26 Chapter 3 Use and maintain


Use the following guidelines:

● For each tray, load only the supported media sizes and types. Loading unsupported media can
cause paper jams and other issues.

● When loading media, close the paper guides so that they are flush against the media stack. The
paper guides help the product to identify the media size correctly.

● On the product control panel, verify that the tray configurations are correct. Make sure that the
media size and type selected for each tray match the size and type of media actually loaded in the
trays.

● Tray configuration on the control panel typically occurs during initial setup, but you might want to
verify that the configuration settings are correct if printing issues occur.

● When you print, remember to select the correct tray settings for the intended print job in the printer
software. For example, select the correct media type for the tray you are printing to.

Configure trays using the EWS

You can also use the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) to manage tray settings for the printer. In addition
to managing the paper size and type settings for specific trays, you can also manage general tray
settings for features such as Alternative Letterhead Mode, duplexing, and prompts.

For more information, see HP LaserJet Enterprise, HP PageWide Enterprise - Configure the Manage
Trays settings.

Tips for copy and scan success


Follow these tips for successful copying and scanning.

Use the following tips to copy and scan successfully.

● Keep the glass and the back of the lid clean. The scanner interprets anything it detects on the glass
as part of the image.

● Load your original, print-side down, in the back-left corner of the glass.

● To make a large copy of a small original, scan the original into the computer, resize the image in the
scanning software, and then print a copy of the enlarged image.

● If you want to adjust scan size, output type, scan resolution, or file type, and so on, start scan from
the printer software.

● To avoid incorrect or missing scanned text, make sure the brightness is set appropriately in the
software.

● If you want to scan a document with several pages into one file instead of multiple files, start the
scan with the printer software instead of selecting Scan from the printer display.

For more information about how to use printer features, including Print, Copy, Scan and Fax, see the
User Guide for the printer.

4 Theory of operation

This module provides an overview of the operation of major hardware components.

The information given here is at a high level. For more detailed information, see the product Service
Manual, or review the information in the HP LaserJet Theory and Troubleshooting Fundamentals -
Service and Support training course, Course ID: 0001091928.

Student performance objectives

By the completion of this module, students should be able to:

● Understand the basic theory of operation.

● Identify the printer's major hardware systems and components.

Basic operation
The printer routes all high-level processes through the formatter, which stores font information,
processes the print image, and communicates with the host computer.

The basic printer operation comprises the following systems:

● The engine-control system, which includes the high-voltage and low-voltage power supplies (HVPS
and LVPS), fuser control circuits, and the DC controller printed circuit assembly (PCA)

● The laser/scanner system, which forms the latent image on the photosensitive drum

● The image-formation system, which transfers a toner image onto the paper

● The pickup, feed and delivery system, which uses a system of rollers and belts to transport the
paper through the printer

● Accessory (optional paper feeders)

Theory of operation 63
Figure 4-1 Relationship between the main printer systems

Engine-control system
The engine-control system receives commands from the formatter and interacts with the other main
systems to coordinate all printer functions.

Laser Scanning Unit (LSU) overview for the color E78625, E78630, E78635 products
The Laser Scanning Unit (LSU) constructs a latent image by removing electric charges by a laser on the
surface of the drum.

The LSU temperature sensor detects the inside temperature of the LSU. In case of detecting
temperature change inside the LSU, Color Plain Registration (CPR) will be performed. The LSU Laser
Diode (LD) power makes a laser, driving the LSU motor to expose the laser on the drum as a line. The
LSU skew adjustment motor operates when the CPR is activated and enables cyan, magenta, and yellow
color parallelly aligned by black color. The LSU cover is closed to protect the LSU window from toner
contamination, and when the printing job starts, the LSU shutter motor operates to open the LSU cover.
The LSU shutter sensor checks the operation of the LSU cover.

NOTE: When the LSU is replaced or re-installed, CPR reference adjustment in ServiceTools is
recommended.

Developer and drum unit overview for the color E78625, E78630, E78635 products
The developer unit receives toner from the reservoir unit and creates images using the toner with the
drum unit.

The toner concentration sensor determines whether the toner in the developer unit is insufficient. In this
case, the developer unit receives the toner from the reservoir unit. The newly supplied toner is evenly
mixed with the existing toner by the mixing auger. At this time, the developer unit's roller and auger are
driven by the developer motor. The end of the developer unit is connected to the waste toner duct, the
wasted toner after developing process are thrown away to the waste toner duct.

The drum unit receives toner from the developer unit and develops the image. Most of the developed
toner is moved to the transfer unit to combine the yellow, magenta, cyan, and black colors and prints out
on a paper. Remaining toners that are not relocated to the transfer unit are separated from the drum by
the cleaning blade and moved to the waste toner duct.

The drum unit is driven by the drum motor, and the black drum motor drives not only the black drum unit
but also the ITB at the same time. As for the rotation of the drum motor, the drum home sensor checks
whether the drum motor rotates.

NOTE: When replacing drum or drum motor, running “Full Auto Color Registration” in Service Tools is
recommended.

Image Transfer Belt (ITB) overview for the color E78625, E78630, E78635 products
The Image Transfer Belt(ITB) combines the four-color toners to transfer the toner onto the paper.

Each color toner image on the four drums is transferred to the ITB by the first transfer roller inside the
ITB unit.

The image overlapped by four colors is transferred to the paper by the transfer 2 roller. The remaining
toners are removed by the cleaning blade and transferred to the toner collection unit. This process is
completed with one rotation of the ITB.

The ITB engage motor attaches and detaches the yellow, magenta, cyan and black transfer rollers from
drum unit. At the same time, the ITB engage sensor detects whether the ITB is engaged. This movement
will save color toner and color drum lifespan. The ITB engage sensor checks the position of the color
transfer rollers.

Color Plane Registration (CPR) unit overview for the color E78625, E78630, E78635 products
The Color Plane Registration (CPR) unit is the part that superposes four colors such as cyan, magenta,
yellow and black to express images correctly, and also keeps image density at a proper level.

The CPR unit is located below the ITB and reads yellow, magenta, cyan and black toner level. There is a
shutter to prevent foreign debris from contaminating the CPR sensor. When operating the CPR feature,
the CPR shutter opens with the CPR shutter sensor and the CPR shutter motor. Three CPR sensors are
installed at the left, center, and the right side of the CPR unit which detects the registration condition to
adjust printing positions correctly.

NOTE: Color Plane Registration (CPR) is interchangeably used with Auto Color Registration (ACR).
These are synonymous for related parts or terms.

In case of poor color plane registration, “White gap” or “Fuzzy or blurred image” prints out.

Color Toner Density (CTD) and Second Transfer (T2) unit overview for the mono E73130, E73135,
E73140 products
Color Toner Density (CTD) is a series of operations that correct the color density that changes
depending on time and environment. The second transfer roller moves the paper from the registration
unit to the fuser, contacting with the drum unit, and it works electrically to transfer the toner particles
from the drum surface to the paper.

2. The HCI (Tray 4) shift motor operates, moving the shift tray to the lift tray side. The HCI (Tray 4) shift
tray home and end sensor control how much the shift motor is operating. After the tray shifting
process, the shift tray moves back to the original position and the shift gate solenoid turns back to
the initial location.

3. If the HCI (Tray 4) tray is closed by the HCI (Tray 4) tray open sensor, knock-up plate moves upward
until paper reaches the HCI (Tray 4) stack height sensor.

Document feeder / scanner


The standard operation of the document feeder consists of the standby (paper loading) mode, pick, feed,
and lift steps.

The following document feeders/scanner units are available for the printers covered in this course:

● dn bundles: 200-sheet ADF with a scan speed (simplex/duplex) of 90/180 ipm

● z bundles: 200-sheet ADF with a scan speed (simplex/duplex) of 120/240 ipm

NOTE: There is also a 120 ipm 100-sheet DADF scanner (5QK34-67001) available for the flex-build
models.

When the printer duplex scans from the document feeder, the paper moves through one time, because
the document feeder has a contact image sensor (CIS) scanner for side two which is scanned
simultaneously with side one.

For more detailed information about the document feeder and scanner theory, see the product Service
Manual, or review the information in the HP LaserJet Theory and Troubleshooting Fundamentals -

Determine the problem source
When the printer malfunctions or encounters an unexpected situation, the printer control panel alerts
the user to the situation.

If the control panel is not functioning, the technician should skip to the Power On troubleshooting steps.

In addition to looking at the errors on the control panel or in the Error Log, there are a number of tools
that can be used to determine the source of the printer issue. For detailed troubleshooting flowcharts
and procedures, see the product Service Manual, or review the information in the HP LaserJet Theory
and Troubleshooting Fundamentals - Service and Support training course, Course ID: 0001091928.

Printer specific troubleshooting tools


There are a variety of tools that are built into the printer to help with troubleshooting.

The following sections will introduce some of the printer-specific tools that can be used. For a more
comprehensive list of tools for troubleshooting, see the product Service Manual and the HP LaserJet
Troubleshooting Fundamentals training course.

LED Diagnostics (formatter)


Learn about troubleshooting the printer using formatter LEDs.

Network LEDs

The formatter has two network port LEDs. When the printer is connected to a properly working network
through a network cable, the amber LED indicates network activity, and the green LED indicates the link
status.

A blinking amber LED indicates network traffic. If the green LED is off, a link has failed. For link failures,
check all of the network cable connections. In addition, try to manually configure the network card link
speed setting by using the printer control panel.

For instructions on how to configure the link speed from the control panel, see the printer Service
Manual.

Troubleshooting power-on or blank control panel problems


If the printer is not powering on correctly, use the following steps to begin troubleshooting the problem.

1. Verify that power is available to the printer. If the printer is plugged into a surge protector or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS), remove it. Plug the printer directly into a known operating wall
receptacle (make sure that the wall receptacle provides the correct voltage and current for the
printer).

NOTE: Unplug any other devices on the same circuit that the printer is using.

2. Try another known operating wall receptacle and a different power cord.

3. To eliminate a thermal switch issue, unplug the power cord and leave it unplugged for over 20
minutes. Re-attach the power cord, and then turn the power on again.

4. During normal operation, a cooling fan or fans begin to spin briefly after the printer power is turned
on. Place a hand over the cover vent or vents to feel air passing out of the printer. Lean close to
the printer to hear the fan or fans operating. Look for illuminated lights on the control panel and
formatter LEDs.

NOTE: Operational fans, motors, and control-panel lights indicate the following:

● AC power is present at the printer.

● The power supply is providing either or both 24 Vdc and 5 Vdc voltages.

● The DC controller microprocessor is functioning.

130 Chapter 5 Solve problems


5. If the printer powers on, but the control panel is blank, make sure that the control-panel display wire
harness or harnesses and flat flexible cable or cables (FFCs) are connected.

NOTE: The following conditions indicate that the printer has frozen while in Sleep mode or Sleep
delay. Opening a door or pressing a control-panel button should cause the printer to wake up from
Sleep mode or Sleep delay.

● The control panel home button LED is illuminated

● The power-switch LED flashes once every three to five seconds

If the control panel is not responding, or if it appears black or blank, try the following:

a. Turn the printer power off, and then on again.

b. Verify that the system is correctly functioning by printing a test page. Does the test page print
correctly?

Is the printer HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) accessible?

c. Verify that the control panel is correctly functioning. If it is not, turn the printer off and
reseat the control-panel assembly cable connections at the control-panel assembly and the
formatter.

d. Try upgrading the firmware. If the firmware upgrade fails to resolve the problem, and the
printer still freezes while in Sleep mode or Sleep delay, elevate the case.

e. If the error persists and the EWS functions correctly, replace the control-panel assembly.

6. If normal start-up noises are not heard, turn the printer off, and then remove any installed
accessories (for example, envelope feeders, paper feeders, or output accessories).

7. Turn the printer on, and then listen for start-up noises. If normal start-up noises are heard, the
problem might be with an accessory.

8. Perform an engine test. The engine test procedure varies by printer, so refer to the printer Service
Manual to get instructions.

9. If the engine test page prints, the print engine is operating normally. Replace the formatter.

CAUTION: Under NO circumstances should a formatter from a different printer be installed during
the repair or troubleshooting processes. The formatter stores important data specific to the model
of printer it is installed in and is not designed to be swapped or repurposed in any way. Return a
used formatter to HP.

Issues that can occur from swapping a formatter include:

● Serial number, product number, product name, page count, and supported cartridges
information change and might make a product unusable

● 33.02.01 Used board/Disk installed errors

If a used formatter is installed and causes this issue, the partner must cover the costs of the
repair in the form of a product replacement. There is no method in the field to recover a printer
where a used formatter is installed.

For more information, see the following topic (c06360930):

Troubleshooting power-on or blank control panel problems 131


● HP internal link: 33.02.01 error or printer name and/or product number changes after replacing
the formatter

● HP external partner link: 33.02.01 error or printer name and/or product number changes after
replacing the formatter

To access the HP partner link, you must first log in to the HP Partner First Portal and then connect
to WISE.

NOTE: If the engine test page does not print, turn the printer off, reconnect the formatter power
connector, remove the embedded MultiMedia Card (eMMC), and then try the engine test again. If
the page prints, the problem might be the eMMC.

10. If after replacing the formatter or eMMC normal start-up noises are still not heard, replace the DC
controller.

11. If the print engine appears to be correctly operating (the engine test page successfully printed) and
the control panel is still blank, replace the power supply.

Troubleshooting an unresponsive printer


If the printer powers up normally and the control panel displays correctly, but the printer appears
unresponsive to print jobs, use the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.

1. The control panel should indicate a Ready, Paused, Sleep mode on or Sleep delay on status. If an
error message displays, resolve the error. Resolve any supply issues.

2. For network connection errors, verify that the network port is active and that the cables are
securely seated.

a. Check the network cable connections between the printer and the computer or network port.
Make sure that the connections are secure.

b. Make sure that the cables are not faulty by trying different cables, if possible.

3. Check the network LEDs (callout 1) to see if they indicate any issues.

NOTE: The figure below is representational only. Network LED location varies by printer.

132 Chapter 5 Solve problems


Table 5-3 Network LEDs

6. Verify that the correct print driver for this printer is installed. Check the program to make sure that
the print driver for this printer is used. The print driver can be downloaded from support.hp.com.

7. Print a short document from a different program that has worked in the past. If this solution works,
the problem is with the program. If this solution does not work (the document does not print),
complete these steps:

a. Try printing the job from another computer that has the printer software installed.

b. If the printer is connected to the network, connect the printer directly to a host computer with
a USB cable. Redirect the printer to the correct port, or reinstall the software (make sure to
select the new connection type).

NOTE: The host USB port may disabled from the factory. If so, this port needs to be activated
first before connecting the printer to the USB port.

4. Make sure the tray is not overfilled. If it is, remove the entire stack of paper from the tray, straighten
the stack, and then return some of the paper to the tray.

5. Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides
so they are touching the paper stack without bending it.

6. Make sure that the tray is fully inserted in the printer.

7. If you are printing on heavy, embossed, or perforated paper, use the manual feed feature and feed
sheets one at a time.

8. Open the Trays menu on the printer control panel. Verify that the tray is configured correctly for the
paper type and size.

9. Make sure the printing environment is within recommended specifications.

Image-quality troubleshooting
Various printer hardware problems can cause image-quality defects.

Image-quality problems are defined as:

● Print-quality (PQ) problems: PQ problems are associated with the print engine (printer base) of an
MFP printer (single function non MFP image-quality problems are always PQ defects). PQ defects
appear on pages that are printed by the print engine and not feed through an integrated scanner
assembly (ISA).

142 Chapter 5 Solve problems


● Copy-quality (CQ) problems: CQ problems are associated with the integrated-scanner assembly
(ISA) portion of an MFP printer. CQ defects appear on pages that are copied using the document
feeder or flatbed glass.

For detailed information about troubleshooting specific PQ and CQ defects, see the product Service
Manual or the following topic (c06450141):

● HP internal link: Image Quality Troubleshooting Guide

● HP external partner link: Image Quality Troubleshooting Guide

NOTE: To access the HP partner link, you must first log in to the HP Partner First Portal and then
connect to WISE.

For information about supported print media, see the HP LaserJet Printers - Print Media Guide.

When troubleshooting the source of some print image defects, one solution is to identify if it is a
repetitive defect (does the print quality defect appear multiple times on the printed page?). If this
is the case, you can use a ruler to measure occurrences of repetitive image defects to help solve
image-quality problems. You can find a printer-specific repetitive defects table and more information in
the printer Service Manual.

Fasteners used in this printer


Learn about fasteners used in the printer.

WARNING! Make sure that assemblies are replaced with the correct screw type. Using the incorrect
screw (for example, substituting a long screw for the correct shorter screw) can cause damage to the
printer or interfere with printer operation. Do not intermix screws that are removed from one assembly
with the screws that are removed from another assembly.

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.

Always take note of the length, diameter, color, type, and location of each removed screw. Make sure
that screws are installed in the original location they were removed from during reinstallation.

Precautions when replacing parts


Learn about precautions when replacing parts.

Precautions when assembling and disassembling

● Use only HP approved replacement parts. Make sure that the part number, product name, voltage,
and current or temperature ratings are correct. Failure to do so might result in damage to the
machine, circuit overload, fire, or electric shock.

● Do not make unauthorized changes or additions to the printer. Unauthorized changes might cause
the printer to malfunction and create electric shock or fire hazards.

148 Chapter 6 Service


● Use caution when dismantling the unit. Take note of the location of each screw or other part. This
printer contains different kinds of screws. Using the wrong screw might lead to system failure, short
circuit or electric shock.

● Do not disassemble the laser scanner assembly. Once the laser scanner assembly is
disassembled, dust might enter the mirror chamber and will seriously degrade print quality. There
are no serviceable parts inside the laser scanner assembly.

● Regularly check the condition of the power cable, plug and socket. Bad contacts might lead to
overheating and fire. Damaged cables might lead to electric shock or unit malfunction.

Precautions when handling PCAs

Static electricity might damage a PCA. Use approved, anti-static precautions when handling or storing a
PCA. Service personnel should use grounded ESD straps and/or mats when handling PCAs.

● Precautions when moving and storing a PCA

– Keep PCA in a conductive case, anti-static bag, or wrapped in aluminum foil.

– Do not store a PCA where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

● Precautions when replacing a PCA

– Disconnect power cables before disconnecting other cables.

– Do not touch any soldered connections, connector terminals, or other electronic parts when
handling insulated parts.

● Precautions when checking a PCA

– Touch a grounded area of the printer chassis to discharge static electric charge before
touching a PCA.

– Do not touch a PCA with bare hands or metal objects. Doing so might create a short circuit or
cause electric shock. Use caution when handling a PCA with moving parts such as sensors,
motors, or lamps, as they might become very hot.

– Use caution when fitting and removing screws. Watch for hidden screens. Make sure that the
correct screw is used and make sure that when toothed washers are removed, they are refitted
in their original positions.

– Place the product on an ESD workstation or mat, or use an ESD strap (if one is available). If
an ESD workstation, mat, or strap is not available, ground yourself by touching the sheet-metal
chassis before touching an ESD-sensitive part.

Releasing plastic latches

Many of the parts are held in place with plastic latches. The latches might easily break. Be careful when
releasing them. To remove such parts, press the hook end of the latch away from the part to which it is
latched.
