Chapter 1 Theory of operation

ENWW

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

Controlling sleep mode

●

Receiving and processing print data from the various product interfaces

●

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

●

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

●

Storing font information

●

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

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

Sleep mode
NOTE: In the Display Settings menu (a sub menu of the Administration menu), this item is
termed Sleep Mode.
This feature conserves power after the product has been idle for an adjustable period of time. When
the product is in Sleep Mode, the control-panel backlight is turned off, but the product retains all
settings, downloaded fonts, and macros. The default setting is for Sleep Mode to be enabled, and the
product enters Sleep Mode after a 15-minute idle time.
The product exits Sleep Mode and enters the warm-up cycle when any of the following events occur:
●

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

●

A control-panel button is pressed

●

A cover is opened

●

A paper tray is opened

●

The engine-test switch is pressed

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

ENWW

Formatter-control system

5

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

USB 2.0 port for connecting directly to a computer

●

Internal 10/100Base-T network port

●

Walk-up USB port

CPU
The formatter incorporates a 800 MHz Vermillion processor.

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

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

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

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

6

●

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

●

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

Chapter 1 Theory of operation

ENWW

●

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

●

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

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

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

Engine-control system
The engine-control system coordinates all product functions, according to commands that the formatter
sends. The engine-control system drives the laser/scanner system, the image formation system, and the
pickup/feed/delivery system.
The engine control system contains the following major components:
●

DC controller

●

Low-voltage power supply

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

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

●

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

●

Thermistors; detect the fuser temperature (contact type)

●

◦

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

◦

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

◦

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

◦

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

Thermal fuse (FU1): Prevents abnormal temperature rise in the fuser heater (non-contact type)

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

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

DC controller
◦

●

Fuser-heater safety circuit
◦

●

ENWW

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

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

Thermal fuse
◦

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

◦

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

Engine-control system

17

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

18

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

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

●

Primary transfer roller: The primary transfer bias is used to transfer the toner from each
photosensitive drum onto the ITB.

●

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

Laser scanner system
The laser scanner system forms latent images on the photosensitive drums according to the VIDEO
signals sent from the formatter.
The main components of the laser/scanner are the laser unit and the scanner motor unit. The DC

Latent-image formation block
During the latent-image formation stage, the laser scanner forms invisible images on the photosensitive
drums in the print cartridges.
Pre-exposure
Step 1: Light from the pre-exposure LED strikes the photosensitive drum surface. This eliminates the
residual electrical charges on the drum surface.
Figure 1-14 Pre-exposure
LED

Photosensitive drum

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

Laser beam exposure
Step 3: The laser beam scans the photosensitive drum to neutralize negative charges on parts of the
drum surface. An electrostatic latent image is formed on the drum where negative charges were
neutralized.

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

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

Step 6: The toner image on the ITB is transferred to the paper. The secondary transfer bias is applied
to the secondary transfer roller to charge the paper positive. As the paper passes between the
secondary transfer roller and the ITB, the complete toner image on the ITB is transferred onto the paper.

Step 7: The elasticity of the paper and the curvature of the secondary transfer opposed roller cause the
paper to separate from the ITB. The static charge eliminator reduces back side static charge of the
paper and controls excess discharge after the transfer process for stable media feed and image quality.

them has the same structure. The cartridges are filled with toner and consist of the following
components:
●

Memory tag
The memory tag is a non-volatile memory chip in the cartridge that stores information about usage for
the cartridge. The product reads and writes the data in the memory tag. The DC controller determines a
memory tag error and notifies the formatter when it fails to either read from or write to the memory tag.

Cartridge presence detection
The DC controller detects the presence of the cartridges by monitoring the cartridge e-label and ground
circuit. When the DC controller determines a cartridge absence, it notifies the formatter.

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

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

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

●

ITB drive roller

●

Primary transfer rollers

●

ITB cleaner

The ITB motor drives the ITB drive roller which rotates the ITB. The rotation of the ITB causes the primary

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

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

●

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

●

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

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

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

2.

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

3.

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

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

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

The product is turned on

●

The product exits Sleep mode

●

The door is closed

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

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

Calibration
The product calibrates itself to print a high-quality image. The calibration corrects a color-misregistration
and color-density variation caused by environment changes or variation inherent in the product. The
product performs the following calibrations:

ENWW

●

Color-misregistration control

●

Environment change control

●

Image stabilization control

Image-formation system

41

Color-misregistration control
The color-misregistration control corrects the misaligned color planes caused by the variation inherent in
the laser scanner units or cartridges. The color-misregistration control corrects the following:
●

Horizontal scanning start position

●

Horizontal scanning magnification

●

Vertical scanning start position

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

Regisration density sensor

ITB

Registration density

Pattern of toner

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

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

●

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

●

A specified number of pages have been printed

●

Continuous printing for a specified period of time

●

Cold starting of the fuser when the product is turned on

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

42

Chapter 1 Theory of operation

ENWW

Environment change control
The environment change control calibrates each high-voltage bias to obtain an appropriate image
according to the environment changes. The DC controller determines the environment, where the
product is installed, based on the surrounding temperature and humidity data from the environment
sensor. It adjusts the high-voltage biases to accommodate environmental changes.
The DC controller determines an environment sensor abnormality and notifies the formatter when it
detects out of specified range data from the environment sensor.

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

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

●

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

●

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

●

A specified number of pages have been printed

●

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

●

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

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

ENWW

●

The image density control is completed

●

The formatter sends a command

4.

The Tray 2 cassette (CST) feed roller rotates.

5.

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

6.

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

7.

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

8.

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

The operational sequence of the MP tray pickup is as follows:

ENWW

1.

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

2.

As the MP tray pickup solenoid is driven, the MP tray pickup roller rotates and the lifting plate
moves up.

3.

The MP tray pickup roller picks up the paper.

4.

The MP tray separation pad removes any multiple-fed sheets and one sheet of paper is fed into the
product.

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

54

Chapter 1 Theory of operation

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

ENWW

1.

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

2.

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

3.

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

Pickup, feed, and delivery system

Skew-feed prevention
The printer corrects the skew feed without decreasing the throughput.
1.

The leading edge of paper strikes the registration shutter and aligns.

2.

As the feed rollers keep pushing the paper, the paper gets warped against the registration shutter.

3.

The stiffness of paper pushes up the registration shutter and the realigned paper passes through
straightened.

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

Reflected light type (detects the glossiness of paper)

●

Transmitted light type (detects the thickness of paper)

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

Plain paper

●

Light paper

●

Heavy paper

●

Glossy paper

●

Glossy film

●

Overhead transparency (OHT)

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

●

Simplex printing
◦

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

◦

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

Duplex printing
◦

The specified print mode is for duplex-printable-print mode, but the media sensor detects an
overhead transparency. For more information about duplex-printable mode, see Duplex block
(duplex models only) on page 63.

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

Product power is turned on

●

The door is closed

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

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

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

ENWW

●

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

●

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

Pickup, feed, and delivery system

59

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

Loop sensor 1: Detects the paper loop for heavy media

●

Loop sensor 2: Detects the paper loop for plain media other than heavy media

Cassette media-size detection and cassette-presence detection
The paper deck detects the size of the paper loaded in the paper deck cassette by monitoring the
paper deck cassette media end switch and the paper deck cassette media width switch. It also detects
the presence of cassette by monitoring the switches. The paper deck controller notifies the formatter
through the DC controller when it determines a cassette is absent.

Introduction
This chapter describes the removal and replacement of field-replaceable units (FRUs) only.
Replacing FRUs is generally the reverse of removal. Occasionally, notes and tips are included to
provide directions for difficult or critical replacement procedures.
HP does not support repairing individual subassemblies or troubleshooting to the component level.
Note the length, diameter, color, type, and location of each screw. Be sure to return each screw to its
original location during reassembly.
Incorrectly routed or loose wire harnesses can interfere with other internal components and can become
damaged or broken. Frayed or pinched harness wires can be difficult to find. When replacing wire
harnesses, always use the provided wire loops, lance points, or wire-harness guides and retainers.

Removal and replacement strategy
WARNING! Turn the product off, wait 5 seconds, and then remove the power cord before
attempting to service the product. If this warning is not followed, severe injury can result, in addition to
damage to the product. The power must be on for certain functional checks during troubleshooting.
However, disconnect the power supply during parts removal.
Never operate or service the product with the protective cover removed from the laser/scanner
assembly. The reflected beam, although invisible, can damage your eyes.
The sheet-metal parts can have sharp edges. Be careful when handling sheet-metal parts.
CAUTION: Do not bend or fold the flat flexible cables (FFCs) during removal or installation. Also, do
not straighten pre-folds in the FFCs. You must fully seat all FFCs in their connectors. Failure to fully seat
an FFC into a connector can cause a short circuit in a PCA.
NOTE: To install a self-tapping screw, first turn it counterclockwise to align it with the existing thread
pattern, and then carefully turn it clockwise to tighten. Do not overtighten. If a self-tapping screw-hole
becomes stripped, repair the screw-hole or replace the affected assembly.
TIP: For clarity, some photos in this chapter show components removed that would not be removed to
service the product. If necessary, remove the components listed at the beginning of a procedure before
proceeding to service the product.

Electrostatic discharge
CAUTION:

Some parts are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Look for the ESD reminder

when removing product parts. Always perform service work at an ESD-protected workstation or mat, or
use an ESD strap. If an ESD workstation, mat, or strap is not available, ground yourself by touching the
sheet-metal chassis before touching an ESD-sensitive part.
Protect the ESD-sensitive parts by placing them in ESD pouches when they are out of the product.

Removal and replacement procedures
NOTE: The following assemblies are Customer Self Repair (CSR) components. Go to Covers
on page 111 or Main assemblies on page 130 for information about removing service assemblies.

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

If the product is not responding correctly, complete the steps in the following checklist, in order. If the
product does not pass a step, follow the corresponding troubleshooting suggestions. If a step resolves
the problem, you can stop without performing the other steps on the checklist.
1.

Make sure that the control-panel display shows one of the following messages: Ready, Paused,
or SLEEP MODE ON. If no lights are illuminated or the display does not say Ready, Paused,
or Sleep Mode, use the Power-on checks section in the product service manual to troubleshoot
the problem.

2.

7.

a.

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

b.

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

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

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

b.

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

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

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

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

●

Use the troubleshooting flowchart to pinpoint the root cause of hardware malfunctions. The
flowchart guides you to the section of this chapter that contains steps for correcting the
malfunction.

Before beginning any troubleshooting procedure, check the following issues:
●

Are supply items within their rated life?

●

Does the configuration page reveal any configuration errors?

NOTE: The customer is responsible for checking supplies and for using supplies that are in good
condition.

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

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

Questions

Environment

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

Is the operating environment within the specified parameters?

●

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

●

ENWW

Is the product exposed to direct sunlight?

Troubleshooting process

279

General topic

Questions

Media

●

Does the customer use only supported media?

●

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

●

Is the media stored correctly and within environmental limits?

●

Is the amount of media in the tray within specifications?

●

Is the media correctly placed in the tray?

●

Are the paper guides aligned with the stack?

●

Is the cassette correctly installed in the product?

●

Is each print cartridge installed correctly?

●

Are original HP print cartridges installed?

●

Are the cartridges damaged?

●

Are the ITB and fuser correctly installed?

●

Is the ITB or fuser damaged?

Doors

●

Are the right and front doors closed?

Condensation

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

For any print-quality issues, calibrate the product. See Calibrate the product
on page 356.

Power subsystem
Power-on checks
The basic product functions should start up when the product is plugged into an electrical outlet and the
power switch is pushed to the on position. If the product does not start, use the information in this
section to isolate and solve the problem.
Power-on troubleshooting overview
Turn on the product power. If the control panel display remains blank, random patterns display, or
asterisks remain on the control panel display, perform power-on checks to find the cause of the
problem.
During normal operation, the power supply, fuser, and formatter cooling fans begin to spin after the
product power is turned on. Place your hand over the holes in the left-side cover, near the formatter. If
the fan is operating, you will feel air passing out of the product. You can also lean close to the product
and hear the fan operating. You can also place your hand over the hole in the right-front lower corner.
If the fan is operating, you should feel air being drawn into the product. When these fans are
operational, the DC side of the power supply is functioning correctly.
After the fans are operating, the motor turn on and off (unless the right or front cover is open, a jam
condition is sensed, or the paper-path sensors are damaged). You might be able to visually and
audibly determine if the motors turn on and off.
If the fans and motors are operating correctly, the next troubleshooting step is to isolate print engine,
formatter, and control panel problems. Perform an engine test (see Engine test button on page 288). If
the formatter is damaged, it might interfere with the engine test. If the engine-test page does not print,
try removing the formatter and then performing the engine test again. If the engine test is then
successful, the problem is almost certainly with the formatter, the control panel, or the cable that
connects them.
If the control panel is blank when you turn on the product, check the following items.
1.

Make sure that the product is plugged directly into an active electrical outlet (not a power strip)
that delivers the correct voltage.

2.

Make sure that the power switch is in the on position.

3.

Make sure that the fans run briefly, which indicates that the power supply is operational.

4.

Make sure that the control panel display wire harness is connected.

5.

Make sure that the formatter is seated and operating correctly. Turn off the product and remove
the formatter. Reinstall the formatter, and then verify that the heartbeat LED is flashing.

6.

Remove any HP Jetdirect or other EIO cards, and then try to turn the product on again.

NOTE: If the control panel display is blank, but the cooling fans run after the product power is turned
on, try printing an engine-test page to determine whether the problem is with the control-panel display,
formatter, or other product components. See Engine test button on page 288.

HP Jetdirect LEDs
The embedded HP Jetdirect print server has two LEDs. The yellow LED indicates network activity, and
the green LED indicates the link status. A blinking yellow LED indicates network traffic. If the green LED
is off, a link has failed.
For link failures, check all the network cable connections. In addition, you can try to manually configure
the link settings on the embedded print server by using the product control-panel menus.

Engine diagnostics
This section provides an overview of the engine diagnostics that are available in the HP Color LaserJet
Enterprise CP5520 Printer Series product. The product contains extensive internal diagnostics that help
in troubleshooting print quality, paper path, noise, component, and timing issues.

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

Disable cartridge check
Use this diagnostic test to print internal pages or send an external job to the product when one or more
print cartridges are removed or exchanged. Consumable supply errors are ignored while the product is
in this mode. When the product is in this mode, you can navigate the troubleshooting menus and print
internal pages (the print quality pages will be the most useful). This test can be used isolate problems,
such as noise, and to isolate print-quality problems that are related to individual print cartridges.
NOTE: Cartridges are not keyed and can be interchanged. An error will display on the control panel
if a print cartridge is installed in the wrong position. The Supplies Status menu will explain which
print cartridge is misplaced.

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

2. Color plane registration (CPR) bars

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

3. Color ramp patches

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

Cause

Solution

The paper does not meet specifications.

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

A component is installed incorrectly.

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

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

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

An input tray is loaded incorrectly.

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

The paper is skewed.

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

The paper is binding or sticking together.

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

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

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

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

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

The paper is in poor condition.

Replace the paper.

The internal tray rollers are not picking up the paper.

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

ENWW

The paper has rough or jagged edges.

Replace the paper.

The paper is perforated or embossed.

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

Paper was not stored correctly.

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

Not all product packing material was removed.

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

available:
●

Auto — The product attempts to reprint jammed pages when enough memory is available. This is
the default setting.

●

Off — The product does not try to reprint jammed pages. Because no memory is used to store the
most recent pages, performance is optimal.
NOTE: When using this option, if the product runs out of paper and the job is being printed on

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

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

Use paper that meets HP paper specifications.

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

If you are having problems with light streaks in an image, use the Administration menu to print the
supplies status page. If none of the cartridges has reached its estimated end of life, remove the
cartridges from the product, and then reinstall them. The product initiates a cleaning mechanism that
might correct the light streaks.

Clean Disk and Partial Clean functions
Active and repository firmware locations
The firmware bundle now consists of multiple parts. The main components are the Windows CE
Operating System and the printer/peripheral firmware files.
There are two locations/partitions on the hard drive where the firmware components are stored:
●

The Active – where the Operating System and firmware currently are executing

●

The Repository – the recovery location

If the Active location is damaged, or a Partial Clean was performed, the printer automatically copies
over the OS and firmware files from the Repository location and the printer recovers.
If both the Active and Repository locations are damaged, or a Clean Disk was performed, then both
locations are gone and the error message 99.09.67 appears on the control-panel display. The user
must upload the firmware to the printer in order for it to function again
CAUTION: The Clean Disk option performs a disk initialization for the entire disk. The operating
system, firmware files, and third party files (among other files) will be completely lost. HP does not
recommend this action.

Partial Clean
The Partial Clean option erases all partitions and data on the disk drive, except for the firmware
repository where a backup copy of the firmware file is stored. This allows the disk drive to be
reformatted without having to download a firmware upgrade file to return the product to a bootable
state.

function for this product.

CAUTION: HP recommends backing-up product configuration data before executing a Partial
Clean if you need to retain customer-defined settings. See the Backup/Restore item in the Device
Maintenance menu.
Reasons for performing Partial Clean
●

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

countries/regions, states or provinces do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty,
so the above limitation or exclusion might not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights

province to province.
HP's limited warranty is valid in any country/region or locality where HP has a support presence for

YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. EXCEPT AS INDICATED ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL HP OR
ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF DATA OR FOR DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOST PROFIT OR DATA), OR OTHER DAMAGE, WHETHER BASED
IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. Some countries/regions, states or provinces do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may
not apply to you.
THE WARRANTY TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY
PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT OR MODIFY AND ARE IN ADDITION TO THE

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

Customer self-repair warranty service
HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and
allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period,
HP identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, HP will ship that part
directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts: 1) Parts for which customer self
repair is mandatory. If you request HP to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and
labor costs of this service. 2) Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also
designed for Customer Self Repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, this may be
done at no additional charge under the type of warranty service designated for your product.
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day
delivery. Same-day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography
permits. If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will
help you over the phone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a
defective part must be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP,
you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business
days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping
material. Failure to return the defective part may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a
customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to
be used.

Certificate of Volatility
This is a statement regarding the volatility of customer data stored in memory. This statement describes
how to securely erase data from the product.

Types of memory
Volatile memory
The product utilizes volatile memory (a total of 1024MB) to support the embedded OS and to store
customer data during the printing process. When the product is powered off, this volatile memory is
erased.

Non-volatile memory
The product utilizes non-volatile memory (EEPROM) to store system control data and user preference
settings. No customer print data is stored in non-volatile memory. This non-volatile memory can be
cleared and restored to factory defaults by performing a Cold Reset or Restore Factory Settings at the
control panel.

Hard-disk-drive memory
The product contains an internal hard disk drive that may retain data after the product is powered off.
The product also might contain additional optional compact flash storage, or an external EIO hard
disk. Data stored in these devices might be from stored print jobs or third-party solutions.
Some of this data can be erased by using the product control panel, but most must be erased using the
Secure Disk Erase feature available in the device BIOS Menu, the Embedded Web Server (EWS) for the
product, and from HP Web Jetadmin. Secure Storage Erase features comply with U.S. NIST Special
Publication 800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization.
