, too high, or too low. Use paper from a different source or
from an unopened ream of paper.

●

Some areas of the paper reject toner. Use paper from a different source or from an unopened ream of
paper.

●

The letterhead you are using is printed on rough paper. Use a smoother, xerographic paper. If this
solves your problem, consult with the printer of your letterhead to verify that the paper used meets the
specifications for this product.

●

Several optimize print modes can be used to address print quality issues. See the print modes section of
this manual.

If you are having problems with light streaks in an image, use the Administration menu to print the supplies
status page. If none of the cartridges has reached its estimated end of life, remove the cartridges from the

How to use the parts lists and diagrams
The figures in this chapter show the major subassemblies in the product and their component parts. A parts
list table follows each exploded view assembly diagram. Each table lists the item number, the associated
part number, and the description of each part. If a part is not listed in the table, then it is not a field
replacement unit (FRU).
CAUTION: Be sure to order the correct part. When looking for part numbers for electrical components, pay
careful attention to the voltage that is listed in the description column. Doing so will ensure that the part
number selected is for the correct model.
NOTE: In this manual, the abbreviation “PCA” stands for “printed circuit-board assembly.” Components
described as a PCA might consist of a single circuit board or a circuit board plus other parts, such as cables
and sensors.

Data stored on the toner cartridge
The HP toner cartridges used with this product contain a memory chip that assists in the operation of the
product.
In addition, this memory chip collects a limited set of information about the usage of the product, which
might include the following: the date when the toner cartridge was first installed, the date when the toner
cartridge was last used, the number of pages printed using the toner cartridge, the page coverage, the
printing modes used, any printing errors that might have occurred, and the product model. This information
helps HP design future products to meet our customers' printing needs.
The data collected from the toner cartridge memory chip does not contain information that can be used to
identify a customer or user of the toner cartridge or their product.
HP collects a sampling of the memory chips from toner cartridges returned to HP's free return and recycling
program (HP Planet Partners: www.hp.com/recycle). The memory chips from this sampling are read and
studied in order to improve future HP products. HP partners who assist in recycling this toner cartridge might
have access to this data, as well.
Any third party possessing the toner cartridge might have access to the anonymous information on the

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.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
NOTE: Any changes or modifications to the printer that are not expressly approved by HP could void the
user’s authority to operate this equipment.

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 (O3).

Power consumption
Power usage drops significantly while in Ready or Sleep mode 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 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.

HP LaserJet print supplies
It’s easy to return and recycle your HP LaserJet toner cartridges after use—free of charge—with HP Planet
Partners. Multilingual program information and instructions are included in every new HP LaserJet toner
cartridge and supplies package. You help reduce the toll on the environment further when you return
multiple cartridges together rather than separately.
