HP postscript level 3 UPD

The printer drivers include online Help that has instructions for common printing tasks and also describes
the buttons, checkboxes, and drop-down lists that are in the printer driver.

NOTE: The versions of PCL 5 and HP postscript level 3 emulation that are used in this product are
identical to the PCL 5 and HP postscript level 3 emulation that are used in the HP Universal Print Driver
(UPD) for Windows. It installs and operates in the same manner as previous versions of PCL 5 and
HP postscript level 3 emulation, and it does not require any special configuration.
For more information about the UPD, see www.hp.com/go/upd.

HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)
The HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows is a single driver that gives you instant access to
virtually any HP LaserJet product, from any location, without downloading separate drivers. It is built on
proven HP print driver technology and has been tested thoroughly and used with many software
programs. It is a powerful solution that performs consistently over time.
The HP UPD communicates directly with each HP product, gathers configuration information, and then
customizes the user interface to show the product’s unique, available features. It automatically enables
features that are available for the product, such as two-sided printing and stapling, so you do not need
to enable them manually.
For more information, go to www.hp.com/go/upd.
UPD installation modes
Traditional mode

Dynamic mode

●

Use this mode if you are installing the driver from a CD for a single computer.

●

When installed with this mode, UPD operates like traditional printer drivers.

●

If you use this mode, you must install UPD separately for each computer.

●

Use this mode if you are installing the driver for a mobile computer, so you can
discover and print to HP products in any location.

●

Use this mode if you are installing UPD for a workgroup.

●

To use this mode, download UPD from the Internet. See www.hp.com/go/
upd.

Supported printer drivers for Macintosh

Understand paper and print media use
This product supports a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this
user guide. Paper or print media that does not meet these guidelines might cause the following problems:
●

Poor print quality

●

Increased jams

●

Premature wear on the product, requiring repair

For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laser printers or multiuse. Do
not use paper or print media made for inkjet printers. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend
the use of other brands of media because HP cannot control their quality.
It is possible for paper to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce satisfactory
results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and/or humidity levels,
or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.
CAUTION: Using paper or print media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard's specifications might
cause problems for the product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard

Embedded Web server
This product is equipped with an embedded Web server (EWS), which provides access to information
about product and network activities. A Web server provides an environment in which web programs
may run, much in the same way that an operating system, such as Windows, provides an environment
for programs to run on a computer. The output from these programs can then be displayed by a Web
browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, or Netscape Navigator.
An “embedded” Web server resides on a hardware device (such as an HP LaserJet product) or in
firmware, rather than as software that is loaded on a network server.
The advantage of an EWS is that it provides an interface to the product that anyone with a networkconnected product and computer can use. There is no special software to install or configure, but you
must have a supported Web browser on the computer. To gain access to the EWS, type the IP address
for the product in the address line of the browser. (To find the IP address, print a configuration page.
For more information about printing a configuration page, see Information pages on page 50.)
NOTE: For Macintosh operating systems, you can use the EWS over a USB connection after installing
the Macintosh software included with the product.

Features
The EWS allows you to view product and network status and manage printing functions from a computer.
With the EWS, you can complete the following tasks:
●

View product status information

●

Determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones

●

View and change part of the product configuration

●

View and print some internal pages

●

Select the language in which to display the EWS pages and control panel messages

●

View and change network configuration

●

Set, change, or clear the product security password (see Turn on password protection from the
control panel on page 63).

●

Enable/disable the photo card slot on the product from the print tab

●

Set fax receive and phone book settings.

●

Set default copy and print settings.

NOTE: Changing network settings in the EWS might disable some of product software or features.

HP policy on non-HP supplies
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP supplies, either new or
remanufactured. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence their design or control their
quality. Service or repairs required as a result of using a non-HP supply will not be covered under the
warranty.

HP fraud hotline
Call the HP fraud hotline if the product or HP ToolboxFX indicates that the print cartridge is not an

take steps to resolve the problem.
The print cartridge might not be a genuine HP one if you notice the following issues:
●

You are experiencing a large number of problems with the print cartridge.

●

The print cartridge does not look like it usually does (for example, the pull tab or the box is different).

In the United States, call toll-free: 1-877-219-3183.
Outside the United States, you can call collect. Dial the operator and ask to place a collect call to this
telephone number: 1-770-263-4745. If you do not speak English, a representative at the HP fraud hotline
who speaks your language will assist you. Or, if someone who speaks your language is not available,

Protective function
The power supply unit has a protective function against overcurrent and overvoltage to prevent failures
in the power supply circuit. If an overcurrent or overvoltage instance occurs, the system automatically
cuts off the output voltage.
If the DC voltage is not being supplied from the power supply unit, the protective function might be
running. If that is the case, turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord. Do not plug in the power
cord and do not turn the power switch on again until the root cause is found.
In addition, a fuse protects against overcurrent instances. If an overcurrent instance flows into the AC
line, the fuse deactivates and cuts off the power distribution.

Latent-image formation stage
During the steps that comprise this stage, a latent image is formed by applying a negative charge to the
photosensitive drum. You cannot see this image on the drum.

Step 1: primary charging
A high-voltage DC bias is applied to the primary charging roller, which is made of conductive rubber and
is in contact with the drum surface. As the roller moves across the drum, it applies the negative charge
to that surface.
Figure 5-12 Primary charging

Step 2: laser-beam exposure
The laser beam scans the photosensitive drum to neutralize the negative charge on portions of the drum
surface. An electrostatic latent image is formed where the negative charge was neutralized.
Figure 5-13 Laser-beam exposure

Developing stage
The developing cylinder comes in contact with the photosensitive drum and deposits toner on the

Chapter 5 Theory of operation

ENWW

Step 3: development
Toner acquires a negative charge as a result of the friction from the developing cylinder rotating against
the developing blade. When the negatively charged toner comes in contact with the drum, it adheres to
the electrostatic latent image. When the toner is on the drum, the image becomes visible.

Step 4: primary transfer
The toner image on the photosensitive drum is transferred to the ITB. The DC positive bias is applied
to the primary transfer pad. The negatively charged toner transfers to the ITB from the drum surface.
Figure 5-15 Primary transfer

Step 5: secondary transfer
The toner image on the ITB is transferred to the print media. The DC positive bias is applied to the
secondary transfer roller. As the media passes between the secondary transfer roller and the ITB, the
toner image is transferred to the media.
Figure 5-16 Secondary transfer

98

Chapter 5 Theory of operation

ENWW

Step 6: separation from the drum
The elasticity of the print media and the curvature of the ITB drive roller cause the media to separate
from the ITB.
Figure 5-17 Separation from the drum

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

Step 7: fusing
The product uses an on-demand fusing method to fuse the toner image onto the media. The toner image
is permanently affixed to the print media by the heat and pressure.
Figure 5-18 Fusing

ENWW

Image-formation system

99

ITB cleaning stage
Step 8: ITB cleaning
The ITB cleaning roller and the cleaning brush are applied with DC positive bias to charge the residual
toner positive. Because the primary transfer pad is also applied with DC positive bias, the positively
charged residual toner is reverse-transferred to the photosensitive drum from the ITB surface.
Figure 5-19 ITB cleaning

100 Chapter 5 Theory of operation

ENWW

Drum cleaning stage
Not all of the toner is removed from the photosensitive drum during the transfer stage. During the
cleaning stage, the residual, or waste, toner is cleared from the drum surface to prepare the surface for
the next latent-image formation.

Step 9: drum cleaning
The cleaning blade scrapes the residual toner off the surface of the photosensitive drum and deposits
it in the waste-toner container. The drum is now clear, and is ready for the next image-formation process.

Developing roller engagement/disengagement control
The developing roller engagement/disengagement control engages the required developing roller with
the photosensitive drum according to the print mode—full-color mode or monochrome mode.
The necessary developing roller is engaged with the photosensitive drum only when required, preventing
a deterioration of the drums and making maximum use of the life. The engagement/disengagement of
the developing roller is controlled by the DC controller rotating the main motor and changing the direction
of the developing disengagement cam. The DC controller controls the developing roller state, whether
engaged or disengaged, by detecting the output signal from the developing home position sensor.
All four color developing rollers disengage from the photosensitive drums when the product is turned
on and when a print operation is completed. The color developing rollers engage with the photosensitive
drums when the full-color mode is designated. Only the black developing roller engages with the
photosensitive drum when the monochrome mode is designated.
The DC controller determines an abnormality of the developing roller engagement/disengagement
function and notifies the formatter when it does not sense the signal from the developing home-position
sensor for a specified period during the developing roller engagement/disengagement operation.

Pad transfer
The product uses a pad transfer method for the primary transfer operation. The pad transfer method
stabilizes an image compared to the conventional separation roller method. The wider nip width between
the transfer pad and the photosensitive drum improves the transfer performance.

Multiple-feed prevention
The product uses a separation roller to prevent multiple sheets of media from entering the product. The
paper separation roller follows the rotational direction of the pickup roller because it does not have its
own driving force.
●

Normal-feed: The separation roller is driven by the pickup roller through a sheet of print media.
That is, the separation roller rotates in the media feed direction.

●

Multiple-feed: The low friction force between the sheets weakens the rotational force from the
pickup roller. The separation roller is limited in its rotational force and it does not rotate with such
a weak driving force from the pickup roller. Since the separation roller does not rotate, the multiple
sheets do not feed into the product.

Scanner and ADF functions and operation
The following sections describe how the document scanner and the automatic document feeder (ADF)
function.

Scanner functions
The scanner uses a light source, a color-separation method, and a charge-coupled device (CCD) array
to collect optical information about the document and transform that into an image file. The scanner
consists of these elements:
●

A lamp (LED)

●

Five mirrors and a lens

●

A CCD

Figure 5-23 Optical system
Scanner Glass
LED

Lam p

600 ppi CCD

Lens

The scanner lamp illuminates a small strip of the document (called the raster line). The mirrors direct
the light through the lens to the CCD. The CCD senses and records the light, creating an analog
representation of the raster line. If the ADF is being used, the document then advances in the ADF to
the next raster line. If the flatbed is being used, the scanner module advances to the next raster line.
This advancing and collection process continues to the end of the sheet.
The image data is collected in the motor controller board, where it is processed and sent to the formatter.
The formatter then handles the image data, outputting it as a copy, sending it through the fax card as a
fax, or directing it to the computer as scanner output.
The image data collected is 600 pixels per inch (ppi). Each pixel has 8 bits for each of the three colors
(256 gray scale levels for each color), or a total of 24 bits per pixel (24-bit color).

106 Chapter 5 Theory of operation

ENWW

Scanner operation
At power-on and periodically at other times, the scanner assembly moves systematically to locate its
home position. It then calibrates to a white strip located under the glass at the left end of the scan tub.
If the product detects a document in the ADF when a copy or scan is initiated (from the software or the
control panel), the scan module moves to the left side of the scan tub and stops. The image is acquired
as the paper is fed through the ADF past the scanner module.
If no document is detected in the ADF, the scan module acquires the image from the flatbed glass while
slowly moving within the scan tub.

ADF operation
Standby (paper-loading) mode: In standby mode, the pickup roller is up and the stack-stop is down,
preventing the user from inserting the original document too far. When a document is inserted correctly,
the paper-present sensor detects its presence.
The standard operation of the ADF consists of the pick, feed, and lift steps.
Pick: When it receives a copy or scan command, the ADF motor engages the gear train to lower the
pickup-roller assembly and raise the stack-stop. The first roller, called the pre-pick roller, moves the top
few sheets forward into the ADF. The next roller is the pickup roller. This roller contacts the ADF
separation pad, which separates multiple pages into single sheets.
Feed: The single sheet continues through the path. Along the way, the form sensor, which is a set
distance from the ADF glass, detects the sheet. This alerts the scanner to start when the page reaches
the glass. The scanner acquires the image, one raster line at a time, until it detects the end of the page.
The page is then ejected. The pick and feed steps are repeated as long as paper is detected in the ADF
input tray.
Lift: When no more paper is detected in the ADF input tray and the form sensor detects the trailing edge
of the last page, the last sheet is ejected and the motor turns in a sequence that lifts the pick-roller
assembly to standby (paper-loading) mode again.
The ADF will not function when the ADF cover is open. The paper path is incomplete if the ADF cover
is lifted from the glass.
When the product duplexes from the ADF, the paper passes through the ADF three times. During the
second instance, the product reverses the page orientation and then scans it. During the third instance,
the product returns the page to the original orientation.

ENWW

Scanner and ADF functions and operation 107

ADF paper path and ADF sensors
The following diagram shows the ADF paper path during a two-sided (duplexed) copy job. The paper
enters the product from the ADF input tray and passes through the paper path for the first time (callout
1). The product then pulls the paper back through the path (callout 2) in order to reorient the page and
scan the second side. The paper then travels back to the end of the paper path, where it is pulled in one
more time to travel through the paper path (callout 3) in order for the product to reorient the page again
before sending it out of the paper path and pulling in the next sheet.

ADF jam detection
The ADF has two sensors that detect paper. The paper-present sensor detects the presence of media
in the ADF input tray. The form sensor detects media moving through the ADF. If a jam is detected, the
ADF immediately stops the paper feeding and a jam message appears on the control-panel display.
A jam can be detected under any of the following conditions:

ENWW

●

Document-feeder jam. When documents are detected in the ADF input tray, and a command to
copy, scan or fax is received, the scan module travels to the left side of the scan assembly and
stops beneath the ADF scanner glass. The ADF then attempts three times, or for about ten
seconds, to advance the paper to the form sensor. If the paper does not advance, the scan module
travels back to the home position on the right side of the scanner assembly. The message
Document feeder mispick. Reload. appears on the control-panel display.

●

Long-document jam. If the paper has advanced to trigger the form sensor, but the trailing edge
is not detected within the time allowed for a 381-mm (15-inch) document (the maximum allowable
page length for the ADF), the scanner returns to the home position on the right side of the scanner
assembly. The message Doc feeder jam. Clear, Reload. appears on the control-panel display.

●

Stall jam. When a page that is less than 381 mm (15 inches) long has advanced to the form sensor
but has not left it within the expected time, the paper has probably stalled or jammed. The scanner
returns to the home position on the right side of the scanner assembly. The message Doc feeder
jam. Clear, Reload. appears on the control-panel display.

●

Other. If the paper stops in the ADF and the scan module remains under the ADF scanner glass,
an internal firmware error has probably occurred. This is usually remedied by cycling the power.

ENWW

Fax functions and operation (fax/memory-card models
only)
The following sections describe the product fax capabilities.

Computer and network security features
The product can send and receive fax data over telephone lines that conform to public switch telephone
network (PSTN) standards. The secure fax protocols make it impossible for computer viruses to be
transferred from the telephone line to a computer or network.
The following product features prevent virus transmission:
●

No direct connection exists between the fax line and any devices that are connected to the USB
or Ethernet ports.

●

The internal firmware cannot be modified through the fax connection.

●

All fax communications go through the fax subsystem, which does not use Internet data-exchange
protocols.

PSTN operation
The PSTN operates through a central office (CO) that generates a constant voltage on the TIP and
RING wires (48 V, usually). A device goes on-hook by connecting impedance (such as 600 ohms for
the U.S.) across the TIP and RING so that a line current can flow. The CO can detect this current and
can send impulses like dial tones. The product generates more signaling tones, such as dialing digits,
to tell the CO how to connect the call. The product can also detect tones, such as a busy tone from the
CO, that tell it how to behave.
When the call is finally connected, the CO behaves like a piece of wire connecting the sender and
receiver. This is the period during which all of the fax signaling and data transfer occurs. When a call is
completed, the circuit opens again and the line-current flow ceases, removing the CO connection from
both the sender and the receiver.
On most phone systems, the TIP and RING wires appear on pins 3 and 4 of the RJ-11 modular jack
(the one on the fax card). These two wires do not have to be polarized because all the equipment works
with either TIP or RING on pin 3 and the other wire on pin 4. This means that cables of either polarity
can interconnect and will still work.
These basic functions of PSTN operation are assumed in the design of the fax subsystem. The product
generates and detects the signaling tones, currents, and data signals that are required to transmit and
receive faxes on the PSTN.

Receive faxes when you hear fax tones
In general, incoming faxes to the product are automatically received. However, if other devices are
connected to the same phone line, the product might not be set to answer automatically.
If the product is connected to a phone line that receives both fax and phone calls, and you hear fax
tones when you answer the extension phone, receive the fax in one of two ways:

Fax setup menu.

Distinctive ring function
Distinctive ring is a service that a telephone company provides. The distinctive ring service allows three
phone numbers to be assigned to one phone line. Each phone number has a distinctive ring. The first
phone number has a single ring, the second phone number has a double ring, and the third phone
number has a triple ring.
NOTE: The product has not been tested with all of the distinctive-ring services that telephone
companies provide in all countries/regions. HP does not guarantee that the distinctive-ring function will
operate correctly in all countries/regions. Contact the local phone service provider for assistance.

Fax by using Voice over IP services
Voice over IP (VoIP) services provide normal telephone service, including long distance service through
a broadband Internet connection. These services use packets to break up the voice signal on a
telephone line and transmit it digitally to the receiver, where the packets are reassembled. The VoIP
services are often not compatible with fax machines. The VoIP provider must state the service supports
fax over IP services.
Because the installation process varies, the VoIP service provider will have to assist in installing the
product fax component.
Although a fax might work on a VoIP network, it can fail when the following events occur:
●

Internet traffic becomes heavy and packets are lost.

●

Latency (the time it takes for a packet to travel from its point of origin to its point of destination)
becomes excessive.

112 Chapter 5 Theory of operation

ENWW

If you experience problems using the fax feature on a VoIP network, ensure that all of the product cables
and settings are correct. Configuring the Fax Speed setting to Medium(V.17) or Slow(V.29) can also
improve your ability to send a fax over a VoIP network.
If you continue to have problems faxing, contact your VoIP provider.

The fax subsystem
The formatter, fax card, firmware, and software all contribute to the fax functionality. The designs of the
formatter and fax card, along with parameters in the firmware, determine the majority of the regulatory
requirements for telephony on the product.
The fax subsystem is designed to support V.34 fax transmission, lower speeds (such as V.17 fax), and
older fax machines.

Fax card in the fax subsystem
Two versions of the fax card are used in the product. One is used in the North American, South American,
and Asian countries/regions. The other is used primarily in European countries/regions.
The fax card contains the modem chipset (DSP and CODEC) that controls the basic fax functions of
tone generation and detection, along with channel control for fax transmissions. The CODEC and its
associated circuitry act as the third-generation silicon data access arrangement (DAA) to comply with
worldwide regulatory requirements.
The only difference between the two versions is that each version is compliant with the 2/4-wire phone
jack system from the respective country/region.

Safety isolation
The most important function of the fax card is the safety isolation between the high-voltage, transientprone environment of the telephone network (TNV [telephone network voltage]) and the low-voltage
analog and digital circuitry of the formatter (SELV [secondary extra-low voltage]). This safety isolation
provides both customer safety and product reliability in the telecom environment.
Any signals that cross the isolation barrier do so magnetically. The breakdown voltage rating of barriercritical components is greater than 5 kV.

Safety-protection circuitry
In addition to the safety barrier, the fax card protects against over-voltage and over-current events.
Telephone over-voltage events can be either differential mode or common mode. The event can be
transient in nature (a lightning-induced surge or ESD) or continuous (a power line crossed with a phone
line). The fax card protection circuitry provides margin against combinations of over-voltage and overcurrent events.
Common mode protection is provided by the selection of high-voltage-barrier critical components
(transformer and relay). The safety barrier of the fax card PCB traces and the clearance between the
fax card and surrounding components also contribute to common mode protection.
A voltage suppressor (a crowbar-type SIDACTOR) provides differential protection. This product
becomes low impedance at approximately 300 V differential, and crowbars to a low voltage. A series
thermal switch works in conjunction with the crowbar for continuous telephone line events, such as
crossed power lines.

ENWW

Fax functions and operation (fax/memory-card models only) 113

All communications cross the isolation barrier magnetically. The breakdown voltage rating of barriercritical components is greater than 5 kV.

Data path
TIP and RING are the two-wire paths for all signals from the telephone network. All signaling and data
information comes across them, including fax tones and fax data.
The telephone network uses DC current to determine the hook state of the telephone, so line current
must be present during a call. The silicon DAA provides a DC holding circuit to keep the line current
constant during a fax call.
The silicon DAA converts the analog signal to a digital signal for DSP processing, and also converts the
digital signal to an analog signal for transmitting data through a telephone line.
The magnetically coupled signals that cross the isolation barrier go either through a transformer or a
relay.
The DSP in the fax card communicates with the ASIC in the formatter using direct-register access.

Hook state
Another magnetically coupled signal is the control signal that disconnects the downstream telephone
devices (such as a phone or answering machine). A control signal originating on the DSP can change
the relay state, causing the auxiliary jack (downstream jack) to be disconnected from the telephone
circuit.
The product takes control of calls that it recognizes as fax calls. If the product does not directly pick up
the call, it monitors incoming calls for the fax tone or for the user to direct it to receive a fax. This idle
mode is also called eavesdropping. This mode is active when the product is on-hook but current exists
in the downstream phone line because another device is off-hook. During eavesdropping, the receive
circuit is enabled but has a different gain from the current that is generated during normal fax
transmissions.
The product does not take control of the line unless it detects a fax tone or the user causes it to connect
manually. This feature allows the user to make voice calls from a phone that is connected to the product
without being cut off if a fax is not being received.

Downstream device detection
The line voltage monitoring module of the silicon DAA can detect the line state of parallel-connected
devices as well as the downstream device. It tells DSP via DIB that an active device (telephone, modem,
or answering machine) is connected to the auxiliary port on the product (the top port of the RJ-11 jack).
The DSP uses the signal to ensure that the product does not go off-hook (and disconnect a downstream
call) until it has been authorized to do so (by a manual fax start or the detection of the appropriate tones).

Hook switch control
In the silicon DAA the CODEC controls the hook switch directly. The CODEC is activated when it
receives commands from the DSP. When the circuit is drawing DC current from the central office it is
considered off-hook. When no DC current flows the state is considered on-hook.

Ring detect
Ring detect is performed by the line voltage monitoring module of the silicon DAA, and is a combination
of voltage levels and cadence (time on and time off). Both must be present to detect a valid ring. The

114 Chapter 5 Theory of operation

ENWW

CODEC works with DSP as well as the firmware to determine if an incoming signal is an answerable
ring.

Line current control
The DC current from the CO needs to have a path to flow from TIP to RING. The DC impedance
emulation line modulator and DC terminations modules in the silicon DAA act as a DC holding circuit,
and works with the firmware to achieve the voltage-current characteristic between TIP and RING. The
impedance (the current-voltage characteristic) changes corresponding to certain special events, such
as pulse dialing or when the product goes on-hook.

Billing- (metering-) tone filters
Switzerland and Germany provide high-frequency AC signals on the phone line in order to bill customers.
A filter in a special fax cable (for certain countries/regions), can filter these signals. Because these billing
signals are not used in the U.S., these filters are not present in the U.S. fax cable.
To obtain a special fax cable, contact your local telephone service provider.

Fax page storage in flash memory
Fax pages are the electronic images of the document page. They can be created in any of three ways:
scanned to be sent to another fax machine, generated to be sent by the computer, or received from a
fax machine to be printed.
The product stores all fax pages in flash memory automatically. After these pages are written into flash
memory, they are stored until the pages are sent to another fax machine, printed on the product,
transmitted to the computer, or erased by the user.
These pages are stored in flash memory, which is the nonvolatile memory that can be repeatedly read
from, written to, and erased. The product has 4 MB of flash memory, of which 3.5 MB is available for
fax storage. The remaining 0.5 MB is used for the file system and reclamation. Adding RAM does not
affect the fax page storage because the product does not use RAM for storing fax pages.

Stored fax pages
The user can reprint stored fax receive pages in case of errors. For a fax send, the product will resend
the fax in case of errors. The product will resend stored fax pages after a busy signal, communication
error, no answer, or power failure. Other fax devices store fax pages in either normal RAM or short-term
RAM. Normal RAM immediately loses its data when power is lost, while short-term RAM loses its data
about 60 minutes after power failure. Flash memory maintains its data for years without any applied
power.

Advantages of flash memory storage
Fax pages that are stored in flash memory are persistent. They are not lost as a result of a power failure,
no matter how long the power is off. Users can reprint faxes in case the print cartridge runs out of toner
or the product experiences other errors while printing faxes.
The product also has scan-ahead functionality that makes use of flash memory. Scan-ahead
automatically scans pages into flash memory before a fax job is sent. This allows the sender to pick up
the original document immediately after it is scanned, eliminating the need to wait until the fax is
transmission is complete.

Because fax pages are stored in flash memory rather than RAM, more RAM is available to handle larger
and more complicated copy and print jobs.

Removal and replacement strategy
This chapter discusses 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 problem solving at 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 locate. When replacing wire
harnesses, always use the provided wire loops, lance points, or wire-harness guides.

General cautions during removal and replacement
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, as well as damage to the
product. The power must be on for certain functional checks during problem solving. However, the power
cord should be disconnected 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 make sure that all FFCs are fully seated in their
connectors. Failure to fully seat an FFC into a connector can cause a short circuit in a PCA.
Avoid pulling directly on wires to disconnect wire-harness connectors. Pull on the plastic body of a
connector when ever possible to avoid damaging the connector wires.
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.

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. 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.

Formatter PCA and fax PCA
Special considerations
WARNING! Do not install a replacement formatter PCA and DC controller PCA at the same time.
The formatter PCA and the DC controller PCA store important product configuration information
(NVRAM data) that is lost if both PCAs are replaced at the same time. When the product power is turned
on, the DC controller restores the NVRAM data on the replacement formatter.
Replacing both the formatter and the DC controller at the same time will result in severe print-quality
problems.
NOTE: The base model does not have a fax card installed.
Replacing the formatter PCA before the DC controller PCA
Use the following procedure if you need to install a replacement formatter PCA and a replacement DC
controller.
NOTE: If you are only installing a replacement formatter PCA, go to Remove the formatter PCA and
fax PCA on page 158.
1.

Install a replacement formatter PCA.

2.

Turn the product on, and wait for the print-cartridge volume indicators to appear on the controlpanel display.
NOTE: This allows important product information to be written to the replacement formatter PCA.

3.

Turn the product off.

4.

Install a replacement DC controller. See DC controller PCA on page 161.

5.

Turn the product on.

Remove the formatter PCA and fax PCA
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 make sure that all FFCs are fully seated in their
connectors. Failure to fully seat an FFC into a connector can cause a short circuit in a PCA.

Some parts are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). 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.
NOTE: The base model does not have a fax PCA.

Troubleshooting tools
The section describes the tools that can help you solve problems with the product.

LED diagnostics
Network LEDs (network models only)
The onboard network solution has two network port LEDs. When the product is connected to a properly
working network through a network cable, the yellow LED indicates network activity, and the green LED
indicates the link status. A blinking yellow LED indicates network traffic. If the green LED is off, a link
has failed.
For link failures, check all of the network cable connections. In addition, you can try to manually configure
the link settings on the onboard network solution by using the product control-panel menus.

The receiving product has answered a call but has
been unable to detect the presence of a calling fax
product for one of the following reasons:

1.

Confirm that the sender is a fax product and
not a voice caller—typically you must rely on
the sender informing the caller that the fax
session is failing.

2.

If the sending product ends the call just as the
receiving product starts reception, reduce the
ring count after which the receiving product
answers. Alternatively suggest that the sender
manually dials to the receiving product and
then manually starts the fax session, by
pressing theStart Fax button once fax tones
have been heard from the receiving product.

start a reception at the same time. It is possible to
accidentally initiate a fax reception after dialing on
many products, if there is no paper in the product
or if the paper is not correctly loaded and cannot be

One of the following has occurred:

1.

Confirm that the sender is not inadvertently
attempting to poll transmit from the receiving

example would be when the receiving product
wanted to initiate polling, but the sending
product did not support this mode of operation.

The user of the sending product has pressed
theCancel
button, causing the session to be
prematurely terminated. The receiving product has
been "holding off" the remote product during
reception of a large and/or complex document due
to lack of available memory. This hold-off time has
exceeded the timeout (typically 60 seconds) used
by the sending product, and it has terminated the
session.

The receiving product has detected that the modem
carrier has stopped. Either the line has been
disconnected or the sending product has aborted
the transmission.

The receiving product has stopped receiving any
data during an ECM page reception although the
modem has not detected a sending disconnect.
The sending product is probably transmitting sync

286

The sending product has transmitted invalid data.
The receiving product has received frames with
errors during an ECM reception and requested
retransmission of the errored frames. The data that
is resent does not correspond to the data that was
requested. This is an implementation error from the
sending product.

Disable ECM and reattempt the reception.

290

The sending product has attempted to renegotiate
the session mode from ECM to non-ECM between
pages. This operation is not supported and the
session has been abandoned.

Reattempt the fax reception and split the document
into two portions corresponding to the ECM and
non-ECM portions. Some products will attempt to
use non-ECM for photo mode, so this may be
associated with a between-page encoding change
to support photo mode.

291

This is not a communication error and it is not
expected that this error will occur under nondevelopment scenarios. Reception has failed
because the receiving product is unable to open a
file to receive data into. May be associated with low
memory, although low memory should be handle
more gracefully than this.

If the error persists, reinitialize the product.

292

The sending product has attempted to renegotiate
the encoding mode from non-JPEG to JPEG. This
operation is not supported and the session has

A sending fax product has failed to answer the call.
Specifically fax tones or the fax handshake from a

316

The receiving product is setup to initiate document
transmission, but it has detected that the sending
product is not able to receive a document. This error
should be very rare since normally a sending
product will not answer if it cannot receive a
document. On of the few exceptions to this would
occur if the sending product was configured to poll

386

The receiving product has failed to complete the
third phase of the initial V.34 handshake after
originating a fax session. This is usually due to poor
line conditions although it may be a compatibility
issue with certain products and/or line conditions.

1.

Reattempt the fax transmission at a different
time when telephone line conditions have
improved.

2.

Disable V.34 on the receiving product and
attempt the transmission using the V.17
mode.

387

The receiving product has failed to successfully
negotiate the initial V.8 handshake with the sending
product after originating a fax session. Typically this
will occur when the sending product is not fax
capable or has disabled reception. It may also be a
compatibility issue with certain products and/or line
conditions.

388

The receiving product has originated a fax session
and detected a sending fax product but has been
unable to detect any T30 frames. If the product is
in V.17 mode it is likely that the connection has
been interrupted. In V.34 mode is also possible for
this error to occur due to compatibility problems
with certain products and/or line conditions.

The receiving product has originated a fax session
and has reattempted V.8 negotiations multiple
times without success.

390

The receiving product has originated a fax session
using error correction (either V.34 or V.17).
Transmission of an image has been abandoned

internal problems that cause generation of data for
transmission to stall.

391

The receiving product has originated a fax session
without error correction (not V.34 ). Transmission of
an image has been abandoned after a timeout

that cause generation of data for transmission to
stall.

392

The receiving product has answered a fax session

Common causes of jams
Common causes of jams1
Cause

Solution

The paper length and width guides are not adjusted correctly.

Adjust the guides so they are against the paper stack.

The media does not meet specifications.

Use only media that meets HP specifications. See Paper and
print media on page 37.

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

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

An input tray is loaded incorrectly.

Remove any excess media 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 43.

The media is skewed.

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

The media is binding or sticking together.

Remove the media, flex it, rotate it 180 degrees, or flip it over.
Reload the media into the input tray.
NOTE: Do not fan paper. Fanning can create static
electricity, which can cause paper to stick together.

1

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

Wait until the page completely settles in the output bin before
removing it.

The media is in poor condition.

Replace the media.

The internal rollers from the tray are not picking up the media.

Remove the top sheet of media. If the media is heavier than
163 g/m2 (43 lb), it might not be picked from the tray.

The media has rough or jagged edges.

Replace the media.

The media is perforated or embossed.

Perforated or embossed media does not separate easily. Load
sheets one at a time.

Paper was not stored correctly.

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

If the product continues to jam, contact HP Customer Support or your authorized HP service provider.

Clear jams
Causes of jams
Occasionally, paper or other print media can become jammed during a print job. Some causes include
the following events:

ENWW

●

The input trays are loaded improperly or overfilled, or the media guides are not set properly.

●

Media is added to or removed from an input tray during a print job or an input tray is removed from
the product during a print job.

●

The cartridge door is opened during a print job.

●

Too many sheets have accumulated in an output area, or sheets are blocking an output area.

●

The print media that is being used does not meet HP specifications. See Paper and print media
on page 37.

●

The media is damaged or has foreign objects attached to it, such as staples or paper clips.

●

The environment in which the print media was stored is too humid or too dry. See Paper and print
media on page 37.

Paper-handling problems 283

Where to look for jams
Jams can occur in these locations:
●

In the automatic document feeder (ADF)

●

In input areas

●

In the automatic duplexer (where applicable)

●

In output areas

●

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.

Hewlett-Packard limited warranty statement
HP PRODUCT

DURATION OF LIMITED WARRANTY

HP Color LaserJet CM2320, CM2320nf, and CM2320fxi

One-year limited warranty

HP warrants to you, the end-user customer, that HP hardware and accessories will be free from defects in materials
and workmanship after the date of purchase, for the period specified above. If HP receives notice of such defects
during the warranty period, HP will, at its option, either repair or replace products which prove to be defective.
Replacement products may be either new or equivalent in performance to new.
HP warrants to you that HP software will not fail to execute its programming instructions after the date of purchase,
for the period specified above, due to defects in material and workmanship when properly installed and used. If
HP receives notice of such defects during the warranty period, HP will replace software which does not execute
its programming instructions due to such defects.
HP does not warrant that the operation of HP products will be uninterrupted or error free. If HP is unable, within a
reasonable time, to repair or replace any product to a condition as warranted, you will be entitled to a refund of
the purchase price upon prompt return of the product.
HP products may contain remanufactured parts equivalent to new in performance or may have been subject to
incidental use.
Warranty does not apply to defects resulting from (a) improper or inadequate maintenance or calibration, (b)
software, interfacing, parts or supplies not supplied by HP, (c) unauthorized modification or misuse, (d) operation
outside of the published environmental specifications for the product, or (e) improper site preparation or
maintenance.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND NO OTHER
WARRANTY OR CONDITION, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED AND HP
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY,
SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some countries/regions, states or
provinces do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty, so the above limitation or exclusion might
not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you might also have other rights that vary from
country/region to country/region, state to state, or province to province. HP's limited warranty is valid in any country/
region or locality where HP has a support presence for this product and where HP has marketed this product. The
level of warranty service you receive may vary according to local standards. HP will not alter form, fit or function
of the product to make it operate in a country/region for which it was never intended to function for legal or regulatory
reasons.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, THE REMEDIES IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT ARE YOUR
SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. EXCEPT AS INDICATED ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL HP OR ITS
SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF DATA OR FOR DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL

ENWW

Hewlett-Packard limited warranty statement 373

(INCLUDING LOST PROFIT OR DATA), OR OTHER DAMAGE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR
OTHERWISE. Some countries/regions, states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
THE WARRANTY TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY
PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT OR MODIFY AND ARE IN ADDITION TO THE MANDATORY
STATUTORY RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO THE SALE OF THIS PRODUCT TO YOU.

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.

Telephone Consumer Protection Act (United States)
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer
or other electronic device, including fax machines, to send any message unless such message clearly
contains, in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the
transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business, other entity, or individual
sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity,
or individual. (The telephone number provided cannot be a 900 number or any other number for which
charges exceed local or long-distance transmission charges.)

IC CS-03 requirements
Notice: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means the equipment
meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements as
prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirement document(s). The
Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction. Before installing
this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible for the equipment to be connected to the
facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an
acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above
conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment
should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made
by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company
cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment. Users should ensure for their own protection
that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water
pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution can be particularly important in rural
areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate. The Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN) of this device is 0.0.
Notice: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication
of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination
on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum
of the Ringer Equivalence Number of all the devices does not exceed five (5.0). The standard connecting
arrangement code (telephone jack type) for equipment with direct connections to the telephone network
is CA11A.

Country/region specific 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.
