Hard Disk
An optional hard disk can be installed to permanently store
downloaded fonts and forms in the printer. Unlike the standard printer
memory, permanently downloaded items remain on the hard disk
even when the printer is powered off. Fonts downloaded to the hard
disk are available to all users of the printer. The hard disk is also used
with the HP Digital Copy and for some Job Retention features. The
HP LaserJet 8100 Series printers must have a hard disk for accessing
Job Retention, but the HP LaserJet 8150 Series have two of the four
Job Retention features without a hard disk.
To initialize the hard disk: With the printer turned off, hold down
CANCEL JOB and SELECT and turn on the printer. Then press MENU
and -VALUE, then SELECT.

Job Retention
There are four job retention features: Quick Copy, Proof and Hold,
Private Job, and Stored Job (all are available with a hard disk
installed). Proof and Hold and Private Job are also available without a
hard disk installed for the HP LaserJet 8150 Series only.
To access each of the features, first follow the steps below, then
continue to the section that describes the feature you wish to use.
For Windows only:
1

Select Print from the application’s menu.

2

Click Properties to display the properties dialog box.

3

Click the Destination tab to display the destination options.

4

Click Options under Destination Features to display Job
Retention Options.

For Macintosh only:
Select Job Retention from the pull-down menu in the print dialog box
for newer drivers. For older drivers, select Printer Specific Options.

HP LaserJet Resource Manager
The HP LaserJet Resource Manager allows you to control hard disk
and flash memory features not found in the drivers. Use the
HP LaserJet Resource Manager to initialize disk and flash memory
and to download, delete, and manage fonts to disk, across networks.
It is also used to update firmware for the HP Digital Copier. HP
LaserJet Resource Manager is not available for the Macintosh.

C4265-90907

Paper-handling Devices, Accessories, and Options 47

Macintosh users can use the HP LaserJet Utility, and Windows®
users can use the HP printer driver to download fonts. The printer
hard disk can also be write-protected through software for additional
security. See the online help associated with your HP software for
more information.
For the Macintosh environment, see the online help in the HP
LaserJet Utility Guide included with the HP LaserJet Utility software.
For the Windows environment, see your HP Windows driver online
help.

Determining Memory Requirements
The amount of memory you need depends on the types of documents
you print. With the PCL printer language, the printer can print most
text and graphics at 300 or 600 dpi without additional memory.
Add memory to your printer if you:
●

Commonly print complex graphics

●

Use many downloaded fonts

●

Print complex documents

●

Use advanced functions (such as I/O Buffering and Resource
Saving)

Note

In the HP LaserJet 8100 printer, you can remove the 16 MB DIMM and
add up to three 64 MB DIMMs for a total of 192 MB of usable memory.

Note

In the HP LaserJet 8150 printer, you can add up to two 64 MB DIMMs
for a total of 160 MB of usable memory.

Note

In the HP LaserJet 8150 series, the original 32 MB DIMM must remain
in slot designator J-10 of the formatter board for the printer to start up
and operate properly.

Media Selection Guidelines
Printer Media Selection Guidelines
Note

More detailed specifications are in the HP LaserJet 8150 User Guide
and the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide. See
Documentation in Accessories and Options on page 40.

Paper
To achieve the best possible print quality and avoid paper jams, follow
these guidelines for selecting paper:
●

Use only copier grade paper that meets all specifications in the
Print Media guide. Avoid paper with embossed lettering,
perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough.

●

Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white
photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the fusing
temperature of 392° F (200° C) for 0.1 second without
deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was
added after the paper was produced.

●

Pre-printed forms must be printed with non-flammable, heatresistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous
emissions when subjected to the fusing temperature of 392° F
(200° C) for 0.1 second.

●

A small sample of a new print media should be tested before
purchasing large quantities.

Envelopes
CAUTION

To prevent severe damage to the printer, do not use envelopes that
have windows, clasps, snaps, or any non-paper materials.
Print Envelopes to the Face-up Bin ONLY.

Envelopes can be printed from Tray 1 and from the optional Envelope
Feeder. Choose envelopes that are well-constructed. They should lie
flat and be sharply creased. They should not be wrinkled, nicked, or
otherwise damaged. Envelope adhesive must be compatible with the
heat and pressure of the fusing process.

52 Chapter 1 Product Information

C4265-90907

Adhesive Labels
Use the following guidelines when selecting labels:
CAUTION

Tray 1 is required for printing adhesive labels.
Print labels to the Face-up Bin ONLY.
This printer does not support use of labels with any exposed spaces.
Do not attempt to print on label sheets after any of the labels have been
removed from the sheet. Damage to the printer may result.

●

Labels must be arranged on the carrier sheet so there are no
exposed spaces on the sheet. Using label stock with spaces
between rows or columns of labels can often result in labels
peeling off during printing, causing serious jamming and possible
damage to the printer.

●

The top sheet (printing surface) must be of copier quality and
provide good toner adhesion.

●

The carrier sheet (backing sheet) must be compatible with the
temperature and pressure of the fusing process, and must be
coated for easy release of the top sheet.

●

The adhesive must be stable at the 392° F (200° C) temperature
encountered for 0.1 second in the fusing process, and must not
produce emissions that exceed exposure levels or threshold limits
established by OSHA and other safety agencies. Adhesives must
not come into direct contact with any part of the printer.

A wide selection of suitable labels may be ordered through HewlettPackard. Available sizes are listed in the HP LaserJet Printer Family
Print Media Guide.

C4265-90907

Media Selection Guidelines 53

Transparencies
CAUTION

Tray 1 is required for printing transparencies.
Print transparencies to the Face-up Bin ONLY.
Transparencies used in HP LaserJet printers must be able to
withstand the 392° F (200° C) temperature encountered in the
printer's fusing process for 0.1 second. Suitable transparency film is
available through Hewlett-Packard. See the HP LaserJet Printer
Family Print Media Guide for details.

Storing Print Media
Follow these guidelines when stacking and storing print media:
●

Store paper in its wrapper until ready to use.

●

Re-wrap partially used packages of media before storing.

●

Stack each carton upright and squarely on top of the other.

●

Store envelopes in a protective box to avoid damaging the edges
of the envelopes.

●

Keep stored media away from temperature and humidity
extremes.

●

DO NOT store cartons or reams directly on the floor where they
will absorb a higher moisture content. Instead, place cartons on a
pallet or on shelves.

●

DO NOT store individual reams in a manner that causes them to
curl or warp along the edges.

●

DO NOT stack more than six cartons on top of each other.

●

DO NOT place anything on top of media, regardless of whether
the paper is packaged or unpackaged.

●

DO NOT store printed documents in vinyl folders (which may
contain plasticizers) or expose the documents to petroleumbased solvents.

Shipping Print Media
When shipping print media through different environments, plastic
wrap all cartons on the shipping pallet. When shipping media across
bodies of water, wrap individual cartons as well. Packaging must
protect the media from physical damage.

Service Approach
Repair of the printer normally begins with a three-step process:
●

Step 1: Isolate the problem to the major system (the host
computer, the network and/or server, or the printer system).

●

Step 2: Determine if the problem is located in the paper-handling
devices or in the printer engine.

●

Step 3: Troubleshoot the problem using the procedures in
Chapter 7.

Once a faulty part is located, repair is usually accomplished by
assembly level replacement of Field Replaceable Units (FRUs). Some
mechanical assemblies may be repaired at the subassembly level.
Replacement of components on the printed circuit assemblies is not
supported by Hewlett-Packard.

Ordering Parts
Field replaceable part numbers are listed in Chapter 8 of this manual.
Replacement parts may be ordered from HP's Commercial Service
and Support Organization-Americas (CSSO-A), or Commercial
Service and Support Organization-Europe (CSSO-E).

Service Approach 61

Exchange Program
HP offers remanufactured assemblies for some parts. These are
identified in Chapter 8 and can be ordered through Parts Direct
Ordering (PDO), CSSO-A, or CSSO-E.

Consumables
The printer has two consumables; the toner cartridge and staple
cartridges, which may be ordered directly from Hewlett-Packard. See
Chapter 8 for ordering information.

Toner Cartridge Life
The toner cartridge is designed to simplify replacement of the major
“consumable” parts. The toner cartridge contains the printing
mechanism and a supply of toner.
At 5% page coverage, a toner cartridge is guaranteed to print
approximately 20,000 images (see figure 1-13).

Figure 1-13

Sample 5% Page Coverage

62 Chapter 1 Product Information

C4265-90907

The toner cartridge may print less than 20,000 images if routinely
printing very dense print. Conversely, when routinely printing images
with less coverage (such as short memos), or in EconoMode, the
toner cartridge may print more than 20,000 images. However,
EconoMode does not extend toner cartridge component life.
Note

For best results, always use a new toner cartridge before the expiration
date stamped on the toner cartridge box.

Refilled Toner Cartridges and Non-HP Staple
Cartridges
While Hewlett-Packard does not prohibit the use of refilled toner
cartridges and non-HP staple cartridges during the warranty period or
while under a maintenance contract, their use is not supported for the
following reasons:
●

Repairs resulting from the use of refilled toner cartridges and
non-HP staple cartridges are not covered under the HewlettPackard warranty or maintenance contract.

●

Hewlett-Packard has no control or process to ensure that a
refilled toner cartridge or non-HP staple cartridge functions at the
high level of reliability of a new HP LaserJet toner cartridge or HP
LaserJet staple cartridge. Also, Hewlett-Packard cannot predict
the long term reliability effect on the printer when using different
toner formulations found in refilled cartridges.

●

The print quality of HP LaserJet toner cartridges influences the
customer's perception of the printer. Hewlett-Packard has no
control over the actual print quality of a refilled toner cartridge.

Recycling Toner Cartridges
In order to reduce waste, Hewlett-Packard uses a recycling program
for used toner cartridges. Cartridge components that do not wear out
are recycled, as are plastics and other materials. Hewlett-Packard
pays the shipping costs from the user to the recycling plant. For each
cartridge returned, HP donates one U.S. dollar to be shared by the
Nature Conservancy and the National Wildlife Federation. To join this
recycling effort, follow the instructions inside the toner cartridge box.

Environmental Product Stewardship
Protecting the Environment
Hewlett-Packard Company is committed to providing quality products
in an environmentally-sound manner. The printer has been designed
to minimize impacts on the environment.

The printer design eliminates:
Ozone Production

The printer uses charging rollers in the electrophotographic
process and therefore generates no appreciable ozone gas (03).

CFC Usage

Class I U.S. Clean Air Act stratospheric ozone-depleting
chemicals (chlorofluorocarbons [CFCs], for example) have been
eliminated from the manufacturing of the printer and packaging.

The printer design reduces:
Energy Consumption

For the HP LaserJet 8100 Series,
energy usage drops from 500/505
(110V/220V units) watts (W) during
printing to as little as 35/40 (110V/
220V units) W while in low-power
(Power Save) mode. For the HP
LaserJet 8150 Series, energy usage
drops from 685/685 (110V/220V units) watts (W) during printing
to as little as 37/40 (110V/220V units) W while in inactive,
PowerSave mode. This saves energy without affecting the high
performance of the printer. This product qualifies for the ENERGY
STAR program (U.S. and Japan). ENERGY STAR is a voluntary
program established to encourage the development of energyefficient office products. The ENERGY STAR name is a
registered service mark of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency.
As an ENERGY STAR partner, Hewlett-Packard Company has
determined that this product meets ENERGY STAR Guidelines
for energy efficiency.

Toner Consumption

EconoMode uses about 50% less toner. (HP does not
recommend full-time use of EconoMode.)

68 Chapter 1 Product Information

C4265-90907

Paper use

The printer’s optional duplexing feature, which provides for twosided printing, reduces paper usage and the resulting demands
on natural resources.

The design of the printer facilitates the recycling of:
Plastics

Plastic parts have material identification markings, according to
international standards, which enhance the ability to identify
plastics for proper disposition at the end of the printer’s life.

HP Toner Cartridges

In many countries, this product’s toner cartridge/drum can be
returned to HP using the prepaid shipping label and instructions
included inside each new HP Toner Cartridge box. If your country
is not listed in the recycling guide, call your local HP Sales and
Service Office for further instructions.

HP Cartridge Recycling Program information:
Since 1990, the HP LaserJet Toner Cartridge Recycling Program
has collected more than twelve million cartridges that otherwise
may have been discarded into landfills. Once a cartridge is
returned, it is disassembled and reusable components are
cleaned and inspected for quality conformance. After passing
strict inspection procedures, materials such as nuts, screws, and
clips are reclaimed and used to produce new cartridges.
Remaining materials are melted down and used as raw materials
for a variety of other products. Over 95 percent (%) of the weight
of returned materials is recycled. For more information in the
U.S., call (1) (800) 340-2445 or contact the HP LaserJet Supplies

Safety Statements
Laser Safety Statement
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 printer 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 printer is completely
confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser
beam cannot escape during any phase of normal user operation.

Regulatory Information 73

WARNING!

Using controls, making adjustments, or performing procedures other
than those specified in this user’s guide may result in exposure to
hazardous radiation.

Warranty
This warranty entitles you to standard warranty services for your
printer and accessories and is available from HP worldwide. However,
there may be local variations in the level of warranty service. You
should contact the local HP Service Center to check for the applicable
local warranty in your country or province.

One-Year On-Site Limited Warranty
Hewlett-Packard warrants its computer hardware products against
defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from
purchase by the end user. During the warranty period, HP will, at its
option, either repair or replace products which prove to be defective.
The warranty period begins either on the date of delivery or, where
the purchase price includes installation by Hewlett-Packard, on the
date of installation.
Should HP be unable to repair or replace the product within a
reasonable amount of time, you will be entitled to a refund of the
purchase price if you return the product.
To have your printer serviced by HP you should contact the closest
HP Service Center.

Exclusions
The warranty on your HP LaserJet 8100 Series/8150 Series printer
shall not apply to defects resulting from:

C4265-90907

●

Improper or inadequate maintenance by customer.

●

Customer supplied software or interfacing.

●

Unauthorized modification or misuse.

●

Operation outside of the environmental specifications for the
product.

●

Operation of non-supported printing media.

●

Duty cycle abuse maximum (see the note on the following page).

●

Using a mechanical switchbox with the printer without a
designated surge protector.

●

Improper site preparation and maintenance.

●

Failure to perform key operator maintenance every 350,000
images.

●

Use of non-HP toner cartridges (see the following explanation),
memory boards, interface boards, or staple cartridges.
Warranty 77

Note

The use of non-Hewlett-Packard consumables or accessories alone
does not affect either your warranty or any maintenance contract you
may have purchased. However, if an HP LaserJet printer failure or
damage is found to be attributable directly to the use of a non-HP toner
cartridge, HP will not repair the printer free-of-charge. In this case,
standard time-and-materials charges will be applied to service your
printer for that particular failure or damage.
Operation of the printer beyond the limit of its duty cycle (printing
greater than the equivalent of 150,000 images per month) shall be
deemed printer abuse and all repairs thereafter will be billed on a timeand-materials basis.
If you are using a mechanical switch box, ensure that it is equipped
with a surge protector. Damage to your printer could occur from the use
of unprotected mechanical switch boxes.

Warranty Limitations
The warranty set forth above is exclusive and no other warranty,
whether written or oral, is expressed or implied. Hewlett-Packard
specifically disclaims the implied warranties of merchantability and
fitness for a particular purpose.

Service During the Warranty Period
If your hardware should fail during the warranty period, contact an
authorized HP dealer or an HP Customer Service Center.

Service After the Warranty Period
If your hardware fails after the warranty period, contact an authorized
HP dealer or your local Customer Service Center. If you have an HP
Maintenance Agreement, request service under your agreement.

following points before installing the printer.

Note

●

Install the printer in a well-ventilated, dust-free area, away from
any open windows.

●

Install the printer and peripherals on a hard, flat, and continuous
surface, with all feet level. Do not install on carpet or other soft
surfaces. We recommend the use of the HP Digital Copier with
the HP Digital Copier Stand.

●

Ensure adequate, stable power is supplied. Printer power
requirements are listed in table 2-4, “Electrical Specifications,” on
page 87.

●

Install the printer where there is stable temperature and humidity,
away from water sources, humidifiers, air conditioners,
refrigerators, or other major appliances (see table 2-1 on page
84).

●

Install the printer away from direct sunlight, open flames, or
chemicals. If the printer is placed near a window, make sure the
window is closed and has a curtain or blind to block any direct
sunlight.

●

Install the printer with enough space around the MFP package for
proper access and ventilation (see “Space Requirements” on
page 81).

●

Install the MFP package away from the direct flow of exhaust from
air ventilation, heating, or air conditioning systems.

Be sure to leave enough space to completely extend the optional output
accessory away from the printer.

Settings and Defaults
The printer makes most printing decisions based on either temporary
settings or factory (permanent) defaults.
Note

Settings you send from software applications override printer defaults.
Temporary Settings are the values set for the current print job by
your software application. Temporary settings remain in effect until
the current print job is finished.
Control Panel Defaults are the values entered by selecting a control
panel item and pressing SELECT. An asterisk (*) next to the item name
indicates that it is now the default. The printer retains default settings
even when power is turned off.
Factory Defaults are the permanent default values for each menu
item set at the factory. Factory default values are listed in table 3-3 on
page 97.

Printer Driver Information
When you change a setting from the printer control panel, the new
setting becomes the printer default value. You can override any
Printing Menu setting through most software applications and from
the printer driver.

94 Chapter 3 Operating Overview

C4265-90907

Paper Source Default
The printer paper source is specified by the print job, not the printer
control panel. The following paragraphs apply when the current job
does not specify a paper source. Unless changed or not specified by
the current job, the software application, or the printer driver, the
paper source default is determined by the “Cold Reset Paper Size”
(letter or A4) set in the Service Mode Menu.

C4265-90907

●

If Tray 1 is set to cassette, it will look for the default size.

●

If there is no paper in Tray 1, and Tray 4 of the 2000-sheet Input
Tray is installed and loaded with the Cold Reset Paper Size, the
printer will pull from Tray 4.

●

The printer pulls paper from Tray 5 first if the Optional
2 x 500-sheet Input Tray is installed.

●

If there is no paper in Tray 1, and Tray 4 is not installed, the printer
will pull from the first tray containing the Cold Reset Paper Size.

●

If none of the trays contain the Cold Reset Paper Size, the printer
will prompt the user to put letter or A4 paper in Tray 1.

Performing a Cold Reset
Cold Reset
Cold Reset clears all data from the printer memory and sets all the
defaults back to the factory settings.
CAUTION

Performing a Cold Reset resets the JetDirect configuration. To avoid
making changes to your configuration, remove the JetDirect card
before performing a Cold Reset.
If possible, print a Configuration Page prior to performing a Cold Reset.
This will document current settings for later reference.
To perform a Cold Reset:
1. Turn off the printer.
2

While pressing GO, turn the printer on. COLD RESET appears briefly
on the display, then INITIALIZING appears. After a few seconds,
RESTORING FACTORY SETTINGS appears on the display, followed
by OFFLINE. The Cold Reset is complete.

3. Press GO to return the printer online. READY appears on the
display.

Explanation
This item dedicates printer memory to save each
language’s permanent resources. (You might need to
add memory to the printer in order for this item to
appear.) The amount of memory set aside can be
different for each installed language. Some languages
might have memory set aside for resource saving
without requiring all languages to do so. Any time the
amount of memory dedicated to a specific language is
changed, all languages will lose all saved resources,
including any unprocessed print jobs.
OFF: No language resource saving is performed, and
language-dependent resources, such as fonts and
macros, are lost when language or resolution changes.
ON: An item will appear for each installed language that
allows the user to allocate a particular amount of
memory to that language’s resource saving area. (See
the items below.)
AUTO: The printer automatically determines the amount
of memory to use for each installed language’s
resource saving area.

MAILBOX: Each bin can be addressed individually as
the destination and can have a name assigned to it by
the network or printer administrator.
STACKER: Stacks the output from the lowest bin to the
top, regardless of job boundaries. This operating mode
takes advantage of the total capacity of the bins. The
software sees the multibin mailbox as one logical bin.
JOB SEPARATOR: Automatically separates incoming
jobs, which may have multiple copies, and assigns a bin
to each. It uses all the bins, but the software sees the
multibin mailbox as one logical bin. If a bin is full, the
printer automatically sends the job to the next available
bin.
COLLATOR: Automatically separates multiple prints of
one page. Each printout is delivered in consecutive
bins, starting with the Face-up Bin.

Upgrade HP Digital Copier Firmware
There are three ways to update copy module firmware:
●

HP Digital Sender Configuration Utility

●

PJL datastream through a parallel port

●

HP Resource Manager

All three types of firmware upgrades can be downloaded from the
World Wide Web, and the digital sending configuration utility is also
available on CD-ROM.
Note

If digital sending is being used on the HP LaserJet 8000 Series MFP,
the Digital Sender Configuration Utility is the only method available to
upgrade firmware. Using the DOS parallel upgrade method or the HP
Resource Manager upgrade method will break the digital sending
connection.

HP Digital Sender Configuration Utility upgrade
Before using this method of upgrade, make sure that you have a
license number entered in the digital sending utility or you have the
actual license to enter into the digital sending utility.
1

Locate the specific workstation that has been servicing the MFP
device and that has been administering the digital sending
capability.

2

Confirm that the workstation or server has the correct driver
connection to the MFP. This connection must be in place for the
upgrade to occur.

3

Open the digital sending configuration utility and go to the
configuration tab.

4

Confirm that all the settings are correct.

5

Click on the reinitialize button.

6

The upgrade can take several minutes. This will depend on
whether there are addresses in the address book manager and
how many addresses are being downoaded. A maximum of
200,000 addresses can be downloaded.

7

When the upgrade is complete, the printer and copy module will
restart.

150 Chapter 3 Operating Overview

C4265-90907

PJL Data stream upgrade through a parallel port
The DOS parallel port upgrade can only be used for upgrading copy
capability. If digital sending is being used on the MFP, refer to the
digital sender configuration utility upgrade method.

Note

1

Download and unzip the self-extracting CMFxxx.EXE files from
www.hp.com and copy it to the PC that will be directly connected
to the MFP to perform the upgrade.

2

After expanding, locate the CMFxxx.PJL file and CMFDIR.PJL if
needed. Default directory is C:\TEMP

3

Directly connect the PC to the MFP you want to upgrade, usually
with a parallel cable.

4

Turn the MFP on and wait until the control panel displays READY.

5

If the PC is Windows based, you may have to modify the port
settings so that MS DOS print jobs are not spooled. This is done
in Windows 95/98 by selecting Start, Settings, Printers, choose
the printer using LPT1, select File, Properties, Details, and Port
Settings.

6

Open a DOS window.

7

Change directories to the directory containing the CMFxxx.PJL
file, if necessary.

8

If the copy module firmware directories are available, go to step 9.
If you cannot find the copy module firmware directories, type
copy/b CMFDIRS.PJL lpt1 and press the enter key.

This step may result in a disk error if the directories are on the MFP
hard disk. This temporary error does not indicate a problem with the
disk and will be cleared with a power cycle. The error can be cleared
by pressing the “Go” key.
9

Type copy/b CMFxxx.PJL lpt1 and press the enter key.

10 The MFP control panel should display PROCESSING for about 30

If the Carrier Unit Shaft is dirty, wipe it off with a cloth, then
relubricate it (see below). Otherwise, be careful not to remove the
lubricant.

Lubricating the Carrier Unit Shaft
If necessary, or if the Carrier Unit shaft has been cleaned, place an
even coating of Terrace Oil 46 (light weight oil) on the Carrier Unit
Shaft as needed (for example, if paper dust or other material
interferes with movement of the Carrier Unit, or if you have cleaned
the shaft). See page 559.

Lubricating the Top of the Carrier Guide Rail
If necessary, or if the Carrier Guide Rail has been cleaned, place an
even coating of Alvania Grease No. 2 (white or silicone grease) on the
top of the Carrier Guide Rail as needed.

Lubricating the Flatbed Motor Gears
If necessary, place an even coating of Alvania Grease No. 2 (white or
silicone grease) on the teeth of the Flatbed Motor Gears as needed.

Cleaning the Front Panel
Use a dry cloth to clean the Front Panel Display.

Maintaining the Printer
The user-conducted preventive maintenance cycle for this printer is
every 350,000 images. The part numbers for the preventive
maintenance kits are C3914A for the 100V printers, and C3915A for
the 220V printers. The kits contain the following replacement parts:
one Fusing Assembly, one Transfer Roller Assembly, and eight Feed/
Separation Rollers [two each for Trays 2, 3, the 2000-sheet Input Tray
(Tray 4), and the 2 x 500-sheet Input Tray (Trays 4 and 5)]. See
Chapter 6 of this manual, and the instructions included in the kits for
detailed replacement procedures.
The control panel message, PERFORM PRINTER MAINTENANCE,
indicates that the 350,000 image maintenance is due. After
performing the maintenance procedures:
●

Go to the control panel Configuration Menu and set the SERVICE
MESSAGE= to OFF.

●

Reset PAGES SINCE LAST MAINTENANCE:
a. Turn the printer off.
b. Holding down the VALUE - and ITEM - keys, turn the printer back
on. Wait for Reset Maint/Count to display before releasing the
keys.

The default (350,000) maintenance message interval can be set to
lesser values if needed (50K, 150K, 250K), for printers requiring more
frequent maintenance. This feature is provided for customers using
heavy, rough, or generally out-of-specification media that prematurely
wears out the maintenance parts.

C4265-90907

Maintaining the Printer 167

Maintaining the Copy Module
The Separation Pad and Pick Rollers must be replaced every 60,000
pages through the ADF. To check the “ADF Scans Since Last
Maintenance” counter, print a Configuration Page from the printer’s
Information Menu. You must reset the maintenance counter in service
mode after you replace the maintenance parts (see page 143). For
removal and replacement procedures, see “Copy Module
Maintenance Parts” on page 500. The procedures take approximately
15 minutes.
Symptoms that indicate it is time to replace the maintenance parts
include increasing mispicks and visible wear or polish on the surface
of the Separation Pad or Pick Rollers.
Note

If highly abrasive papers or papers high in calcium carbonate content
are used, replacement intervals may be shorter.

Adjusting Printer Input Trays
Adjusting for Edge-to-Edge Printing
Note

Edge-to-Edge printing is available in the HP LaserJet 8150 Series only.
This feature provides the user with the ability to print within
approximately 2 millimeters of all edges of the page. An internal-tray
calibration page allows the administrator to calibrate each tray. The
calibration page can be printed from each internal tray and the top
tray of an external paper- handling device. The calibration page
cannot be printed from the envelope feeder.
The edge- to- edge print mode is set from the printer driver or the
control panel. It is most common to use the printer driver when
printing individual print jobs.
When set from the control panel, the edge-to-edge feature will remain
in edge- to- edge print mode until turned off from the control panel or
from a print job.
To print a calibration page:

Adjusting Printer Input Trays 169

Adjusting Input Trays for Normal Printing
This procedure applies to Trays 2 and 3 (the standard paper trays in
the printer) and Trays 4 and 5 in the 2 x 500-sheet Input Tray. To
adjust the 2000-sheet Input Tray see “Adjusting the 2000-sheet
Printer Input Tray” on page 172.
The paper trays are mechanically aligned to the printer chassis at the
factory. Perform this procedure ONLY if a paper tray has been
replaced with a tray other than the original factory installed tray, or if
the top margin of the image area is off-center more than 0.5 mm
(0.02 inch). The adjustment procedure is identical for Trays 2, 3, 4,
and 5 from the 2 x 500-sheet Input Tray.
Note

Figure 4-3

Before performing this procedure, check that the margins in your
software application are properly set.

Printer Functional Overview
Figure 5-1 is a functional block diagram of the printer showing the
basic paths for signal, control, and media.

Figure 5-1

Printer Functional Block Diagram

180 Chapter 5 Functional Overview

C4265-90907

Power Distribution System
The AC and DC power supply circuits are contained in the Low
Voltage Power Supply (LVPS). The high voltages required for image
formation are generated by the High Voltage Power Supply (HVPS).
The LVPS and Distribution System is illustrated in figure 5-2. See the
Reference Diagrams at the end of Chapter 7 for more details.

Figure 5-2

C4265-90907

Low Voltage Power Distribution System

Power Distribution System 181

AC Power Distribution
The AC power circuitry supplies AC voltage whenever the power cord
is connected, and the power switch is on. A toner cartridge must be
installed and the top access door must be closed before AC voltage is
supplied to the DC power circuits or the Fusing Assembly.

Overcurrent/Overvoltage Protection
There are two overcurrent/overvoltage devices in this printer:

Figure 5-3

●

The resettable circuit breaker (CB101) shuts off AC input power
to the LVPS in case of an AC overcurrent condition. To reset,
remove the LVPS and press in the circuit breaker button (figure
5-3, callout 1).

●

Fuse 101 interrupts AC input power to the +24V DC and +5V DC
power circuits.

Low Voltage Power Supply

182 Chapter 5 Functional Overview

C4265-90907

High Voltage Power Distribution
The High Voltage Power Supply (HVPS, see figure 5-4) applies a DCbiased AC voltage to the primary charging roller and the developing
roller, and a programmed DC voltage (depending upon the phase of
the printing process) to the Transfer Roller. See the General Timing
Diagram (figure 5-29 on page 236) for HVPS timing information.

Toner Cartridge Detection
A toner level detector inside the toner cartridge is connected to the
HVPS when the toner cartridge is installed. If the toner level drops
below a predefined level, the TONER LOW message will appear on the
display panel. If the toner cartridge is missing, INSTALL TONER
CARTRIDGE will be displayed.

Print Density Adjustment
The high voltage power supply also controls the image density by
varying the voltages applied to the developing cylinder in the toner
cartridge. These voltages determine the amount of toner applied to
the photosensitive drum. Print density is adjusted from the control
panel (Print Quality Menu) or from the driver software.

Formatter System
The Formatter PCA is responsible for the following:
●

Controlling the PowerSave mode.

●

Receiving and processing print data from the various printer
interfaces.

●

Monitoring Control Panel inputs and relaying printer status
information (through the Control Panel and the bidirectional I/O).

●

Developing and coordinating data placement and timing with the
print engine.

●

Storing font information.

●

Communicating with the host computer through the bidirectional
Interface.

The Formatter PCA receives a print job from the bidirectional parallel
port (IEEE 1284) and separates it into image information and
instructions which control the printing process. The DC Controller
synchronizes the Image Formation System with the Paper Input and
Output Systems, and then signals the Formatter to send the print
image data. The Formatter sends the print image data (dots) in the
form of a VIDEO signal to start the printing process.
The Formatter PCA also provides the electrical interface and
mounting locations for three EIO cards, additional memory DIMMs,
the Disk Accessory, the 8-bin Mailbox/5-bin Mailbox with Stapler, the
7-bin Tabletop Mailbox, and the 2 x 500-sheet Input Tray (Trays 4 and
5).

PowerSave
This user-adjustable feature conserves power by shutting down the
fuser and exhaust fans after the printer has been idle for a specified
time. The default for PowerSave is “ON” and can be turned off from
the control panel (Configuration Menu for the HP LaserJet 8100
Series and in the Resets Menu for the HP LaserJet 8150 Series). The
default time setting for the HP LaserJet 8100 Series is 1 hour, and it is
30 minutes for the HP LaserJet 8150 Series. The printer retains all
printer settings, downloaded fonts, and macros while in PowerSave
mode.
The printer exits PowerSave mode and enters the warm-up cycle
when any of the following occurs:
• A print job, valid data, or a PML or PJL command is received at
the parallel port or an EIO card.

C4265-90907

Formatter System 185

• A Control Panel key is pressed.
• Any printer door (except the front access door) is opened and
then closed.
• A paper tray is opened and then closed.
• The Engine Test microswitch is pressed.
Note

Printer error messages override the PowerSave message. The printer
will enter PowerSave mode at the appropriate time, but the error
message will continue to be displayed.

Resolution Enhancement (REt)
The Formatter PCA contains circuitry for Resolution Enhancement
technology (REt), which modifies the standard video dot data on its
way to the DC Controller to produce “smoothed” black-to-white
boundaries. REt is user-controllable (on or off) from the control panel,
or from some software applications. The default setting is on.
Note

REt settings sent from software applications or printer drivers override
the control panel settings.

186 Chapter 5 Functional Overview

C4265-90907

EconoMode
The EconoMode setting uses less toner than the normal printing
mode by reducing the dot density. EconoMode, which is a draftquality printing mode, is user selectable via the control panel (Print
Quality Menu) and some software applications. The default setting is
off.
Note

EconoMode does not affect print speed, memory usage, nor extend
toner cartridge life.

Figure 5-5

Normal Mode vs. EconoMode

C4265-90907

Formatter System 187

DC Controller System
The following systems and functions are controlled by the DC
Controller PCA:
●

DC Power Distribution (+3.3V DC, +5V DC, +24V DC)

●

Laser and Scanner Drive

●

Paper Motion Monitoring and Control (photosensors and flags)

●

Clutches (registration, tray pickup, and Tray 1 feed)

●

Engine Test

●

Motors (Main Drive, Scanner, and Fans)

Figure 5-2 on page 181 shows the Low Voltage Power Supply and
Distribution System. See the wiring diagrams at the end of Chapter 7
for detailed listings of the DC Controller inputs and outputs.

Laser and Scanner Drive
Based on information received from the Formatter, the DC Controller
sends signals to the Laser/Scanner Assembly to modulate the laser
diode on and off and to drive the Laser/Scanner motor. See “Image
Formation System” later in this chapter for more information.

Paper Motion Monitoring and Control
The DC Controller PCA controls paper motion by continuously
monitoring the various paper sensors and coordinating paper
movement with the other print processes.

Clutches
The DC Controller PCA provides drive signals for the Registration
Assembly Clutch (CL1), Paper Input Unit Clutch (CL2), and the Tray 1
Feed Clutch. The External Paper Handling PCA mounted on the
Formatter Assembly provides the control signals for the clutches in
the 2000-sheet Input Tray, 8-bin Mailbox/5-bin Mailbox with Stapler, 2
x 500-sheet Input Tray, and 7-bin Tabletop Mailbox.
Note

Refer to figure 5-2 for details.

188 Chapter 5 Functional Overview

C4265-90907

Engine Test Microswitch
The Engine Test Microswitch, located on the top side of the DC
Controller PCA, is activated manually through the square access hole
at the top right side of the printer (Figure 7-10). This switch causes
the print engine to perform an internal self test diagnostic which
bypasses the Formatter PCA and then prints a full page of black
parallel lines. This test is useful for troubleshooting printer problems
because it isolates the print engine from the Formatter PCA. The
engine test printout prints from Tray 3 only and can be activated with
the Formatter PCA removed. A continuous test is performed
indefinitely if the test button is held in. For more information, see
Engine Test in Figure 7-10.

Motors
See the General Timing Diagram (figure 5-29 on page 236) for
specific timing details for the printer motors.
The Main Motor, MT1, is controlled by the DC Controller PCA. The
Main Motor drives the Main Gear Assembly and rotates during the
Initial Rotation period (following power-on), the Print period, the Last
Rotation Period, or whenever the printer front door is opened and
closed.
The Scanner Motor is controlled and monitored by the DC Controller.
It rotates the laser/scanner mirror during the Initial Rotation period
and the Print period.
The Fan Motors are controlled and monitored by the DC Controller
PCA. All five fans operate at full speed during the printing modes. All
five fans turn off in the PowerSave mode after the Fuser cools down.
The drive signal for the Tray 2 and 3 Paper Pickup Motor, SMT1, is
provided by the DC Controller PCA through the Paper Input Unit (PIU)
PCA mounted on the right side of the PIU. When the job instructions
call for paper to be supplied by Tray 2, SMT1 rotates in a forward
direction and drives the Pickup roller for Tray 2. When paper is
supplied by Tray 3, SMT1 rotates in the reverse direction and drives
the Pickup roller for Tray 3.

C4265-90907

DC Controller System 189

Image Formation System
Laser printing requires the interaction of several different technologies
(such as electronics, optics, and electrophotographics) to provide a
printed page. Each process functions independently and must be
coordinated with the other printer processes. The image formation
process consists of six steps:

C4265-90907

Toner Cartridge
The toner cartridge is the “heart” of the Image Formation System. It
houses the cleaning, conditioning, and developing steps of the
process. The toner cartridge contains the photosensitive drum,
primary charging roller, developing station, toner cavity, and cleaning
station. Including the components that wear, degrade, or are
consumed in a customer-replaceable toner cartridge eliminates the
need for a service call when replacement is required.

Toner Cartridge/High Voltage Power Supply Contacts
The toner cartridge has three contacts that route voltage from the
HVPS PCA. They are:
• Upper: Primary Charge
• Middle: Developing Bias
• Lower: Toner Sensing/Toner Recognition

C4265-90907

Image Formation System 191

The Photosensitive Drum
The image from the Laser/Scanner Assembly is written on the drum
surface, developed, and transferred to the media. The drum is an
aluminum cylinder. The aluminum base of the photosensitive drum is
electrically connected to ground potential. The outside of the cylinder
is coated with a layer of non-toxic organic-photoconductive (OPC)
material. The OPC material becomes electrically conductive when
exposed to light. The drum surface is first cleaned of excess toner,
then conditioned with a uniform negative charge. When an area on
the drum surface is exposed to the laser light beam, the negative
charge in that area is conducted to the ground potential of the drum
base and thus becomes more positive. Areas not exposed to light
remain non-conductive and maintain their negative charge.

Figure 5-7

Photosensitive Drum

192 Chapter 5 Functional Overview

C4265-90907

Drum Cleaning
The cleaning blade inside the toner cartridge is in contact with the
surface of the drum at all times. As the drum rotates during printing,
excess toner is removed from the drum surface and stored in the
waste toner receptacle inside the toner cartridge.

Figure 5-8

C4265-90907

Drum Cleaning

Image Formation System 193

Drum Conditioning
After the drum is physically cleaned, it is conditioned by applying a
uniform negative charge across the surface of the drum with the
primary charging roller, located in the toner cartridge. The primary
charging roller is coated with conductive rubber, charged with an AC
current that erases any residual charges, and produces a uniform
drum surface potential. The AC current is centered around a negative
DC bias which changes according to the Print Density setting.

Figure 5-9

Primary Charging Roller

194 Chapter 5 Functional Overview

C4265-90907

Image Writing
During the writing process, a modulated laser diode projects a beam
onto a rotating six-sided scanning mirror. As the scanning mirror
rotates, the beam is directed through a set of focusing lenses to
another mirror that reflects it through a slot on the top of the toner
cartridge and onto the photosensitive drum. The beam sweeps
across the drum and discharges the negative potential wherever it
strikes the surface. This creates a latent (invisible) electrostatic
image, which is developed into a visible image as the drum rotates
(see figure 5-10).

Figure 5-10

Image Writing
Because the beam is sweeping the entire length of the drum and the
drum is rotating, the entire surface area of the drum can be covered.
The speed of the laser/scanner motor (which turns the scanning
mirror) and the speed of the main motor (which turns the drum) are
synchronized, and each successive sweep of the beam is offset
1/600th of an inch. The beam can be turned on and off to place a dot
of light every 1/600th of an inch. This is how the printer achieves its
600 x 600 dpi resolution. After the writing process, the drum surface
has a latent (invisible) electrostatic image.
At the end of each sweep, the beam strikes the beam detect lens,
generating the Beam Detect (BD) signal. The BD signal is sent to the
DC Controller, where it is converted to an electrical signal used to
synchronize the output of data (VDO) for one sweep (scan line) and to
diagnose problems with the laser diode or laser/scanner motor.

FastRes 1200 (PCL 6 only) is an HP developed technology that can
represent each dot space as one of four different levels of black.
However, FastRes 1200 uses only 2 data bits to store information for
the same dot space. This means that only half as much RAM is
needed to print an image.
FastRes 1200 takes advantage of HP’s new smaller toner particle
(less than 5 microns) to provide superb test and image quality.

Image Developing
The developing process changes the latent electrostatic image into a
visible image by depositing negatively charged toner particles on the
exposed areas of the drum. The developing station is located inside
the toner cartridge and consists of a metallic cylinder that rotates
around a fixed magnetic core.
The developing cylinder is charged with an AC current that is
centered around a negative DC bias. The AC current improves
density and contrast by decreasing the attraction between the toner
particles and the magnetic core of the cylinder. This increases the
repelling action of the toner against the areas of the drum not
exposed to laser light. The negative DC bias applied to the developing
cylinder is also changed according to the Print Density setting. Both
the primary charging roller and developing cylinder DC bias voltages
are changed in response to the density setting. These changes in DC
bias cause either more or less toner to be attracted to the drum, thus
increasing or decreasing print density.
The toner is a powdery substance made of black plastic resin bound
to iron particles. The toner particles are attracted to the magnetic core
of the developing cylinder. A rubber blade “brushes” the toner on the
developing cylinder to a uniform thickness.

C4265-90907

Image Formation System 197

The toner particles obtain a negative static charge by rubbing against
the developing cylinder, which is charged with a negative DC bias.
The negatively charged toner is attracted to the discharged (exposed,
more positive) areas of the drum and repelled from the negatively
charged (non-exposed) areas.

198 Chapter 5 Functional Overview

C4265-90907

Image Transferring and Media Separation
During the image transferring process, the toner image on the drum
surface is transferred to the media. A positive charge applied to the
back of the media by the transfer roller causes the negatively charged
toner particles on the drum surface to be attracted to the media.
The small diameter of the drum, combined with the stiffness of the
media, causes the media to separate easily from the drum. The static
eliminator teeth also help separate the paper from the drum. The
static eliminator teeth weaken the attractive forces between the
negatively charged drum surface and the positively charged paper.
This action keeps thin media from wrapping around the drum. After
separation, the drum is cleaned and conditioned for the next image.

Figure 5-12

C4265-90907

Image Transferring and Media Separation

Image Formation System 199

Image Fusing
The Fusing Assembly bonds the toner particles into the media with a
heated fusing roller and a soft pressure roller. There are two levers on
the Fusing Assembly that adjust roller pressure for single sheets
(down position) or envelopes (up position). Both levers must be set to
the same position.
The fusing roller contains two quartz-halogen lamps that provide heat
for the fusing process. Fusing temperature is monitored by the DC
Controller PCA via thermistor TH1. The DC Controller maintains a
temperature of about 190° C during print mode. If the fusing system
overheats (about 230° C), TH1 opens, interrupting power to the fusing
heater, causing a 50.X FUSER ERROR. If the fusing system exceeds
230° C, the thermal fuse opens, moving power away from the fuser.

Printing from Tray 1
The presence of paper in Tray 1 is detected by the Tray 1 Paper
Present Sensor (PS1301). The lifting plate pressurization solenoid
(SL2) is then activated, releasing the plate that applies upward
pressure on the paper and causing it to contact the Tray 1 pickup
roller. The Tray 1 Feed Clutch (CL3) turns on at this time and feeds
the paper from Tray 1 to the registration position.
The remainder of the Tray 1 print process is identical to the Tray 2 and
3 process, described in “Printing from Tray 1” on page 205.

Printing from Trays 2 and 3
The Pickup, Feed, and Separation rollers start rotating when the DC
Controller receives the /PRNT signal from the Formatter PCA. Then,
the DC Controller activates the Pickup Solenoid (SL1) and starts
feeding paper through the Paper Input Unit (PIU), triggering
photosensors PS2 and then PS1. These sensors inform the DC
Controller that paper has passed through the PIU and is present at
the Registration Assembly.
When the Laser/Scanner and Fuser are ready, the DC Controller
sends the /VSREQ signal to the Formatter. When the Formatter has
processed the print data, it sends the /VSYNC and /VDO signals to
the DC Controller. The paper is then released from the Registration
Assembly (by CL1) and fed to the photosensitive drum, starting the
image transfer and fusing processes. After the paper passes through
the Fuser, it triggers PS1403 and PS1402 to the specified type, size,
and destination of the paper being fed through the printer.

C4265-90907

Paper Paths and Components 205

Printing from the Envelope Feeder
The Envelope Feeder mounts in slots above Tray 1. The printer can
print from Tray 1 even during the installation of the Envelope Feeder.
When the print job calls for an envelope, it is fed directly to the
Registration Assembly. From there, the print process is identical to the
Tray 2 and 3 process, described in “Printing from Tray 1” on page 205.

Printing with the Duplexer
The duplexer mounts inside the printer below the Fusing Assembly.
The back side of the paper is printed first, the paper is turned over,
and then fed back to the Registration Assembly for front side printing.
When the print job calls for 2-sided printing, a solenoid in the duplexer
operates the duplex flipper in the Diverter Assembly and routes the
paper to the duplexer. The paper does not exit the printer when being
turned over for 2-sided printing. It is routed through a slot in the back
of the duplexer, down inside the left cover and under Tray 3. When the
duplexer senses the trailing edge of the paper, it reverses direction
and feeds the paper back through the duplexer to the Registration
Assembly.

When the Paper Handling Controller on the printer sends an input
command to the Controller PCA on the 2000-sheet Input Tray, the
Paper Deck Driver runs the Pickup Motor to rotate the Pickup, Feed,
and Separation Rollers. As the Pickup Roller turns, the paper feeds
into the Vertical Transfer Unit (VTU) and passes through the PS31
and PS32 sensors.
If the paper fails to reach the PS31 and PS32 sensors in the VTU
within the allotted time, the Controller PCA on the 2000-sheet Input
Tray assumes that a paper jam has occurred. The 2000-sheet Input
Tray stops the operation and reports the paper jam to the Paper
Handling Controller on the printer. A paper jam message appears on
the printer control panel display.
Hardware malfunctions are also displayed on the printer control
panel.

210 Chapter 5 Functional Overview

C4265-90907

Lifter Operation
The lifter plate in the 2000-sheet Input Tray’s paper tray is held by two
wires that are wound on four pulleys by the Lifter Motor. When the
paper tray is open, the pulley gears disengage from the motor gears,
and the Lifter lowers by its own weight. The presence or absence of
the tray is detected by switches SW701 through SW704 on the unit’s
Paper/Tray Size Switch Assembly.
After the paper tray is closed, the Lifter Motor lifts the paper stack into
position; this action is detected by the PS34 sensor. The PS34 sensor
also maintains the height of the paper stack. As paper is picked up by
the rollers, the number of sheets decreases. Once the paper stack
decreases to a certain level, the PS34 sensor registers a low
condition. Then the Paper Deck Driver turns on the Lifter Motor again
and lifts the paper stack until the PS34 sensor registers sufficient
paper in the tray.

Power Supply
The 2000-sheet Input Tray has an internal Power Supply that
activates when the printer’s power switch is turned on. The Paper
Handling Controller on the printer sends a power-on signal to the
Power Supply on the 2000-sheet Input Tray through the Controller
PCA on the 2000-sheet Input Tray. When the signal is high, the Power
Supply provides both +24V and +5V to the Paper Deck Driver. The
+24V drives the motors, clutches, and solenoids for the lifter, feed,
and pickup systems. The +5V drives the sensors and PCA
electronics.

Printing from the 2000-sheet Input Tray (Tray 4) or 2 x
500-sheet Input Tray (Trays 4 and 5)
Trays 4 and 5 feed the paper upward through a guide slot in the Lower
Right Door Assembly to the Paper Input Unit. Once there, the
operation is the same as printing from Trays 2 and 3, described in
“Printing from Tray 1” on page 205.

Communication and control of the input device are made through the
Paper Handling Controller by a sequence of instructions controlled

sensor PS1207. The paper level is detected by switches SW1205 and
SW1206 in the upper tray, and by switches SW1203 and SW1204 in
the lower tray. The paper size is detected by switches SW1601
through SW1604 installed in each tray.

When the Paper Handling Controller in the printer sends an input
command to the Controller PCA on the 2 x 500-sheet Input Tray, the
2 x 500-sheet Input Tray driver engages the Pickup Motor to rotate
the Pickup, Feed, and Separation Rollers. The direction of rotation of
the Pickup motor determines which set of rollers are activated. When
the motor rotates clockwise, the paper is picked up from the upper
tray, and when the motor rotates counterclockwise, the paper is
picked up from the lower tray.The 2 x 500-sheet Input Tray driver also
engages the 2 x 500-sheet Input Tray motor to activate the Pickup
Solenoid, which lowers the rollers to the level of the paper. As the
Pickup Roller turns, the paper feeds into the Vertical Transfer Unit
(VTU) and passes through the PS1 and PS2 sensors.

214 Chapter 5 Functional Overview

C4265-90907

If the paper fails to reach the PS1 and PS2 sensors in the VTU within
the allotted time, the Controller PCA on the 2 x 500-sheet Input Tray
assumes that a paper jam has occurred. The 2 x 500-sheet Input Tray
stops the operation and reports the paper jam to the Paper Handling
Controller on the printer. A paper jam message appears on the printer
control panel display.
Hardware malfunctions are also displayed on the printer control
panel.

Lifter Operation
The 2 x 500-sheet Input Tray drive motor lifts the paper when a tray is
installed and when the pickup roller is lowered as a result of a partially
filled tray.
When a tray is installed, the Paper Pickup Solenoid SL3 is turned on.
The movements of the shaft drive arm and the lift-up release arm free
the lift-up cam. This advances the lifter gear one tooth at a time,
raising the lifting plate. When the paper on the lifting plate engages
the pickup roller, the lift-up cam is stopped from rotating, and the
lifting operation is completed.
When the paper falls below a set level, the actions are the same to lift
the plate, except the position of the pickup roller (which is lowered as
paper is used) triggers the lift-up release arm to free the lift-up cam,
advancing the lifter gear. The lifting operation terminates the same
way in both cases, triggered by contact between the paper in the tray
and the pickup roller.

Power Supply
The 2 x 500-sheet Input Tray has an internal power supply activated
when the printer power switch has been turned on. The Paper
Handling Controller sends a power-on signal to the power supply
through the 2 x 500-sheet Input Tray controller. When the signal is
high, the power supply provides +24V and +5V to the paper deck
driver. The +24V is used to drive the lifter, Feed, Pickup motors,
clutches, and solenoids; +5V drives sensors and PCA electronics.

7-bin Tabletop Mailbox Operation
The 7-bin Tabletop Mailbox is a low cost output device designed to
support different printer platforms at variable engine input speeds and
to increase office productivity. The mailbox has a total capacity of 940
sheets distributed in 7x120 Face-down bins and a 1x100 Face-up Bin,
and works with four intelligent and configurable operating modes.
An additional optional product, the Stand for the 7-bin Tabletop
Mailbox, allows the customer to attach the mailbox in a floor stand
configuration when an input device is attached to the printer.

Power-on Sequence
During the power-on sequence, the mailbox runs an initialization
routine. The motor will perform a complete cycle and solenoid S2, S3,
and S4 will be activated in that order. At the end of this routine, the
front cover LED will display a fixed green light, but if there is a
problem, the LED will flash red.
The information from the paper handling controller is carried by the
C-link cables that connect the controller board for all of the C-link
protocol-supported devices. The C-link protocol supports up to 5
devices connected to the paper handling controller in a Daisy Chain.
Each device controller has an input and output port that provides
them the flexibility of connection in different configurations. However,
HP recommends using the configuration shown in figure 5-28 on
page 234 to avoid rearrangements in the supported device
numbering and confusion when evaluating the event log.

Receiving Paper
The engine delivers paper to the mailbox through the Face-up
Delivery Slot (input paper guide) at 107 mm/sec. The entry sensor
(ES) senses paper arrival, and then the Face-up/down Diverter
Solenoid actuates only if the paper is going to the Face-up Bin. If the
paper has to reach any Face-down Bin, this solenoid will not actuate
and the paper will go into the reversing area.

218 Chapter 5 Functional Overview

C4265-90907

Delivering Paper
If the paper is going to the Face-up Bin, the Face-up Delivery Sensor
(FUDS) waits for the paper to reach the Face-up Bin. When the bin is
full, the paper will actuate the Face-up Bin full sensor (FUBFS).
If the paper is sent to any of the Face-down bins, the reversing
mechanism will be activated by the reversing mechanism solenoid
(S2). The paper path sensor 1 (PPS1) will wait for paper, and the
correct diverter solenoid will actuate to deliver the paper in the correct
bin (S3 if the paper is going to bin numbers 1 through 3 or S4 for bin
number 2).
If the paper has to reach other bins, then the paper path sensor 2
(PPS2) will be waiting for it. In the same way, S3 will be activated if
the paper final destination is bin number 5, and if not, then S4 will be
activated to reach bins 4 through 6. Finally, if the paper destination is
bin number 7, none of the solenoids will be actuated. When a specific
bin is full, then the paper will actuate the corresponding Face-down
Bin full sensor (BFS1 to 7). The unit can report an empty bin condition
to the engine based on the empty bin sensors (BES1 to 7).

Configuring the Operating Modes
The network administrator chooses the mode of operation through an
HP network configuration utility, such as HP JetAdmin or HP LaserJet
utility. You must set up your printer driver to reflect the mode chosen
by the administrator.
Bidirectional environment: The printer automatically selects the
mode established by the network administrator.
Unidirectional environment: The mode of operation can be
changed in the driver. The method for changing the mode varies with
the driver and type of operating system. For additional information,
see the online help for the printer software.

Configurable Mailbox Mode (Default Configuration)
In this mode, each bin can be addressed individually as the output
destination and can have a name assigned to it by the network or
printer administrator. All the jobs are placed in the Face-down bins. If
the assigned bins are full, the printer halts or sends the next pages to
the overflow bin, as defined by the MIS manager.

C4265-90907

Paper Paths and Components 219

Job Separator Mode

Note

●

Print jobs are automatically sent one job per bin to the first empty
bin beginning with the top bin. Non-empty bins are skipped. If all
bins have paper, then the job will be sent to the first non-full bin
starting at the top.

●

If a bin fills during delivery, the system will stop. A control panel
message indicates that paper needs to be removed before
delivery to that bin can continue. Delivery of the job resumes in
the same bin when paper is removed.

●

To clear a device full condition, empty all bins.

Use of an overflow bin can cause a job to be mixed in two bins.

Virtual Stacker Mode
In Virtual Stacker Mode, printed sheets are stacked face down in the
bins from the lowest bin to the top bin, regardless of job boundaries.
This mode of operation takes advantage of the total capacity of the
mailbox bins. The software sees the mailbox as one logical bin. When
the mailbox is full, the system will halt until all bins are emptied.

Collator Mode

Note

●

Mopies of a print job are automatically sent one mopy per bin
beginning with the top bin.

●

If there are more mopies than bins, the delivery resumes
sequentially from the top bin until all mopies are delivered.

●

If a bin fills during delivery, the system will stop. A control panel
message indicates which bin is full, and will display a request to
remove paper. Delivery of the mopy resumes in the same bin
when paper is removed.

●

To clear a device full condition, empty all bins.

Use of an overflow bin can cause a job to be mixed in two bins.

8-bin Mailbox Operation
Power-on Sequence
During the power-on sequence, the Delivery Head Assembly moves
first to the top “home” position at the Face-up Bin. From that position
the delivery head moves down, scanning to determine if all the
Mailbox bins are installed, if they contain paper, and if they are full.
Then the Delivery Head proceeds upward again to the home position
and remains there for about 7 seconds. Finally, the Delivery Head
Assembly moves to the bottom bin, where it waits for the next
command from the Paper Handling Controller.
Note

If one of the bins has been removed or is not seated correctly, the
Delivery Head Assembly will not complete the scan and will send an
error message to the printer control panel.

Receiving Paper
The printer delivers paper to the 8-bin Mailbox through the left output
delivery slot (Input Paper Guide) at a rate of 107 mm per second.
Paper arrival is sensed by the PSEntry sensor, which activates the
Flipper Roller Motor (M2), causing the paper to move through the 8bin Mailbox transport and delivery system. See figure 5-23 on
page 222.

Delivering Paper
The Delivery Head Assembly on the 8-bin Mailbox moves or stays in
the indicated bin according to the commands coming from the Paper
Handling Controller on the printer. If paper is designated for the Faceup Bin, the 8-bin Mailbox feeds it through the Flipper Assembly. If
paper is designated for one of the Face-down bins, the 8-bin Mailbox
feeds it through the Flipper Assembly until the trailing edge is sensed
by the PSFaceUp sensor. Then the Flipper Roller Motor (M2)
reverses and feeds the paper down between the Transport Belt and
the Metal Tape until it reaches the Delivery Head Assembly.

Configuring the Operating Modes
The network administrator chooses the mode of operation through an
HP network configuration utility, such as the HP JetAdmin utility or the
HP LaserJet utility for the Macintosh. Additionally, on all workstations
that print to the printer, the printer driver might need to be set up to
reflect the chosen operating mode.

C4265-90907

Paper Paths and Components 225

Mailbox Mode
In Mailbox Mode, the network administrator can address each bin as
an output destination with a name assigned to it. The printer sends a
print job to the selected bin. If the assigned bin is full, the printer
either stops printing or sends subsequent pages to the overflow bin,
which is also defined by the network administrator.

Job Separator Mode

Note

●

Print jobs are automatically sent one job per bin to the first empty
bin beginning with the top bin. Non-empty bins are skipped. If all
bins have paper, the job will be sent to the first non-full bin
starting at the top.

●

If a bin fills during delivery, the system will stop. A control panel
message indicates that paper needs to be removed before
delivery to that bin can continue. Delivery of the job resumes in
the same bin when paper is removed.

●

To clear a device full condition, empty all bins.

Use of an overflow bin can cause a job to be mixed in two bins.

Virtual Stacker Mode
In Virtual Stacker Mode, printed sheets are stacked face down in the
bins from the lowest bin to the top bin, regardless of job boundaries.
This mode of operation takes advantage of the total capacity of the
mailbox bins. The software sees the mailbox as one logical bin. When
the mailbox is full, the system will halt until all bins are emptied.

Finisher Components
The 5-bin Mailbox with Stapler is an output-Finisher paper-handling
device designed to work with different HP LaserJet printers. It has
both mailbox and stapling capability. The stapler unit output bin
staples up to 20 sheets (letter and A4,) 20-lb paper), and has a total
capacity of 350 stapled sheets.
In addition, this component has 5 Face-down bins with a capacity of
250 sheets each, and 1 Face-up Bin with a capacity of 100 sheets, for
a total capacity of 1350 non-stapled sheets. The 8-bin Mailbox and
the 5-bin Mailbox with Stapler have similar functionality, performance,
and parts. The stapler fits into the Mailbox by removing the three
upper bins and the blind cover (see figure 8-14 on page 768 for
location of the blind cover).

Stapler Cycles

Note

For information on the 3,000-sheet Stapler/Stacker, see HP 3,000sheet Stapler/Stacker Service Manual Supplement for Paper-Handling
Accessories (C4788-90904).

Paper Feed Cycle
The stapler bed assembly receives the paper from the 8-bin Mailbox/
5-bin Mailbox with Stapler Head assembly. The IR Sensor detects
when the paper arrives in the stapler. The Retainer (a shaft holding
two rubber flexible fingers or anti-curl fingers) rotates once to apply
pressure down and backward. This action forces the paper to register
against the rear wall of the stapler bed, as well as reduces paper curl.
The Registration Pusher (located in the right side of the Top
Assembly) registers the paper against the left wall of the stapler bed.
This cycle is repeated until the amount of sheets to be stapled is
reached (with a maximum of 20).

232 Chapter 5 Functional Overview

C4265-90907

Stapling Cycle
The Sliders move the stack of sheets to the stapling position. The
Registration Pusher applies slight pressure to the stack of sheets
toward the left wall of the stapler bed where the stapler is located.
Then the stack of sheets is stapled.

Eject Cycle
The stapler bed sliders offset the stacks or jobs. The Off-Set Pusher
(located in the left side of the Top Cover Assembly) pushes the stack
towards the right side of the stapler bed, whenever it applies. The
Sliders move the stack of paper from stapling position to eject
position, which is out of the stapler bed (reaching the Wire Frame
level). The Wire Frame directs the stack of paper. The Exit Flap
Assembly moves down to prevent the job from returning to the stapler
bed. The Sliders retract to home position, letting the stack of sheets
fall into the output bin. The capacity of the output bin is 350 stapled
sheets in jobs of five sheets or equivalent combinations.

Communication Link (Daisy Chain)
Communication Link (C-link) devices include:
●

C-link Input Devices:
• 2000-sheet Input Tray
• 2 x 500-sheet Input Tray

●

C-link Output Devices:
• 8-bin Mailbox
• 5-bin Mailbox with Stapler (Includes a Finisher)
• 7-bin Tabletop Mailbox
• 3,000-sheet Stacker
• 3,000-sheet Stapler/Stacker

Communication and control of the C-link devices is through the paper
handling controller mounted on the printer's formatter PCA. The
C-link devices (C-link protocol) have their own power supply and
controller board that receives signals and commands from the paper
handling controller. This communication is illustrated in figure 5-28.

Paper Jam Detection
The PIU Sensor (PS2), the Registration Sensor (PS1), the Fuser
Delivery Sensor (PS1403), and the Face-down Delivery Sensor
(PS1402) detect paper moving through the printer (see figure 5-15 on
page 204 and table 5-1 on page 202 for a description of each sensor
and illustration of its locations). If a paper jam is detected, the DC
Controller immediately stops the printing process and causes a
13.x PAPER JAM message to be displayed on the control panel. If a
paper jam occurs in the Envelope Feeder, Duplexer, 2000-sheet Input
Tray, 8-bin Mailbox/5-bin Mailbox with Stapler, 2 x 500-sheet Input
Tray, or 7-bin Tabletop Mailbox, the 13.x Paper Jam message will
indicate the approximate location. See Chapter 7 for more details.

Printer Timing
The Formatter PCA and the DC Controller PCA share information
during printer operation. This information consists of printer status,
command, and dot-image data. Figure 5-29 shows the general timing
of the printer events. Table 5-11 lists the events that take place during
normal printer operation.

Copy Module Power Up Process
Copy Processor Board
There are 4 main stages of the power-up process of the Copy
Processor. Each of the four stages are represented by an icon
displayed on the Digital Copier's front panel. If a Digital Copier does
not successfully boot up, the icons displayed will assist the field
technician in diagnosing the failure.
While first power-up icon is displayed:
1

The 16-bit Motorola 68306 microprocessor boots itself from the
ROM.

2

The Copy Processor performs minimum checks (Level-1 checks)
on ROM.

3

The Copy Processor polls the keypad for initial key status (to
determine whether to start up in Service Mode).

4

The Copy Processor begins performing self-checks. (During
Level II checks on the Copy Processor, the user can let go of any
keys held down. This is a short phase with no animation.)

While second power-up icon is displayed:
5

The connection to the printer starts over the IEEE 1394 interface
and looks for the printer. This stage may take more time if the
printer is not powered on and ready. If the printer is not available,
the Copy Processor continuously monitors the bus to find one.
Therefore, the power-on order between the printer and the Copy
Module does not matter.

While third power-up icon is displayed:
6

The unit begins download of the Copy Module Firmware (CMF)
from the printer's hard disk to the Copy Processor's DRAM. This
may take up to two minutes, although 60-70 seconds is most
typical. The hourglass icon is animated during this time and a
progress bar is displayed.

242 Chapter 5 Functional Overview

C4265-90907

While fourth power-up icon is displayed:

Note

C4265-90907

7

When the download is complete, the unit begins a checksum test
on download, initializes the system, and continues to display the
icons until it can display the HP Digital Copier Module's main
menu.

8

Initial key state and Level II failure (if any) are written to the
Display Manager and are reported to the Front Panel as Boot
Error XXXX. See “Boot Errors” on page 721 for a definition of
XXXX.

9

The microprocessor jumps to the code in DRAM and never
returns to the code in ROM. Then the Copy Module Operating
System starts up in Service Mode, if the user was pressing the
appropriate keys when power-up began (see Step 3), or the main
menu is displayed.

Icons are drawn at the start of the stage. If the stage fails, the icon will
be overdrawn with the error icon.

Printer components of copy module power up
process
▼

Note

The Scanner Service Agent is part of the copy module firmware that
loads from the printer's hard disk drive into the printer's RAM on power
up. When this happens, you see Loading Program 1 or Loading
Program 2 on the front panel of the printer. This program runs
continuously, instructing the printer how to handle requests and
information from the copy module.
▼

Note

The printer performs startup procedures.

The printer loads the Scanner Service Agent from the printer hard
disk drive. Loading Program 1 or Loading Program 2 displays
on the printer’s Front Panel. Additional programs may be added
later for support of additional functionality.

The units must be power cycled once the copy module firmware is
installed.

Notes About the MFP Printer Product ID
Versions 5.32 and older firmware for the copy module stored a
product ID in NVRAM and also on the hard disk. With an older version
of firmware and no product ID in NVRAM or on the hard disk, the copy
module will hang on icon 2 of the copy module control panel when
you turn it on. If this problem occurs, download the latest version of
copy module firmware from http://www.hp.com. Version 5.40 or later
firmware will work with a LaserJet 8000, 8100, 8150, Moper 240 and
Mopier 320 and does not require a product ID.
The only way to remove the product ID is to perform an NVRAM
initialization.
CAUTION

C4265-90907

There are different methods of downloading firmware for the copy
module. There is one method for downloading when using digital
sending and one method for downloading when using the copy
functionality only. See “Upgrade HP Digital Copier Firmware” on
page 150

Copy Module Power Up Process 245

ADF Simplex Operation
▼

The user inputs commands (through the touch screen and
buttons) which are then sent to the Copy Processor Board.

▼

The Copy Processor displays the appropriate screens on the
copy module’s LCD based on the user’s inputs. The screens
displayed are based on the screens downloaded from the printer.

▼

The user presses the START button and the copy module receives
the ADF read command. (The ADF or flatbed is determined by
the ADF paper loaded sensor.)

▼

The bottom document placed face-down in the chute is fed
through the ADF. Paper size is detected by the Paper Size
Sensor (A3, A4, B4, B5). This will tell the ADF Motor when to
stop.

▼

The Carrier Unit reads the white reference and then moves to the
ADF read position.

▼

The ADF Motor starts to feed the paper. The top sensor detects
the edge of the page.

▼

The copy module counts the number of motor pulses to reach the
end of the page. It also determines mispicks, double or misfeeds,
and end of page when the data ends.

▼

The image is scanned by the copy module engine, as explained
on page 249.

▼

The page is stacked in the output tray. This process repeats until
the chute is empty.

●

The ADF Motor stops and the copy module awaits the next
command.

246 Chapter 5 Functional Overview

C4265-90907

ADF Duplex Operation
▼

The user inputs the duplex command from the touch screen on
the Front Panel.

▼

Frontside data is the same as simplex operation.

▼

Both the backside and frontside are copied simultaneously by two
Charge Coupled Device (CCD) arrays on the HP Digital Copier.
(A Charge Coupled Device is a miniature photometer that
measures light and converts the measured value to analog
voltage.)

▼

Backside data is copied and stored into the backside image
buffer residing on the copy engine.

●

After the frontside buffer has been sent to the Copy Processor,
the data stored in the backside buffer is then sent to the Copy
Processor.

Flatbed Operation

Note

C4265-90907

▼

The user inputs commands (through the touch screen and
buttons) which are then sent to the Copy Processor Board.

▼

The Copy Processor displays the appropriate screens on the
copy module’s LCD based on the user’s inputs. The screens
displayed are based on the screens downloaded from the printer.

▼

The user presses the START button and the copy module looks
for paper loaded in the ADF. If no paper is found, the copy module
receives the flatbed read command.

The user interface is identical from ADF copy to flatbed copy.
▼

The Carrier Unit reads the white reference and then moves to the
right to read from the flatbed glass and proceeds in steps for user
specific paper length.

▼

The copy engine scans the image (see page 249).

●

The Carrier Unit returns to the home position and the HP Digital
Copier awaits the next command.

Copy Module Image Path

Figure 5-32

Image path (1 of 2)
Step 1: The light source illuminates a horizontal strip of the image
called the raster line.
Step 2: Reflected light is gathered and guided by lenses and a series
of mirrors and is then captured by a 4864 pixel element Charge
Coupled Device (CCD) array. The CCD converts analog voltages into
raw digital grayscale information.
Step 3: Raw digital image data is sent from the copy module’s CCD to
PM-44s. The PM-44s convert raw digital information into a printer
ready bit stream, dithered black and white with layouts such as N-up,
duplex, staple, and so forth, and sends it to the printer via the 1394
cable. Data format is strip buffer raster data. The copy module
firmware on the printer adds Printer Job Language (PJL) control
commands later.

C4265-90907

Copy Module Image Path 249

Repeat: One horizontal line or raster line of the image is captured in a
step and the Carrier Unit or ADF mechanically moves to the next
step. The distance moved determines the subscan sampling rate (1/
300 inch = 300 ppi, 1/600 = 600 ppi).
Note

Pages load face down on the ADF. The backside optics are in the ADF
above the frontside optics, which are in the Carrier Unit, below the
glass.

250 Chapter 5 Functional Overview

C4265-90907

Communication with the Printer
Note

The Copy Connect EIO is essentially a pass through device.
▼

Data is handed from the Copy Connect EIO to the Scanner
Service Agent (SSA), which is part of the copy module firmware
that runs in the printer’s RAM and shows Loading Program 1 on
the printer’s Front Panel when loaded successfully.

▼

The copy module firmware adds several Printer Job Language
(PJL) control codes to set resolution, printer language and page
layout.

●

The data stream goes around the printer’s normal image
processing system directly into page memory. This allows for the
high speed at which copied pages can be printed.

Communication Channels
●

Image data: high speed uni-directional 1394 channel

●

All other communications: bidirectional 1394 channel

Print Job Interrupt
There are two levels at which a user can interrupt a network print job
to make a copy on the copy module:

C4265-90907

●

Low priority - when you place a document in the ADF or touch
any of the buttons on the copy module, all incoming network jobs
are held until the copy module is finished copying.

●

High priority - Select JOB INTERRUPT on the touch screen. The
current mopy job is interrupted at the copy boundary. For
instance, if the printer is printing copy 3 of 5, it will finish copy 3
and hold copies 4 and 5 until the copy module is finished copying.

Removal and Replacement Strategy
This chapter documents the removal and replacement of major
assemblies.
Replacement is generally the reverse of removal. Occasionally,
directions for difficult or critical replacement procedures are included.
WARNING!

Unplug the power cord from the power outlet before attempting to
service the printer. If this warning is not followed, severe injury may
result.
Never operate or service the printer with the protective cover removed
from the Laser/Scanner assembly. The reflected beam, although

Formatter Assembly
Setting Page Count, Maintenance Count,
and Serial Number
The page count, maintenance count, and printer serial number are
stored in Non-Volatile Memory. PAGECOUNT is the total number of
images printed by the printer, MAINTCOUNT is the page count when
the next preventive maintenance should be performed (every 350,000
images), and S.N. is the printer serial number (also located on the
printer back cover).
If necessary to replace the Formatter PCA, these numbers should be
set to the current values to accurately reflect the usage of the print
engine. The procedures for setting these values are listed in table
3-24 on page 141.
Before removing the old Formatter PCA, print a Configuration
Page to verify the current values.
Note

If it is not possible to print a Configuration Page, try to verify the values
before replacing the Formatter PCA by following steps 1 through 3,
below.
After verifying the page count, maintenance count, and printer serial
number from the old Formatter PCA, replace it with the new PCA.

Troubleshooting Process
The troubleshooting process is a systematic approach that addresses
the major problems first and then other problems as you identify the
causes for printer malfunctions and errors. If you know the cause of a
problem in the printer system, go directly to that area. Otherwise, use
the troubleshooting process diagrams starting on the next page. The
diagrams illustrate the major steps for troubleshooting the printing
system. In the diagrams starting on page 577, each heading depicts a
major troubleshooting step. A YES answer to the questions allows
you to proceed to the next major step.
A NO answer indicates that additional testing is needed. Proceed to
the referenced location and follow the directions for that area. After
completing the additional testing, proceed to the next major step.

Troubleshooting Process 581

Troubleshooting the Print System
Preliminary Operating Checks
Prior to troubleshooting a specific printer problem, you should ensure
that:
●

The printer is being maintained on a regular basis as described in
Chapter 4.

●

The customer is using acceptable paper as specified in the HP
LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide.

●

The printer is positioned on a solid, level surface.

●

The line voltage does not vary more than 10% from the nominal
rated value as specified on the Power Rating Label.

●

The operating environment for the printer and paper is within the
temperature and humidity specifications listed in Chapter 1 of this
manual.

●

The printer is never exposed to ammonia fumes such as those
produced by diazo copiers or office cleaning materials.

●

The printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.

●

Non-HP components (such as refilled Toner Cartridges, font
cartridges, and memory boards) are removed from the printer.

Note

When moving the printer into a warm room from a cold location such
as a warehouse, various problems can occur due to condensation in
the printer. For example, if the photosensitive drum is cold, the
resistance of the photoconductive layer will be high. This will lead to
incorrect contrast. Leave the printer running for 10 to 20 minutes.

Note

For information on the 3,000-sheet Stapler/Stacker, see HP 3,000sheet Stapler/Stacker Service Manual Supplement for Paper-Handling
Accessories (C4788-90904).

582 Chapter 7 Troubleshooting

C4265-90907

Communication
Ask the customer to run a print job from the host system. If the print
job is successful, communication to the printer is ensured.

Interface Troubleshooting

Figure 7-7

Communications Link (C-link) Cables, Supported Daisy Chain
Connections

Note

If the 7-bin Tabletop Mailbox is sitting on a tabletop instead of on a
stand, it is the first device in the daisy chain.
All C-link cables have a single dot molded into the device output
connector cable end, and two dots molded into the device input
connector cable end.

Note

It is important that the C-link cables are installed in the supported daisy
chain configuration as shown in figure 7-7. This is so that the devices
are recognized and correctly reported on the Event Log.
It is possible, but not recommended, to attach the C-link cables in other
configurations. This will rearrange the supported device numbering.
Keep this configuration in mind when evaluating the Event Log.

C4265-90907

Troubleshooting the Print System 583

If any of the installed devices are not shown on the configuration
page, verify that the C-link cabling is correctly connected and
functional (figure 7-7) and that DC power is available to the paper
handling devices. Check and reseat suspect cable connections. If any
of the cables are replaced, you must cycle the power to have the
printer recognize the device again.

584 Chapter 7 Troubleshooting

C4265-90907

Network Troubleshooting
This section provides an overview of the printer’s interface
requirements.
Note

Communication problems are normally the customer’s responsibility.
Refer the customer to the network administrator for assistance in
troubleshooting network problems.

Test Message
After the printer is installed, verify communications between the
printer and the IBM-compatible computer. Enter the following at the
DOS prompt:
C:\DIR>LPT1 ENTER (for printing to parallel port #1)
The printer should print a directory listing of the C:\ directory.

EIO Troubleshooting
The JetDirect Configuration Page shown in figure 7-8 on page 586
contains valuable information about the current status of the EIO
accessories. Before attempting to troubleshoot a network problem or
notifying your network consultant of a problem, always print a
Configuration Page from the Control Panel’s Information Menu. If an
EIO accessory is installed, the JetDirect Configuration Page prints
too.
See the HP JetDirect Network Interface Configuration Guide for
detailed explanations of network issues.

C4265-90907

●

If the EIO JetDirect Card has successfully powered up and
completed its internal diagnostics, the I/O CARD READY message
will appear. If communication is lost, an I/O NOT READY message
appears followed by a two digit error code. Consult the HP
JetDirect Network Interface Configuration Guide for further details
and recommended action.

●

The “Network Statistics” column indicates the status of network
activity. Bad packets, framing errors, un-sendable packets, and
collisions should be minimal. If a high percentage (greater than
one percent) of these occur, contact the network administrator. All
of the statistics are set to zero when the printer is powered off.

●

A “Novell Status” block should state the Novell printer server
name to which the printer is connected. If the Node Name reads
“NPIxxxxxx” (xxxxxx = last six digits of the EIO's LAN address),
the EIO card has not been configured for a Novell server (as in
figure 7-8). This could indicate that the card is operating under an
IPX protocol other than Novell. Consult with the network
administrator if the Node Name is not present.

●

In the TCP/IP protocol block, the default IP address is
“192.0.0.192.” It is acceptable to operate the printer with this
default address. The error message, ARP DUPLICATE IP ADDRESS
may appear in this block. This is also an acceptable error code if
the TCP/IP protocol is not being used. Please check with the
network administrator to determine the correct IP address for the
printer.

Verify Host System Operation
Try to print to another known working printer or move the failing
printer to a known working location. Verify that the correct driver is
installed and operating properly.

Verify Network and Server Operation

C4265-90907

Paper Curl
Paper curl is inherent to the laser printing processes, as it occurs
when paper is subjected to heat. Paper curl tends to relax as the
paper cools while resting on a flat surface. The specification for
maximum paper curl when the paper is lying flat before print is 0.2
inches (5 mm).
Although paper curl cannot be totally eliminated, some steps can be
taken to lessen its impact, as suggested in the following table.

Table 7-1. Paper Curl
Possible Cause

Recommended Action

1. Paper Path

Try using Tray 1 and output the paper to the Face-up Bin.

2. Paper Surface

The recommended printing surface of the page is usually marked on the end of a
ream of paper, indicated by a small arrow and the phrase “print this side first.”
Load paper in Tray 1 with the recommended printing surface facing up (facing
down in Trays 2, 3, 4, and 5).

3. Paper Storing and Over time, paper assumes the characteristics of its storage environment (in a
humid environment, paper absorbs moisture; in a dry environment, paper loses
Handling
moisture). Paper with higher moisture content will tend to curl more. Evaluate the
storage conditions of the paper.

4. Paper Type

C4265-90907

All paper is manufactured differently (different textures, moisture content, drying
processes, composition, etc.). Change the type of paper being used and reevaluate the paper curl results.

Troubleshooting the Print System 593

Troubleshooting the Printer and Paper-handling
Devices

Engine Test
The engine test verifies that the print engine is functioning correctly.
This test is very useful for isolating printer problems since the
Formatter PCA is completely bypassed during an engine test. The
engine test prints a full page of horizontal lines across the entire
printable area. The engine test prints from Tray 3 ONLY and can be
activated with the Formatter PCA removed.
Note

Tray 3 must be installed and loaded with paper to perform an engine
test. Also, make sure that the EP toner cartridge is installed in the
printer.

Engine Test Button Location
The engine test button is located on the DC Controller PCA. It is
accessible through a hole at the right rear of the printer. See figure

Interpret the Event Log
See figure 7-11 on page 600 for a sample Event Log.
The errors on the control panel and the Event Log codes may not be
the same. For example, 13.11 on the control panel may be 13.11 1B
in the Event Log. The 1B provides more information about the error.
Likewise, if a 50.1 FUSER ERROR is displayed on the Control Panel,
the Event Log will record a 50.02.01 error, with the 02 signifying that
2 sensors were blocked. Make sure that you refer to the correct
number in “Printer Message Tables” on page 607.
When an error is detected in an Optional Paper Handling Device, a
13.11, 11.zz, 22.zz to 13.12,13.22, or 66.xy.zz will be
displayed on the Control Panel.
Hint

Whenever a 13.xx appears on the Control Panel, a good practice is to
clear the jammed paper from the printer, press GO to take the printer
offline, and print the Event Log. If you cannot print the Event Log, you
can still display it on the Control Panel. The last error is the error at the
top of the Event Log printout with the highest number in the left-most
column. Write the error next to the last error logged.
To interpret the Event Log:

Note

C4265-90907

●

Each individual entry in the log is called an “error,” while all errors
occurring at the same page count are called an “event.” See the
Recommended Action in “Printer Message Tables” on page 607
for each error comprising an event to gain a clear picture of what
took place during that event. Events usually conclude with a timeout or no response from the device (error 66.xy in the Event Log).
Turn the printer off, and then turn the printer on.

●

Use the Event Log table in this section to associate errors in the
Event Log with the Control Panel error message. Follow the
Recommended Action listed in the Event Log Table starting on
page 607 for each error or event.

It is assumed that any Paper Handling Devices are connected as shown
in the C-link Cable Diagram (figure 7-7 on page 583). The errors will
be logged with different device numbers if any non-standard cabling is
installed.

A paper jam occurred in the first C-link
device configured. It is an input device
(2000-sheet Input Tray or 2 x 500-sheet
Input Tray) with an error code 1B. This is
normally a timeout at an entry or exit sensor.

Paper Jams
Paper jams occur most often when:
●

Paper trays are not correctly loaded. Make sure the paper is
loaded with the arrow pointing up in Tray 1 and down in Trays 2, 3,
4, and 5.

●

The print media does not meet the specifications listed in the HP
LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide.

●

The media is in poor condition.

●

The printer needs cleaning.

The printer monitors the timing of four sensors to determine that a
paper jam has occurred: PS2, PS1, PS1403, and PS1402.

646 Chapter 7 Troubleshooting

C4265-90907

If a paper jam occurs, the printer will display a 13.x PAPER JAM
message on the control panel. See “Printer Message Tables” on page

Paper Path Troubleshooting 647

Paper Path Test
Using the error trend information from Display on page 598, you can
verify a specific printer paper path with the paper path test. You must
first set the desired paper destination in the configuration menu and
then select the paper path test. The paper path test menu will allow
you to select the desired paper source and number.
Note

Feeding paper from Tray 1 will not allow the user to send paper to the
Face-down output bins during this test.

Note

If the 8-bin Mailbox is installed, in order to perform the paper path test,
the printer must be configured to mailbox mode. If the printer is not in

Paper Path Test Source and Output Selection

Customer Print Job
Ask the customer to send a print job from the problem source(s) to
the problem destination(s). Try to recreate the paper jam errors by
having the customer do typical print jobs and the type of print job that
has been causing the paper jams.
When verifying print jobs, make sure that all of the settings are
selected as desired. Keep in mind that application settings take
priority over driver settings, which take priority over the printer control
panel settings. If a single setting is not present in the application, but
is set in the driver, that will override the front panel settings.
Note

C4265-90907

JetAdmin does have capabilities to override paper types and sizes and
certain conditions. See the HP LaserJet 8100, 8100 N and 8100 DN
Printers User Guide for more information.

Paper Path Troubleshooting 649

Clearing Paper Jams
Note

Open and close all printer covers to clear the paper jam message. After
removing a sheet of paper, you may need to check other areas to make
sure that all paper has been removed.
All portions of a jammed piece of paper must be removed or you may
run into repeated jams.
If the jam persists, try the following:
●

If you have PostScript installed, use the JAM RECOVERY=ON menu
item under the PostScript Menu. The printer will attempt to
automatically recover from paper jams.

●

Execute a formfeed from the computer or the printer's control
panel. A formfeed may flush any paper or envelopes left in the
printer.

●

Check to make sure you have located and removed all scraps of
paper from inside the printer.

●

Use the Event Log Page and Event Log Codes to aid you in
isolating where the errors are occurring.

Clearing Repeated Paper Jams
1

Check to see that media is correctly loaded in trays and that all
width guides are correctly set (not skewed).

2

Try turning over the stack of paper in the tray. If you are using
letterhead paper, try printing from Tray 1.

3

Do not use previously printed paper or torn, worn, or irregular
paper.

4

Check the media specifications. If it is outside of the
recommended specifications, problems may occur. (See the HP
LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide.)

5

The printer may be dirty. Clean the printer as described in the first
section of this chapter.

6

Check that paper loaded in Tray 1 is NOT longer than 17.7 inches
(450 mm) or wider than 11.7 inches (297 mm). (These are the
maximum dimensions that the printer can feed; otherwise the
printer will jam.)

7

Make sure that Tray 4 and Tray 5 are set for the size of paper
installed and that the tray is not overloaded with paper.

Verify Installed Options
In the Installed Personalities and Options section on the configuration
page, look for options such as hard disk information and DIMM types
RAM or ROM and sizes.
Verify that the options installed in the printer are reflected in the
configuration page. If an installed device is not shown on the
configuration page, see table 7-16 on page 660 for recommended
actions.
The Paper Tray and Options section of the configuration page
identifies two types of paper handling devices that communicate or
interact with the printer:
●

Engine DC controller-driven devices
• Duplexer
• Envelope Feeder

●

Communication Link Devices (C-link protocol)
• Input devices:
2000-sheet Input Tray
2 x 500-sheet Input Tray
• Output devices:
8-bin Mailbox
5-bin Mailbox with Stapler (includes a finisher)
7-bin Tabletop Mailbox
3,000-sheet Stapler/Stacker

While the engine DC controller-driven devices draw power (24V DC)
and control signals from the engine, the C-link devices have their own
power supply and controller board.
The information from the Paper Handling Controller is carried by the
C-link cables that connect the controller board of all the C-link
protocol supported devices. The C-link protocol supports up to 5
devices connected to the paper handling controller in a daisy chain.
Each device controller has an input or output port that provides
flexible connections in different configurations. However, it is
recommended to use the configuration shown in figure 7-7 on page
583 to avoid rearrangements in the supported device numbering and
confusions when evaluating the Event Log.

Step 6. Image Quality
When you are working with customers, obtain a print sample before
you begin troubleshooting their printer. Ask the customer to explain
the quality they expect from the printer. The print sample will also help
clarify the customer's explanation and expectations.

Image Quality 661

Check the Toner Cartridge
Image formation defects are often the result of toner cartridge
problems. If there is any doubt, always replace the toner cartridge
before troubleshooting image defects.
Use the following check list to make sure that the toner cartridge is
still operable.

Note

●

Make sure that the toner cartridge has toner.
Full toner cartridge weight = 3200 grams (114 oz)
Empty weight = 2200 grams (80.5 oz)

●

Check the expiration date of the toner cartridge (stamped on the
cartridge box).

●

Check the toner cartridge to see if it has been disassembled or
refilled.

●

Make sure that the toner cartridge is seated properly in the printer
cavity.

●

Inspect the cartridge for toner leaking through worn seals. (If the
drum has been manually rotated it may have caused internal
damage and toner spills may result.)

Toner cartridges are rated for 20,000 images at 5% coverage. It is
possible to wear out the gears and the cartridge seals before TONER
LOW is displayed if the 20,000 image expectancy is exceeded.
●

Check the surface of the photosensitive drum in the toner
cartridge to see if it has been damaged or scratched. Touching
the drum will contaminate the photosensitive surface and may
cause spotting and defects during printing.

●

White areas on the page may indicate that the drum has been
exposed to light for too long. If white areas appear, stop the
printer and wait a few minutes. This should eliminate most
defective images. If not, the toner cartridge may be placed in a
dark environment for several days, which may restore some life to
the drum.

Image System Troubleshooting
Half Self Test Functional Check
The electrophotographic process can be subdivided into the following
stages:
●

Cleaning (removing excess toner from drum surface)

●

Conditioning (placing a uniform electrical charge on drum)

●

Writing (laser strikes surface of drum to create latent image)

●

Development (formation of the toner image on drum)

●

Transfer (charge to transfer the image to paper)

●

Fusing (heat and pressure to produce a permanent image)

See Chapter 5 for more information.

The purpose of the Half Self Test Check is to determine which
process is malfunctioning. Perform the test as follows:
1

Print a Configuration Page. See Configuration Pages on page
653 for instructions.

2

Open the top cover after the paper advances half-way through the
printer (about five seconds after the Main Motor begins rotating).
The leading edge of the paper should have advanced past the
toner cartridge.

3

Remove the toner cartridge.

4

Open the toner cartridge's drum shield to view the drum's
surface.
If a dark and distinct toner image is present on the drum's
surface, assume that the first four functions of the
electrophotographic process are functioning (cleaning,
conditioning, writing, and developing—see Chapter 5), and
troubleshoot the failure as a transfer or fusing problem.
If NO image is present on the photosensitive drum, perform the
functional checks on the following pages.

678 Chapter 7 Troubleshooting

C4265-90907

Drum Rotation Functional Check
The photosensitive drum, located in the toner cartridge, must rotate
for the print process to work. The photosensitive drum receives its
drive from the Main Drive assembly. To verify whether the drum is
rotating:

Note

1

Open the top cover.

2

Remove the toner cartridge.

3

Mark the cartridge's drive gear with a felt-tipped marker. Note the
position of the mark.

4

Install the toner cartridge, and close the top cover. The start-up
sequence should rotate the drum enough to move the mark.

5

Open the printer, and inspect the gear that was marked in step 3.
Verify that the mark moved. If the mark did not move, inspect the
Main Drive assembly to make sure that it is meshing with the
toner cartridge gears. If the drive gears appear functional, and
the drum does not move, replace the toner cartridge.

This test is especially important if refilled toner cartridges have been
used.

High-Voltage Power Supply Check
The High-Voltage Power Supply PCA provides the necessary
voltages for the electrophotographic processes (see figure 7-22 on
page 680). A method for verifying the high-voltage system is given
below.
Toner cartridge connection points
Visually inspect the four connection points on the inside right end of
the toner cartridge. If they are dirty or corroded, clean the
connections. If damaged, replace the toner cartridge.
High voltage contacts
The high voltage contact springs mount on the High Voltage Power
Supply PCA and protrude through the toner cartridge cavity to
contact the toner cartridge. Verify that the contacts are not dirty or
corroded and that the spring action is functional. If damaged, replace
the High Voltage Power Supply PCA (see High Voltage Power Supply
(HVPS) on page 323 for instructions).

Boot Errors
Table 7-44. Boot Errors
Boot Error

Description

0x00058001

Bad connection (displayed after the second icon is displayed)
This error indicates a bad physical connection between the copy
module and the printer. This could also indicate that the Scanner
Service Agent failed to load, or that the printer ID is not an HP
LaserJet 8150MFP

0x00058002

No file (displayed after the third icon is displayed)
This error indicates that a connection was established, the
Scanner Service Agent loaded, but firmware was not found on the
disk.

0x00058003

Bad file (displayed after the third icon is displayed)
This error indicates that a connection was established, the
Scanner Service Agent loaded, firmware was found on the disk,
but one or more of the files appear to be corrupt. Note that the
“bad file” error below can also indicate that the copy processor
gave up on downloading the runtime firmware after trying several
times. It can also occur sporadically if you try to print a printer
configuration page while the copy processor is downloading the
firmware

Note

All other numbered Boot Errors (0x00000000-0x000007FF) indicate
that the Copy Processor card failed its own diagnostics and is probably
bad. These errors will likely be seen in conjunction with and can be
confirmed by a blinking red LED on the Copy Processor LED test.

Copy Module Offline Test
This test does not depend on a functioning Copy Processor or a
functioning Front Panel. This is a pass or fail test. If the Carrier Unit
moves, the ADF feeds paper, and the Lamps come on, then the test is
passed. If this does not happen, the copy module will appear to be
dead.
Successful completion of this test will exercise the functionality of

Open the ADF to stop the flatbed test.

6

Have a stack of paper ready. Close the ADF and load paper.

7

The ADF will move paper and the Lamps will light as if making a
two-sided copy.

Successful completion of this test will exercise the functionality of both
Lamps, the Carrier Unit, the Optical Unit, and the Control PCA.

How to Use the Part Lists and Diagrams
The figures in this chapter illustrate the major subassemblies and
their component parts. Each table lists the reference designator (item
number) for each part, the associated part number for the item, the
quantity, and a description of the part.
While looking for a part number, pay careful attention to the voltage
listed in the description column to ensure that the part number
selected is for the correct model of printer.
Note

For information on the 3,000-sheet Stapler/Stacker, see HP 3,000sheet Stapler/Stacker Service Manual Supplement for Paper-Handling
Accessories (C4788-90904).

Note

Parts that have no item or part number listed are not field-replaceable
parts and cannot be ordered.
