Troubleshooting System Error Codes

Chapter 2 — System Error Codes contains a list of system error codes and their respective descriptions and recommended corrective actions. Only try one recommended action at a time and check if the error code has disappeared.

Performing a Service Test on a Failed Assembly

If possible, always perform a Service Test on the component/ assembly that you are about to replace, just to make sure that is the component/assembly that has failed.

If the test on that component/assembly passes, you should NOT replace it.

For information on the Service Tests and how to use them see Chapter 4 — Service Tests and Utilities.

Performing the Necessary Service Calibrations

Is the printer calibrated correctly after replacing a component?

Remember that certain Calibrations are required even if an Assembly has been disassembled to gain access to another Assembly or Component.

For information on the Service Calibrations and how to use them see Chapter 5 — Service Calibrations.

Troubleshooting

Solving Print Quality Problems

The Printer contains an internal Troubleshooting procedure which helps you to diagnose and resolve the possible source of any Image Quality or Line Quality defects. If Print Quality is poor before the minimum life expectancy of the Printhead has been reached, the Troubleshooting procedure should be performed which will determine whether the Printhead needs replacing or not after performing various levels of recovery actions.

For information on solving Print Quality problems see Chapter 6 —

Print Quality.

The Printer does not Power ON

1Check that the power cord is connected correctly to the Printer and to the Power Socket.

2Check that the Front-Panel Cable is correctly connected to the Interconnect PCA. Also make sure that the Front-Panel cable is not damaged.

3Check that the Interconnect Cable is properly connected at the both ends of the Printer.

Cover Sensors are not Working

1Check if the faulty sensor is installed correctly.

2Check if the cable for the faulty sensor is connected correctly.

3Replace the faulty Sensor (or the assembly that contains the Sensor).

The Line Sensor has Problems Detecting Media

1Check the type of media that is being used since the Line Sensor may have problems detecting transparent media or some types of Non-HP media. Try loading white HP media in to the Printer and check if the Line Sensor detects it.

2Excessive ink deposits on the Print Platen surface can fool the sensor by reflecting the light. Clean the Print Platen.

3The Line Sensor is damaged or faulty. Replace the Carriage Assembly Page 8-78.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Paper-Axis Shutdowns

A Paper-Axis shutdown can happen when the Printer detects that the Drive Roller is not moving but at the same time power is being supplied to the Paper-Axis Motor (which should be turning the Drive Roller).

The reasons for the Paper-Axis shutdown, and their solutions, are explained as follows:

1The Paper-Axis Motor does not respond to the electrical simulation.

It is possible to determine whether the Paper-Axis is faulty by performing the Paper Advance Test (Refer to Page 4-11). The Printer will move the Motor backwards and forwards and measure directly from the Motor Encoder whether the Paper-Axis Motor responded to the force. If the Paper-Axis Motor did not respond, the solution would be to replace the Paper-Axis Motor

Page 8-84.

2The Transmission Gears, which transmit the movement to the Drive Roller, are not turning. This problem could be caused either by blockage of the gears (caused by an obstacle) or by one of the gears being damaged. To solve the problem, try the following:

Remove the Back Platen Page 8-67 and check if there are any obstacles blocking the Gears. Remove the obstacles if necessary.

Remove the Back Platen Page 8-67 and check if the

Transmission Gears are damaged. If the Gears are damaged, replace the Gear Assemblies Page 8-92.

3The Drive Roller cannot move because of an obstacle or because it is damaged. To solve the problem, try the following:

Remove the Back Platen Page 8-67 and check if there are any obstacles blocking the Drive Roller. Remove the obstacles if necessary.

Remove the Back Platen Page 8-67 and check if the Drive

Roller is damaged. If the Drive Roller is damaged, replace the Drive Roller Page 8-86.

4The Drive Roller Encoder Sensor is faulty

It is possible to determine whether the Encoder Sensor is faulty by loading a sheet of paper from the front of the Printer. If the Drive Roller is working, the sheet will be loaded correctly, and the Printer will detect that media has been loaded (using the Media Sensor). Therefore the problem must be the Encoder Sensor and the solution would be to replace the Encoder Sensor

Page 8-38.

Troubleshooting

Problems with the Vacuum Fan

If you have problems loading either Roll or Sheet Media, then there could be a problem with the Vacuum Fan. To verify if there really is a problem with the Vacuum Fan, try the following:

1With the Printer ON, open the Window of the Printer and place a sheet of HP High Gloss Photo Paper (must be D-Size), aligned with the blue lines on the Center Platen. If the Vacuum Fan holds the sheet in place, and then loads it correctly, then the Vacuum Fan functions correctly. If the Vacuum Fan does not hold the sheet in place (no suction), then try the following:

Check that the holes in the Center Platen are NOT blocked.

Check that the Vacuum Fan is installed correctly.

Replace the Vacuum Fan Page 8-64.

2If the Vacuum Fan held the sheet in place, but couldn’t correctly load it, then there could be a problem with the Drive Roller. In this case, replace the Drive Roller Page 8-86.

Vacuum suction much lower at high altitudes

Sometimes, at high altitudes, the vacuum force holding down the media will be lower, therefore the media will not be held in place properly causing:

Ink Smearing on the Media.

Printhead crashes against the Media.

Cut Sheet loading problems (high probability).

Roll Media loading problems (low probability).

The solution to this would be to change the Vacuum force by changing the Altitude setting. This can be done via the front panelSet-up Menu / Altitude.

Troubleshooting

HP-GL/2 color differences in different HP DesignJet Printers

Color differences between one image printed on the HP DesignJet 500/510/800 Series and the rest of the DesignJet platforms are due to the different chemistry of the 500/510/800 series inks compared with the rest of the inks for other printers. This color variability among different HP DesignJet Series Printers has always been present. To solve the problem, try the following:

Perform the color calibration from the driver at the time of printing. However, that calibration is not very accurate but it may help in the most severe cases.

Some applications have color controls for the user to modify the image in order to obtain the desired colors.

Printing with PostScript reduces the problem significantly.

Avoid very long exposures to extreme environmental conditions after printing with glossy media (more than 12 hours at 80% humidity may result in severe changes in color).

Banding at variable extreme environmental conditions

Since the Accuracy Calibration has been done at normal environmental conditions, printing in extreme environmental conditions will cause banding because the advance of the Drive Roller does not correspond to the same conditions that the calibration was done in. To solve the problem, try the following:

Perform the Accuracy Calibration in the new environmental conditions (Refer to the User’s Guide).

Troubleshooting

The Priming Procedure Fails

When the customer first receives the Printer, it is supplied with a set of four Start-up Printheads pre-installed in the Printhead Carriage. These Start-up Printheads are used for the priming of the tubes in the Ink Delivery System.

When the Printer is powered ON for the first time, the Printer will automatically perform the priming process. Without the priming process, the customer will NOT be able to use the Printer.

The initial startup assumes that the Start-up Printheads are installed, but the Printer cannot detect them because the Printer can only detect normal Printheads. If normal Printheads are installed during the initial startup, the Printer will request the User to remove them and check if they really have been removed. It will then request the User to install the Start-up Printheads.

Also the Printer will request the User to install the Ink Cartridges if they have not been installed already. If the Ink Cartridges contain less than 20cc of ink (the Ink Cartridges are encoded with the quantity of ink remaining) they will be rejected. Normally with a new Printer this should not be a problem since the Printer comes with Ink Cartridges that are full, but there maybe cases when the Ink Supply Tubes need to be replaced, in which case half empty Ink Cartridges may be used.

Once the Printer assumes that the Start-up Printheads and Ink Cartridges with enough ink are installed, the priming process will begin.

If the priming process is completed successfully, the Printer will directly proceed to the Printhead replacement procedure in order to replace the used Start-up Printheads with normal Printheads.

Once the priming process has started, it can fail due to 2 different problems:

The Ink Supply Tubes were not completely empty — This is the most common cause especially if the Printer has been powered ON and OFF several times with the Ink Cartridges installed since the initialization process performs at least one pumping cycle.

The Printer detects that one or more of the tubes cannot be detected as filled with ink — The most likely cause for this problem is Ink Cartridges with a faulty valve.

Even if the priming process fails, the Printer will try to verify whether the priming process has been completed by moving the Carriage to the access position and you will see the following

Troubleshooting

message on the Front Panel:

Unable to prepare ink system.

Open window to check SETUP printheads

Open the Window and you will see the following message on the Front Panel:

1.Lift printhead cover

2.Check if there is ink inside printhead windows

3.Press ENTER to continue

Check for ink

Open the Carriage Cover and check if there is ink inside the Start-up Printheads. On the Front Panel you will see the following question and you will need to select the answer depending on whether the Start-up Printheads were filled with ink or not:

If there is ink in all of the Start-up printheads, the Printer considers that the priming procedure has been completed successfully and will proceed to the Printhead replacement process.

If you select NOT all with ink the Printer will react differently depending on the source of the problem:

If you need to reseat the Start-up Printheads, make sure you reinsert them in the same color slot in the Carriage.

The Printer will request you to reseat the Start-up Printheads (or in the case of missing Start-up Printheads you should install them or order new ones) and then retry the priming process (if the priming process fails 3 times because of the same problem, it will display a System Error). In this situation, the problem could be the following:

1The Start-up Printheads were not installed correctly or they are missing (one or all of them).

2The Start-up Printheads do not work properly and do not allow air to flow (one or all of them).

3The Ink Supply Station fails to pressurize the Ink Cartridges. To check this, perform the Ink Supply Station test Page 4-6.

4The Ink Supply Tubes are blocked, preventing the ink from flowing correctly.

If a System Error is displayed, try the following:

1The Ink Cartridge valve is broken so the Ink Cartridge should be replaced.

2The Start-up Printhead is not working properly and allows ink to flow outside.

3The Ink Supply Tube is leaking.

The last 2 cases will be more obvious because there will be a lot of ink in the Printer (around 20 cc of ink). Remove the Ink Cartridges and release the Tubes Bracket from the Ink Supply Station and check if there is ink in this area.

For more information on this problem, refer to System Error 93:10 on Page 2-19.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Using the Formatter/Accessory Card LEDs to Troubleshoot

In certain circumstances the LEDs located in the Formatter or HPGL/2 Accessory Card can help to highlight certain failures. There are 3 LEDs, Red, Yellow and Green and using different combinations can indicate different problems.

LED’s on the HP-GL/2

Accessory Card

The LED’s on the Formatter can be seen without having to remove the Left Hand Cover.

LED’s on the Formatter

The yellow LED (normally flashing) indicates that the Formatter/ Accessory Card is alive. If it stops flashing, it means that the Formatter/Accessory Card has failed and should be replaced.

The green LED indicates that there is power being supplied to the

Troubleshooting

Formatter/Accessory Card. If the green LED is NOT lit and the LED in the Power Switch is ON, then it could mean that the Formatter/Accessory Card is badly connected or that the Printer if switched OFF. If after reseating the Formatter/Accessory Card, the problem persists, try the following:

1Switch the Printer OFF and remove the Formatter/Accessory Card BUT leaving the LAN Card installed (if available). Switch the Printer ON. If the Printer powers up correctly and the LAN Card works properly, then try step 2. If the LAN Card doesn’t work, then try step 3.

2Switch the Printer OFF and remove the LAN Card from the current slot and install the Formatter/Accessory Card in the same slot (that was previously used by the LAN Card). Switch the Printer ON and check if the green LED in the Formatter/Accessory Card is lit. If the green LED is NOT lit, it means that the Formatter/Accessory Card is faulty and should be replaced.

If the green LED is lit, then switch the Printer OFF and install the LAN Card in the vacant slot. Switch ON the Printer and check if the LAN Card works properly. If the LAN Card does NOT work, then

there is a problem with the Electronics Module and should be replaced Page 8-24.

3Switch the Printer OFF and remove the LAN Card. Switch ON the Printer and check if it initializes completely. If it initializes correctly

without any problems, then the problem could be with the Electronics Module and should be replaced Page 8-24.

4If the Printer does not even start to power up (i.e. nothing seen on the Front Panel and the LED in the Power Switch is NOT flashing) without the LAN Card nor the Formatter/Accessory Card, but the power switch LED is ON (all the time) the problem could be with the Electronics Module or the Power Supply Unit.

The red LED will flash a few times when the Printer is started up but if it stays lit (all the time) or flashes continuously, then this indicates that the Formatter/Accessory Card is faulty and should be replaced.

HP Designjet 510 Series printers will only include “HPGL/2 Accessory Card (Processor Card)” installed in the Left Slot of the Electronics Module.

How to Detect Problems Related to the Encoder Disk

Encoder Disk

The following information will help you detect any problems related to the Encoder Disk:

Horizontal and periodic white lines, all of them with the same width depending on the failure mode. This is a clear indication that the Encoder Disk is damaged.

System Error 56:10 — This means that you have to replace the Drive Roller Encoder Sensor Page 8-38. But, if the problem persists, replace the Encoder Disk Assembly.

System Error 81:01 — This means a Paper-Axis shutdown. If this

error code appeared but was NOT caused by a paper jam, then perform the Paper Advance Test Page 4-11. If the Paper Advance Test fails during the third test, the Front Panel will display the following message:

System Error Codes

Introduction

System error codes are hexa-decimal based numbers generally caused by internal system errors. The following pages contain a list of system error codes and their respective descriptions and recommended corrective actions. Only try one recommended action at a time and check if the error code has disappeared.

Continuable and Non-Continuable Error Codes

Some of the Error Codes are continuable, which means you can press Enter on the front-panel and continue working with the Printer. Non-Continuable Error Codes do not allow you to continue working with the Printer, in this case power the Printer OFF and ON again and see if the System Error disappears. If the Error Code reappears, then the Printer requires an on-site visit in order to resolve the problem.

System Error Codes — Explanation

System Error Codes consist of 4 digits which explain which component/system is failing and what action should be taken to resolve the problem.

The following table explains the first 2 digits of the System Error Code:

Ink Supplies Troubleshooting

What are the Ink Supplies?

For each of the four ink colors used in the Printer, there are two separate components: the Printhead and the Ink Cartridge. Both components are coded with an HP selection number to identify the correct replacement supplies.

Ink Cartridges

The Ink Cartridges for the HP DesignJet 500, 510 and 800 Series

Printers require no maintenance or cleaning. As long as each Ink

Cartridge is inserted correctly into its slot, the ink will flow to the

Printheads.

The Ink Cartridges are number coded as follows:

HP No.10 for the Black Ink Cartridge (for the HP DesignJet 500 and 800 Series Printers only).

HP No.82 for the Black Ink Cartridge (for the HP DesignJet 510 Series Printers only).

HP No.82 for the Cyan, Magenta and Yellow Ink Cartridges.

Ink Supplies Troubleshooting

Printheads

The Printheads are extremely durable and do not need to be replaced every time an Ink Cartridge is replaced. They are independent of the Ink Cartridges and will continue giving excellent image quality results even if the Ink Cartridges are low on ink. In order to know when to replace a Printhead, see page Page 3-7, When Should You Replace the Printheads?

The Printheads are number coded HP No.11 for ALL colors.

If you notice a decline in print quality such as lines or dots missing from text / graphics, go to page Page 6-4, Performing the Troubleshooting Procedure.

Identifying the Components

The following illustration will help you identify the components of the ink supplies.

General Information About the Ink Supplies

For optimum results from the printer and modular ink delivery system always follow these guidelines when handling the ink supplies:

Always install the Ink Cartridges and Printheads before the expiration date, which is on the packaging.

Install Ink Cartridges and Printheads in their color-coded slots.

Follow the instructions on the front panel of the Printer during installation.

Avoid unnecessary removal of the Ink Cartridges and Printheads.

When turning off the Printer always use the power Off button located on the left hand side of the Printer. The Printheads are then stored correctly which prevents them from drying out.

The Ink Cartridges should never be removed while the Printer is printing. They should only be removed when the Printer is ready for you to replace them. The front panel will guide you through the removal and installation procedure. See page Page 3-6, When Should You Replace the Ink Cartridges?
