Manage Supplies Replace Supplies Sets the product behavior for when a supply item is low.
The product displays an "Order supplies" message
when a supply item is running low and a "Replace
supplies" message when a supply item has reached its
estimated end of life. To ensure optimal print quality,
HP recommends replacing a supply item when the
"Replace supplies" message is displayed. The supply
does not have to be replaced at this point unless the
print quality is no longer acceptable. Printing beyond
this point is possible using Override at out 1 or Override
at out 2. The Override options allow the product to
continue using a supply item that has reached its
estimated end of life.
Stop at low Choose Stop at low to stop printing when a supply
reaches a low condition.
Stop at out (default) Choose Stop at out to stop printing when the estimated
end of life has been reached for a supply. Printing
beyond this point is possible using Override at out 1 or
Override at out 2. The supply does not need to be
replaced now unless the print quality is no longer
acceptable.

Menu item Sub-menu item Values Description
Override at out 1
Override at out 2
Choose Override at out 1 to allow the product to
continue printing when supply items, other than the
toner collection unit, have reached the end of their
estimated life. Using this option will eventually result in
unacceptable print quality. Consider having a
replacement cartridge available for when the print
quality becomes unacceptable.
Choose Override at out 2 to allow the product to
continue printing when any color supply is past the end
of its estimated capacity, including the toner collection
unit. This option is not recommended because of the
risk of overfilling the toner collection unit, which could
result in the need to service the product.
Information about the remaining toner is not available
when printing in Override mode.
Once an HP supply has reached the end of its
estimated life, HP's Premium Protection Warranty on
that supply has ended. For Warranty information, see
Print cartridge limited warranty statement
on page 571.
The Override options can be enabled or disabled at any
time, and they do not have to be re-enabled for each
supply item. The product automatically continues
printing when a supply item reaches the end of its
estimated life. The message “Replace supply Override
in use” displays on the control panel while a supply is
used in Override mode. When the supply item is
replaced with a new supply, Override is de-activated
until another supply item reaches the end of its
estimated life.

The product assumes that the second and all subsequent pages are of the same media type as
the first page.
This is the fastest mode and is useful for high-volume printing in Normal mode.
For more information about setting these options, see Print Quality menu on page 46.
Select the paper by source, type, or size
In the Microsoft Windows operating system, three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull media
when you send a print job. Source, Type, and Size settings appear in the Page Setup, Print, or Print
Properties dialog boxes in most software programs. Unless you change these settings, the product
automatically selects a tray using the default settings.
Source
To print by Source select a specific tray for the product to pull from. If you select a tray that is configured
for a type or size that does not match your print job, the product prompts you to load the tray with the
type or size of print media for your print job before printing it. When you load the tray, the product begins
printing.
Type and Size
Printing by Type or Size means that you want the product to pull from the tray that is loaded with the
correct type and size of media. Selecting media by type rather than source is similar to locking out trays
and helps protect special media from accidental use. For example, if a tray is configured for letterhead
and you select plain paper, the product will not pull the letterhead from that tray. Instead, it will pull from
a tray that has plain paper loaded and is configured for plain paper on the product control panel. Selecting
media by Type and Size results in significantly better print quality for heavy paper, glossy paper, and
transparencies. Using the wrong setting might result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by Type
for special print media, such as labels or transparencies. Print by Size for envelopes, if possible.
To print by Type or Size, select the Type or Size from the Page Setup dialog box, the Print dialog
box, or the Print Properties dialog box, depending on the software program.
If you often print on a certain type or size of media, configure a tray for that type or size. Then,
when you select that type or size as you print a job, the product automatically pulls media from the
tray that is configured for that type or size.

HP Encrypted High Performance Hard Disks
This product supports an optional encrypted hard disk that you can install in the EIO accessory slot.
This hard disk provides hardware-based encryption so you can securely store sensitive print, copy, and
scan data without impacting product performance. This hard disk uses the latest Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) and has versatile time-saving features and robust functionality.
For information about ordering these accessories see Part numbers on page 511.
Secure Disk Erase
To protect deleted data from unauthorized access on the product hard drive, use the Secure Disk Erase
feature in the HP Web Jetadmin software. This feature can securely erase print jobs from the hard
drive.
Secure Disk Erase offers the following levels of disk security:
Non-Secure Fast Erase. This is a simple file-table erase function. Access to the file is removed,
but actual data is retained on the disk until it is overwritten by subsequent data-storage operations.
This is the fastest mode. Non-Secure Fast Erase is the default erase mode.
Secure Fast Erase. Access to the file is removed, and the data is overwritten with a fixed identical
character pattern. This is slower than Non-Secure Fast Erase, but all data is overwritten. Secure
Fast Erase meets the U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22.M requirements for the clearing of disk
media.
Secure Sanitizing Erase. This level is similar to the Secure Fast Erase mode. In addition, data is
repetitively overwritten by using an algorithm that prevents any residual data persistence. This
mode will impact performance. Secure Sanitizing Erase meets the U.S. Department of Defense
5220-22.M requirements for the sanitization of disk media.
Data affected
Data affected (covered) by the Secure Disk Erase feature includes temporary files that are created
during the print process, stored jobs, proof and hold jobs, disk-based fonts, disk-based macros (forms),
address books, and HP and third-party applications.
90 Chapter 4 Manage and maintain ENWW
NOTE: Stored jobs will be securely overwritten only when they have been deleted through the
Retrieve Job menu on the product after the appropriate erase mode has been set.
This feature will not impact data that is stored on flash-based product non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) that
is used to store default settings, page counts, and similar data. This feature does not affect data that is
stored on a system RAM disk (if one is used). This feature does not impact data that is stored on the
flash-based system boot RAM.
Changing the Secure Disk Erase mode does not overwrite previous data on the disk, nor does it
immediately perform a full-disk sanitization. Changing the Secure Disk Erase mode changes how the
product cleans up temporary data for jobs after the erase mode has been changed.
Additional Information
For additional information about the HP Secure Disk Erase feature, see the HP support flyer or go to
www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin.
Job storage
To securely print a private job, use the personal job feature. The job can only be printed when the correct
PIN is entered at the control panel.
DSS authentication
Optional Digital Sending Software (DSS) for the product is available for purchase separately. The
software provides an advanced sending program that contains an authentication process. This process
requires users to type a user identification and a password before they can use any of the DSS features
that require authentication.
Lock the control-panel menus
To prevent someone from changing the product configuration, you can lock the control-panel menus.
This prevents unauthorized users from changing the configuration settings such as the SMTP server.
You can use HP Web Jetadmin to lock the control-panel menus on several products simultaneously.
Browse to www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin to access white papers discussing security features, such as
control-panel lock, that allow you to secure the product against unwanted access.

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 Replace Supplies menu. For
more information about the Replace Supplies menu, see Management menu on page 28.
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 control panel displays a Replace <color> Cartridge
message. The control panel display also indicates the color of the cartridge that has reached the end
94 Chapter 4 Manage and maintain ENWW
of its estimated useful life (if a genuine HP cartridge is currently installed). 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.

Low-voltage power supply
The low-voltage power-supply circuit converts the AC power from the wall receptacle into the DC voltage
that the product components use. The product has two low-voltage power-supplies for 110 Volt or 220
Volt input.
Figure 5-5 Low-voltage power-supply circuit
Fuser control
circuit
The low-voltage power supply converts the AC power into three DC voltages, which it then subdivides,
as described in the following table.

3.3VS Stopped during Sleep (powersave)
mode
Overcurrent/overvoltage protection
The low-voltage power supply stops supplying the DC voltage to the product components whenever it
detects excessive current or abnormal voltage from the power source.
Safety
For personal safety, the low-voltage power supply interrupts power to the fuser, the high-voltage power
supply, and the motors when the front door or right door open.
Voltage detection
The printer detects the power supply voltage that is connected to the printer. The DC controller monitors
the input voltage from the power source so it can control the voltage to the fuser.
Sleep (powersave) mode
Sleep mode conserves energy by stopping the power to several components when the product is idle.
If the DC controller detects voltage that is too high when the product is in Sleep mode, it determines
that the low-voltage power supply has failed, and it notifies the formatter.
Low-voltage power supply failure
The DC controller determines a low-voltage power supply failure and notifies the formatter when the
low-voltage power supply does not supply +24 V.

Fuser (fixing) over-temperature protection
To protect the fuser from excessive temperatures, the product has four layers of protective functions. If
one function fails, the subsequent functions should detect the problem.
DC controller: When a thermistor or thermopile detects a temperature above a certain threshold,
the DC controller interrupts power to the specific heater. Following are the thresholds for each
component:
TH1: 230° C (446° F) or higher
TH2: 285° C (545° F) or higher
TH3: 285° C (545° F) or higher
Fuser (fixing)-heater safety circuit: If the DC controller fails to interrupt the power to the heaters
at the prescribed temperatures, the fuser-heater safety circuit deactivates the triac-drive circuit and
releases the relay, which causes the heaters to stop at slightly higher temperature thresholds.
TH2: 290° C (554° F) or higher
TH3: 290° C (554° F) or higher
Current-detection protection circuit: If current flowing in each triac exceeds a specific value, the
current-detection protection circuit deactivates the triac-drive circuit and releases the relay, which
interrupts the power supply to the heaters.
Thermoswitch: If the temperature in the heaters is abnormally high, and the temperature in the
thermoswitches exceeds a specified value, the contact to the thermoswitch breaks. Breaking this
contact deactivates the triac-drive circuit and releases the relay, which interrupts the power supply
to the heaters. Following are the thresholds for each thermoswitch:
TP1: 270° C (518° F) or higher
NOTE: When the thermoswitches reach this temperature, the temperature on the fuser rollers is about
320° C (608° F).
Fuser (fixing)-failure detection
When the DC controller detects any of the following conditions, it determines that the fuser has failed.
The DC controller then interrupts power to the fuser heaters and notifies the formatter.
Abnormally high temperatures: Temperatures are too high for any of the following components,
at any time:
TH1: 230° C (446° F) or higher
TH2: 285° C (545° F) or higher
TH3: 285° C (545° F) or higher
Abnormally low temperatures: Temperatures are too low at any of the following components
after the product has initialized.
TH1: 120° C (248° F) or lower
TP2 or TP3: 100° C (212° F) or lower
Or, the temperature drops in either of the thermopiles (TP1 and TP2) by 30° C (86° F) or more
within a specified length of time.
ENWW Engine-control system 129
Abnormal temperature rise: The DC controller determines an abnormal temperature rise if the
detected temperature of TH1 does not rise 2° C within a specified time period after the fuser (fixing)
motor is turned on, or if the detected temperature of the thermistors does not rise to a specified
temperature for a specified time after the fuser (fixing) motor is turned on.
Thermistor open: The DC controller determines a thermistor open if:
The detected temperature of TH1 is kept at 12° C (53° F) or lower for a specified time after
the fuser (fixing) motor is turned on.
The detected temperature of TH2 is kept at 4° C (39° F) or lower for a specified time.
The detected temperature of TH3 is kept at 4° C (39° F) or lower for a specified time.
Drive-circuit failure: The DC controller determines a drive-circuit failure:
If the detected power supply frequency is out of a specified range when the printer is turned
on or during the standby period
If the current detection circuit detects an out of specified current value
Fuser (fixing) discrepancy: The DC controller determines a fuser type mismatch when it detects
an unexpected fuser (fixing) unit presence signal. The product has two fusers for 110 V or 220 V
input power.
130 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
Laser/scanner system
The laser/scanner system forms the latent electrostatic image on the photosensitive drums according
to the VIDEO signals sent from the formatter. The product has two laser/scanners: one for yellow and
magenta and the other for cyan and black.
The formatter sends the DC controller instructions for the image of the page to be printed. The DC
controller signals the lasers to emit light, and the laser beams pass through lenses and onto the scanner
mirror, which rotates at a constant speed. The mirror reflects the beam onto the photosensitive drum in
the pattern necessary for the image, exposing the surface of the drum so it can receive toner.
Figure 5-8 Laser/scanner system
ENWW Laser/scanner system 131
The DC controller determines that a laser/scanner has failed when any of the following conditions
occurs:
Laser failure: The detected laser intensity does not match a specified value when the product
initializes.
Beam-detect (BD) failure: The BD interval is outside a specified range during printing.
Scanner-motor failure: The scanner motor does not reach a specified rotation speed within a
certain time after it begins rotating.

Image-formation system
The image-formation system creates the printed image on the paper. The system consists of the laser/

Functional block Steps Description
Latent image formation 1. Pre-exposure
2. Primary charging
3. Laser-beam exposure
An invisible latent image forms on the
surface of the photosensitive drums.
Development 4. Development Toner adheres to the electrostatic latent
image on the photosensitive drums.
Transfer 5. Primary transfer
6. Secondary transfer
7. Separation
The toner image transfers to the ITB and
subsequently to the paper.
Fusing 8. Fusing The toner fuses to the paper to make a
permanent image.

Drum cleaning 10. Drum cleaning Residual toner is removed from the
photosensitive drums.
134 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
Step 1: Pre-exposure
Light from the pre-exposure LED strikes the surface of the photosensitive drum to remove any residual
electrical charges from the drum surface.
Figure 5-11 Pre-exposure
Step 2: Primary charging
The primary-charging roller contacts the photosensitive drum and charges the drum with negative
potential.
Figure 5-12 Primary charging
ENWW Image-formation system 135
Step 3: Laser-beam exposure
The laser beam strikes the surface of the photosensitive drum in the areas where the image will form.
The negative charge neutralizes in those areas, which are then ready to accept toner.
Figure 5-13 Laser-beam exposure
Step 4: Development
Toner acquires a negative charge as the developing cylinder contacts the developing blade. Because
the negatively charged surface of the photosensitive drums have been neutralized where they have
been struck by the laser beam, the toner adheres to those areas on the drums. The latent image
becomes visible on the surface of each drum.
Figure 5-14 Development
Step 5: Primary transfer
The positively charged primary-transfer rollers contact the ITB, giving the ITB a positive charge. The
ITB attracts the negatively charged toner from the surface of each photosensitive drum, and the
136 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
complete toner image transfers onto the ITB, beginning with yellow, followed by magenta, cyan, and
black.
Figure 5-15 Primary transfer
Step 6: Secondary transfer
The paper acquires a positive charge from the secondary-transfer roller, and so it attracts the negatively
charged toner from the surface of the ITB. The complete toner image transfers onto the paper.
Figure 5-16 Secondary transfer
ENWW Image-formation system 137
Step 7: Separation
The stiffness of the paper causes it to separate from the ITB as the ITB bends. The static-charge
eliminator removes excess charge from the paper to ensure that the toner fuses correctly.
Figure 5-17 Separation
Step 8: Fusing
To create the permanent image, the paper passes through heated, pressurized rollers to melt the toner
onto the page.
Figure 5-18 Fusing
Fuser sleeve
Fuser heater
138 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
Step 9: ITB cleaning
The cleaning blade scrapes the residual toner off the surface of the ITB. The residual toner feed screw
deposits residual toner in the toner collection box.
Figure 5-19 ITB cleaning
Step 10: Drum cleaning
Inside the print cartridge, the cleaning blade removes residual toner from the surface of the drum to
prepare it for the next image. The waste toner falls into the hopper in the print cartridge.
Figure 5-20 Drum cleaning
Print cartridge
The product has four print cartridges, one for each color. Each print cartridge contains a reservoir of
toner and the following components:
Photosensitive drum
Developing roller
Primary-charging roller
ENWW Image-formation system 139
The DC controller rotates the drum motor to drive the photosensitive drum, developing roller, and the
primary-charging roller.
Figure 5-21 Print-cartridge system
The DC controller rotates the drum motor to drive the photosensitive drum, developing unit, and primary
charging roller.
The memory tag is a non-volatile memory chip that stores information about the usage for the print
cartridge.
140 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
The DC controller notifies the formatter of an error if any of the following conditions exist:
The memory tag fails to either read to or write from the DC controller
The RD sensors detect a missing or incorrectly installed print cartridge.
The accumulated print time reaches a specified time period or the cartridge runs out of toner.
The toner level in any of the print cartridges drops below a certain level
Developing-roller engagement and disengagement
The product can print in full-color mode or in black-only mode. To print in black-only mode, the product
disengages the developing rollers in the cyan, magenta, and yellow print cartridges. This maximizes the
life of the cartridges.

The DC controller rotates the developing disengagement motor and changes the direction of the cam
according to the instructions from the formatter for each print job.
ENWW Image-formation system 141
When the product is turned on and at the end of each print job, all four of the developing rollers disengage
from the photosensitive drums. If the next print job is full-color mode, each of the developing rollers
engage. If the next print job is black-only mode, only the black developing roller engages.
If the DC controller does not detect any output from the developing home-position sensor, it determines
that the developing-disengagement motor has failed.
Intermediate transfer belt (ITB) unit
The ITB unit accepts the toner images from the photosensitive drums and transfers the completed image
to the paper. The ITB unit has these main components:
ITB
ITB drive roller
ITB-driven roller
Primary-transfer rollers
ITB cleaner
The ITB motor drives the ITB drive roller, which rotates the ITB. The motion of the ITB causes the primary
transfer rollers to rotate. The ITB cleaner cleans the ITB surface.
Figure 5-23 ITB unit
YMCK
142 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
Primary-transfer-roller engagement and disengagement
Depending on the requirements of the print job, the primary-transfer rollers engage with the ITB so it
can receive toner from the photosensitive drums.
Table 5-10 Primary-transfer-roller engagement states
All rollers disengaged The home position for the ITB unit
All rollers engaged The state for a full-color print job
Black roller engaged The state for a black-only print job
The primary-transfer-roller disengagement motor rotates or reverses to place the primary-transfer-roller
disengagement cam into one of three positions. The cam causes the transfer-roller slide plate to move
to the right or left. This movement causes the primary-transfer rollers to move up to engage the ITB with
the photosensitive drum or down to disengage it.
If the DC controller does not receive the expected signal from the ITB home-position sensor when the
primary-transfer-roller engages or disengages, but the primary-transfer-roller disengagement motor is
ENWW Image-formation system 143
rotating, the DC controller determines that the primary-transfer-disengagement mechanism has failed,
and notifies the formatter.

ITB cleaning
The cleaning blade in the ITB cleaner scrapes the residual toner off the ITB surface. The drum motor
(M5) drives the residual toner feed screw. The screw feeds the residual toner to the residual toner feed
unit. The residual toner feed motor (M12) drives the residual toner feed screw. The residual toner feed
144 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
screw deposits the residual toner in the toner collection box. The DC control detects whether the toner
collection box is full, using the toner collection-box-full sensor, and then notifies the formatter.
Figure 5-25 ITB cleaning process
Calibration
The product calibrates itself to maintain excellent print quality. Calibration corrects color-misregistration
and color-density variation.
ENWW Image-formation system 145
During calibration, the product places a specific pattern of toner on the surface of the ITB. Sensors at
the end of the ITB read the toner pattern to determine if adjustments are necessary.
Figure 5-26 Toner patterns for calibration
Color-misregistration control
Internal variations in the laser/scanners can cause the toner images to become misaligned. The color-
misregistration control corrects the following problems:
Horizontal scanning start position
Horizontal scanning magnification
Vertical scanning start position
The calibration occurs when any of the following occurs:
A cartridge is replaced
The temperature of the sub thermistor is 50 C (122 F) or lower when the product recovers from
sleep mode after a specific number of pages print.
A specified number of pages have printed.
The formatter sends a command.
The user requests a calibration by using the control-panel menus.
If data from the color-misregistration and image-density sensors is outside a specified range when the
product is turned on or when it is beginning the calibration sequence, the DC controller determines that
these sensors have failed, and it notifies the formatter.
146 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
Image-stabilization control
Environmental changes or deterioration of the photosensitive drums and toner can cause variations in
the image density. The image-stabilization control reduces these fluctuations.
Table 5-11 Image-stabilization controls
Environment change control The DC controller monitors environmental information from internal temperature and
humidity sensors. The DC controller adjusts the high-voltage bias to accommodate
environmental changes. This control occurs under the following circumstances:
The product is turned on.
The print cartridge is replaced.
A change in environmental conditions occurs.
The DC controller notifies the formatter when it encounters a communication error
with the environmental sensor.
Image density control (DMAX) This control corrects variations in image density related to deterioration of the
photosensitive drum or the toner. The DC controller adjusts the high-voltage biases
to correct the problem under the following conditions:
The sub thermistor detects a temperature that is too low when the product is
turned on.
A print cartridge is replaced.
A specified number of pages print after replacing the print cartridge.
A specified number of pages have printed.
The formatter sends a command
The product recovers from sleep mode
After a specific period of the completion of a print operation
The environment is relatively charged.
Image halftone control (DHALF) The formatter performs this control to calibrate the halftone, based on the halftone-
density measurements, under the following conditions:
The formatter sends a command.
DMAX is completed.
The DC controller determines a RD sensor failure and notifies the formatter if it detects an out-of-
specified-data value from the RD sensor when the product is turned on or when the color misregistration
control starts.

ENWW Pickup, feed, and delivery system 151
Cassette pickup
The sequence of steps for the cassette-tray pickup operation is the following:
1. When the product starts or the tray closes, the lifting mechanism lifts the paper stack so it is ready.
2. After receiving a print command from the formatter, the DC controller rotates the pickup motor,
which causes the cassette pickup roller, cassette feed roller, and cassette separation roller to
rotate.
3. The DC controller drives the cassette pickup solenoid, which rotates the cassette pickup cam. As
the pickup cam rotates, the pickup arm moves down, and the cassette pickup roller touches the
surface of the paper stack. The cassette pickup roller then picks up one sheet of paper.
Figure 5-31 Cassette-pickup mechanism
NOTE: The lift-up operation lifts the lifting plate to keep the stack surface of the media at a pickup
position. The lifting spring helps support the lifting plate depending on the media size and amount.
152 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
Cassette-presence detection
The cassette presence sensor is in the lifter drive unit. The sensor detects the cassette-presence sensor
flag and determines whether the cassette is installed correctly.
Figure 5-32 Cassette presence sensor
Cassette lift operation
The DC controller rotates the lifter motor (M7) and moves the lifter rack until the cassette media-stack
surface sensor (SR9) detects it. The lifter lifts, and the lifting plate moves up to the position where the
media can be picked up. The lift operation is performed by monitoring the cassette media-stack-surface
sensor when the printer is turned on, when the cassette is installed, or as needed during a print operation.
If the paper-stack surface sensor does not detect the paper within a specified time after the lifter motor
begins rotating, the DC controller notifies the formatter that the lifter motor has failed.
ENWW Pickup, feed, and delivery system 153
The DC controller lowers the lifting plate when no printing occurs to prevent media damage and pickup
failure. If a print operation does not occur for a specified time, the DC controller reverses the lifter motor
and moves the lifter rack until the cassette media-stack surface sensor stops detecting it.
Figure 5-33 Cassette lift mechanism
154 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
Cassette paper-presence detection
The cassette media-presence sensor detects whether paper is in the cassette.
Figure 5-34 Paper-level-detection mechanism
Multifeed prevention
In the cassette, a separation roller prevents multiple sheets of paper from entering the paper path. The
cassette pickup roller drives the separation roller through a sheet of paper.
The low friction force between the sheets weakens the driving force from the cassette pickup roller.
Because some braking force is applied to the cassette separation roller, 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 media is fed into the printer.

Multipurpose tray pickup
The multipurpose tray paper-presence sensor detects whether paper is in the tray. If no paper is present,
the DC controller notifies the formatter. Printing does not occur until paper is in the tray.
The sequence of steps for the multipurpose tray pickup operation as follows:
1. After receiving a print command from the formatter, the DC controller reverses the pickup motor,
which causes the multipurpose tray separation roller to rotate.
2. The DC controller turns on the multipurpose tray pickup solenoid (SL3), causing the multipurpose
tray pickup roller to rotate.
3. The multipurpose tray separation roller isolates a single sheet of paper in case more than one sheet
was picked. The single sheet of paper feeds into the product.
The MP-tray media-presence sensor (SR21) detects whether the media is present in the MP tray. No
printing occurs if no media is loaded.
Figure 5-36 Multipurpose tray pickup mechanism
156 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
Paper feed
After the pickup operation, the paper feeds through the product and into the fuser.
1. The paper passes through the feed rollers. The registration shutter aligns the paper correctly to
prevent skewed printing.
2. The DC controller detects the leading edge of paper by the Top sensor (SR8) and controls the
rotational speed of the pickup motor to align with the leading edge of image on the ITB.
3. The DC controller detects whether or not the media is overhead transparency, using the OHT
sensor.
4. The toner image on the ITB transfers onto the media, which feeds to the fuser.
Figure 5-37 Paper-feed mechanism
ENWW Pickup, feed, and delivery system 157
Skew-feed prevention
The product can straighten the paper without slowing the feed operation.
1. As the paper enters the paper path, the leading edge strikes the registration shutter, which
straightens the paper. The paper does not pass through the shutter .
2. The feed rollers keep pushing the paper, which creates a force on the leading edge against the
registration shutter.
3. When the force is great enough, the registration shutter opens and the paper passes through.
Figure 5-38 Skew-feed prevention
1

3
OHT detection
The OHT sensor detects overhead transparencies. The OHT sensor is a transmission sensor that uses
an LED. The DC controller determines a media mismatch and notifies the formatter when the media
type differs from the media type detected by the OHT sensor. The DC controller turns the LED in the
158 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
OHT sensor on and off during the wait or initial rotation period. If the intensity of the light does not match
the specified value, the DC controller determines that the OHT sensor has failed.
Fusing and delivery unit
The fusing and delivery unit fuses the toner onto the paper and delivers the printed page into the output
bin. The following controls ensure optimum print quality:
Loop control
Pressure roller pressurization/depressurization control
A sensor detects when the output bin is full, and the DC controller notifies the formatter.
Figure 5-39 Fuser and delivery unit
Fuser/delivery block
Y
M
C
K
Loop control
The loop control monitors the tension of the paper between the second-transfer roller and the fuser.
If the fuser rollers rotate more slowly than the secondary transfer rollers, the paper warp increases
and an image defect or paper crease occurs.
If the fuser rollers rotate faster than the secondary transfer rollers, the paper warp decreases and
the toner image fails to transfer to the paper correctly, causing color misregistration.
ENWW Pickup, feed, and delivery system 159
To prevent these problems, the loop sensors, which are located between the secondary transfer rollers
and the fuser rollers, detect whether the paper is sagging or is too taut. The DC controller adjusts the
speed of the fuser motor.
Figure 5-40 Loop-control mechanism
160 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
Pressure-roller pressurization control
To prevent excessive wear on the pressure roller and help with jam-clearing procedures, the pressure
roller pressurizes only during printing and standby. The DC controller reverses the fuser motor. The
fuser motor rotates the fuser pressure-release cam.

reverses the fuser motor, it notifies the formatter that a fuser pressure-release mechanism failure has
occurred.
NOTE: The fuser remains pressurized if the power is interrupted when the power cord is removed or
the surge protector is turned off, or if the fuser is removed without turning off the product.
ENWW Pickup, feed, and delivery system 161
Duplexing unit
The duplexing unit reverses the paper and feeds it through the paper path to print the second side. The
duplexing unit consists of the following components:
Duplexing-reverse unit: Installed on top of the product
Duplexing-feed unit: Along the right side
The DC controller controls the operational sequence of the duplex block. The DC controller drives each
load, such as motors, solenoid, and clutch, depending on the duplex reverse unit and duplex feed unit
controls.
Figure 5-42 Duplexing unit
162 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
Duplexing reverse and feed control
The duplexing reverse procedure pulls the paper into the duplexing unit after it exits the fuser. The
duplexing feed procedure moves the paper through the duplexer so it can enter the product paper path
to print the second side of the page.
1. After the first side has printed, the duplexing flapper solenoid opens, which creates a paper path
into the duplexing-reverse unit.
2. After the paper has fully entered the duplexing-reverse unit, the duplexing-reverse motor reverses
and directs the paper into the duplexing-feed unit.
3. The duplexing re-pickup motor and duplexing feed motor move the paper into the duplexing re-
pickup unit.
4. To align the paper with the toner image on the ITB, the duplexing re-pickup motor stops and the
paper pauses.
5. The paper re-enters the paper path, and the second side prints.
Duplex pickup operation
The product has the following two duplex-media-feed modes depending on the media sizes:
One-sheet mode: Prints one sheet that is printed on two sides in one duplex print operation
Two-sheet mode: Prints two sheets that are printed on two-sides in one duplex print operation
(maximum paper size is A4)
The formatter specifies the duplex-media-feed mode.

Residual paper jam One of the following sensors detects paper presence during the initialization sequence:
Fuser delivery paper-feed sensor
TOP senosor
Loop sensor 1
Loop sensor 2
Door open jam A door is open while paper is moving through the product.
Duplexing re-pickup jam 1 The duplex re-pickup sensor does not detect the leading edge of the paper within a specified
period after the media reverse operation starts in the duplex reverse unit.
Duplexing re-pickup jam 2 The TOP sensor does not detect the leading edge of the paper within a specified period after
the paper is re-picked.
After a jam, some sheets of paper might remain inside the product. If the DC controller detects residual
paper after a door closes or after the product is turned on, the product automatically clears itself of those
residual sheets.

168 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
Paper-size detection and cassette-presence detection
The paper-feeder cassette media-size switch (SW1) detects the size of paper loaded in the paper-feeder
cassette. The paper-feeder driver determines the media size by monitoring the combination of the
switches.

The paper-feeder cassette media size switch (SW1) detects whether the paper-feeder cassette is
installed correctly. The paper-feeder driver determines if a cassette is absent when all three switches
are turned off. The paper-feeder driver determines a cassette presence when one of the switches is
turned on.
Paper-feeder cassette lift operation
The cassette lift operation keeps the stack surface of paper at a specified height to maintain stable media
feeding. The paper-feeder driver controls the paper-feeder lifter motor (M2) and monitors the paper-
feeder media stack surface sensors (SR1, SR2) to adjust the stack height when the printer is turned on,
when the printer recovers from sleep mode, when the paper-feeder cassette is installed or as needed
during a print operation. The paper feeder has two paper-feeder media-stack surface sensors. The
paper-feeder media stack surface sensor 1 detects the stack height during a print operation. The paper-
feeder media-stack surface sensor 2 detects the stack height when the printer is turned on, when the
170 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
printer recovers from sleep mode and when the paper-feeder cassette is installed. The operational
sequence of the lift operation is as follows:
1. The paper-feeder driver rotates the paper-feeder lifter motor to lift the lifting plate.
2. The paper-feeder driver stops the paper-feeder lifter motor when the paper-feeder media-stack
surface sensor 2 detects the stack surface.
3. The paper-feeder driver rotates the lifter motor again when paper-feeder media stack surface 1
detects that the media surface is lowered during a print operation.
Figure 5-48 Paper-feeder cassette lift
The paper-feeder driver notifies the formatter if either of the paper-feeder media-stack surface sensors
fails to detect the stack surface within a specified period from when a lift-up operation starts.
Paper-feeder presence detection
The paper-feeder cassette media-presence sensor (SR3) detects whether the paper is present in the
paper-feeder cassette.
ENWW Optional paper feeder 171
Paper-feeder multiple feed prevention
The paper-feeder uses a separation roller to prevent multiple sheets of paper from entering the printer.
The separation roller prevents multiple feeds of paper by allowing the paper-feeder separation roller to
rotate in the same direction as the paper-feeder feed roller 1. The paper-feeder separation roller is
equipped with the torque limiter. If multiple sheets of paper are picked up, the torque limiter takes control
of the paper-feeder separation roller, and pushes the extra sheets back to the paper-feeder cassette.
That way, only the top sheet is fed to the printer.

Multiple-feed The low friction force between the sheets weakens the
rotational force from the paper-feeder feed roller 1.
The paper-feeder separation roller rotates by its own rotational
force and removes the extra sheet.
172 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
Paper feeder jam detection
The paper feeder uses the paper-feeder media-feed sensor (SR4) to detect the presence of paper and
to check whether paper has jammed.
Figure 5-50 Jam detection

M
C
K
The paper-feeder driver identifies a jam if the sensor detects paper at a specified timing stored in the
paper-feeder driver. The paper-feeder driver stops printing and notifies the formatter through the DC
controller of the jam. The paper feeder detects the following jams:
Pickup delay jam: The paper-feeder media-feed sensor does not detect the leading edge of media
within a specified period from when the paper-feeder pickup solenoid is turned on.
Pickup stationary jam: The paper-feeder media-feed sensor does not detect the trailing edge of
media within a specified time period from when the sensor detects the leading edge.
ENWW Optional paper feeder 173
Scanning/image capture system system
Optical assembly
The scanner is a carriage-type platen scanner which includes the frame, glass, LED optics, and a
scanner controller board (SCB) attached to the bottom of the assembly. The scanner has a sensor to
detect legal-sized media and a switch to indicate when the ADF is opened.
The ADF and control-panel assembly are attached to the scanner assembly. If the scanner fails, it can
be replaced as a whole unit. The scanner replacement part does not include the ADF, SCB, or control-
panel assembly.
The HP Color LaserJet CM3530 contains an interconnect board (ICB) which has an NVRAM component
that is used to store critical engines values and formatter data. This NVRAM allows for simpler save/
restore process. When a formatter or DC controller is replaced, the critical engine values are copied
from NVRAM on the ICB to the new component.
Automatic document feed system
If the ADF fails, it can be replaced as a whole-unit replacement part.
Control panel
The control panel is a USB connected device with its own diagnostic capabilities. Calibration of the
control-panel touch screen does not require a special boot-key sequence. See .
The control panel also includes a hardware integration pocket where third-party USB solutions, such as
card readers, can be installed.
Sensors in the ADF
The ADF contains the following sensors:
ADF-cover sensor. Detects whether the ADF cover is open or closed.
Top-of-page sensor. Detects the top of the page before sending a page through the ADF and the
end of the page after feeding/scanning is complete.
Paper-present sensor. Detects whether a document is present in the ADF. If paper is present in
the ADF when copies are made, the product scans the document using the ADF. If no paper is
present when copies are made, the product scans the document using the scanner glass.
174 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW
ADF paper path
The ADF feeds documents past the ADF glass for scanning. See Figure 5-51 ADF path for single-sided
documents on page 175.

Introduction
This chapter describes the removal and replacement of field-replaceable units (FRUs) only.
Replacing FRUs is generally the reverse of removal. Occasionally, notes and tips are included to provide
directions for difficult or critical replacement procedures.
HP does not support repairing individual subassemblies or troubleshooting to the component level.
Note the length, diameter, color, type, and location of each screw. Be sure to return each screw to its
original location during reassembly.
Incorrectly routed or loose wire harnesses can interfere with other internal components and can become
damaged or broken. Frayed or pinched harness wires can be difficult to find. When replacing wire
harnesses, always use the provided wire loops, lance points, or wire-harness guides and retainers.
Removal and replacement strategy
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 can result, in addition to damage to
the product. The power must be on for certain functional checks during troubleshooting. However,
disconnect the power supply during parts removal.
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: Do not bend or fold the flat flexible cables (FFCs) during removal or installation. Also, do
not straighten pre-folds in the FFCs. You must fully seat all FFCs in their connectors. Failure to fully
seat an FFC into a connector can cause a short circuit in a PCA.
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 photos in this chapter show components removed that would not be removed
to service the product. If necessary, remove the components listed at the beginning of a procedure
before proceeding to service the product.
Electrostatic discharge
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, or
use an ESD strap. If an ESD workstation, mat, or strap 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.

Power subsystem
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 the
normal initialization display does not appear, perform power-on checks to find the cause of the problem.
Power-on sequence
00 seconds: power on button LED (+5 VA from LVPS)
02 seconds: control-panel display with HP logo (check USB cable from ICB, 12 v from formatter)
04 seconds: output bin LED (+5 v from SCB)
06 seconds: scanner lamp and initialization (24 v from LVPS)
10 seconds: ADF initialization (check ADF cable)
12 seconds: LVPS fan (right rear corner, 24 v from LVPS)
22 seconds: engine initialization
NOTE: The LVPS includes an over current and over voltage crowbar circuit. If the power supply does
not come on, unplug the power cord, wait five minutes, and then plug the power cord in and try turning
the product on again.
If the fan and main motor are operating correctly, the next troubleshooting step is to isolate print engine,
formatter, and control panel problems. Perform an engine test (see Engine-test button on page 386).
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 fan runs briefly, which indicates that the power supply is operational.
4. Make sure that the control panel display wire harness is connected.
5. Make sure that the formatter is seated and operating correctly. Turn off the product and remove
the formatter. Reinstall the formatter, and then verify that the heartbeat LED is flashing.
6. Remove any HP Jetdirect or other EIO cards, and then try to turn the product on again.
376 Chapter 7 Solve problems ENWW
NOTE: If the control panel remains blank, lift the control and verify the USB cable is seated. Next,
remove the rear upper cover and check the other end of the control panel USB cable where it connects
to the ICB.
The control panel operates on +12 v which originates on the formatter and is delivered through
connections on the ICB.
The control panel diagnostic mode can be accessed to verify functionality. Touching “+” and “*” together
at any time accesses the diagnostic mode.
ENWW Troubleshooting process 377

Print/Stop test
Use this diagnostic test to isolate the cause of problems such as image-formation defects and jams in
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.

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 CONTINUOUS from the drop-
down menu as the repeat option, the test cycles the component on and off. This process continues for
two minutes, and then the test ends.
NOTE: The door interlock switch must be defeated to run any of the component tests. If covers are
removed, the door switch must be manually cycled during some tests in order for the engine to recognize
a change. Print cartridges can be installed or removed during certain tests. The control-panel display
prompts you to remove some or all cartridges during certain tests to rotate and isolate certain
components, and to protect the cartridges and ITB.

Calibrate the product
NOTE: The procedure below is used to calibrate the scanner portion of the product. To perform an
internal print-quality calibration from the control panel, open the Print Quality menu.
Calibrate the scanner to compensate for offsets in the scanner imaging system (carriage head) for ADF
and flatbed scans. Because of mechanical tolerances, the scanner's carriage head might not read the
position of the image accurately. During the calibration procedure, scanner offset values are calculated
and stored. The offset values are then used when producing scans so that the correct portion of the
document is captured.
Scanner calibration should be carried out only if you notice offset problems with the scanned images.
The scanner is calibrated before it leaves the factory. It needs to be calibrated again only rarely.
Before calibrating the scanner, print the calibration target.
1. Place letter- or A4-size paper in tray 1, and adjust the side guides.
2. On the control-panel Home screen, scroll to and touch Administration.
3. Touch Troubleshooting.
4. Touch Calibrate Scanner.
5. Touch Calibrate to print the first pass of the calibration target.
6. Place the first pass of the calibration target face-down in tray 1 so that the arrows are facing into
the product.
7. Touch Start to print the second pass. The final calibration target must look similar to the following
figure.
CAUTION: If the calibration target does not look similar to the figure shown here, the calibration
process will fail and the quality of scans will be degraded. The black areas must extend completely
to the short edges of the page. If they do not, use a black marker to extend the black areas to the
edge of the page. Make sure that the paper is loaded correctly.
8. Place the calibration target face-up into the ADF, and adjust the side guides.
9. After the calibration target has passed through the ADF once, reposition it face down in the ADF
and touch Start.
10. Place the calibration target face-down on the scanner glass, touch Start, and scan the page. After
this pass, the calibration is complete.

Clear paper 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 Supported
paper and print media on page 56.
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 product
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.
See Load paper and print media on page 62.
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. 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 220 g/m2 (58 lb), 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.

Jam recovery
This product provides jam recovery, a feature that reprints jammed pages. The following options are
available:
Auto setting — The product attempts to reprint jammed pages when sufficient memory is available.
Off setting — The product does not attempt to reprint jammed pages. Because no memory is used
to store the most recent pages, performance is optimal.
NOTE: When using this option, if the product runs out of paper and the job is being printed on
both sides, some pages can be lost.
On setting — The product always reprints jammed pages. Additional memory is allocated to store
the last few pages printed. This might cause overall performance to suffer.

Use manual print modes
Try the following multi-purpose (MP) modes to see if they solve the image-quality problems. At the
control panel, touch Administration, and then Print Quality, and then scroll to the Print Modes or
Optimize submenus.
If you are having print-quality problems when using a specific paper type, use the Print Modes submenu
to override the factory-default mode setting can sometimes resolve the print quality problems. You can
associate a different print mode with each paper type.
Use the Optimize submenu to optimize print engine parameters to get the best possible print quality for
all the jobs rather than printing by media type. Use the Restore Optimize option to reset all of the
Optimize parameters back to the factory default settings

Serial number Set the serial number.
SERVICE ID Use this item to show the date that the product was first
used on the control panel. This eliminates the need for users
to keep paper receipts for proof of warranty.
Restore the service ID
If you replace the formatter, the date is lost. Use this menu
item to reset the date to the original date that the product
was first used. The date format is YYDDD. Use the following
formula to calculate the dates:
1. To calculate YY, subtract 1990 from the calendar year.
For instance, if the product was first used in 2002,
calculate YY as follows: 2002 - 1990 = 12. YY = 12.
2. Subtract 1 from 10 (October is the tenth month of the
year): 10 - 1 = 9.
Multiply 9 by 30: 9 x 30 = 270 or add 17 to 270:
270 + 17 = 287. Thus, DDD = 287.
Convert the service ID to an actual date
You can use the product Service ID number to determine
whether the product is still under warranty. Use the following
formula to convert the Service ID into the installation date
as follows:
1. Add 1990 to YY to get the actual year that the product
was installed.
2. Divide DDD by 30. If there is a remainder, add 1 to the
result. This is the month.
3. The remainder from the calculation in step 2 is the
date.
Using the Service ID 12287 as an example, the date
conversion is as follows:
1. 12 + 1990 = 2002, so the year is 2002.
2. 287 divided by 30 = 9 with a remainder of 17. Since
there is a remainder, add 1 to 9 to get 10, which
represents October.
3. The remainder in step 2 is 17, so that is the date.
4. The complete date is 17-October-2002.
NOTE: A six-day grace period is built into the date system.
Cold Reset Paper When you perform a cold reset, the paper size that is stored
in NVRAM is reset to the default factory setting. If you

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 all-in-one 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.

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.

Safety statements
Laser safety
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has
implemented regulations for laser products manufactured since August 1, 1976. Compliance is
mandatory for products marketed in the United States. The device is certified as a “Class 1” laser product
under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard
according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. Since radiation emitted inside the
device is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot
escape during any phase of normal user operation.
WARNING! Using controls, making adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified
in this user guide may result in exposure to hazardous radiation.
Canadian DOC regulations
Complies with Canadian EMC Class B requirements.
