For HP-authorized personnel only
Purpose
This service manual provides the procedures and information necessary to troubleshoot mechanical faults and
print-quality problems, perform diagnostic tests and calibrations, and service the HP Latex 1500 Printer.
For information about using the printer, see the user guide.
Chapters
1: Using this manual
The purpose of this chapter is to make a summary, chapter by chapter, of the contents of this service manual.
2: Printer systems
Use this chapter as a reference for technical information about the subsystems, components, and how they
work together.
Of particular importance are the diagrams included for each subsystem of the printer. They can be useful for
both troubleshooting and disassembly.
3: Safety requirements
This is an industrial printer with high voltages, and it can be hazardous to service. This chapter explains how to
service the printer safely.
4: Troubleshooting
This chapter explains how to respond to various kinds of printer problems that you may encounter.
5: Diagnostics
Use this chapter whenever you need to perform a diagnostic test, service utility, or service calibration. This
chapter is meant to provide procedures and relevant information, not troubleshooting information, which is in
the troubleshooting chapters.
The procedures are described in full, so that you know any relevant values for the test, as well as information
about what the printer is actually doing during the test.
The goal of diagnostic tests is to locate the root cause of the problem and the corresponding system error code
or message that will provide you with the logical steps to resolution.
● Part numbers
Useful information such as access notes and screw types (head sizes) are provided to help you work efficiently.
Whenever you remove or replace a component, check the Service Calibration Matrix at the beginning of the
chapter, which tells you the tests, utilities, and calibrations that must be performed after removing or replacing a
component, and in what order.
8: LogMeIn rescue
This chapter describes how to use LogMeIn rescue, a customer troubleshooting tool to obtain support remotely
without the need of a service visit.
● Within the same site, over ramps or stairs (the printer must be lifted)
● To a different site, with possibility of freezing, which can damage the tubes, causing ink leakages (the ink
must be removed, as it is water-based and can freeze).
Readership
The primary readers of this service manual are HP service engineers, although secondary readership may
include resellers. All procedures must be performed by HP service engineers, except those clearly marked
otherwise.

NOTE: This line is optional; the printer can be configured with a single power cord.
● The main power line to power the rest of the machine (three phase); e-box, heaters, DC and AC power
supplies.
The main power is switched on or off through the main printer switch, and the IPS power is switched on or off
through the IPS.
All the AC loads are single phase rated for 200–240 V AC. The main power line is separated inside the e-cabinet
into three single-phase lines. The following power input configurations are supported:
● High line voltage: a 380–415 V line-to-line system (220–240 V line-to-neutral) separated into:
The separation into three single-phase lines is done through the configuration cross-connectors in TB-1, TB-2,
TB-3, and TB-4. For high line voltage mains a neutral is required, for low line voltage a neutral wire is not needed
(and should never be installed).
Through the TB-1, TB-2, TB-3, TB-4, and the configuration cross-connectors, one of the phases of the main
power can be connected to the single-phase input, so that the printer can be powered by a single power cord.
See the installation guide and site preparation guide for details and specifications.

to provide visual feedback. The configuration is done by the installation cross-connectors; see the installation
guide for further information on how to connect and configure the e-cabinet for each supported power system.
As a result of all the loads being single phase, the printer is an unbalanced three-phase load when connected to
a three-phase power line. The average power consumption is distributed as evenly as possible among the three
phases, but it will never be perfectly balanced.
NOTE: Note that the IPS is a standard PC and should be turned off through the operating system, not by
switching off the AC power.
● 3 lines for the curing system, with ACB and RCD (GFI) protection on each line
● 2 lines for the drying system, with ACB and RCD (GFI) protection on each line
● 1 line for the vacuum and vapor pumps protected by the RCBO
This separation of the AC lines allows us to identify better where a problem with the AC part comes from.
● 3 lines for the curing system, with ACB and RCD (GFI) protection on each line
● 2 lines for the drying system, with ACB and RCD (GFI) protection on each line
The DC power coming out of the AC/DC power supplies is connected to the e-cabinet PCA which has a power
input for each PSU. The e-cabinet PCA’s main role is to distribute and monitor the DC power to the printer
subsystems; it also provides power and monitors the safety circuit.

● E-cabinet PCA
General view
AC and DC areas
This is a general view of the AC and DC power spatial distribution. Inevitably, some AC and DC cables share a
stretch of their routing, but in general they are as separated as possible.
AC input
DC power supplies
PSU configuration
There are seven AC/DC power supplies that supply power to most of the electrical components of the machine
(motors, valves, fans, solenoids, electronics…).
These power supplies have various output voltages and are powered on/off in different moments. Here is a

The side nearest to the e-box is the DC power output and signals interface.
In case of a blown fuse, an alert will be shown by the Internal Print Server indicating which fuse needs to be
replaced.
● Printhead PCAs
● Service station
● Scan-axis motor
● Drying AC power
● Vacuum pumps
● Vapor removal
● The printer firmware must be active and must allow enabling the power (indicated by blinking the Enable
button).
● The user must press the blue Enable button on the side of the e-cabinet.
● The printer starts booting up by switching on the main switch or starting up the e-box through the Internal
Print Server.
● Among other checks, while starting up the printer checks the status of the emergency stop buttons. If one
or more buttons are pressed, it waits for the user to release them (a message is displayed by the Internal
Print Server).
● When all the initial checks have been passed, the printer waits for the user to press the Enable button (the
button blinks and the Internal Print Server displays a message).
● Once the Enable button has been pressed, the safety relay activates the power to all systems, and the
printer continues its start-up sequence until it is ready to print.
Emergency stop
If one or more emergency stop buttons are pressed, the safety relay will deactivate and cut power to all the
potentially dangerous systems. Once it has been deactivated, the safety relay can only be reactivated with user
intervention, and the three conditions stated above must be satisfied again.
Safety interlocks
There are two safety interlock switches located one at the front door and the other at the loading table. Those
switches control the power of the carriage motor and the heaters in the curing and drying systems. If either of
those interlocks is activated by opening a door, the power to those systems will be cut off. However, the safety
relay will not be deactivated, so when the door is closed the systems will be powered on again without further
user intervention.
E-box
Functionality
The E-box is the main processing and control system in the printer. It is a metal enclosure located at the rear
right of the printer where main electronics are located.
Components
● Formatter: The formatter is the motherboard of the printer, similar to a PC motherboard. Its main functions
are the processing (formatting) of printing data coming from the Internal Print Server and the coordination
ENWW E-box 23
For HP-authorized personnel only
of printer subsystems. The formatter provides a SATA connector to the hard disk drive, PCI express
connections to the four engine PCAs, and a network interface to the Internal Print Server PC.
● Hard disk: The hard disk holds most of the printer’s data, including the firmware. However, key data such as
product number, serial number, and calibration values are also replicated in an internal memory of the IDS
AIR PCA in order to have redundancy protection. Therefore, if the hard disk drive fails, it can be replaced by
a new one, and key data are automatically copied from the IDS AIR PCA to the new hard disk. Similarly, if
the IDS AIR PCA breaks, it can be replaced by a new one, and key data are automatically copied from the
hard disk to the IDS AIR PCA.
It is important to understand what this means in practical terms: the hard disk and IDS cannot be replaced
simultaneously and can be replaced only by new ones. If hard disk or IDS are not new (e.g. they come from
another printer), the appropriate service procedures must be followed, otherwise data may be inconsistent.
● ATX power supply: The power supply for the e-box is a standard ATX unit, similar to a PC ATX power supply.
● E-box fan: In order to prevent the e-box from overheating, there is a fan located on the lid of the enclosure,
electrically connected to the formatter board.
● Printer ID PCA: Contains printer identification. When replacing the Engine PCA, take care not to lose it.
● Engine PCAs: The main controller of the printer. It is responsible for all the processes performed in real-
time, and is the ultimate controller of all electromechanical systems. The Engine PCA controls all substrate-
path components (drive roller, spindle motors, substrate-advance sensor, etc.), and all non-substrate-path
components (carriage, scan-axis motor, print-head cleaning assembly, service station, etc.). Attached to
this board is the Printer ID PCA. The engine boards control the real-time routines, namely:
– Running the real-time servo controls for the position and speed of the mechanical actuators
– Communicating with other electronics boards that control delegated actuators and sensors
There are four identical engine boards directly connected to the hard disk drive. The following functionality
map summarizes each board controlling tasks:
Engine PCA 1
– Regular Line sensor and optional Day and Night carriage Line sensor
– DD (J131 ODD)
– ELA Reset

For HP-authorized personnel only
Engine PCA 4
– OMAS2 (J481)
– DD (J431 ODD)
– 2 Turbofalcon
– ELA Reset
● Engine adaptor PCAs: The engine adaptor boards are responsible for:
– Converting the electrical signals coming from/going to the engine boards to suitable voltage levels
required by the machine.
There are four identical engine adaptor PCAs connected to each of the engine boards via flat cables and to
the e-box interconnect via board-to-board connections.
● E-box interconnect PCA: The e-box interconnect PCA centralizes the connectors for the cables going to all
the subsystems (except the printheads). It also has LEDs that enable visual diagnosis without accessing the
interior of the e-box enclosure.
See Troubleshooting without system errors on page 370 for details about connections and diagnostic
LED’s.
● Fiber-optics PCA: The fiber-optics PCA multiplexes the image information generated by the four engine
boards and sends it to the printheads through a single optical fiber.
ENWW E-box 27

Substrate path
Functionality
The substrate path includes all the elements responsible for providing a smooth and accurate motion of the
substrate, and therefore ensuring a consistent and controlled substrate advance.
● Drive roller, transmission, substrate advance motor, encoder disc, and encoder PCA
● Pinch mechanism
NOTE: Substrate input, output, and floor motors include a resistor in the electrical line used to dissipate energy
during the braking process and ensure the integrity of the electrical components.
● The substrate roll is mounted on the rear spindle and is collected on the front spindle. Each of the spindles
has its own transmission and motor.
● The substrate goes from the rear spindle over the drive roller, over the print platen, over the diverter, and
onto the front spindle. The print platen is designed for minimal resistance against the substrate’s advance,
and includes suction holes for the vacuum.
● Vacuum is applied to keep the substrate flat on the print platen. There are different vacuum levels
depending on the substrate used. The vacuum level is determined automatically during the loading of the
substrate.
● The substrate is advanced by the motor of the drive roller. The drive roller system advances the substrate
under control. The encoder disc and encoder PCA provide feedback on the substrate advance.
● There is a pinch mechanism to prevent the substrate from slipping against the drive roller. The pinch
mechanism is composed of 22 covered pinch submodules, assembled along a beam also known as the
loading table.
This beam is articulated to the side walls of the bottom structure and is manually actuated. The movement
is assisted by a pair of torsion springs and two clamps fix the beam in the top position.
● Pinch bump: Installed on a new support to prevent the part from bending.
● The substrate-advance sensor is an optical sensor, located underneath the print platen. It takes pictures of
the back of the substrate as it moves across the platen. These pictures evaluate the precision of the
substrate movement. The evaluations result in a set of values that describe the substrate advance error
and are used to make automatic precision adjustments while the substrate is being printed.
NOTE: The substrate-advance sensor cannot see the fibers on certain substrates, such as transparent
substrate or very dark substrates. In these cases, the sensor is disabled automatically.
The image from the sensor is deformed under high temperature conditions and the relative distances
measured are inexact, producing wrong substrate advances and print-quality problems such as banding or
graininess.
The sensor’s field of view is a rectangle of 5 × 1 mm aligned with the direction of substrate movement. The
area of the picture used to perform image recognition on paper fibers is in the central 4 mm, so two
identical fiducials are marked at the extremes of the field of view without impacting in the images used to
recognize the substrate.
The glass on which the fiducials are printed has almost no thermal expansion and the fiducials keep their
relative position.
By comparing the current fiducial distance with the initial one, the optics system thermal deformation is
compensated.
● There are 2 diverters: the upper and the lower diverter. The bottom plate is supported between both
diverters. Diverters are composed of small plastic wheels that create a rolling surface effect. The diverters
create an angle in the substrate path after the print zone. This bends the substrate and thus isolates
possible wrinkles in the curing area from the print zone.
An integrated differential system is used to keep the same tension in both rolls of substrate mounted on the
same spindle, regardless of the width or diameter of each roll.
However, for optimum results, it is recommended that both rolls have the same width and diameter.
To fix both cores to the spindle, two independent air cameras need to be pressurized via two air valves located at
both ends of the spindle. For more information on dual-roll usage, see the user guide.
NOTE: For Optimum IQ, the dual roll must be used in Roll to Roll Configuration Dual Roll in Roll to Free Fall
configuration may not work (Output tensions cannot be compensated)
There are also four dedicated data cables coming from the e-box interconnect PCA, one for each of the motors:
Media Input, Media Output, Media Advance, Media Floor (not included, accessory). Encoder cables go from the MI,
MO and MF motors to the e-box interconnect PCA. The MA motor has a separate analog encoder disc and PCA to
process the motor position. This analog encoder PCA is connected to the OMAS & VACUUM controller PCA.
The platen vacuum pump is powered with AC power coming from the e-cabinet PCA. Note that the AC power is
not distributed through the e-cabinet PCA so the power cable comes from a connector in the e-cabinet back
panel. The pump is controlled by the Vacuum PCA.
Power and data cables for the Vacuum Ctrl PCA come from the e-box interconnect PCA. The vaccum PCA and the
OMAS PCA are connected with a power cable, and data cable and the Substrate Advance encoder signal. The
OMAS sensor is connected to the OMAS PCA.
Note that although the OMAS & Vacuum PCA are 2 different boards, the service part is the same assembly.
● In-line slitters are a new accessory on the HP Latex 1500. The vertical cutters (4) allow the substrate to be
cut in the direction of the substrate advance.
IMPORTANT: The in-line slitters should be removed from the universal mounting beam when they are not
being used. Before loading the substrate make sure they are not installed into the beam.
CAUTION: Do not use the Ink Collector Kit when the in-line slitters are installed, as the cutting position can
damage the protector of the kit. You are recommended to uninstall the in-line slitters when working with
the ink collector.
● LED proofing lights: New optional accessory for the HP Latex 1500. LED proofing lights include 2 sets of
lights:
– Front light: Mounted underneath the Universal mounting beam (UMB), illuminating print output for
frontal visual assessment.
– Back light: Two strips of LEDs illuminating from the rear of the substrate output, provides an on-
printer light source for visual assessment of backlit prints; no need to stop the printer to view in a
light box.
The LED proofing lights can easily be managed and switched on from the IPS.
CAUTION: LED proofing lights can reach high temperatures; take caution when approaching and
working close to LED strips.
Impelling system
Functionality
The scan-axis impelling system is responsible for providing controlled motion to the carriage across the scan
axis, for the purposes of printing and moving the printheads into a position where they can be serviced and
maintained.
It also includes the delivery system, which is composed of the ink tubes and cables going through the chain to
the carriage.
Components
● The scan-axis motor, located on the right side of the printer, drives the belt that moves the carriage.
Like the substrate-path motors, the scan-axis motor includes a resistor in the electrical line used to
dissipate energy during the braking process and ensure integrity of the electrical components. The resistor
also acts as a safety brake in case any interlock or e-stop is activated (for example, window is opened).
● The shaft support (blue piece), is located on the right side of the printer and helps to support tension
generated by the motor shaft belt.
● The scan-axis impelling belt is connected to the carriage on both sides, and runs from the scan-axis motor
to the scan-axis belt tensioner. The motor drives the belt, which in turn moves the carriage back and forth.
● The scan-axis belt tensioner, located on the left side of the printer, acts as a pulley support for the scan-
axis impelling belt opposite the motor. Two springs mounted between the pulley and scan-axis sideplate
maintain tension on the belt. When the tensioner and belt length are correctly adjusted, one mark has to be
visible from both sides on the tensioner pins.
● The scan-axis encoder strip is a plastic strip running the length of the scan axis. As the carriage is moved
back and forth by the scan-axis impelling system, an encoder sensor mounted on the carriage reads the
encoder to determine the speed and position of the carriage. This feedback is then used to control the
scan-axis motor movements.
● The carriage chain assembly contains the 7 ink tubes to control the carriage component. It is designed to
allow a controlled bending radial while the carriage moves back and forth and also protects the ink tubes
and power/data lines housed inside. The following pictures show the cables/tubes distribution inside the
chain and in the carriage clamp. Note that the fiber-optics cable is routed independently through the lower
side of the clamp.
Theory of operation
Carriage movement
A belt is attached to each side of the carriage. The belt is driven by the scan-axis motor mounted on the right
side of the printer. On the left side of the printer, the scan-axis belt tensioner acts as a pulley support for the
belt, using a simple spring mechanism to maintain tension on the belt.
Belt tension
Force is applied to the belt by springs on the left side of the printer.
There is also a dedicated data cable coming from the e-box interconnect PCA. The scan axis encoder signal is
connected to the printhead interconnect board. See Figure 2-9 E-cabinet PCA on page 83 and Figure 2-17 E-
box on page 91 for details.
This changes the distance between the substrate path and the carriage assembly, allowing the user to load
substrate and print on substrates of different thicknesses.
● Normal printing position is the nominal printing position and is calibrated and set at the manufacturing line
at 2.3 mm (0.09 in). When the scan axis is in this position, the complete assembly is set onto the side walls.
● Custom position is used to print on the thicker substrate types. It is a customer-selectable setting.
● Loading position is the highest selectable position; it is used to load substrate. The default setting is 40 mm
(1.57 in). This movement can be cancelled.
Components
The PRS system is composed of two independent lifter assemblies, which work together in order to raise and
lower the printer’s top structure.
2. Column guide
3. Column shaft
7. Top guide
8. Bottom support
● The PRS home position flag detects when its PRS unit has reached its lowest position, also known as the
homing position. The flags are located at both sides of the scan beam.
Theory of operation
The linear actuator Linak LA23 (linear motor) raises and lowers the top structure. The top structure is guided by
two column shafts.
The homing of the system (home position flag activated) is the movement that releases the load in the linear
actuator from the top structure weight. The top structure rests on contact surfaces in the bottom structure, it
defines the print position for flexible medias. It also represents the absolute zero.
Engage process
The engage movement is the process where the Linear Actuator starts to lift until it touches the scan beam, and
is ready to raise.
The home position is the normal printing position. Upwards movements to the higher printing positions can be
performed accurately.
There is a data cable coming from the e-box Interconnect PCA to control the motors movement. This cable
arrives to the first Motor Drive PCA and the other lifter PCA’s are connected in series.
The liner encoder is a line counter used to position the PRS system. It is a signal control.
Ink system
Functionality
The Ink Supply Module (ISM) is located on the left side of the printer and delivers a continuous supply of ink to
the printheads. It tracks and determines when an ink cartridge needs to be replaced. The system is designed to
allow ink cartridge replacement while printing (hot swap).
Components
● Ink cartridges
● Printheads
● TRS
● The intermediate ink tanks, located at the left side of the ink system compartment.
● The air circuit module, located at the left side the intermediate tanks, provides the air pressure needed to
pressurize the intermediate ink tanks and send ink to the printheads.
● The air pressure bottle prevents cross-contamination of ink when a broken bag occurs inside an
intermediate ink tank. The bottle also works as a cushion device for the air pressurization system.
● The seven ink pumps, located at the back of each supply support, move the ink from the supplies to the
intermediate tank.
● The Evalves NO, located on the lower tray, manages the flow of ink to obtain precise pressure measures.
● Seven ink pressure sensors.PIP (pressure in printer)are used to measure the ink pressure in each ink line.
New service parts require a service procedure to enter calibration values manually.
● The ink cartridge connector set connects the ink system to the ink cartridges. The ink connectors also read
the acumen data from the cartridges, and can detect whether the connector is correctly inserted.
● There is one IDS INK PCA (Freya) board and one IDS AIR PCA (Paz) board controllling the entire ink system.
Theory of operation
Ink supply hot swap
The printer allows the user to change the ink cartridge while the printer is printing, as it is actually using the ink
stored in the intermediate tanks.
Once the quantity of ink falls below a certain threshold, the printer calculates the amount of ink fired from the
printheads and resupplies the intermediate tank with ink, while at the same time the flow of ink to printheads is
maintained.
Air system functionality: the intermediate tanks push the ink to the printheads
The system has two air pumps. The air pressure is distributed using an air bottle with air tubes going to the
tanks. Each tank has a bag inside that holds the ink. In order to send the ink to the printheads, the air pumps
push air into the enclosed space of the tanks around the bags to pressurize them and force ink out.
The air pressure is constantly monitored by an air pressure sensor located on the IDS AIR PCA (Paz). The system
is able to depressurize with the relief valves located in the air system.
Pip sensor:
When a broken bag is detected by the sensor located inside the ink pressure sensor, the relief valve opens to
release the air pressure of the system. The ink goes at maximum flow and falls into the bottom of the bottle,
preventing cross-contamination of colors.
● Red: Connector connected to the cartridge, but communication problem with the Acumen. Cannot use the
cartridge.
● White blinking: Filling intermediate ink tank or reading Acumen. Do not disconnect!
Carriage
Functionality
The carriage performs the actual printing on the substrate. It contains the printheads and printhead control
electronics, the printhead primer system, two arrays of aerosol extraction fans, the Scan Axis encoder sensor,
the line sensor, the sensor for the Day and Night accessory and the spectrophotometer.
Components
The picture below shows a top view of the carriage with its components. Note how the printheads are numbered
by the printer firmware. All related system errors use these numbers.
● The printheads have five dies, and each die has 2112 nozzles (10,560 total nozzles per printhead). The dies
are divided into two arrays of nozzles (1056 nozzles per array, one for each color).
There is one array of color printheads, three printheads in total, one of each type (C/K, M/Y, lc/lm). There is a
fourth printhead for the optimizer, which is fired before the colored inks, which has multiple benefits:
ENWW Carriage 51
For HP-authorized personnel only
Primer assembly
Each printhead houses a primer assembly that is responsible for squeezing ink out of the printhead nozzles to
remove clogging and maintain printhead health.
Each primer assembly includes an air pump that pushes air into a bag inside the printhead regulator. When this
bag is inflated, the ink channel is opened, the ink pressure received in the printhead pushes the ink out of
printhead through the nozzles. This is called ‘priming’.
There is one Carriage Interconnect PCA located in the rear part of the carriage (covered by a sheet metal
enclosure with numbered holes that allows visibility of the LEDs in order to diagnose without enclosure
removal). It receives 42 V from the e-cabinet. It is responsible for:
● Distributing the required power to all the printhead interconnect boards (42 V).
● Connection with the SOL (the SOL sensor is also known as "colorimeter" and "spectrophotometer").
There is one Carriage power management PCA located in the rear part of the carriage (covered by a sheet metal
enclosure). It is responsible for:
● Powering Carriage Interconnect and Carriage Fiber Optics (aka Slinky) PCAs.
● Powering PCA cooling fan placed at the carriage rear right side.
There are four printhead interconnect boards, one for each printhead. Each one receives 42 V from the carriage
interconnect board. They are responsible for:
● Processing the line sensor signal (printhead interconnect 2) and the Day and Night accessory sensor
(printhead interconnect 1).
ENWW Carriage 53
For HP-authorized personnel only
● Controlling the printhead priming. Printhead interconnect 1 controls priming for printheads 1&4; printhead
interconnect 2 controls priming for printheads 2&3.
● The scan-axis encoder signal passes through printhead interconnect 1 and then goes to Carriage fiber-
optics PCA.
The are two types of printhead interconnect PCA, one for the color printheads (aka sepia) and a different one for
the Optimizer printhead (aka squid).
● Clips: 2 clips between the pen pocket and the board cover (in the case of removal/replacement of any of
the print-head interconnect PCAs, remove these clips to avoid damage to the PCA electrical connectors on
insertion/extraction)
It receives 12 V from the AerosolPCA and it is connected to the fiber-optics coming from the box through the
dynamic chain.
The spectrophotometer is used to perform color calibrations. There is a control board (Sensors Interconnect PCA)
within the spectrophotometer assembly (The sensor is connected to this PCA and this PCA is connected to the
Carriage Interconnect PCA already mentioned above).
This sensor is physically the same as the line sensor but is used for a different application called Day and Night
(D&N); print an image on both sides of transparent/translucid substrate with good image registration on both
sides so the image can be illuminated from the rear at night and show live colors without a double image. When
printing the first side image some fiducials for later reference are included. Once the first side image is printed
ENWW Carriage 55
For HP-authorized personnel only
the output is loaded back into the input side so that the first images are underneath the new print side. The D&N
sensor now measures the position of the previously printed reference fiducials to then print the new image
exactly in position with the previously printed underneath image. The sensor can detect the fiducials since media
is transparent/translucid and is illuminated from below by a LED light array that is placed under the print platen.
Carriage encoder
The carriage encoder set reads the scan-axis encoder strip to determine the position of the carriage on the scan
axis. The scan-axis encoder signal passes through printhead interconnect 1 and then goes to the Carriage Fiber-
Optics PCA.
There are four foams with scrapers (to move away dirt from bearing path). They are placed at the left and right
of the carriage for the front and the rear rod.
See the subsystem block diagram for more details: Figure 2-12 Carriage Subsystem on page 86.
ENWW Carriage 57
For HP-authorized personnel only
Service station
Capping
Functionality
The service station capping is an assembly located on the right side of the printer. It is composed of one
platform, carried without motor and transmission. Movement comes from the carriage.
Capping is the process of sealing the printheads while they are not in use, to keep the printhead’s nozzles in
good condition.
Components
● The capping station sled assembly slides and moves the cap rail from the carriage movement.
● The printhead capping module is the mechanical part that seals the printheads.
Theory of operation
The printheads must be sealed when they are not printing to prevent ink from drying and clogging the nozzles.
The capping procedure is as follows:
1. The printheads are capped by moving the capping station into position underneath the carriage.
2. The capping station moves until the capping module posts come into contact with the carriage bottom
base plate, underneath the printheads.
3. The upper part of the capping station rises into position (shown in red below), pushing the rubber caps up
to seal the printheads. The capping station is forced upwards, capping the printheads.
4. The service station continues to move, pushing the capping head up to seal the printheads.
NOTE: To manually move the carriage, the servo must be deactivated. This happens if the interlocks open
and/or the printer turns off.
NOTE: To return the carriage to homing position, reinitialize the carriage from the IPS.
Installation
5. Verify that the SK cap assembly is correctly positioned inside the sled.
Drop detection
Functionality
The drop detection station is an assembly located on the right side of the printer, in between the web wipe and
the capping station. It has its own motor and transmission.
Drop detection identifies possibly blocked nozzles, allowing the printer to apply the appropriate algorithms to
compensate and maintain print quality.
Components
Drop-detector platform
● The drop-detector motor and transmission is mounted under the drop detector base and drives the
assembly with a belt. It is controlled by an independent motor drive PCA.
● There is one drop-detector sensor for each printhead, each of which is connected to a Drop Detector PCA.
Each Drop Detector PCA is directly connected to the e-box engine PCAs
● The encoder strip and sensor are used during drop detection to ensure that the drops of ink are fired in the
correct place. The strip is located inside the base on the right hand side.
Theory of operation
The drop detection platform system contains 4 drop-detector modules, one for each printhead. Each drop
detector has a window with an LED on one side and a photoreceptor on the other.
The printer sequentially fires drops of ink from each nozzle into the window, through the signal path. This
generates a disturbance in the signal that detects whether the nozzle was fired correctly or not.
Any nozzles that did not fire correctly three times in a row are then disabled, allowing the printer to compensate
and maintain print quality by using the other nozzles. This is the error-hiding algorithm.
The drop detection station motor is controlled through a motor PCA attached on the left bracket of the capping
station. This motor PCA receives 32 V from the e-box interconnect PCA.
There are 4 drop-detector PCAs. Each one has a dedicated flat cable coming from the e-box interconnect PCA.
Each PCA controls 1 drop-detector sensor.
The linear encoder signal goes to the 4 DD PCAs via a single cable.
This roll is moved from an input (top roller) to an output collecting roller (bottom roller), while the cloth is
impelled by the advance of the delivery system pressed with the pinch roll, in a similar way to the substrate path.
There is a rubber blade that moves up and down, lifting the cleaner roll to ensure that the printheads make
proper contact with the cloth.
Components
● The input roll holds the new printhead cleaner roll before it is fed through the roll path. The input roll is
powered by its own motor to maintain uniform tension, and its encoder helps to calculate the remaining
amount of cloth on the roll.
The cleaner roll cores are easily fastened into place and removed using the blue lock at the cap holder.
● The output roll receives the used printhead cleaner roll. The output roll is also powered by its own motor to
maintain uniform tension, and its encoder helps to calculate the remaining amount of cloth on the input
roll.
The cleaner roll cores are easily fastened into place and removed using the blue lock at the cap holder.
● The printhead cleaner roll is moved through the roll path by the drive roller. The pinchwheel mechanism
presses the roll against the drive roller to ensure good contact. The drive roller includes teeth that grip the
roll to help pull it through the path. The drive roller is powered by the advance motor through a gearbox
system.
The pinchwheel mechanism must be opened and closed in order to load and unload a roll. It is important to
ensure that the pinchwheels are correctly closed, otherwise the printer may report false substrate jams
and/or printhead crashes.
● The rubber wiper moves up and down, lifting the cleaner roll to ensure that the printheads make proper
contact with the cloth.
The up/down motion has two main positions. The engage position is the upper position calibrated for
correct printhead cleaning operation, and the disengage position is the lower resting position of the rubber
wiper.
● Each of the four motor systems has its own PCBoard to control its behavior and movement:
Theory of operation
Printhead wipe
A printhead wipe is a printhead cleaning procedure in which the rubber wiper is set to the correct height, and the
carriage passes over the printhead cleaner, from right to left, without stopping (but making contact and being
cleaned).
This routine can be done before or after printing, and also while printing:
● If an image printing is larger than 152 cm (60 in), a dynamic wipe is performed every two swaths.
● If the image is smaller than that, a dynamic wipe is performed every four swaths.
When printing, this routine is performed every two swaths: that is, every time the carriage is over the cleaning
assembly.
Spitting
In order to ensure the good health of the nozzles, the carriage is moved over the printhead cleaning assembly,
and the system performs a spitting operation in which all the nozzles spit a small amount of ink over the surface
of the wiping cloth. There are two spitting modes:
● On the right, every time the carriage is over the cleaning assembly, after wiping.
● On the left, every time the carriage is over the left spitoon
Priming
Priming is performed in order to ensure good nozzle health and to prevent the nozzles from becoming blocked
with dried ink. Ink floods out of the printhead onto the wiper cloth. This procedure can be performed by selecting
the option in the Internal Print Server.
The priming procedure is also performed on new printheads once they are installed, or when a hard cleaning is
launched from the Internal Print Server.
Drying
Functionality
The drying system provides controlled heat to the substrate while it is over the print zone, to evaporate water
from the ink vehicle. Together with the latex optimizer, this heat helps in the dot fixing to prevent bleed and
coalescence.
Heat is provided by hot airflow from chambers located inside the scanbeam.
Components
Components are placed on the scanbeam. The drying system is composed of two symmetrical modules
centered in the scanbeam.
● 4 fans
● 4 heaters
● 12 diffusers
● 4 temperature sensors
ENWW Drying 67
For HP-authorized personnel only
Each drying module is controlled though a dedicated drying enclosure PCA located at the carriage tower. Two AC
power cables come from the e-cabinet AC converters to the drying PCAs (one of them over the scan beam
through the dynamic chain) to power each of the modules.
For more information see the block diagram Figure 2-16 Drying Subsystem on page 90.
Theory of operation
The substrate over the print is heated by forced convection, its power level is regulated in close-loop mode. Each
one of the modules is controlled independently and the PWM level can be set individually.
Sensors placed in chambers are used for monitoring and operating temperature.

Curing
Functionality
The curing system provides controlled heat and airflow to the ink and substrate after the print zone. This causes
the latex particles to coalesce and form a continuous film on the substrate. Ink pigments are encapsulated inside
this film.
The complete module can be moved horizontally to allow substrate loading. Two latches fix the module in the
printing position.
The lower beam can be also considered as part of the vapor removal system as it collects vapors coming from
curing process that condense into a waste bottle located inside the ISM. For more details of the vapor removal
system, see the vapor removal section.
Components
The curing system is composed of 6 base modules.
● 2 heater/fan assemblies
● 2 temperature sensors
ENWW Curing 71
For HP-authorized personnel only
● 1 perforated plate
Each heater/fan assembly is controlled independently, so that the system has 12 functional chambers.
Theory of operation
The temperature of each of the 12 air chambers is controlled by means of a closed-loop system that adjusts the
power provided to the heater to reach the target temperature. This hot air passes through the perforated plates
located at the rear of each base module and reaches the ink on the substrate to allow film formation.
The air is recirculated to reduce power consumption. However, a net airflow exists from the print zone to the
lower beam to collect excess vapor. See the vapor removal section for more details.
During the warm-up phase, extra power is applied to the heaters and the airflow is set to the minimum. During
the cool-down phase, the heaters are turned off and the airflow is set to the maximum.
Each heater/fan module has a safety thermostat to avoid overheating. The thermostat opens at 110°C and its
state is monitored by the PCA. Apart from the heater power and temperature monitoring, each fan has
independent power control and diagnosis through the curing PCA. The air pressure is monitored inside each
functional chamber to ensure that the system is working correctly.
The base modules turn on and off automatically, depending on the substrate width, to optimize power
consumption by the system.
The HP Latex 1500’s clamps to open and close the curing module are located beneath the window:
Closed:
CAUTION: Before you close the front window, ensure that the clamps are closed and the curing module is in
place.
Two power cables are connected to each curing PCA (six PCAs in total):
ENWW Curing 73
For HP-authorized personnel only
Each resistor-fan assembly is connected to the PCA with two cables, the AC for the resistor and the DC for the
fan.
Two temperature sensors (one per chamber) are connected to each curing PCA.
Power (DC and AC) and data cables enter and exit each curing PCA to connect all six in series.
AC power
Three AC cables come from the e-cabinet back panel to the entrance connector of the subsystem. From there:
● One AC cable goes to Curing PCA 1. Curing PCAs 1 and 4 are connected in series.
● The second AC cable goes to Curing PCA 2. Curing PCAs 2 and 5 are connected in series.
● The third AC cable goes to Curing PCA 3. Curing PCAs 3 and 6 are connected in series.
DC power
Two DC cables come from the e-cabinet PCA to the entrance connector of the subsystem. From there:
● One DC cable goes to Curing PCA 1. Curing PCAs 1, 2, and 3 are connected in series.
● The other DC cable goes to Curing PCA 4. Curing PCA 4, 5, and 6 are connected in series.
Data
One LAN cable comes from the e-box interconnect to module 1. From there all the modules are 00connected in
series.
Vapor removal
Functionality
The vapor removal system removes, condenses, and collects the low-volatile co-solvents (VOCs) evaporated
during the curing process in a controlled way. This provides a comfortable working environment and prevents
uncontrolled condensations on the printer elements, thus maintaining printer performance and reliability.
Components
The system is composed of the following elements:
● Heat exchanger
● Vacuum blower
● Waste bottle
● Silencer
Theory of operation
The curing beam is designed with a pattern of decreasing holes to extract the same airflow along the length of
the beam. The vapor is driven through the interior of the curing lower beam by a vacuum pump located in the
ISM. Some of the VOCs condense by wall contact along the beam, but mainly through a heat exchanger and
demister pad located in the ISM. The condensates are driven to a 10 l container (waste bottle) through a drainage
system.
The heat exchanger is composed of 4 fans that blow ambient air through the airflow coming from the curing
beam. This lowers the temperature of the airflow and causes its condensation.
After the heat exchanger, there is a demister element to get rid of the high mass particles, which may still be
airborne, by impaction. Those particles, together with the condensate formed in the plates of the exchanger, are
drained into a bottle.
The exhaust air temperature should be similar to the ambient temperature to avoid any visible vapor formation
leaving the control system.
The 24V cable to power the fans goes from the e-cabinet PCA to the ISM connection panel. The control data
cable goes from the e-box interconnect PCA to the ISM connection panel.
The PCA data and power cables are connected from the ISM connection panel to the vapor removal PCA. The
blower power cable is connected from the ISM connection panel to the blower. The subsystem is controlled in an
open loop, providing constant PWM.

Ink Collector
The ink collector kit is an accessory for the HP Latex 1500 Printer designed to protect the printer from the ink
that falls through porous substrates (textile mesh, flag, and voile).
NOTE: Do not use the Ink collector kit when the in-line slitters are installed, the cutting position can damage
the protector of the kit. It is recommended to uninstall the in-line slitters when working with the ink collector.
Functionality
Before printing on porous substrates (textile mesh, flag, and voile), you must install the ink collector kit available
as an accessory, to protect the printer from the ink that falls through the substrate. The kit should be removed
before printing on non-porous substrates.

Components
4 Protector modules
NOTE: Instructions on how to mount and maintain this accessory can be found in the User guide.
The process for printing a job using double-sided day and night workflow is separated into 2 clear steps:
● Print Side A: First step. Similar to a normal print job procedure with the difference that some fiducials are
added on the plot contour that are read by the light sensor during the side B process for positioning the 2
sides of the plot perfectly.
● Print Side B: Second step. First, rewind side A using the IPS specific Double-side Day and Night mode. Then
install the platen protector and load the media. Printing side B, the platen light illuminates the rear part of
the media, enabling the light sensor situated on the carriage to read the fiducials printed on side A.
Specific Double-sided Day and Night edge holders are added with the kit to use in case of a crash.
Components
Kit contents:
● Printzone Backlight
2 LED profiles are situated between the Main Roller and Platen and used during Side B printing to retro-
illuminate the fiducials printed on Side A and to be able to center both sides of the Double-sided Day and
Night job.
Both are composed of an aluminum profile with a 24 volt LED strip glued onto it. Left and right profiles
have an asymmetric position for the cable, facilitating the cable routing to both sides of the printer, and
away from printing area. The Right Platen Light has a sheet metal shim that is used to position both
profiles correctly.
Printzone Backlights are fixed to the printer using 4x M3 screws (0515-4880) per profile. After installation
a light diffuser is installed between the aluminum extrusions.
● Power: 24V
This sensor is physically the same as the line sensor but is used for a different application called Day and
Night (D&N); print an image on both sides of transparent/translucid substrate with good image registration
on both sides so the image can be illuminated from the rear at night and show live colors without a double
image. When printing the first side image some fiducials for later reference are included. Once the first side
image is printed the output is loaded back into the input side so that the first images are underneath the
new print side. The D&N sensor now measures the position of the previously printed reference fiducials to
then print the new image exactly in position with the previously printed underneath image. The sensor can
detect the fiducials since media is transparent/translucid and is illuminated from below by a LED light array
that is placed under the print platen.
● Output lights
3. Extract the LED_LAMP from the 8 frontlight brackets along the universal mounting beam.
4. Remove the LED_LAMP (composed of 2 LED lamp modules, 1 LED lamp cable and 1 LED lamp plug)
from the printer.
5. If it’s necessary remove 8 x frontlight brackets that are along the universal mounting beam, removing
2x screws from each one.
6. If it’s necessary remove 1 x frontlight cable cover that is on the right side of the universal mounting
beam, removing 2x screws.
1. Mount the LED_LAMP. Join 2 x LED lamp modules. Connect the LED lamp cable on the right.
3. Extract the 2x LED_LAMPS from the 8 backlight brackets below the curing module.
4. Remove the 2x LED_LAMPS (composed of 2 LED lamp modules, 1 LED lamp cable and 1 LED lamp
plug) from the printer
5. If it’s necessary remove 8 x backlight brackets that are below the curing module, removing 2 x screws
from each one.
1. Mount the 2 x LED_LAMP. For each one, join 2 x LED lamp modules. Connect the LED lamp cable on
the right side.
● Luna
An extra Luna PCA (Luna 317) must be installed to control DSDN workflow, it is situated on the stand beam,
near to Luna 316. The position is predefined, the Stand Beam comes with threaded holes to facilitate the
installation. It is fixed to the printer using 2 x M4 screws (0515-4862).
● LAN Terminal: Must be removed from Luna 316 and installed on Luna 317
A specific eCabinet with 3 power supply (24V) and 3 relays is used to power DSDN LED bars:
● Printzone Backlight
● Output Frontlight
It is situated over the IDS and fixed to the structure by a metallic support. The position for the DSDN
eCabinet is prefixed by 4 pre-existing holes on the right side printer structure. The DSDN eCabinet Support
is supported on the Printer eCabinet Top Panel.
● DSDN: Powered with 230V by Printer eCabinet using 8121-0795 power cable (J1 Socket)
● J7 Socket: Connected to Luna 317 and Printzone Backlight using P4P91-50003 cable
DSDN kit comes with an extra button named “Backlights button” that controls:
● Printzone Backlight
This must be installed on the right side of the curing in a pre-existing hole. To install it is necessary to
remove the plastic cover, and connect to cable K4T88-50244 (pre-routed on printer, Curing Module).
The DSDN Kit comes with a label that must be installed on the Curing Module:
● Platen Protector
Length: 60 inch
The Platen Protector should be used during side B printing in order to avoid scratching printed side A. There
is the possibility to install only 1 platen protector centered on the platen for media narrower than 63
inches. For media from 63 to 126 inches it’s necessary to install both platen protectors.
Components:
● Black fabric with 2 steel rods: glued on the extremes to give to give strength and consistency to the
assembly
● (2) 5x Magnets
Installation:
1. Drop the DN Protector Rib Assembly between the platen and Main Roller. Verify that magnet contact
is correct (the magnets should fix the position).
NOTE: For more information on installation see the DSDN User Guide.
● Edge Holders
A specific MEH edge holder is used for the DSDN workflow to avoid media crashes with media narrower
than the platen protector width.
Components:
● Strip:
Installation:
1. Fix the DSDN Edge Holder “INPUT” side on the DN Protector Rib Assembly. Clipping Process.
2. Fix the DSDN Edge Holder “OUTPUT” side on the Tensioner Element. Use a flat Screwdriver.
NOTE: For more information on installation see the DSDN User Guide.
Dual-Roll
Maximizes productivity in unattended printing when SAB and other substrates up to 63in (1.6M) are used.
NOTE: When using dual-roll, roll-to-roll configuration is recommended for best performance.
Slitters
Slitters (see Universal mounting beam on page 35, In-line slitters blade replacement on page 1453, and Parts
and diagrams on page 599)
The edge holders are highly recommended when printing on textile substrates.
NOTE: When printing with the Double-sided Day and Night Kit, specific edge holders are also needed.
NOTE: The edge holders are not recommended when printing on substrate that is more than 0.4 mm (0.016 in)
thick.
TIP: The edge holders may be easier to deploy if you raise the carriage beam (see “Set the carriage beam
position” in the user guide).
The correct position is illustrated below. The substrate should be free to move, and should not touch the ends of
the edge holder.
CAUTION: Wrongly positioned edge holders could severely damage the printheads and carriage.
NOTE: If the substrate is loaded with the right edge outside the 161 cm position on the spindle ruler, or the left
edge outside the −162 cm position, the edge holders cannot be used because there is not enough space for
them.
Roll-to-free-fall accessory
Functionality
The roll-to-free-fall accessory allows the user to cut and collect the substrate as the printer prints dynamically.
In the Roll-to-free fall configuration, the substrate goes from the input spindle over the main roller, the platen,
the front diverters and then to the tension roller; then it continues to the floor. The roll-to-free-fall roller has its
own pinch mechanism to keep the substrate under tension and to allow dynamic cutting.
The tension roller is moved using a motor in the IPS R2FF side plate.
You can load substrate on the spindle with the printed face inwards or outwards, in this case the spindle will turn
in the opposite direction.
In addition to this, the output spindle can be used as a substrate collector. This is the roll-to-collector
configuration. There is a distance-detecting sensor that controls the output motor when the output spindle is
working as a collector. It keeps the substrate loop within defined limits by means of an infrared measurement
system.
The loop shaper is part of the substrate collection system and gives shape to the loop of substrate that hangs
down from the substrate path. The length of the loop shaper can be changed by removing or adding sections in
order to work with various substrate widths.
The roll-to-free-fall and roll-to-collector configurations can be chosen in the Internal Print Server during the
substrate loading process.
Components
The roll-to-free-fall accessory elements are:
● Side plates (the IPS side plate includes the motor assembly).
● Pinch beam (includes an optical sensor with its PCA control in the middle position of the beam to help the
collection of the media when the collector assembly is enabled). In the IPS die there is the lever that
activates the pinch to get tension in the media.
● Rubber spindle.
The motor assembly is connected to the E-box Interconnect (data, power and control). The breaking resistor
cable connects the motor power cable with the E-box interconnect. The breaking resistor aim is to avoid
damages in the motor assembly.
Media saver
The HP Latex Media Saver preserves substrate and avoids substrate waste during loading. It saves time and
money, and increases production and efficiency. The media saver only supports substrate width between 48 and
63 inches. Dual roll is supported.

Warning labels
Label Explanation
Warning
High leakage current. Current leakage may exceed 3.5 mA. Earth
connection essential before connecting supply. Equipment to be
connected to earthed mains only.
Label Explanation
Crush hazard. Do not touch PPS while moving. When substrate has
been loaded, the carriage descends into its normal position, and
could crush your hand or anything else left underneath it.
Label Explanation
Handle in-line slitters with care and store them safely in their box
when not being used with the printer.
Hazards
Electrical shock hazard
Description
Internal circuits use hazardous voltage capable of causing death or serious personal injury. Turn off the printer
using the branch circuit breakers located in the building's Power Distribution Unit (PDU) before servicing the
printer. The printer must be connected to earth at mains outlets only.
Particular attention must be paid to the drying and curing subsystem as well as the vapor removal subsystem,
which uses hazardous voltages. Even when the drying and curing subsystem and vapor removal are not
operating, there will still be parts of the electrical circuit with hazardous voltage levels.
Best practice
● Always perform the Safety Check before servicing the printer. See Safety Check on page 129.
● Fuses blown after being replaced may indicate malfunctioning electrical circuits within the system. Have
the system checked by qualified service personnel, and do not attempt to replace the fuse again.
● Ensure you have the appropriate test equipment for the voltage range to be measured and proper
insulated leads before measuring the voltage at any test point.
● Before servicing the printer be sure to turn it off and use the provided mains switch keys to prevent the
printer being turned on inadvertently during servicing.
● Avoid unintentional short-circuits with conductive parts surrounding the test points.
● Ensure the test leads do not slip out of your hands when measuring voltages, and be careful not to touch
uninsulated parts accidentally.
Mechanical hazard
Description
● When the PPS is lowered, it can crush body parts if they are in the way.
● When the carriage moves, it can crush or cut body parts if they are in the way.
● Any moving printer components can potentially crush, cut, or seriously injure you.
Best practice
● Risk of cutting your fingers! Uninstall the In-line slitters when manipulating the curing module or accessing
the substrate path.
● Take care when using the air gun. When used for cleaning purposes, make sure to use it according to local
regulations since additional safety provisions may apply.
● Keep your clothing or body parts safe from moving parts of the printer.
● Avoid wearing loose clothing, jewelry like necklaces or bracelets, or any kind of hanging objects.
● Take care that sleeves and gloves do not get caught in the mechanical parts of the printer.
● Always perform the Safety Check before servicing the printer. See Safety Check on page 129.
● Also make sure that there are no tools obstructing the operation of the printer.
● Avoid standing close to the fans, which could cause injury and could also affect print quality (by obstructing
the air flow).
● Handle the in-line slitters with care and store them safely in their box when not being used with the printer.
WARNING! Take care when opening the loading table and NEVER leave it unattended with both latches open as
it may open inadvertently and cause serious injuries. Always check the table has both latches properly closed.
Best practice
● Always perform the Safety Check before servicing the printer. See Safety Check on page 129.
● Wear protective gloves if you must touch the scan-axis encoder strip.

completely cooled down before you begin.
● If you must be exposed to internal printer sharp edges, be sure to wear protective gloves.
● After installing the accessory, make sure that all disassembled safety means are correctly reassembled to
guarantee safe printer use and accessory after installation.
● Check safety warning labels always remain in their intended location after accessory installation, if they are
not, replace them with a new one in the original intended position.
Safety Check
Description
The Safety Check must be performed before and after every service operation of the printer. From purging the
printer to replacing a single component, this Safety Check must always be performed.
Procedure
NOTE: The protective earth conductor is marked with a symbol.
1. If you intend to remove any components of the drying and curing system or the vapor removal, turn off the
main power switch and disconnect the printer from the Power Distribution Unit (PDU).
2. Check that the protective bonding conductor (green-and-yellow grounding cable) is well attached to the e-
cabinet doors.
3. Check that the protective earth conductor for single phase and three-phase (green-and-yellow grounding
cable) is well attached to the back panel of the e-cabinet.
4. Check that the protective bonding conductor (green-and-yellow grounding cable) is well attached to the
back panel of the e-cabinet.
5. Check that the protective bonding conductor (green-and-yellow grounding cable) is well attached to the
single-phase input.
6. Check that the protective bonding conductor (green-and-yellow grounding cable) is well attached to printer
structure.
7. Check that the protective bonding conductor (green-and-yellow grounding cable) is well attached to the
drying system.
8. Check that the protective bonding conductor (green-and-yellow grounding cable) is well attached to the
curing system.
9. Check that the protective bonding conductor (green-and-yellow grounding cable in the power cord) is well
attached to the vacuum and vapour removal pumps.
10. Check that the protective bonding conductor (green-and-yellow grounding cable in the power cord) is well
attached to the e-box.
13. Check that all RCCBs (GFIs) trip properly, by pressing the Test button.
14. Check that all doors and windows remain closed and in their original position.
15. Check that all safety warning labels remain in their intended positions and add any required labels on new
or removed parts.
16. Check that the in-line slitters locking mechanism is working properly; it must prevent the cutter blade being
reached when in "open" position.
4 Troubleshooting
● Printer calibration
ENWW 131
For HP-authorized personnel only
All the troubleshooting steps and corrective actions are described below. In many cases, a diagnostic test is
needed to determine the failure mode, and these tests are performed with the Print Care software. See How to
run a diagnostic test on page 535.
When the password is generated, access the Switch User menu from File ►Switch User. Insert ‘Engineer’ as User
Name and the generated password in the Password field.
The printer can be started in normal mode or diagnostic mode, from Printer tools ►Power options ►Boot
modes . Normal mode starts the printer normally, but diagnostic mode starts only a minimal part of the printer
engine for diagnostic purposes, so the diagnostics available can be different in each case. See Diagnostics
on page 533.
When the printer is started in diagnostics mode, you should see the window below on the screen of the built-in
computer.
In diagnostic mode you may be able to run tests with parts detached from the printer, or run one subsystem
only and start the components required for this subsystem.
NOTE: To return the carriage to the capping position after working in diagnostic mode, you should restart the
printer in normal mode.
System errors and most of the relevant information are stored on the printer.log file.
The printer.log file corresponds to the current open session on the printer.
log.xx.gz
Each time the printer is rebooted the latest printer.log file is compressed and renamed as log.XX.gz (where xx is a
number from 1 to 50; when 50 is reached the next file will be called log.1.gz) and a new file printer.log is created
for the current open session.
When troubleshooting an error that has occurred, both the current printer.log and the last saved log.xx.gz file are
needed.
TIP: Order the list of log.xx.gz files by Last modified to ensure they are the most recent.
These files track the main status of the printer during each operation (loading substrate, printing, and so on).
Current session operations are stored in the engine.log file and past sessions are compressed and renamed
engine.log.xx.gz.
Occasionally, R&D requests the engine.log and/or engine.log.xx.gz files. The corresponding log.xx.gz should also
be included.
MasterXML file
The MasterXML file also contains a great deal of relevant information about the printer status.
This file can be obtained through the “service information” option on the “information” menu in the IPS.
Log in as an Engineer and run the log through Print Care (PrC) by going to Carriage Rail Cleaning ►Friction
Analysis.
The test also generates a file in the tmp folder, which can provide useful information to R&D: http://
<engine_IP_addr>/hp/device/3432/8828/tmp/scanAxisFrictionAnalysis.log.
Log in as an Engineer and run the log through Print Care (PrC) by going to Scan Axis ►Scan axis analysis.
In case of having issues with the Double-sided Day and Night Kit, the files generated by the 90004 (or 90014)
diagnostic can be used.
Run the Scanning check 90004 (or 90014) diagnostic in the Double-sided Day and Night Menu. The files
ScanDataCalib_0.txt and ScanDataCalib_20.txt containing the results of the test will be generated in the tmp
folder.
In the event of an IT broken bag signal (22.02.0X:06), abnormal intermediate tank refilling, or ink flow error, etc.,
the SupplyX.log files can be used. There are 7 files, one for each fluid (0 = K, 1 = C, 2 = M, 3 = Y, 4 = Lm, 5 = Lc, 6
= OP).
Useful information
When dealing with a system error, first obtain the following information:
● The firmware version that the printer is using (from the Internal Print Server: Utilities ►Statistics ►Code
rev.)
● The name and version of the software application that the customer is using
NOTE: When reporting the system error code, ensure that you supply the full error code and the firmware
version.
● XX.nn.mm:ff
● XX: Subsystem in which the failure has been detected (see the subsystem error codes table below)
● mm: Service part index, if more than one such part is used: for example, it may be used to identify the ink
cartridge (color and number).
● ff: Type of failure: voltage too low, temperature too high, communications error, time-out, and so on.

Curing module X chamber 1 fan no spinning detected. Module disabled, substrate going under this module won't
be cured. But if module is required to print, run subsystem diagnostic. If the problem persists, call support.
Description
The fan is not detected to be spinning. The problem could be the fan itself, the fan power, or the tachometer
signal.
Corrective actions
1. Look at fan and verify it is not spinning. If it is spinning, the problem involves the encoder signal (encoder,
cabling, connections). Check the fan connections and cabling.
2. If the fan rotor is locked, swap two curing heater and fan modules. If the issue remains in the same module
and chamber, recheck the connections and the Curing PCA. If the issue continues with the fan, install a new
one (see Curing heater and fan module (1HA07-67038) on page 750). SVC part: Curing heater and fan
module S (1HA07-67038).
3. Run the Monitor one curing module diagnostic (16003, see Table 5-18 Curing on page 581), set module to
Heaters off and fans 95%, check that fan speed is in the range 8500 to 10000 rpm, and check that fan
current is in the range 2700 to 4000 mA. If any value is out of range, interchange fans in chambers. If the
error follows the fan, then install a new fan. If the error stays in the same chamber, install a new
intermediate cable between the fans and the curing PCA. Remember to configure the fan cable.
4. Install a new curing PCA (see Curing and Vapor removal PCA (CZ056-67384/1HA07-67015) on page 772).

The printer has protected itself to prevent damages related to a short-circuit in the Drying PCA. If this error is
reported with SEVERE severity, the issue involves the Drying PCA.
Corrective actions
This error can report two levels of severity, depending on which different actions are required:
SEVERE: The printer cannot be safely operated and is shut down. Install a new Drying PCA and restart the printer.
ADVISORY: Drying disabled, printer can't be operated. Follow the corrective actions below:
1. Run the Monitor one Drying module diagnostic (17003, see Table 5-20 Drying on page 583), set module to
Heaters off and fans 95%, check that fan speed is in the range 8500 to 10000 rpm, and check that fan
current is in the range 2700 to 4000 mA. If any value is out of range, interchange fans in chambers. If the
error continues with the fan, then install a new fan. If the error stays in the same chamber, install a new
intermediate cable between the fans and the Drying PCA. Remember to configure the fan cable.
2. Check the Drying PCA and install a new one if necessary. See Drying PCA (K4T88-67070) on page 784. SVC

Drying module X temperature chamber 2 out of range. Drying disabled, printer can't be operated. Run
subsystem diagnostic. If problem persists, call support.
Description
During printing, the printer has detected that the temperature of the right chamber of the module X is outside
the acceptable desired range.
Corrective actions
3. Check that the rear part of the printer is not blocked and thus preventing the cold air to enter the drying.
4. Ensure that the temperature sensor is not touching any metal part.
5. Check the Drying PCA by running the Monitor one Drying module diagnostic (17003, see Table 5-20 Drying
on page 583). Set the module to Heater off and fans 95% and wait 10 minutes for the module to cool
down. Check that the chamber 2 temperature is near ambient temperature and similar to the chamber 1
temperature (if chamber 1 is not reporting an error). Otherwise, check the temperature sensor and cable.
Set the module to Heater on and fans 40%. The temperature in chamber 2 should increase slowly (and at
the same rate as the temperature in chamber 1). If the temperature increases quickly, check the resistor,
the temperature sensor, and the cable.
NOTE: The Drying fan heater resistor has a nominal resistivity value of 32.4 Ω and a minimum acceptable
resistivity value of 30.8 Ω.
6. Interchange the temperature sensors. If the error changes to the other chamber, install a new sensor (see
Curing temperature sensor kit (CZ056-67055) on page 753, SVC part: Temperature sensor
CZ056-67055). Otherwise, interchange the fan and heater assemblies (see Drying heater and fan
(K4T88-67107) on page 790. SVC part: Drying heater and fan module S K4T88-67107). If the error
changes to the other chamber, install a new heater (see Drying heater and fan (K4T88-67107)
on page 790. SVC part: Drying heater and fan module S K4T88-67107). If the error is not related to the

Refill of Intermediate Tank X not finished. Reboot the printer. If problem persists, call your support
representative.
Description
During the refill of the Intermediate Tank X the PIP measures are detected to be not reliable. To avoid printer
damage the refill has stopped (the printer is using the ink left in the ìntermediate tanks). If a job was being
printed the print might continue. If the on-going plot is very long, it is recommended to stop it before the
intermediate tanks are low on ink.

4. Intermediate tank Y
5. Intermediate tank Lc
6. Intermediate tank Lm
If a very long plot is being printed after this system error appears, the printer might stop printing after a while
showing an "Ink system needs attention" message. This means that the intermediate tanks are below a
minimum level of ink to safely operate. If the printer is powered off during some time (a few hours) the
intermediate tanks can recover the minimum level of ink and the printer will automatically recover itself.
a. There is air in the ink tubes zone between the ink cartridges and the intermediate tanks.
Corrective actions
1. Restart the printer and try to print again. If the error reappears the issue is confirmed (if it does not
reappear, the first time it appeared the cause could be a small bubble of air in the ink tubes, which can be
safely absorbed by the intermediate tanks at the next refill).
2. Check there is no air in the ink tubes in the zone between the ink cartridges and the intermediate tanks. If
there is air, take it out and retry.
3. If no air has been detected and the printer repeatedly reports the system error, install a new Ink Pump (SVC
Part: K4T88-67026).
Severity
ADVISORY

Description
The air system is unable to pressurize to the expected working pressure, which, depending on the actual
working cycle, could be 4.5–5.0 psi (normal working pressure).
Corrective actions
1. Review all air tube connections and ensure that there is no disconnection.
2. Run the Air pressure system diagnostic (22002), testing air pressure system; the system is pressurized.
See Table 5-12 Ink delivery system on page 571. You can disconnect the tube from the air pressure sensor
to ensure that pressure is reaching the air pressure sensor. Check that the activated pumps are working
listening to each of them.
3. If the pumps do not work, check pump connections and verify pin integrity.
4. Swap the two Air Pumps to check if the issue follows the pump or stays in the same pump. If the failure
follows the pump, install a new Air Pump (SVC Part: K4T88-67025). If it stays in the same pump, install a
new cable between the IDS Air PCA and the Air Pumps (SVC Part: K4T88-50021).
5. Run the Air pressure system diagnostic (22002), testing APS. The system is pressurized. See Table 5-12 Ink
delivery system on page 571. Check for any failed tube. Leave the pumps on test with the diagnostic
procedure, the pump will operate until 4.5-5 psi is reached.

substrate going to the core, and mark the spindle too, before starting to load the substrate. If the line drawn
looks ‘broken’ after the system error, there has been slippage between substrate and core, or core and spindle.

1. Ensure that substrate loading table latches are closed on both sides.
2. Check the connections of the two sensors, mainly the connections on the sensors and on the motor drive
PCA (in the middle of the printer).
3. Run the Substrate path sensors diagnostic (41001), mainly to check the loading table latches: when
opening or closing the loading table, the sensor status should change between open and closed. See Table
5-5 Substrate path mechanics on page 551.
If the test fails, check whether the clamp set screw is touching the switch.

Problem moving main roller. Check that there is no jam, reload substrate and run substrate path mechanics
diagnostics if problem persists.
a. At the end of the roll, one end of the substrate is taped or glued to the input core.
b. Substrate jam
Corrective actions
Follow the next steps and, after each step, run diagnostics 41001, 41002 and 41003 to verify if the issue is
fixed.
If the issue is resolved (verified by running the previous diagnostics) after the manipulation/change of any
mechanical part (steps 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9) you should also calibrate the media advance: first reboot the printer and
load substrate, then run diagnostics 41006 and 41007.
NOTE: Before loading substrate and calibrating it is important to reboot the printer. If the printer is not
rebooted, the calibration values will not be correct.
1. If the roll has come to an end, there is no need to do anything, this is normal printer behavior. The printer
cannot turn the drive roller because the end of the roll is taped or glued to the input core. Reload the
substrate to clear the error.
2. Check that 42V power is correctly reaching the media advance motor:
● Check that there is power output (42V) in the output of the E-cabinet PCA. The fuses LEDs on the
external side of the E-cabinet should be off for all connected outputs. If any LED is on and red, install
a new fuse on the corresponding output. See Board name: E-cabinet PCA on page 371.
● Check that the power cable is connected between the MA output of the E-cabinet PCA and the MA
motor, and reconnect it if needed. You can also use a tester to verify the pin to pin continuity of the
cables to ensure they are not damaged. If they are damaged replace the cables. See MA motor power
cable (K4T88-67240) on page 1187.
3. Check that the data cable and the encoder cable are correctly connected to the Media advance motor:
● Check that the data cable is correctly connected between the J_301 output of the E-box Interconnect
PCA and the MA motor. You can also use a tester to verify the pin to pin continuity of the cables to
ensure they are not damaged. If they are damaged replace the cables. See MA motor data cable
(K4T88-67239) on page 1187.
● Check that the encoder cable is correctly connected between the J1 output of the Vacuum control PCA
and the MA motor. You can also use a tester to verify the pin to pin continuity of the cables to ensure
they are not damaged. If they are damaged replace the cables. See MA motor encoder cable
(CZ056-67094) on page 1187.
4. Check that the Vacuum control PCA and the OMAS control PCA are correctly working:
● Vacuum control PCA should be correctly powered and communicating. DS1, DS2 and DS3 LEDs
should be ON. If they are not, review the connections and replace the Vacuum control PCA if needed.
See Board name: Vacuum control PCA on page 432.
● OMAS control PCA should be correctly powered and communicating. DS1, DS2, DS3 and DS4 LEDs
should be ON. If they are not, review the connections and replace the Vacuum control PCA if needed.
See Board name: OMAS control PCA on page 433.
NOTE: The following steps should be executed with the printer powered off. Remember to reboot the
printer and run diagnostics 41001, 41002 and 41003 after each step to verify if the issue is fixed. In case
all diagnostics pass, you should also calibrate the media advance: first reboot the printer and load
substrate, then run diagnostics 41006 and 41007.
NOTE: Remember, before loading substrate and calibrating it is important to reboot the printer. If the
printer is not rebooted, the calibration values will not be correct.
5. Check if there is some grease between the worm gear and the drive roller gear. Grease it if necessary.
6. Check if there is any degradation on the drive roller gear. If there is, replace it. See Substrate drive roller
transmission assembly (CZ056-67228) on page 1187.
7. Check if there is clearance between the media drive mounting structure and the printer’s side plate. In case
there is not, tight correctly the motor mounting to the structure.
8. Dismount the MA motor and motor mount, and check that the drive roller can move freely. Remount the
motor mount and motor, and check that, when turning the decoupling/axis of the motor, the drive roll
rotates easily.
9. Check if there is any damage on the encoder disc. If it is dirty with grease or others, clean it. If it is not
correctly installed, reinstall it properly. If it is damaged, replace the encoder disc. See Drive roller encoder
disc and PCA (CZ056-67374) on page 1185.

Primer X (1 = OPT, 2 = CK, 3 = YM, 4 = Lm/Lc) leakage detected. Reset primer latch and/or check o-rings. Run
subsystem diagnostic. If problem persists, call your support representative.
Description
The primer pumps air into the printhead regulator to create excessive pressure inside and force ink to flow
through clogged nozzles. Proper priming occurs when the system is properly sealed, then the priming pump can
create the proper pressure wave.
After priming, the current consumption signal of the primer is analyzed to determine if the priming was
successful. This system error appears after priming, when the primer current consumption has been close to
open/free prime (which means air leakage). Under these conditions it is highly probable that priming has been
unsuccessful.
a. The printhead latch is badly closed, so the system is not properly sealed.
b. The plastic tabs in the primer latch (marked 1 in the picture) are damaged, so the system is not properly
sealed.
c. The o-rings in the primer latch (marked 2 in the picture) are damaged, so the system is not properly sealed.
d. The air tubes are disconnected or broken, so the system is not properly sealed.

PPS Servo X (1 = SVS side, 2 = IDS side) shutdown. Check that the scan beam is not blocked. PPS not usable,
printer cannot be operated. Run subsystem diagnostic. If problem persists, call your support representative.
Description
An error in the closed-loop control (servo control) of the PPS system has occurred meaning that the PPS system
is not moving as expected in closed-loop control. The servo-controlled movements consist of applying a specific
PWM to a motor (a certain amount of energy) and receiving the encoder feedback about the actual movement of
the motor after applying that specific PWM.
If after applying a specific PWM the encoder does not register the expected number of encoder counts
(movement), the system produces this error. The error also appears if the PWM values are out of a certain range
of values for the movement (i.e. too high PWM to obtain a movement).
a. PWM is too high due to a mechanical failure. Mechanical system jammed, mechanical system broken, loose
or not well greased.
b. Encoder signals indicating the movement not registered: Encoder sensor disconnected, encoder sensor
broken or failed, encoder strip dirty, broken or deflected, encoder sensor cabling failure.
f. PPS system fuse failure. Contact between mechanical system fuse and the motor module.
Corrective actions
1. Check whether any object is trapped between the scan axis and PPS support. Also check all motor and
encoder connections and the encoder strips.
2. Try to move the carriage beam to SUBSTRATE LOADING position (from the Internal Print Server).
4. Verify that the encoder strip is in good shape, clean and well placed, so that the encoder sensor can detect
the counts.
5. Check that power (24V line) is supplied to the motor drive PCA (LED on the eCabinet PCA for the PPS
output, see Board name: E-cabinet PCA on page 371).
6. Check that power (data line) is supplied to the motor drive PCA (LED on the e-box interconnect PCA, see
Board name: E-box interconnect PCA on page 395).
8. Run the diagnostic 48002 Scan-beam motor and encoder check. Follow the instructions on the test to
better diagnose the issue. Possible corrective actions proposed by the diagnostic could be: changing the
PPS motor (SVC part: K4T88-67060), the encoder (SVC part: K4T88-67062 ), the PPS safety PCA (SVC part:
K4T88-67063) or the motor drive PCA (SVC part: CZ056-67190).

PPS encoder X (X=1 SVS Side, X=2 IDS Side) engage timeout. Run subsystem diagnostic. If problem persists, call
your support representative.
Description
When the PPS motors are in a lower position than the PRINTING position they are not engaged to the scan beam.
If the motors are in the lower position (for example, due to a replacement – the motors as a service part come in
this position), the system has to make an engage movement between the lower position of the motor and the
PRINTING position.
If the motor cannot complete engagement within a certain time limit, the printer stops the movement to prevent
damage and the system error appears.
b. Encoder signals indicating the movement not registered: Encoder sensor disconnected, encoder sensor
broken or failed, encoder strip dirty, broken, or deflected, encoder sensor cable failure.
Corrective actions
1. Restart the printer and try to start again the process for loading media.
2. Check all motor and encoder connections and the encoder strips.
4. Run the diagnostic 48004 Scan-beam motor open-loop movement following these steps:
b. Move up both motors until the lifter engages again with the top structure and you are able to see the
encoder counts increasing.
5. If, when using diagnostic 48004, the motor is not able to move up and down, the problem will be in the
motor chain (motor, motor cabling, motor drive PCA). If the motor is able to move up and down but after
engaging the encoder counts do not increase, the problem is in the encoder chain (encoder sensor, encoder
strip, encoder cabling, motor drive PCA).
6. Change the failing part: PPS motor (SVC part: K4T88-67060), the encoder (SVC part: K4T88-67062 ) or
motor drive PCA (SVC part: CZ056-67190).

Description
The PPS reaches PRINTING position when a flag is detected by the encoder and the system detects higher PWM
consumption at the same time. This system error appears if the printer detects the rise of PWM, but does not
detect the flag.
a. PWM is too high due to a mechanical failure. Mechanical system jammed, mechanical system broken, loose
or not well greased.
b. Flag sensor signal not registered: Flag sensor disconnected, flag sensor broken or failed, mechanical flag
deformed or broken, flag sensor cable failure.
c. Encoder signals indicating the movement not registered: Encoder sensor disconnected, encoder sensor
broken or failed, encoder strip dirty, broken or deflected, encoder sensor cable failure.
g. PPS system fuse failure. Contact between mechanical system fuse and motor module.
Corrective actions
1. Check whether any object is trapped between the scan axis and PPS support. Also check all motor and
encoder connections and the encoder strips.
2. Try to move the carriage beam to SUBSTRATE LOADING position (from the Internal Print Server).
4. Verify that the mechanical flag is inside the path of the flag sensor, so that it can be correctly detected.
5. Verify that the encoder strip is in good shape, clean and well placed so that the encoder sensor can detect
the counts.
6. Check that power (24V line) is supplied to the motor drive PCA (LED on the eCabinet PCA for the PPS
output, see Board name: E-cabinet PCA on page 371).
7. Check that power (data line) is supplied to the motor drive PCA (LED on the e-box interconnect PCA, see

PPS misalignment during movement. Check that nothing is preventing normal movement of the scan beam and
move it to SUBSTRATE LOADING position (from the Internal Print Server) to recover subsystem. If problem
persists, call your support representative.
Description
The relative movement of one of the PPS modules with respect to the other is incorrect, which means danger of
complete system misalignment. This system error protects the system to prevent any possible damage.
When misalignment is detected the printer tries to automatically align the scan beam and this system error (with
SILENT severity) will be logged in the printer .log file but not shown in the IPS. If, during the retry movement,
misalignment is detected again, another SILENT error will be logged. Finally, if the retry movement fails and the
printer is not able to align the scan beam automatically, the system error will be raised in the IPS with ADVISORY
severity. In this case the movement will stop until a user action is taken.
a. An obstruction has damaged the power transmission and broken the mechanical power chain.
c. Encoder signals indicating movement not registered: Encoder sensor disconnected, encoder sensor broken
or failed, encoder strip dirty, broken or deflected, encoder sensor cabling failure.
Corrective actions
1. Check whether any object is trapped between the scan axis and PPS support. Also check all motor and
encoder connections and the encoder strips.
2. Try to move the carriage beam to SUBSTRATE LOADING position (from the Internal Print Server).
4. Run the diagnostic 48002 Scan-beam motor and encoder check (from PrintCare). If the PWM for one of the
motors during the movements is outside the acceptable range or there is a big difference between the 2
motors; verify that the system is well greased and check the motor, encoder connections, and the encoder
strip.
5. If the previous steps did not help to recover the system and the scan beam is still misaligned, run
diagnostic 48004 Scan-beam motor open-loop movement: Individually move the motors in order to align
the scan-beam. Once it is aligned try to move the carriage beam to SUBSTRATE LOADING position (from the
Internal Print Server).

The carriage has two fan arrays with 2 fans to each array. The fans have a fault signal which is activated when
the fan is powered but not rotating. Fans or arrays not connected will not display this error.
Corrective actions
1. Check whether the fans are rotating when they are activated, then run diagnostic 49001 Aerosol Extraction
Status to verify it. In this diagnostic you can set each fan array to a certain PWM and also see the fault

Corrective actions
1. Check that all Drop detector sensors are correctly connected to their Drop Mux PCA.
2. Check the e-box interconnect PCA cable connections at both ends (Drop MUX PCAs and Ebox Interconnect
PCA). Make sure that the cable is well connected and check cable integrity.
3. Ensure that 12 V and 5 V power is reaching the board (Power LEDs on). Check the LEDs on the drop MUX
PCAs (on the drop-detector shuttle). If the LEDs are off, power is not reaching the PCAs. See Board name:

Drop-detector sensor X issue detected, sensor disabled. Run subsystem diagnostic. Call support if diagnostic
fails, or print quality is affected.
Description
The drop detectors’ basic operation consists of receiving power to feed an LED transmitter and a receiver
situated at both sides of the drop-detector window. In standby with no drops or interference in the drop detector
window, the transmitter is permanently powered and the receiver receives a signal of medium range (total range
from 0 to 255, medium range signal around 127). The system error is displayed when the drop detector is 0 in
standby (12 V supplied to the drop detectors, but there is no drop detection activity).
Corrective actions
1. Check that the power LEDs on the drop MUX PCA corresponding to the faulty sensor are on. If they are off:
a. Make sure that the drop detector is correctly connected to the e-box interconnect PCA. Run the Check
DD electronics diagnostic (52001) to check whether the drop detector is disconnected or faulty. See
Table 5-15 Drop detector on page 578.
b. Swap the problematical drop-detector connection with another drop detector to check whether the
problem is with the drop detector. If the problem moves to the swapped sensor, the problem must be
the cable. If the problem stays with the same sensor, it must be the PCA. Install the appropriate new
part. See Cables on page 1469 and Drop-detector Mux PCA (CZ056-67388) on page 1171.
2. Check the internal connections in the e-box. Each drop detector is connected to a different engine adaptor
PCA through the e-box interconnect PCA. Check that the faulty sensor is properly connected to the
appropriate engine adaptor PCA. Restart the printer.
3. Swap two engine adaptor PCAs and restart the printer. If the problem moves to the swapped connection,
the problem is in the engine adaptor PCA: install a new one. See Engine adaptor PCA (CZ056-67188)
on page 802. If the problem remains in the same place the problem is in the e-box interconnect PCA:
install a new one. See E-box interconnect PCA (CZ056-67189) on page 801.

Drop-detector encoder synchronization issue. Please run subsystem diagnostics. If problem persists, call your
support representative.
Description
When performing drop detection, the printer performs synchronization with the linear encoder and the tail
encoder located in the drop detector station motor in order to establish its position with respect to the drop-
detector windows before performing the actual drop-detection action. This error indicates that this
synchronization cannot be achieved as the readings from the two encoders do not match according to the
movements performed.
a. Drop-detector linear-encoder sensor dirty, disconnected, or failed; or encoder strip dirty or damaged
b. The drop detection tray cannot move smoothly due to excessive friction or a mechanical problem
c. Failure in the drop detector station motor, motor drive PCA, DD MUX PCAs, or connecting cables
Corrective actions
1. Check the linear encoder strip in the drop detector station. Make sure that the encoder strip is clean and not
visibly damaged. Check that it is correctly installed in the sensor, and correctly placed in its holders at each
end. If it is damaged, install a new encoder strip. See ODD encoder strip (K4T88-67219) on page 1172.
2. Run the drop-detector calibration diagnostic (52003) to check the linear encoder sensor connection. See
Table 5-15 Drop detector on page 578.
● If the reported values are zero, the encoder cannot be read: install a new sensor. See Line sensor
(K4T88-67004) on page 695.
● If the values are correct, the problem is in the drop-detector daisy-chain cable (K4T88-50151); install
a new cable. See Cables on page 1469.

the encoder received at the PCA X is different from the readings received at the rest of the PCAs. This could
cause problems in the movement and in the drop detection operation.
a. Cable from DD encoder to Drop MUX PCA X (P1 connector) damaged or disconnected.
Corrective actions
1. Run diagnostic 52002 Check drop detector mechanics to verify if the reading is the same for all the DD MUX
PCAs. If it is the same, the system error might be a transitory failure. If some of the readings are different
from each other, continue with the troubleshooting.
2. Check that the cable going from the Drop MUX PCA X P1 connector to the encoder is correctly connected

Scan-axis length test failure. Check scan-axis path, clean encoder, run diagnostic.
Description
The scan-axis length is not as expected while performing the Scan-axis analysis diagnostic (86002). The scan-
axis length measured by the printhead carriage does not correspond to the expected length.
Corrective actions
1. Repeat the test and check that the carriage reaches both ends of the scan axis. If not, check for possible
obstructions in the carriage path (with the printer turned off). If there are no obstructions, the problem
could be high friction or damage to the encoder.
2. Run the Friction analysis diagnostic (86003). See Table 5-26 Carriage rail cleanliness on page 594.
If the test finds high friction, clean the carriage rails, then run the Scan-axis analysis diagnostic (86002)
again. See Table 5-10 Scan axis on page 564.
3. Install a new encoder strip. See Impelling encoder strip (K4T88-67044) on page 916.

Carriage movement failure. Make sure maintenance routines are up to date and then select Reinitialize carriage
from the Tools menu. Perform the carriage-rail cleaning process; if the problem persists, call your support
representative.
Description
The carriage has stopped unexpectedly while moving or has been unable to start moving. Usually this is due to a
jam with an external element, such as substrate in the print zone, or a substrate edge holder. It can also be
produced by high friction between the slider rods and the carriage bearings. Clean the carriage rails to ensure
that scan-axis maintenance is up to date. Check whether the carriage always shows the error at the same point
on the scan axis, which would indicate that the problem is with the encoder strip. If the carriage does not even
start moving, check the status of the motor and the electrical connection.
a. Sporadic problem
e. PWM signal not supplied to motor: PWM generator (driver) failure, motor failure, cable failure, or
disconnected
Corrective actions
2. Run the Friction analysis diagnostic (86003). See Table 5-26 Carriage rail cleanliness on page 594.
3. Run the Scan-axis analysis diagnostic (86002). See Table 5-10 Scan axis on page 564.
6. Check the connection of the scan-axis motor power cable and encoder cables.
7. Check that power is supplied to the motor (LED in the e-cabinet PCA, see Board name: E-cabinet PCA

8. Swap E-box Engine PCA #1 with Engine PCA #2 (Replace Engine PCA #1 if it is necessary).
Severity
ADVISORY
86.01.00:02
Description
During start-up, the printer makes a small movement forwards and backwards to check the main system
functionality (motor moves, encoder signals are received). This error is produced when this test fails.
The scan-axis direction test has failed because the movement sent by the scan-axis motor does not correspond
with the one detected by the carriage encoder sensor. Thus, the problem can come from the motor, which does
not produced the expected movement, or the encoder sensor that is not reading properly.
As the movement is very small, this error usually represents a critical error such as cables disconnected, motor
failure, or a PCA fault.
c. PWM signal not supplied to motor: PWM generator (driver) failure, motor failure, cable failure, or
disconnected
Corrective actions
1. Run the Scan-axis analysis diagnostic (86002). See Table 5-10 Scan axis on page 564.
2. Check for possible obstructions in the carriage path (with the printer turned off). Manually uncap the
service station and move the carriage along the scan axis to search for possible high friction points. Look
for objects or possible problems in the carriage path, the rods, bushings, and platen area.
3. Check for possible damage to the scan-axis encoder strip and install a new one if necessary. See Impelling
encoder strip (K4T88-67044) on page 916.

Printer is not able to detect light from printzone backlight X (X = 1 SVS Side, X = 2 ISS Side) when trying to adjust
it. Check if the LED Bar is working properly and that there is nothing covering it. If the problem persists, call your
support representative.
Description
Before starting side A printing, printer tries to adjust light to verify the registration will be possible in the inserted
media. The light intensity of the printzone backlights is then adjusted until the Line sensor (Double-sided Day
and Night Kit) is saturated. This light intensity is stored in the NVM and will be used for the side B printing.
If no light is detected over the media during the adjustment, the line sensor will scan in a zone without media. If
no light is detected in that second zone, there is probably an issue with the light and this error will be raised.
a. Affected printzone backlight not correctly connected (either in the intermediate connector or in the Motor
drive PCA) or failing.
b. Double-sided Day Night E-cabinet not properly connected to the Motor drive PCA (Double-sided Day Night
Kit).
c. Power cable not properly connected to the Double-sided Day Night E-cabinet.
d. Line sensor (Double-sided Day Night Kit) not correctly connected or failing.
Corrective actions
1. Check if the printzone backlights are correctly working: Run the diagnostic 90002 Lights check and set the
Printzone backlights to different intensity levels (between 0 and 100). If no light is seen in one of the sides,
interchange the intermediate connectors for troubleshooting. Repeat the test, if the issue has not changed
of side, change the affected printzone backlight and remember to reconnect correctly the LED bars
intermediate connector. If the issue has changed of side, install a new cable between the Motor drive PCA
(Double-sided Day Night Kit) and the Printzone backlights intermediate connectors. If no light is seen in
both sides, go to step 2. If light is seen in both sides, go to step 3.
2. Reboot the printer. Check the cable going from the Motor drive PCA (Double-sided Day Night Kit) to the
Printzone backlights Intermediate connectors and change it if needed (SVC Part: P4P91-50003).
3. Run the diagnostic 90004 Scanning check. If the Line sensor is failing, check its connection to the PH
Interconnect 1 (OP) or install a new Line sensor if needed (SVC Part: K0Q45-60085).
4. Check all the Double-sided Day Night E-cabinet connections: it should be correctly plugged to the E-Cabinet
and the cable going to the Motor drive PCA (Double-sided Day Night Kit) should be properly connected.
Check visual indicators (LEDs) in the Motor drive PCA to verify the PCA is correctly powered and working. If
power is not correctly reaching the Motor drive PCA (Double-sided Day Night Kit) recheck all connections
and install a new Double-sided Day Night E-cabinet (SVC Part: P4P91-60014) if needed.
5. If power is correctly reaching the Motor drive PCA (Double-sided Day Night Kit) but the Printzone backlights
are not working, install a new Motor drive PCA (SVC Part: Q6702-60953). If this does not solve the issue,
install new printzone backlights (SVC Part: J8J14-60002).

Description
Before starting side A printing, printer tries to adjust light to verify the registration will be possible in the inserted
media. The light intensity of Printzone backlights is then adjusted until the Line Sensor (Double-sided Day Night)
is saturated. This light intensity is stored in the NVM and will be used for the side B printing.
This system error is raised if the Line sensor (Double-sided Day Night) signal is not reliable:
● With the lights still not powered, the Line sensor is already saturated (detecting too much light).
● The Line sensor signal is too stable. When scanning actual values, they are expected to present a certain
degree of noise. If there is absolutely no noise present, there could exist a problem with the Line sensor.
a. Line Sensor (Double-sided Day Night) connection issue: cable might be not properly connected or
disconnected.
Corrective actions
1. Unload the used media and run diagnostic 90004 Scanning check to diagnose the issue. If this is confirmed,
continue with step 2. If the issue does not appear, the problem might be related to the media used (too
translucent).
2. Check the Line sensor (Double-sided Day Night) connection to the PH Interconnect 1 (OPT).
3. Interchange the Line sensor (Double-sided Day Night) with the Line sensor (front) and retry the operation.

The fiducial row has not been found before starting side B printing. It is possible that the media is incorrectly
loaded (fiducial row too far from the scan axis).
a. Fiducial row not situated under the print-zone back light line
c. Light adjustment issue. This could happen if, after a side A job is printed, a different side B job (for example,
one with a different media with side A already printed) is printed. Since light is adjusted when printing side
A and stored for its corresponding side B, in this case the adjustment might not be suitable for the new job
Corrective actions
1. Use the Move Substrate buttons to position the first fiducial row on the print-zone back light line and try
again.
2. Measure the media edge to fiducial distance and compare it with the value stored in the printer (use
diagnostic 90022 Media edge to fiducial distance configuration). If they differ significantly, the value might
have been changed after side A was printed.
3. Ensure the side B job is being printer after its corresponding side A, and that no other Double-sided Day

Meaning of LEDs
Accessible on the external side, there is a fuse for each power output, associated with each fuse is a red LED.
OFF Fuse OK
NOTE: For a LED to turn red indicating that the fuse is blown, there must be DC power present (the
corresponding DC PSU must be ON); for PSUs 1, 3, 4, and 5 this means that the safety relay must be activated
and the front door and loading table closed.
The safety relay X-1 has 3 LEDs: Power, CH-1, and CH-2.
● POWER:
– +24V present at the safety relay, for this LED to be ON the e-cabinet PCA must supply +24V (firmware
activated) and the emergency stops must be all released.
– The safety relay has two redundant channels in series, each LED indicates the state of the channel,
for the safety relay to activate both channels must be good.
– These LEDs should be always be in the same state (lit when the safety relay is activated and unlit
otherwise). If one is lit and the other unlit, the safety relay is faulty and should be replaced.
Even though the visibility of the LED on some of the PSUs is not very good, it’s easy to tell whether it’s lit or not.
There are seven DC PSUs in the e-cabinet from two different model families, here is the location of the feedback
LED for each family:
● PSU-1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7
● PSU-3
External lights
On the e-cabinet side where the user interface is, there is one light and one illuminated pushbutton:
Printer-enabled light
This light gives direct feedback on the state of the safety relay:
Rearm button
● The light is controlled by the firmware through the e-cabinet PCA to indicate to the user when the machine
requires this activation.
AC protections
The AC protections are standard circuit breakers like the ones used in the electrical installation of any building.
● ACBs (automatic circuit breakers) protect against overcurrents, produced for example when a heater fails
and its actual electrical resistance is much lower than the nominal value.
● RCDs (residual current devices) protect against ground leakages, produced for example when a heater fails
and its wiring breaks and ends up in electrical contact with the machine structure.
The circuit breakers are off when their lever is down, and on when their lever is up. They are easily checked and
actuated from the e-cabinet exterior.
This section describes some particular points where measurements can be made with a multimeter to
understand the state of the e-cabinet better.
WARNING! In most cases, these measures require operating the e-cabinet with its doors open. Take all
necessary precautions to prevent electrical shocks. Always check that the grounding cable is correctly installed
before powering up.
Verify the power configuration measuring the voltage between adjacent terminal blocks in TB1, all measured
voltages must be inside the 200–240 V ±10% as per the chosen configuration.
400V 230V
415V 240V
208V 208V
220V 220V
240V 240V
A lower-than-expected reading may indicate a loose screw on the electrical installation. Switch off the mains
through the branch circuit breaker in the building PDU and check that all the input power cables and the
configuration cross connectors are tightly screwed.
The AC output voltage from the power transformer TF-1 should always be 230 V ±10%.
This can be measured with an AC voltage meter between TB6-2 and TB6-4:
To verify that the e-cabinet PCA is supplying 24V to the safety circuit, measure the DC voltage between TB8-5 (-)
and TB8-2 (+).
To verify that the emergency stops are all released, measure the DC voltage between TB8-5 (-) and TB8-1(+).
Make sure to check that there is DC power on the safety circuit (see last paragraph).
Alternatively, with the printer powered off, measure the impedance between TB8-1 and TB8-2:
● When all emergency stop are released the impedance has to be low (~0Ω)
● When one or more emergency stops are pressed the impedance has to be high
The DC power supply of the safety relay can be measured between terminals A1 and A2 of X1. Make sure that
there is DC power to the safety circuit and that the emergency stops are all released.
Rearm button
To determine if the rearm button and its cabling are in order, measure the impedance (ohms) between X1-Y1
and X1-Y2 with the button pressed and the button released. This has to be done with the safety relay
unpowered (press an emergency stop to make sure that the relay has no power).
● With the rearm button released, the measured impedance must be high (>1MΩ)
● With the rearm button pressed, the measured impedance must be low (~0Ω)
Contactor control
To test that the contactors are receiving the control voltage, measure the DC voltage between terminals A1 and
A2:
● When the contactor has to be closed (activated) the voltage has to be +24VDC
● When the contactor has to be open (not activated) the voltage has to be 0VDC
Interlock chain
To verify that the interlocks are all closed measure the DC voltage between TB8-5(-) and TB8-4(+). Make sure to
check that there is DC power on the safety circuit and the safety relay is activated.
Alternatively, with the printer powered off, measure the impedance between TB8-3 and TB8-4:
● When all interlocks are closed the impedance has to be low (~0Ω).
● When one or more interlocks are open the impedance has to be high.

Meaning of LEDs
Voltage LEDs
Light is proportional to voltage. For example, if the internal 24V drops to 14V, then the LED will still be on, but a
little bit dim.
Overcurrent LEDs
Four LEDs, one for each DC output voltage, lit in case of overcurrent.
12V to 5V3
Meaning of LEDs
Each particular connector has a set of LEDs. The LED state (on/off) is directly related to the presence of voltage
at the pins of the connectors, because they are simply connected to the connector (through an isolation resistor).
Colors meaning:
● Green: good news; presence of power supply voltages (or “OK” signals)
● Yellow: neutral news; for data, clock, interrupt, encoder phase signals
● Red: bad news; for failure signals (currently only from Delta Sinewave converters)

IDS Air PCA is OK
D (DS12) Operative system status Red (flashing) When flashing, the programmed

E (DS11) Communication status Orange (flashing) When flashing, the IDS Air PCA is
properly connected to the printer
and communication is working
F (DS13) Extra indicator for unexpected Blue When flashing, it is used to show
situations some operation is being
executed. If it stays on, there is
probably a short-circuit event
G (DS8, DS9, DS10) IDS Air PCA Identifier Blue Identifier for the IDS Air PCA
The 24V main power supply is provided through the J2 connector. When the connected and the PCA receives the
correct power, the LED A (DS1) glows. It provides feedback about whether the system is well powered or not.
Both green indicators (LED B and C) show whether main internal generated voltages are working or not. LED C
(DS5) refers to digital power supply 3V3 and LED B (DS6) (shown in the lower part) refers to 24V. The 24V power
supply rail is used to provide power to the air pumps and relief valve.
Used the same way as in other boards which use microcontrollers connected to the main system.
LED D (DS12), when flashing, indicates the programmed system firmware is working properly. It is a good
indicator of whether the microcontroller is programmed or not and is working as expected. Flashing has a
cadence of around 500 msec.
LED E (DS11) is related to the connection between the printer and the PCA. If the PCA is connected correctly to
the main system (printer) and it has a connection, it will be flashing in the same way as the red indicator (not at
the same time). The system is configured by default to restart the microcontroller in case of a disconnection
longer than 1 second.
LED F (DS13) is a general purpose indicator used to show some exceptions which could happen like pending
operations. If a short circuit event occurs, the blue LED will always appear ON.
NOTE: While the system updates firmware from the printer or standalone, all system LEDs appear OFF. The
program process takes a few seconds to be released.
LEDs G (DS8, DS9, DS10) show the IDS air PCA address. Since there is only one IDS air PCA in the printer, the
identifier should never change, and the three LEDs should always be OFF.

H (DS8 to DS15) Ink supply presence indicators Red When ON, it means that the
affected ink supply is NOT
detected to be present (but the
system is well connected). When
OFF, it means that the ink supply
is correctly connected
The 24V main power supply is provided through the J10 connector. When this connector is connected and the
PCA receives the correct power (system spec 24V+/- 3V), LED A (DS5) glows. It provides feedback about whether
the system is well powered or not.
Both green indicators (LED B and C) show whether main internal generated voltages are working or not. LED C
(DS7) refers to digital power supply 3V3 and LED B (DS6) (shown in the lower part) refers to 12V. The 12V power
supply rail is used to provide power to ink pumps and to generate the analog 3V3 voltage used as the power
supply in all sensors.
Used the same way as in other boards which use microcontrollers connected to the main system.
LED D (DS2), when flashing, indicates the programmed system firmware is working properly. It is a good
indicator of whether the microcontroller is programmed or not and is working as expected. Flashing has a
cadence of around 500 msec.
LED E (DS3) is related to the connection between the printer and the PCA. If the PCA is connected correctly to the
main system (printer) and it has a connection, it will be flashing in the same way as the red indicator (not at the
same time). The system is configured by default to restart the microcontroller in case of a disconnection longer
than 1 second.
LED F (DS1) is a general purpose indicator used to show some exceptions which could happen like pending
operations. If a short circuit event occurs, the blue LED will always appear ON.
NOTE: While the system updates firmware from the printer or standalone, all system LEDs appear OFF. The
program process takes a few seconds to be released.
Power output
LEDs G (DS4) provides information about if the J11 output connector provides power supply or not. This output is
used to power IDS Air PCA. If nothing is connected to J11, LED G (DS4) could glow without output powered.
Ink supply presence indicators give feedback about whether ink cartridges are connected and present or not.
When the indicator is ON this indicates that the system is well connected and the ink supply is not present.
NOTE: If the system is not well connected (connector J2 in IDS Ink PCA disconnected), the ink supply presence
indicators could be OFF.

1. Check that the 24V, 12V, 5V, and 3V3 LEDs are on.
● If the 24V LED is off, see Troubleshoot 24 V supply errors on page 421.
● If the 24V LED is on and any other 12V, 5V, or 3V3 LED is off, shut down the printer from the Internal
Print Server, wait for shutdown to complete, turn off the main switch, wait 10 seconds, and restart
the printer. If any of the 12V, 5V, or 3V3 LEDs is still off, install a new Curing PCA (see Curing and
Vapor removal PCA (CZ056-67384/1HA07-67015) on page 772).
● It should be blinking; the number of blinks is the address of the module (1 beat for module 1 and 2
beats for module 2). If the blinks do not match the module number, there is an error in the curing fan
cable (CZ056-50281) configuration. Cable included in the Curing PCA cable kit (K4T88-67223). Check
the Figure 2-13 Curing Subsystem on page 87 for its correct configuration.
NOTE: If the curing module address is incorrect, printer errors will not refer to the correct module,
and curing module diagnostics will not run.
NOTE: The uC beat LED is on while a curing PCA firmware upgrade is in progress. This process takes
less than 2 minutes and is done during the printer start-up.
● If it is on and not blinking, there is an error in the module, but communication with it should be
possible. Run the Monitor curing modules diagnostic (16003), depending on the module giving the
error. See Table 5-18 Curing on page 581.
If the connection fails, see Troubleshoot curing PCA communication errors on page 420.
● If it is blinking, there is an error in the module that may prevent communication with the e-box. Count
the number of blinks:
– 2 blinks: The curing PCA firmware does not match the hardware version, update the printer
firmware.
– 3 blinks: Invalid address, the curing fan cable has no valid address configuration, follow “Check
curing PCA LED uC beat is blinking” to check the address of the module.
– 4 blinks: Curing PCA voltage error. The curing PCA detects that the DC input voltage is out of
range. See Troubleshoot 24 V supply errors on page 421.
– 5 blinks: Communication reset; intermittent communication errors. See Troubleshoot curing PCA
communication errors on page 420.
– 6 blinks: Module reset, internal module error, update the printer firmware.
If the problem persists, install a new curing PCA. See Curing and Vapor removal PCA
(CZ056-67384/1HA07-67015) on page 772.
● CAN TERM: jumper in curing PCA 6, but not in the other curing PCAs.
The curing modules’ control line is a daisy-chain (serial) connection between the different PCAs. To communicate
with an PCA in the chain, the communication with the previous ones must work. The boards connected from the
e-box to the last curing PCA are as follows (also see Figure 2-13 Curing Subsystem on page 87):
Engine PCA 3 > Engine adaptor PCA 3 > E-box interconnect PCA > Curing PCA 1 > Curing PCA 2 > Curing PCA 3 >
Curing PCA 4 > Curing PCA 5 > Curing PCA 6.
The fact that all elements in the curing modules’ control line are daisy-chained is relevant, as a communication
error with one curing PCA may not prevent communication with another curing PCA. It is important to find out at
which point of the link is the error.
1. Check that the curing modules’ control line is properly connected. That is, ensure that the connection
between the different PCAs is correct (see explanation above).
2. Check curing PCA LEDs. All curing module PCAs should be correctly powered and have the correct address.
3. Check curing PCA jumpers. See Check curing PCA jumpers on page 420.
4. If there is an error inside the e-box (engine PCA 3, engine adaptor PCA 3, e-box interconnect PCA,
interconnecting cables) or in the control cable between the e-box and curing module 1, then all curing
modules are disconnected but only one error is reported, corresponding to the first module failing.
5. If all curing modules have a connection error, restart the printer. If the problem persists, investigate as
follows:
a. Ensure that all cables are properly installed and not damaged, pinched, or twisted.
c. Add a new control cable between the e-box interconnect PCA and curing PCA 1, restart the printer,
and perform step 4 above. If one or more curing modules report connection OK, then the failure is in
the cable, replace it with a new one.
d. Replace the cable between engine adaptor PCA 3 and engine PCA 3 with a new one, restart the
printer, and perform step 4 above. If one or more curing modules report connection OK, then the
failure is in the cable, replace it with a new one.
e. Interchange engine adaptor PCA 3 with any other one, restart the printer, and perform step 4 above.
If one or more curing modules report connection OK, then the failure is in engine adaptor PCA 3,
replace it with a new one.
f. Interchange engine PCA 3 with any other one, restart the printer, and perform step 4 above. If one or
more curing modules report connection OK, then the failure is in engine PCA 3, replace it with a new
one.
g. Interchange curing PCA 1 with a curing PCA from another module, restart the printer, and perform
step 4 above. If one or more curing modules report connection OK, then the failure is in the replaced
curing PCA, replace it with a new one.
6. If not all modules have a connection error, restart the printer. If the problem persists, perform the following
checks for each of the curing modules with a connection error (one module at a time). The first module to
check is the failing one with the lowest address number.
a. Check that the control cable to the module is well connected at both ends, and that it is not damaged,
twisted, or pinched.
b. Disconnect control cable from the module. As a result, all modules with an address number higher
than the current module will have a communication error. Ignore those modules in the tests below.
c. Restart the printer and check communication following step 4 above, from the first module up to the
current module under test.
● If the current module reports connection OK, the error is after the current module. Connect the
control cable leaving the module and repeat step 6 for the next failing module.
● If the current module reports a connection error, add a control cable between the current
module and its immediate predecessor, and repeat step 4 above. If the communication error
disappears, replace the control cable with a new one, connect the control cable leaving the
module, and repeat step 6 for the next failing module.
If the communication error persists, replace the curing PCA from this module with the curing PCA of a
working module, and repeat step 4 above. If the communication error moves with the curing PCA,
replace it with a new one, connect the control cable leaving the module, and repeat step 6 for the
next failing module.
Troubleshooting this type of error can be divided into two areas: the e-cabinet and the curing system. The whole
chain of connections between the e-cabinet and the curing system is as follows:
AC network (input power depending on the country) > two 24 V PSUs > E-cabinet PCA > Power cable > Curing
PCAs 1 to 6.
When a 24V supply out of range error is raised, run the power supplies diagnostics from the E-cabinet menu.
From the results:
● If voltage is ≤ 21.5V and current is ≤ 10A, the problem should be in the e-cabinet.
Check the voltage at the PSU. If necessary, install a new PSU. If the problem persists, install a new e-
cabinet PCA. See E-cabinet PCA (K4T88-67288) on page 880.
● If voltage is ≤ 21.5V and current is ≥ 24A, the problem should be in the curing system.
Check the voltage at the connection points to find which element is failing or causing a short-circuit (thus
the drop in voltage and high current consumption).
You are recommended to disconnect all the PCAs in the curing system (only the ones listed at the
beginning of this section) except one of the curing PCAs. Then check the voltage at the last element
connected until the failing element is found (the voltage will drop again).
To check the voltage, restart the printer in diagnostic mode and run the e-cabinet power supplies and
monitor one curing module diagnostics again.
If necessary, install a new PCA to replace whichever one has failed. See Curing and Vapor removal PCA
(CZ056-67384/1HA07-67015) on page 772.
This section explains how to check errors related to curing chamber resistors (how to measure impedance, and
so on). These errors are as follows:
IMPORTANT: A multimeter is required to measure resistance. These checks cannot be done without one.
3. Check resistance between points A and B of J10 on the heater control PCA.
4. Check resistance between points C and D of J10 on the heater control PCA.
5. Both measurements should be between 32 and 37 Ω (±1 Ω approximately). If both are correct, the check
ends successfully. If one or both are wrong, continue to follow these steps.
6. Disconnect both heaters and measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of each heater.
7. Both measurements should be between 32 and 36 Ω (±1 Ω approximately). If both are correct, the problem
must be in the cable between the heater control PCA and the heater; replace it with a new one. If one or
both measurements are wrong, the heater is faulty, replace it with a new one.

If the LEDs are off, see Troubleshoot 24 V supply errors on page 427.
● It should be blinking; the number of blinks is the address of the module (1 beat for module 1 and 2
beats for module 2). If the blinks do not match the module number, there is an error in the drying fan
cable. See Figure 2-16 Drying Subsystem on page 90.
NOTE: If the drying modules address is incorrect, errors will not refer to the correct module and the
drying module diagnostic will not run.
NOTE: The uC beat LED is on while a drying PCA firmware upgrade is in progress. This process takes
less than 2 minutes and is done during the printer start-up.
● If it is on and not blinking, there is an error in the module, but communication with it should be
possible. Run the Drying PCA functional check, depending on the module giving the error. See Table
5-20 Drying on page 583.
If the connection fails, see Troubleshoot drying PCA communication errors on page 426.
● If it is blinking, there is an error in the module that may prevent communication with the e-box. Count
the number of blinks:
– 2 blinks: The drying PCA firmware does not match the hardware version, update the printer
firmware.

drying PCA LED uC beat is blinking' to check the module address.
– 4 blinks: Drying PCA voltage error. The drying PCA detects that the DC input voltage is out of

3. If there is an error inside the e-box (engine PCA 1, engine adaptor PCA 1, e-box interconnect PCA,
interconnecting cables) or in the power cables between the e-box and drying modules, then drying
modules are disconnected but only one error is reported, corresponding to the first module failing. Run the
Drying PCA functional check. See Table 5-20 Drying on page 583.
4. If all the drying modules have a connection error, restart the printer. If the problem persists, investigate as

of connections between the e-cabinet and the drying system is as follows:
AC network (input power depending on the country) > 24 V PSU > E-cabinet PCA > Power Cable > Drying PCA 1 to

the drop in voltage and high current consumption).
You are recommended to disconnect all the PCAs on the drying system (only the ones listed at the

To check the voltage, restart the printer in diagnostic mode and run the e-cabinet power supplies and
drying PCA functional check diagnostics again.

● If the 24V LED is off, see Troubleshoot 24 V supply errors on page 430.
● If the 24V LED is on and any other 12V, 5V, or 3V3 LED is off, shut down the printer from the Internal
Print Server, wait for shutdown to complete, turn off the main switch, wait 10 seconds, and restart
the printer. If any of the 12V, 5V, or 3V3 LEDs is still off, install a new Vapor removal PCA (see Vapor
removal PCA (K4T88-67069) on page 1304).
● It should be blinking; the number of blinks is the address of the module (1 beat for module 1 and 2
beats for module 2). If the blinks do not match the module number, there is an error in the vapor
removal fan cable (K4T88-50159) configuration.
NOTE: If the vapor removal address is incorrect, printer errors will not refer to the correct module,
and vapor removal diagnostics will not run.
NOTE: The uC beat LED is on while a vapor removal PCA firmware upgrade is in progress. This
process takes less than 2 minutes and is done during the printer start-up.
● If it is on and not blinking, there is an error in the module, but communication with it should be

● If voltage is ≤ 21.5V and current is ≤ 10A, the problem should be in the e-cabinet.
Check the voltage at the PSU. If necessary, install a new PSU. If the problem persists, install a new e-
cabinet PCA. See E-cabinet PCA (K4T88-67288) on page 880.
● If voltage is ≤ 21.5V and current is ≥ 24A, the problem should be in the vapor removal system.
Check the voltage at the connection points to find which element is failing or causing a short-circuit (thus
the drop in voltage and high current consumption), you may have to change the power cable or the vapor
removal PCA.

Connectivity errors
Using the system configuration tool
This chapter explains how to use the HP Latex 3000 System Configuration Tool to fix connectivity issues
between the printer’s internal network and the customer’s network.
The HP Latex 3000 System Configuration Tool is available from the following link: http://www.hp.com/embed/
hpbrain?action=download&id=4609063
● Lower port (PCI board, green): this port should be used to connect the IPS PC to the Customer’s network,
and is for IPS PC communication with the RIP PC and the Internet.
These ports are not interchangeable, so using the wrong port will result in failure to connect.
The Internet Protocol (IP) address conventions used in this document are as follows:
● <IP_IPS-ToPrinter>: the IP address of the upper (on board) IPS PC network connection.
● <IP_IPS-ToNetwork>: the IP address of the lower (PCI board) network connection on the IPS PC, used to
connect to the customer’s network.
IP addresses used
<IP_Printer> <IP_IPS-ToPrinter>
172.22.22.22 172.22.22.23
192.168.88.88 192.168.88.89
10.0.0.10 10.0.0.11
192.168.0.10 192.168.0.11
<IP_IPS-ToNetwork> depends on the customer network setup, and can have a wide range of values.
The <IP_Printer> and <IP_IPS-ToPrinter> addresses shown in the table are the four options that can be used to
connect the printer to the IPS PC. The printer’s factory settings are the addresses 172.22.22.2x.
The HP Latex 3000 system configuration tool helps you to set the correct addresses. The tool detects any
potential conflicts with the customer’s network and sets the <IP_Printer> and <IP_IPS-ToPrinter> addresses to
avoid these conflicts.
For example, if the customer uses IP addresses in the range 172.x.x.x in their network, the tool will enable you to
modify the <IP_Printer> and <IP_IPS-ToPrinter> addresses to the second, third or fourth options to avoid network
conflicts.
When the tool is launched, it will automatically run a connectivity test, retrieving information from:
● Network Interface Controller (NIC) > checks each network card IP configuration.
● eBox > pings the eBox to check that the device responds.
● Shared Folder > not currently used (intended for future releases).
While running the test, the tool will disable the connection to the customer network in order to avoid any
conflicts. When the test is concluded, the network connection will be re-enabled. The test can be refreshed at
any time by pressing the Refresh button (denoted by two arrows), located at the bottom left of the application.
The following pictures show the results of a successful connectivity test, with green indicators next to each
connectivity check:
When the connectivity test is successful (all indicators green), the application can be closed, as this shows that all
of the network connections are working properly.
If the Global Connectivity Test detects an issue, however, a red indicator, a tool button, and a short error
message will be displayed next to each of the tests that have been failed.
In the following example, the tool has discovered connectivity problems in the IPS Configuration, the Proxy
Configuration and the eBox Connectivity. Each of these issues must be addressed individually, in the order in
which they are displayed. In this example, pressing the tool button next to the IPS configuration displays the
following pop-up window:
Clicking ‘Yes’ launches the IPS configuration utility, which will proceed to test for suitable IP pairs, beginning with
172.22.22.2x. The IPS must be closed in order to run the operation, so the following alert message will be
displayed if the IPS is running:
To fix this issue, go to the IPS, close it, and then press OK. Once effective suitable IP pair has been discovered, the
tool will display another prompt, reminding you to restart the IPS:
In this case, the IPS configuration issue has now been solved, so the next step is to fix the Proxy Configuration.
Clicking the tool button next to the Proxy Configuration will launch a process that is similar to that described
above.
Finally, the eBox connectivity needs to be re-established based on the new IPs (in this case, 172.22.22.2x). The
tool will proceed to modify the <IP_IPS-ToPrinter> to the appropriate value (172.22.22.23):
When the test has successfully finished, you will be presented with the option of changing the IPs. To do so, click
on the tool icon at the bottom left of the window. There is a drop down menu with the four IP pairs detailed in
the table above. In this example, the current <IP_Printer> is 10.0.0.10, which will be changed to 172.22.22.22.
After selecting the new IP set, press the button ‘Change IPs and reboot printer’. The change will only come into
effect after the printer has been rebooted.
Note that it is not necessary to change the <IP_Printer> through Print Care, as the tool already manages it.
In both cases click on the tools button. The IPS Configurator window appears:
In the IPS IP, set the computer IP of your preferred LAN and click Set Configuration.

Printer calibration
Align the printheads
Precise alignment between printheads is essential for color accuracy, smooth color transitions, and sharp edges
in graphical elements.
NOTE: You are recommended to align the printheads only when using a single-roll-to-roll configuration. In
particular, printhead alignment with dual rolls is not recommended.
● When a new substrate is loaded and the printhead-to-paper spacing changes significantly.
● When there are print-quality problems that could be caused by printhead misalignment.
To align the printheads, go to the Internal Print Server and select Printer ►Printhead alignment. There are two
alignment types to choose from, automatic and manual.
Printhead alignment can be affected by wrinkles or other substrate deformations in the print zone. Therefore, if
the printer has recently been printing, you should wait for some minutes while it cools down. Just in case, the
printer advances the substrate before aligning the printheads.
The printer prints three blocks of patterns and scans them with the built-in line sensor. This method is intended
for any smooth, high-quality substrates (including vinyl and banner substrates).
Automatic alignment takes about 15 minutes. It is an unattended process, and uses printed substrate with
dimensions 35 cm (13.8 in) wide by 54 cm (21.3 in) high. To launch, go to the Internal Print Server and select
Printer ►Printhead alignment ►Automatic ►Align.
IMPORTANT: Automatic alignment does not align the optimizer. If trying to align the optimizer or install a new
printhead optimizer, manual alignment is required. Modify the A and B values as shown in the manual alignment
table.
NOTE: If automatic alignment fails, see ‘Automatic Printhead Alignment fails’ in the user guide.
To launch Manual Alignment, go to the Internal Print Server and select Printer ►Printhead alignment ►Manual
►Align.
The printer prints 21 series of patterns, each one named with a letter (A–U). You must choose the best result
from each of the series (for example, number 10 in the picture below).
The alignment procedure includes both the colored printheads and the optimizer printhead, and takes about 10
minutes. It consumes printed substrate of 72 cm width x 37 cm height (28.3 × 14.6 in).
NOTE: Depending on the firmware version, this pattern could be slightly different.
The picture below shows the distribution of printheads in the carriage. It also shows the correspondence
between printhead and patterns, with guidance on the direction of the corrections (0–40) applied.
The following table summarizes the correction type controlled by each pattern:
O lc Scan Axis
P lm Scan Axis
Q C Scan Axis
R Y Scan Axis
S M Scan Axis
U M, Y Substrate Axis
Take this into account when trying to compensate for any misalignment observed in the printhead alignment
diagnostics plot.
The central correction is 20 (15 for A), being the default value for each pattern in the Internal Print Server.
The optimizer ink is transparent, so it is not easy to detect visually. To make it easier, a background of composite
ink has been added on top of it. It highlights the optimizer, making it visible most of the time.
The patterns A and B are intended to align the optimizer printhead to the colored printheads in both directions
(scan axis and substrate axis).
The image below shows the background with the optimizer lines on top of it.
● Insert an intermediate correction (A=15, B=20), assuming the optimizer is well aligned. In this case, take a
close look afterwards for associated defects, such as bleed, halo, or wicking. See ‘Bleed, halo, wicking’ in
the user guide.
Another possibility is that the optimizer printhead or the colored printheads may have too many clogged
nozzles, resulting in a poor background area fill, which makes it difficult to detect the optimizer bars. In this case,
see ‘Check and clean the printheads’ in the user guide.
The optimizer printhead is still misaligned in the substrate axis after alignment
The optimizer printhead is staggered and there is a gap between it and the other printheads, so in the patterns A
and B a substrate advance is needed to align it to the background and the reference black. If the substrate
advance is inaccurate, the optimizer correction for the substrate axis (pattern A) may not be valid. You may
detect some bleed in the boundaries between colors in the substrate axis direction, usually when passing from
high ink density areas to lower ink density areas. In this case, ensure that the substrate advance is accurate (see
Substrate-advance compensation on page 460) before performing alignment.
NOTE: You can use the diagnostics plot to check printhead alignment, then fine-tune the values by following
the instructions on the diagnostics plot. Also, if the substrate is similar to one that you already use, you can print
only the diagnostic plot (much faster than printhead alignment) and fine-tune the values in the Internal Print
Server.
IMPORTANT: The diagnostic plot is not designed to fine-tune automatic printhead alignment; in that case, the
diagnostic plot is only used to check printhead alignment.
The next picture shows an example of the diagnostics plot. Each part is described following the terminology of
the manual alignment. Row0 is the row of printheads closer to the substrate output, while Row1 is the row of
printheads closer to the substrate input. In the same plot there is an area in which the carriage layout is
described with the appropriate labels, just for reference.
The colors are labeled C, M, Y, c, m. In each case, the inner cross should be aligned with the outer cross.
In case of misalignment the arrows indicate the pattern of the manual alignment that will correct the
misalignment. Also, the ‘40’ label indicates the direction towards where the line will be moved when a ‘40’ value
is applied. For example, imagine that in the manual alignment the chosen value for S is 23, and the chosen value
for U is 17. Imagine also a misplacement in the M:
● Scan axis misplacement: The M line is displaced to the right. Since the ‘40’ arrow points to the right, if you
apply values bigger than your actual value it will be moved further to the right. But, since the vertical M line
is displaced to the right, you need to move it to the left. Therefore, a value lower than your actual selection
(S=23) is needed.
● Substrate axis misplacement: The M line is displaced to the top. Since the ‘40’ arrow points to the bottom, if
you apply values bigger than your actual value it will be moved to the bottom. This is just what you want,
so a value higher than the actual selection (U=17) is needed.
This area shows the optimizer-to-color printhead alignment. The optimizer is referenced to the black ink. It
works exactly the same as Zone 1. However, there is a background color that highlights the presence of the
optimizer.
This area shows scan-axis bidirectional alignment between colors. As in the descriptions of the previous areas, in
case of misalignment the bottom arrows indicate the pattern of the manual alignment that will correct the
misalignment (I, J patterns). Also, the ‘40’ label indicates the direction in which the line will be moved if a ‘40’
value is applied. There are two areas for scan-axis bidirectional check, one for each speed (40ips and 50ips).
The correct bidirectional alignment has been found when the Fwd and Rev lines are perfectly aligned.
The following example shows a misalignment situation with an existing correction G=24, and how to correct it:
In this case, the diagram shows the need to change the value corresponding to the G pattern, it also indicates
that the correction needs to be moved towards lower values, because the ‘40’ value would move it in the wrong
direction.
Color calibration
Color calibration enables your printer to produce consistent colors with a particular substrate type, even if
printheads, ink cartridges, and environmental conditions change.
Color calibration sets the ink restriction and linearization, which varies with the drop weight of the printhead. This
calibration has been designed to provide consistency as the printhead ages (drop-weight degradation) and from
one printer to another. For example, to reach a maximum cyan density of 0.6, one printhead may require 3 drops
while another one may require 3.5 drops (lower drop weight).
There are no factory-reference color-calibration values in the printer or within the presets: the first calibration for
each substrate sets the color reference for future calibrations. The future calibrations will therefore try to match
the colors of the first calibration. In this way you maintain consistency as the printhead ages.
Good nozzle health is important, and the printheads should also be as new as possible for best performance
when you make the first calibration.
It is also important to have the printheads well aligned (see Align the printheads on page 450), and to make sure
the substrate is advancing correctly (see Substrate-advance compensation on page 460), otherwise the color
pattern may appear blurry or with slightly different colors.
To start color calibration from the Internal Print Server, select Substrate ►Color calibration, then click the
Calibrate button.
NOTE: Only non-porous substrates wider than 61 cm (24 in) can be calibrated. Porous substrates cannot be
calibrated.
NOTE: Color calibration is not recommended when the carriage beam is in a higher position than normal.
The calibration process is fully automatic and can be performed unattended after you have loaded substrate of
the type you wish to calibrate. The process takes about 15 minutes and consists of the following steps:
1. The color calibration test chart is printed, which contains patches of different densities of each ink used in
your printer.
2. The test chart is scanned and color-measured using the embedded spectrophotometer. If the scan cannot
be completed successfully, a message is displayed by the Internal Print Server; see ‘Color calibration fails’
in the user guide.
3. From the measurements made by the spectrophotometer, the printer calculates the necessary correction
tables to apply to your print jobs for consistent color printing on that substrate type—except in the case of
the first calibration, which sets the reference for later ones.
● Whenever a new substrate type is introduced that has not yet been calibrated: to set the reference.
● Whenever you notice excessive color differences between prints. Such color differences can be caused by
aging and wear of the printheads, installing new printheads, changes in substrate characteristics between
one roll and another, changing environmental conditions, and so on.
You can check the color calibration status of your substrates with the Internal Print Server: select Substrate
►Color calibration ►Show all.
● Default status indicates that this substrate has never been calibrated, and therefore no reference state is
defined.
● Done status indicates that a color calibration has been performed successfully on this substrate, the
reference state is defined and still up to date.
● Obsolete status indicates that the printer status has changed since the reference was defined, so a new
calibration must be done in order to maintain color consistency.
Color calibration is based on the color measurement of printed color patches, using the embedded
spectrophotometer. Some characteristics of substrates, such as surface roughness or transparency, may make
reflective color measurement of some substrate types very inaccurate. Color calibration of these substrates may
fail or produce unacceptable printing results.
TIP: If color calibration fails at the first attempt, it is worth trying again.
To delete the reference for a given substrate, so that you can create a new reference for that substrate, you
must reset the color calibration. In the Internal Print Server, select Substrate ►Color calibration ►Reset.
You should calibrate a substrate type before creating its color profile; however, you can later recalibrate without
needing to recreate the color profile.
1. Create the reference for the first printer: do at least the first color calibration with the substrate in question.
2. Export the substrate preset from the first printer. The reference is also exported.
4. Perform color calibration with the same substrate for the second printer, to make it consistent with the
reference imported with the preset.
Now both printers have the same reference for the same substrate, and all the consecutive color calibrations will
be trying to match this reference state.
Color profiles
Color calibration provides consistent colors, but consistent colors are not necessarily accurate. For instance, if
your printer prints all colors as black, its colors may be consistent but they are not accurate.
In order to print accurate colors, it is necessary to convert the color values in your files to the color values that
will produce the correct colors from your printer, your inks, and your substrate. An ICC color profile is a
description of a printer, ink, and substrate combination that contains all the information needed for these color
conversions.
These color conversions are performed by your Raster Image Processor (RIP), not by the printer. For further
information on the use of ICC profiles, see the documentation for your application software and for your RIP.
Substrate-advance compensation
Accurate substrate advance is important to print quality because it is part of controlling the proper placement of
dots on the substrate. If the substrate does not advance the proper distance between printhead passes, light or
dark bands appear on the print, and there may be an increase in graininess.
The printer has a substrate-advance sensor and is calibrated to advance correctly with most of the substrates
that appear in the Internal Print Server. When the substrate is loaded, the substrate-advance sensor checks the
substrate and decides whether it can be adjusted automatically or not. If not, the automatic adjustment is
disabled.
If the substrate cannot be adjusted automatically by the substrate-advance sensor and the substrate advance is
not correct, you may wish to change the substrate-advance compensation manually. See Image quality
troubleshooting on page 475 in the user guide for steps to determine whether substrate-advance
compensation will help you. In general, substrate-advance calibration is recommended when you see print-
quality problems related to substrate advance, or when you define a new substrate.
NOTE: Manual substrate-advance compensation is available only when the substrate-advance sensor is
disabled—automatically, or manually through the Printing adjustments button in the Internal Print Server main
window.
The substrate-advance sensor may not work correctly if it is dirty. See ‘Clean the substrate-advance sensor’ in
the user guide.
If the sensor was dirty, after cleaning it the advance compensation already calculated may not be valid, so you
are recommended to set the advance compensation for this substrate to zero and check that the advance is
correct. If the advance is still not accurate, follow the advance compensation process, bearing in mind that the
sensor is not dirty and probably your substrate type is not compatible with it.
Alternatively, you can use the Print adjustment button in the Internal Print Server main window. This opens a
dialog box with an advance compensation section, in which there are three main areas:
1. Check the box to enable the OMAS (substrate-advance sensor). If it is disabled automatically while loading,
you cannot enable it. However, if you disable it yourself, you can re-enable it.
2. If the substrate-advance sensor is disabled, you can increase or decrease the substrate-advance
compensation.
3. Three images of possible defects due to substrate-advance issues, to help to you decide whether the
substrate-advance compensation should be increased or decreased.
In order to apply and save the values, press the Apply button in the dialog box before closing it. Then the
substrate-advance compensation value is saved for that particular substrate. Other substrates are not affected.
If you are using a generic substrate preset, you are recommended to clone the preset (Substrate ►Clone) and
work with that before adjusting the substrate-advance compensation, as the print adjustment is not available for
generic presets. See ‘Edit a substrate preset’ in the user guide.
Locate the lightest of the columns and enter its number as the advance parameter for the Printer ►Printing
adjustments dialog. The value chosen in this example should be −3.
Afterwards, reprint the test and fine-tune: increase the value if there is a thin dark line, decrease it if there is a
thin white line.
TIP: The value used for the substrate advance depends directly on the thickness of the substrate, and needs to
be changed only when you are suffering print-quality issues that are caused by the substrate advance, as
explained in ‘Substrate-advance sensor’ in the user guide. To obtain the right value faster and more accurately,
see the following table:
150 µm (5.9 250 µm (9.8 400 µm (15.7 550 µm (21.7 700 µm (27.6 850 µm (33.5 1000 µm
50 µm (2 mil) mil) mil) mil) mil) mil) mil) (39.4 mil)
● Printhead Alignment: This is applied to all presets and print modes. Usually, when switching from one
substrate to another, there is no need to realign the printheads. However, if the printhead-to-paper
spacing has changed significantly (different thickness, etc.), then the printheads should be realigned.

Compared with the customer’s Verify alignment print, this one offers:
● No optimizer
The plot does not indicate how to correct the alignment; it is used to check finer problems, after which you
should rerun the alignment to fix them. It can also be used to check for skew.
Substrate-advance sensor pixel-size calibration is executed from Print Care diagnostics, in the substrate-
advance sensor section. It may be done automatically or manually; the automatic process is not available with
early firmware releases.
The second step consists of reprinting the same plot to check that the entered values have properly calibrated
the sensor.
The plot is similar to the substrate-advance adjustment plot: see Substrate-advance test print on page 462. It
should be printed on self-adhesive vinyl, preferably HP Permanent Gloss Self-adhesive Vinyl or a similar
material. It consists of a series of interference patterns:
1. From the image, pick the last portion of the most central pattern, which is usually the one that is closest to
the substrate-advance sensor.
2. In the pattern, disregard the incomplete areas and look at the last eight complete passes.
3. Locate the lightest column and, in the diagnostic test dialog boxes, enter the correction for each of the
eight passes. If there are two equally light columns, for example +3 and +4, the dialog boxes have an
option for entering both values: “3-4” instead of “3” or “4”.
4. The firmware uses these values to calculate the pixel size of the current sensor.
1. Print the substrate advance adjustment plot (see Substrate-advance test print on page 462).
2. Look at the last portion of the three most central patterns. The lightest column should be in approximately
the same position in each case (±1). If this is not the case, the substrate roll is skewed and should be
reloaded properly.
4. If the sensor is not working properly, random errors will appear as abrupt changes in the lightest of the
columns.
5. Disable the substrate-advance sensor and reprint the plot. Now there should be a clear lightest column,
possibly not at “0” but at least constant.
If you find a problem, clean the substrate-advance sensor and retry, before replacing it.
NOTE: Disabling the substrate-advance sensor is not permanent: after restarting the printer, the sensor will be
enabled again.
This plot shows the printhead-to-printhead registration along the scan axis. The error is revealed by means of an
interference or vernier pattern that spans the whole scan axis of the printer. The plot can be printed only on
substrates of maximum width (at least 125 inches) to ensure a complete check of the scan axis.
In general, the registration between colors should not show abrupt changes. A smooth variation along the scan
axis is expected; the main cause is substrate expansion.
Abrupt changes signal serious problems with the scan-axis encoder strip.
In the cyan band, a faulty encoder strip causes glitches about 3 mm apart that correspond to the printhead
arrays.
In the yellow and magenta band, the abrupt glitches measure about 120 to 125 mm apart.
Generally, you should always find both of these glitches when there is a problem with the encoder strip.
NOTE: If you recognize both of these patterns in the same plot, even slightly, replace the encoder strip. See
Impelling encoder strip (K4T88-67044) on page 916. This problem should not be tolerated.
Requirements:
● material required:
– Up to date documentation (user guide, installation guide, etc.) and FW, Print Care and IPS
Items to test:
● Do a hard cleaning on all Printheads (to ensure the best possible Printhead quality) (could take 15 - 25
minutes)
● Print the pre-ripped file (refer to the installation guide) in 6 and 8 pass. Use this image as a reference file to
compare results after completing the check.
● Run the diagnostic test Show sensor status (50005)(OMAS section, see Table 5-8 Substrate-advance
sensor (OMAS) on page 559), and ensure that the OMAS is fully working.
● Run a Check Height and tilt Calibration (47005) and calibrate height if needed (see Table 5-16 Printhead
cleaning on page 580.
In the case of white lines, check the homogeneity of the upper part of the blade by passing your
finger along all the length of the blade as follows:
○ Open the Printhead cleaning assembly by opening the latch, loosen the cleaning material so
that you can pass your finger under the material.
If it is rough in the same location as the white line, replace the blade.
● Move the carriage to the service position and switch off the printer.
● Check the printer is clean. See Summary of maintenance operations on page 1467:
– Check encoder strip of scan axis: clean it by pointing the air pressure run to the encoder strip (you first
need to remove the cover of the encoder).
– Check (and clean scan axis rods if needed). The Carriage rail cleaning will be done later when
restarting the printer.
– Check vapor removal system — make sure it is clean and there is no condensation.
– Weigh each intermediate tank by hand to confirm that all each has approximately at least 500g — no
intermediate tank should be empty.
● Restart the printer (with a new blade if the defect described above was detected).
● Run the 100l maintenance, to ensure good lubrication of the scan axis rods.
● Check that the scan beam can lift up and down (from the IPS).
– Print the nozzle check, from the IPS: Printer ►Printhead cleaning ►Verify printhead status.
– Once curing is done, from Print Care: Diagnostics ►Capping/Drop Detection ►Force drop detection
(52005).
Compare the results from the number of nozzles out displayed on the screen and the real number of
nozzle out visible from the previous printer plot (verify printhead status). The number should
approximately match — It will not be a 100% match.
● Check printhead alignment: Printer ►Printhead alignment ►Verify alignment ►Print. See Align the
printheads on page 450.
● Check the substrate advance from the IPS: Printer ►Advance calibration ►Plot.
● Reprint the flower plot, pre-ripped file in 6 and 8 passes (refer to the installation guide).
● Check the image quality. When inspecting the print, observe that there are no defects from a viewing
distance of one meter if printing with six or eight passes, or from three meters if printing with four or five
passes. Should any defect appear diagnose it using the recommendations in the Image quality
troubleshooting on page 475.
* Non-porous textile or canvas. See ‘Check the porosity of your substrate’ in the user guide.
Hardware checks
MI/MO Motors
● Check if there is any strange noise related to the motor and transmission movement.
● Check that the motors are correctly tighten to the Side plates.
● Check if there is any degradation on the Side plate gear. Check if there is clearance between the gear and
the shaft.
● Check if there is remaining grease between the worm gear and the Drive roller gear.
● Check if there is clearance between the Media drive mounting structure and the printer’s Side plate.
Spindles
● Make sure the core is reliably fixed on the spindle by air pressure, otherwise there can slip affecting the
required front tension of the substrate.
Side plates
● Check that the Side plates are correctly tighten to the stand structure.
Pinch assembly

● Check using the IPS OMAS display to verify if the OMAS is working or not.
If any of these issues has appeared, please find the proper information in this Service Manual or contact with
your Service representative Team.
Adjustment checks
After performing the Hardware checks, please make sure that the printhead alignment has been done reliably.
For calibration purposes, Self-adhesive vinyls such as Avery MPI3001 or HP Permanent Gloss self-adhesive vinyl
are suitable.
Please make sure that you use the substrate advance check bars on both sides of the image to help you
diagnose if the advance is working correctly. You can add them on the Add job window as a nesting. Path: C:
\Users\hplatex\Documents\HP IPS\Advance Calibration. Choose the suitable resolution for
your job, 150-300 or 600 dpi.
1. Check that the tensions and the vacuum are balanced and according to the media type:
a. With the advance bars on the side of the image, diagnose and determine if there is an advance issue
or not.
b. You can also run Advance calibration from the IPS and read if the lightest line is centered on zero. If
the line is not centered or is moving cyclically, execute the Print Care OMAS tests described bellow.
a. Make sure the OMAS window is clean (this is part of the weekly maintenance as well). The operator
can use isopropyl alcohol for cleaning. To check if it is clean, run the Cleanliness check (50003) test in
Print Care.
b. Check that the OMAS is working (check for the light in the OMAS to work during print). If OMAS has
problems to navigate the substrate, there will be no warning message in the monitor. You can run the
Show sensor status (50005) test in Print Care to check this.
ii. Print test prints and check for quality defects, compare against former results with OMAS
enabled.
Calibrations
If the OMAS is still not working correctly, perform the following calibrations in this order (all media path):
1. Calibrate all the motors in the substrate path: Motor calibration (41004) (MI/MO/MF), run without spindles.
a. Make sure that the substrate advance roller is clean (this is part of the weekly maintenance). The
operator can use isopropyl alcohol to clean it.
b. Make sure that the analog drive roller sensor is clean and not damaged.
d. Perform the drive roller calibration check (this will fine-tune the substrate advance): Drive roller check
(41007).

You are recommended to review the acceptability of a defect according to this table before proceeding to
diagnose it to make sure the selected print mode is the most appropriate for the purpose of the job. Increasing
the number of passes to 8 or more enables higher ink quantities if needed and/or the use of difficult printing
materials thanks to the longer drying and curing times. Print modes with more passes are more resistant to
banding. In general, follow these recommendations:
● Judge the print quality after the print has completely emerged from the printer. In some cases, defects
seen while printing disappear after the image is completely cured.
● Check that the environmental conditions (room temperature and humidity) are in the recommended range.
See the User Guide: Environmental specifications.
● To achieve the best performance from your printer, use only genuine HP supplies and accessories, whose
reliability and performance have been thoroughly tested to give trouble-free performance and best-quality
prints.
● Check that the substrate type selected in the Internal Print Server is the same as the substrate type loaded
into the printer.
CAUTION: If you have the wrong substrate type selected, you could experience poor print quality and
incorrect colors, and perhaps even damage to the printheads.
● Check that you are printing on the right side of the substrate.
● Check that you are using in the RIP software the correct substrate preset, which includes the ICC profile for
your substrate and print mode.
● Check whether there are any outstanding printer alerts in the Internal Print Server. React to the alert as
instructed in this guide.
In particular:
● Make sure the substrate is flat and has no wrinkles. See the User Guide: Troubleshoot substrate issues.
● Check that the substrate has no skew or telescoping. Check that you are loading the substrate using the
correct process. See the User Guide: Load a roll into the printer.
● For color consistency issues, check that the color calibration was performed when the substrate was added
to the Internal Print Server. See the User Guide: Use a new substrate.
● Make sure it has also been performed in the current conditions, especially considering substrate batch and
printheads. See Color calibration on page 458.
● Basic troubleshooting will help to resolve the majority of the typical print-quality issues related to banding,
graininess, and printhead alignment.
● Advanced troubleshooting helps to resolve the above issues when the basic steps did not work, but it also
covers other possible print-quality defects, diagnosis, and resolution.

See the User Guide: Check and clean the printheads. The check and clean process will check the printheads,
recover the ones with blocked nozzles, and replace the nozzles that are not recovered with healthy ones for
printing.
Run the OMAS Diagnostic Test from the HP Print Care window.
NOTE: OMAS stands for Optical Media Advance Sensor, usually known as the substrate-advance sensor in this
guide.
The test will tell you whether the substrate-advance sensor is working correctly or not (either dirty or damaged).
If the substrate-advance sensor is dirty, clean the sensor. See the User Guide: Clean the substrate-advance
sensor.
Even if the sensor is working correctly, the substrate may not be navigable, meaning that the substrate-advance
sensor cannot see it properly (as in the case of transparent substrates or substrates with very smooth back
side). In this case, the substrate-advance sensor disables itself automatically. You are then recommended to
adjust the substrate-advance compensation: see Substrate-advance compensation on page 460.
For best results, cleaning the substrate-advance sensor is included in the printer’s weekly maintenance.
Printhead alignment
In case you want to perform manual printhead alignment, see Manual Alignment procedure on page 451.
The result of the alignment can be verified with the printhead alignment diagnostics plot. See Printhead
alignment diagnostics plot on page 455.
One of the most important parts of print-quality troubleshooting is to ensure that the printheads are healthy.
See Printhead health troubleshooting on page 514.
Horizontal banding
Horizontal banding means that your print suffers from added horizontal lines or bands, in a regular pattern. They
can look different depending on the cause.
These are thin dark lines across the entire image with certain frequency, more easily seen in solid area fills.
There are two likely causes:
● Printhead alignment. This is a clear contributor to banding. If printheads are not correctly aligned, the
misplaced dots could correlate directly with the severity of the banding, by putting more ink in the same
place and thus creating darker lines.
To check printhead alignment, print the printhead alignment diagnostics plot (see Printhead alignment
diagnostics plot on page 455). As a general rule, the biggest contributors to thin-dark-line banding caused
by printhead alignment are (in this order):
– If the printhead alignment was done with a different substrate of different thickness, probably a new
printhead alignment is needed.
– Fine-tune the alignment by identifiying the offenders in the printhead alignment diagnostics plot. See
Automatic alignment procedure on page 450.
● Substrate advance. Before trying to adjust any parameter, make the following checks:
– Check that no substrate-advance factor was set earlier that could prevent the substrate-advance
sensor from working correctly.
– Run the diagnostics to check that that the substrate-advance sensor is not dirty.
If the substrate advance is not well adjusted, particularly if it is under-advancing, a dark line can appear
between passes.
A clear symptom of this is when the dark lines appear across all colors, because the cause is common to all
of them. To confirm it, in the Internal Print Server, select Printer > Advance Calibration to check the
substrate advance. See Substrate-advance test print on page 462.
You can usually correct this problem by adjusting the substrate advance compensation (see Substrate-
advance compensation on page 460). However, you are recommended to run the OMAS Diagnostic Tests
from the Print Care window as soon as the substrate is unloaded, to avoid having the same problem with
other substrates. See the User Guide: Clean the substrate-advance sensor.
If the problem persists, try adjusting tension and vacuum settings according to the table below, step by
step (a to c), until you find settings that work.
These are thin white/light lines across the entire image at regular intervals, more easily seen in solid area fills.
● Nozzle clogging. A printhead nozzle can be sealed temporarily, by some fibers or dirt in the ink bore. Then
not all the ink is fired and a lighter horizontal band appears. Sometimes a bigger drop with all the
accumulated ink appears at the end of this light thin line, meaning that the bore is clear then. See
Printhead health troubleshooting on page 514.
● Printhead alignment. This is a clear contributor to banding. If printheads are not correctly aligned, the
misplaced dots could correlate directly with the severity of the banding, by leaving lighter bands where the
ink should have been placed.
To check printhead alignment, print the printhead alignment diagnostics plot (see Printhead alignment
diagnostics plot on page 455). As a general rule, the biggest contributors to thin-white-line banding caused
by printhead alignment:
– If the printhead alignment was done with a different substrate of different thickness, probably a new
printhead alignment is needed.
– Fine-tune the alignment by identifying the offenders in the printhead alignment diagnostics plot. See
Automatic alignment procedure on page 450.
● Substrate advance. Before trying to adjust any parameter, make the following checks:
– Check that no substrate-advance factor was set earlier that could prevent the substrate-advance
sensor from working correctly.
– Run the diagnostics to check that the substrate-advance sensor is not dirty.
If the substrate advance is not well adjusted, particularly if it is over-advancing, a white line can appear
between passes.
A clear symptom of this is when the white lines appear across all colors, because the cause is common to
all of them. To confirm it, in the Internal Print Server, select Printer > Advance Calibration to check the
substrate advance. See Substrate-advance test print on page 462.
You can usually correct this problem by adjusting the substrate advance compensation (see Substrate-
advance compensation on page 460). However, you are recommended to run the OMAS Diagnostic Tests
from the Print Care window as soon as the substrate is unloaded, to avoid having the same problem with
other substrates. See the User Guide: Clean the substrate-advance sensor.
If the problem persists, try adjusting tension and vacuum settings according to the table below, step by
step (a to c), until you find settings that work.
These are periodic horizontal bands formed of a lighter band and a consecutive darker band. This pattern is
mostly seen in solid color area fills (such as light purple or gray).
● Coalescence. This is due to an excessive amount of ink, and the ink being misplaced as it is deposited on
the substrate, generating bands with more ink than other alternate bands. It can also be caused by firing
too much ink in a short time. Coalescence is most likely to be seen in areas of high ink density.
● Printhead alignment. This is a clear contributor to banding. If printheads are not correctly aligned, the
misplaced dots could correlate directly to the severity of the banding.
To check printhead alignment, print the printhead alignment diagnostics plot (see Printhead alignment
diagnostics plot on page 455). As a general rule, the biggest contributors to light-and-dark banding caused
by printhead alignment are (in this order):
– Bidirectional alignment
– If the printhead alignment was done with a different substrate of different thickness, probably a new
printhead alignment is needed.
– Fine-tune the alignment by identifiying the offenders in the printhead alignment diagnostics plot. See
Automatic alignment procedure on page 450.
● Substrate advance. Before trying to adjust any parameter, make the following checks:
– Check that no substrate-advance factor was set earlier that could prevent the substrate-advance
sensor from working correctly.
– Run the diagnostics to check that that the substrate-advance sensor is not dirty.
When the substrate advance is incorrect, some light and dark horizontal bands can appear from the
misplacement of the ink.
To confirm it, in the Internal Print Server, select Printer ►Advance Calibration to check the substrate
advance. See Substrate-advance test print on page 462.
You can usually correct this problem by adjusting the substrate advance compensation (see Substrate-
advance compensation on page 460). However, you are recommended to run the OMAS Diagnostic Tests
from the Print Care window as soon as the substrate is unloaded, to avoid having the same problem with
other substrates. See the User Guide: Clean the substrate-advance sensor.
If the problem persists, try adjusting tension and vacuum settings according to the table below, step by
step (a to c), until you find settings that work.
Gloss banding
This appears in dark, high-density areas as horizontal gloss or matte bands about 1 cm wide. It can happen
when the curing system settings are not correct for the substrate.
If the bands are more apparent when tilting the print or changing your viewing position, then it is likely to be
gloss banding.
To solve the problem, check your curing settings (airflow, curing temperature). You could also try using a
different print mode.
Aeroworms
Aeroworms consist of thin bands with higher density than the surrounding area. They are about 6 cm long and
have a horizontal tendency, but they tend to curve like worms. They are not continuous across the substrate,
and seem to appear at random.
When the ink is being fired, there are airflow turbulences under the carriage that can affect the positioning of the
drops. Therefore, some waves of ink can be formed and deposited on the substrate to create this effect.
● Check the printhead-to-ribs spacing in the Internal Print Server. If it is higher than normal, try reducing it.
● Check that the aerosol filters are not saturated or broken. See the User Guide: Replace the aerosol filters.
Vertical banding
Vertical banding means that your print suffers from added vertical lines or bands, in a regular pattern.
Microbanding
This consists of vertical lines less than 2 mm (0.08 in) wide, of very high frequency, that appear in some area
fills. Often they are hardly visible.
Microbanding is probably caused by a faulty printhead. Print the printhead alignment diagnostics plot (see
Printhead alignment diagnostics plot on page 455) to find which printhead is responsible, and replace the
printhead.
If the bands are about 2 cm (0.8 in) apart, it means that the substrate is well controlled in the print zone and is in
contact with all the ribs in the platen as intended. However, if the suction is too high, a difference in grain can be
seen, and bands appear 2 cm apart.
● Check the scan-beam height in the Internal Print Server. If it is higher than normal, try lowering it.
● Decrease vacuum and tension settings according to the table below, step by step (a to c), until you find
settings that work.
A small amount of vertical banding (like waves) can be seen, with a frequency from about 4 cm (1.6 in) to 10 cm
(3.9 in), when printing large area fills of the same color.
The substrate is not in contact with all the ribs in the platen, which means that it is not fully controlled, so wide
wrinkles appear on the print zone. As the height of the printhead above the substrate varies, there are local
differences in grain that can be seen as lighter or darker wide bands (see picture). To solve this, it is important to
improve substrate control in this zone and reduce the wrinkles.
● Check the scan-beam height in the Internal Print Server. If it is higher than normal, try lowering it.
● Increase vacuum and tension settings according to the table below, step by step (i to iv), until you find
settings that work (by improving control in the print zone).
Color misalignment
Colors appear misaligned. Typically, lines and text are most affected by this issue.
It can happen in both axes: the substrate axis and the scan axis.
Color misalignment is most likely to be caused by printhead misalignment. To check printhead alignment, print
the printhead alignment diagnostics plot (see Printhead alignment diagnostics plot on page 455).
Sometimes a small color migration may be observed at the border between different colors (bleed). It may also
happen at the border between a color and blank substrate (no ink), reducing the sharpness of the shape. On
some substrates, a gloss halo can be observed at the border between colors.
● Optimizer misalignment: There may be misalignment between the optimizer printhead and the other
printheads. To check the printhead alignment, print the printhead alignment diagnostics plot (see Printhead
alignment diagnostics plot on page 455). If necessary, perform a manual alignment, then reprint the
printhead alignment diagnostics plot.
If the problem is in the substrate axis direction, it may also be caused by incorrect substrate advance. See
Substrate-advance test print on page 462 and Substrate-advance compensation on page 460.
● Optimizer level, which may be too low for this substrate and ink density. Other associated defects may also
appear, such as coalescence or grain in the area fills due to low wetting of the ink on the substrate. You can
correct this problem by increasing the optimizer percentage in the substrate preset.
● Drying temperature, which may be too low for this substrate and ink density. Other associated defects may
also appear, such as coalescence or grain in the area fills due to low wetting of the ink on the substrate.
You can correct this problem by increasing the drying temperature in the substrate preset.
On glossy substrates, the print may have lower gloss than expected, which is probably due to the optimizer level.
To investigate and correct this problem, try increasing and decreasing the optimizer percentage in the substrate
preset.
Color accuracy
Ideally, the colors that you see on the screen should match the colors in the print. In practice, you may find that
the colors are not sufficiently accurate. There are three possible causes:
● Color calibration provides consistent colors, but consistent colors are not necessarily accurate. However, if
the combination of substrate and printheads has not been calibrated recently (or ever), that is a possible
source of color inaccuracy. You can eliminate the possibility by performing a color calibration (see Color
calibration on page 458).
● ICC profile. If you are using the wrong profile, your colors are likely to be inaccurate. Check which profile you
are using. If necessary, you can make your own ICC profile for the printer, printheads, print mode, and
substrate that you are using.
● Ink density, which affects color saturation. If the color saturation of your print seems wrong, try changing
the ink density in the substrate preset; you may need to change the number of passes at the same time.
In some cases, at the edges of area fills, a small number of ink drops may be missing or slightly darker,
producing a local color variation.
These defects are due to the printheads travelling from side to side without printing.
● In each pass, the first 1 or 2 drops of a color are darker because they are more concentrated with pigment.
To resolve these defects, add spit bars at each side of the image, to make sure nozzles are refreshed before
printing each pass. If possible, you could also rotate the image to avoid situations such as shown in the example.
Possible causes
● Uniform variations from tile to tile. When color changes uniformly it must be within the color consistency
specification; see the User Guide “Color consistency” for more details. Usually grays are much more
sensitive: differences of much less than 2 dE 2000 may be visible, although other colors would not show a
difference.
● Small color variation left to right. The tile itself looks uniform, but when putting it beside the adjacent tile
the differences become visible.
● Local color variations. See Local color variations on page 487. Sometimes these defects become visible
only when printing tiles, showing in one of the tiles but not in the adjacent. They are also more visible when
printing grays.
Possible solutions
● Try to ensure uniform printing of all tiles, and all tiles printed in the same run.
● Adding spit bars at both sides of the image helps overall, especially when there are local color variations.
The edges of objects may appear rough or blurred; this is especially noticeable in text.
● Substrate advance. Before trying to adjust any parameter, make the following checks:
– Check that no substrate-advance factor was set earlier that could prevent the substrate-advance
sensor from working correctly.
– Run the diagnostics to check that the substrate-advance sensor is not dirty.
If the substrate advance is incorrectly adjusted, particularly if it is under-advancing, a dark line can appear
between passes. When the problem of line roughness or text quality applies to all colors and appears in the
substrate axis direction, it is likely to be related to incorrect substrate advance. Another clue that could
point to substrate advance as a cause is to observe that the defect is not constant, appearing and
disappearing along the print in the substrate axis.
To confirm it, go to the Internal Print Server and select Printer ►Advance Calibration to check the substrate
advance. See Substrate-advance test print on page 462.
To correct the substrate advance, see Substrate-advance compensation on page 460. In most cases, this
will solve the problem. However, you are recommended to run the OMAS Diagnostic Tests from the Print
Care window as soon as the substrate is unloaded, to avoid having the same problem with other
substrates. See the User Guide: Clean the substrate-advance sensor.
If the problem persists, try adjusting tension and vacuum settings according to the table below, step by
step (a to c), until you find settings that work.
● Printhead-to-ribs spacing. Check the printhead-to-ribs spacing in the Internal Print Server. If it is higher
than normal, try reducing it.
● Vacuum. In some thin substrates, if the vacuum is too high, the substrate follows the shape of the platen
ribs, modifying the printhead-to-substrate spacing and causing vertical line roughness. In this case, as the
substrate advances, vertical lines get wider after each pass, while horizontal lines are not affected.
To correct this problem, try adjusting tension and vacuum settings according to the table below, step by
step (a to c), until you find settings that work.
Graininess
The print shows a higher level of grain than expected, either throughout the print or in some specific areas. The
example below shows more grain in the lower half than in the upper half.
● Coalescence. Some substrates, in some particular conditions, can produce a type of grain due to wetting
issues. For example, in high humidity or low temperature environments, the ink may not dry fast enough in
fast print modes, producing a grainy effect on the print. The example below shows worse coalescence on
the right-hand side.
It is difficult to decide whether this kind of problem is due to wetting or to dot placement error (described
below). The type of grain could be a clue: in the case of wetting issues, dots tend to aggregate into bigger
dots, with empty spaces in between. A magnifying glass can be useful to examine the print in more detail.
● Printhead alignment. This is a clear contributor to grain. If printheads are not correctly aligned, the
misplaced dots could correlate directly with the severity of the graininess.
To check printhead alignment, print the printhead alignment diagnostics plot (see Printhead alignment
diagnostics plot on page 455). As a general rule, the biggest contributors to grain caused by printhead
alignment are (in this order):
– Bidirectional alignment
– If the printhead alignment was done with a different substrate of different thickness, probably a new
printhead alignment is needed.
– Fine-tune the alignment by identifiying the offenders in the printhead alignment diagnostics plot. See
Automatic alignment procedure on page 450.
● Substrate advance. Before trying to adjust any parameter, make the following checks:
– Check that no substrate-advance factor was set earlier that could prevent the substrate-advance
sensor from working correctly.
– Run the diagnostics to check that that the substrate-advance sensor is not dirty.
Grain in a print can be increased by incorrect substrate advance, due to mispositioning of the dots.
To check the substrate advance, go to the Internal Print Server and select Printer ►Advance Calibration.
See Substrate-advance test print on page 462.
To correct the substrate advance, see Substrate-advance compensation on page 460. In most cases, this
will solve the problem. However, you are recommended to run the OMAS Diagnostic Tests from the Print
Care window as soon as the substrate is unloaded, to avoid having the same problem with other
substrates. See the User Guide: Substrate-advance test print.
If the problem persists, try adjusting tension and vacuum settings according to the table below, step by
step (a to c), until you find settings that work.
● Substrate wrinkles. If you see patches of high grain in some local areas of the print, this could be caused by
wrinkles in the substrate. See the User Guide: There are wrinkles and ink smears on the substrate.
● Color usage. In general, 4-color printing produces more grain than 6-color printing.
● Diverter horizontal marks: Deformations of the substrate in the shape of straight lines (about 6 cm long)
towards the printed side of the substrate. They are separated about 2 cm vertically and 1 cm horizontally.
● Diverter vertical marks: These physical marks have the appearance of a braid. They consist of small
wrinkles just below the curing module, forming a vertical line of small deformations.
Both kinds of deformations can be the result of an excessive curing temperature. See the User Guide: There are
physical marks on the substrate.
Poor curing
When the heat applied to the printed substrate is not enough for the quantity of ink laid down, the print may
appear wet or with some gloss marks. The heat needed to cure is directly dependent to the combination of: ink
density, time under the curing module (printmode), curing temperature, airflow, and drying power. These are the
defects you may see:
● Perforated plate gloss marks: The print suffers from an added matte pattern over the areas with more ink
density. You can see small circles scattered over the picture with different levels of gloss.
● Wet print: The ink comes out of the curing module not perfectly dry, and in severe cases the ink can be
smudged by touching it.
● Reduce throughput.
● Repeat the Add New Substrate procedure in case you had wrong settings in the substrate preset.
2. Use the correct procedure to change ink cartridges, through the Internal Print Server. See Remove an Ink
Cartridge in the user guide.
4. Check that the ink cartridge is of the correct color. A connector will refuse to connect to a cartridge of the
wrong color.
5. Check that the ink cartridge is correctly oriented (compare with the others).
2. Ensure that the tabs on each side of the cartridge connector are opened but in place, showing a successful
connection.
3. If the problem persists, check the ink cartridge connector (see Bent ink cartridge connector on page 494).
4. If the problem still persists, call your service representative (see LogMeIn rescue on page 1400).
2. Reconnect the ink cartridge and check the Internal Print Server message.
3. If the problem persists, check the ink cartridge connector (see Bent ink cartridge connector on page 494).
5. If the problem still persists, call your service representative (see LogMeIn rescue on page 1400).
To correct this problem, use pliers to straighten the connectors so that they will fit into their slots.
Printheads
Cannot insert a printhead
1. Check that you are inserting the printhead into the correct slot.
2. Use the correct procedure to change printheads, through the Internal Print Server. See Remove a printhead
and Insert a printhead in the user guide, bearing in mind the special tips for the optimizer printhead.
4. Check that the printhead is correctly oriented (compare with the others).
1. When a printhead reseat message appears, the first action is to perform a specific diagnostic test in Print
Care to gather detailed information on the internal cause: Diagnostics Printhead Control Link (These tests
can be run by the printer operator).
IMPORTANT: These diagnostic tests must be run while the RESEAT error is still active in the IPS Error
Window or the condition is still present, and not after the error has been cleared.
● Run all the tests 11001, 11002, 11003, 11006. If any of the tests fail, please call your support
representative.
● Take a screenshot of the result of the last test: Printhead electrical status (11006).
NOTE: This test will perform an internal check on the printheads and try to determine the cause of
the printhead reseat error.
2. Collect the internal logs and prepare them to be delivered to your service provider. If unsuccessful, call your
service provider to perform this task for you. See LogMeIn rescue on page 1400.
● Clean printhead electrical connections. You can follow the instructions in:
– HP Print Care Maintenance Wizard: Clean Printhead Pocket and Printhead Electrical Contacts.
● Once cleaned, reseat the printhead placing a new printhead in the slot.
– If the problem is still present, call your service representative (may be electrical board related).
– If the problem is gone, continue printing. If it appears again, call your support representative.
4. Check the preliminary data (the printhead electrical status result and the steps previously executed by the
operator). If the printer operator did not execute any of the actions, start with step 1. Remember to collect
the internal logs if the operator did not do it correctly (step 2), and prepare them to be shared with GBU CA.
5. Check the Print Care error log for errors of a possible jam. If there are Possible Jam errors triggered
occurrences, it is a direct cause for reseats. Actions to prevent or minimize these crashes should be
performed, such as substrate settings check and proper edge holder usage.
● First check the Z calibration and take a picture of the Initial calibration (lines on the wiper roll). Go to
Diagnostics ►47. Printhead cleaning roll ►47005: Printhead cleaning Z calibration check.
● Calibrate the Web wipe: Diagnostics ►47. Printhead cleaning roll ►47006: Set printhead Z
calibration. Follow the instructions on the screen until you see 4 lines. Take a picture of the final
calibration (lines on the wiper roll) and keep it with the rest of the data to be sent.
● Check the status of the web wipe rubber blade (if it is damaged, ask for a new one). It may be not
cleaning correctly.
7. Run the 11006: PH electrical status test (on Print Care ►Diagnostics ►11. Printhead control link). The
other tests must have been executed already (if not, do so). The printhead electrical status test will give
you the status of each printhead and therefore the failure reason for the reported printhead reseat. Refer
to the following for all the possible outcomes: (See step 8 for troubleshooting steps depending on the
process #). Take a snapshot of the test result.

Latex 3000 printer.
Energy calibration failure Energy calibration failure. This can either be a printhead problem or a #2
printhead interconnect PCA problem.
8. Follow the troubleshooting steps depending on the printhead electrical status test result. Please refer to
the table above for guidance on which troubleshooting you need to execute:
Troubleshooting process #1
a. Printhead not inserted. Please check that there is a printhead in the slot and if there is, reinsert it.
b. Run the test again and check the status. If the result is the same, replace printhead.
Troubleshooting process #2
a. Clean the electrical connections of the printhead and board. You can follow the instructions in: HP
Print Care Maintenance Wizard “Clean Printhead Pocket and Printhead Electrical Contacts”, and in the
user guide, chapter Hardware maintenance, “Clean the printhead contacts”. Make sure they are clean
and nothing is creating a short-circuit.
1. Clean the sides of the printhead with a cloth moistened with alcohol.
2. Carefully clean the carriage contacts with a cloth moistened with alcohol.
3. Wait for some minutes until printhead and carriage contacts dry before reinserting the
printhead.
b. Inspect the printhead interconnect board electrical contacts and make sure they are not dirty, bent, or
damaged. Make sure the board is correctly mounted on the black metal back support and that the
screws are tight.
1. If the problem still appears, there may be damage on the printhead interconnect board. To
discard a transient electrical perturbation, shut down the printer, re-start it a minute later, and
perform a printhead replacement again. If the same problem occurs, the printhead interconnect
board may be faulty.
● When the printhead Interconnect board is disassembled, check if the plastic spoiler is
damaged:
If the spoiler is damaged (as in the picture above), replace the printhead Interconnect
board. Please, insert the printhead Interconnect board carefully in the Pen Pocket to avoid
damaging this part.
Troubleshooting process #3
a. Check nozzle health for blocked nozzles. Go to IPS ►Printer ►Printhead cleaning ►Verify printhead
status. If the nozzles are blocked, please perform a hard clean from the same IPS window. If the error
does not disappear, please replace the printhead.
i. Check the nozzle plate for any evident damage (probably due to a crash).
ii. Weigh the printhead if possible (must be approximately 260-270 g). If the weight is significantly
lower, there is air inside the printhead and you must replace it (not recoverable)
ii. Check the intermediate tanks are not empty using a syringe.
iii. Execute test on Print Care ►22. Ink delivery system ►[22002]: Air Pressure System, if it fails,
troubleshoot IDS with the pertinent diagnostics (see service manual for more information).
Troubleshooting process #4
Please collect all the indicated data above (logs and snapshots), and create a compressed zip folder with the
following name format: (use the date and time of the printhead reseat, so that the logs can be browsed easily by
CA to find the printer error).
This information is indispensable for the printhead reseat fix. Please share with GBU even if the printhead reseat
issue for your customer has been fixed.

General recommendations
2. Reinsert the printhead into the carriage and check the Internal Print Server message.
3. If the problem persists, exchange the printhead with the printhead of the same color in the other row.
4. If the problem persists, check the printhead contacts for dirt or aerosol and clean them if necessary. See
Clean printhead contacts in the user guide.
5. Find more troubleshooting information in the following sections, Problem due to overheating
on page 512 and Problem due to the primer system on page 512.
7. If no printhead works in that slot, call your service representative (see LogMeIn rescue on page 1400).
● The printhead may be suffering from blocked nozzles. You may be able to cure this problem by cleaning
the printheads (see Clean the printhead contacts in the user guide).
Primers are important to the printheads’ nozzle health. When there is a problem with a primer, the Internal Print
Server displays the following messages.
The message 46.02.0Y:06 – Primer 0Y leakage detected indicates that one of the primer systems leaks. The
number 0Y, where Y ranges from 1 to 7, indicates which primer is leaking.
● Run the primer diagnostic test from the Print Care window to confirm the cause of the error.
● Reseat the printhead. Make sure to push the primer into position before securing the latch. While running
the test, you will already have done it at least once.
● Check that the O-rings in the primer ports are not broken or damaged. Replace the primer if any O-ring is
missing or dented.
If none of these actions resolve the problem, call your service representative.
If you see the message 46.01.0X:YY, run the primer diagnostic test from the Print Care window to confirm the
cause of the error.
If the test instructs you to replace the primer, replace it. See Replace a primer in the user guide. Otherwise, call
your service representative with the test results at hand.
To print the printhead status plot, go to the Internal Print Server, select Printer ►Printhead cleaning and press
the Print button.
1. Section 1 is a set of mid-tone areas printed with a single ink using a 6-pass print mode with nozzle
substitution.
2. Section 2 shows plainly which nozzles in each printhead are printing and not printing.
For reference, each one of the 5 areas (square in the picture and 1 to 5) of each color corresponds to
approximately 1000 nozzles.
Execute the Drop Detector diagnostics from the Print Care window. This will identify blocked nozzles in each
printhead.

Hard clean
To perform a hard cleaning routine, go to the Internal Print Server, select Printer ►Printhead cleaning, select the
printhead(s) to clean and press the Hard clean button.
Sometimes, when the printhead is quite damaged, running the hard-clean routine twice helps to recover its
performance.
1. Ensure that the printhead was correctly stored in its orange cap.
4. Exchange the printhead with the printhead of the same color in the other row.
When the printhead cleaning roll reaches its end, it should be replaced. Always do this by following the Internal
Print Server wizard. See Replace the printhead cleaning roll, filters and spittoon in the user guide.
Any handling of the roll may prevent the printer from keeping track of roll usage, in which case you may see
spurious error messages, and a printing job may be cancelled unnecessarily.

3 Event logs
The error codes are documented in Troubleshooting system error codes on page 140. Every event specifies the
system error, the substrate usage at the time the system error appeared (total quantity of substrate at the
moment of the error), and the date when it happened. These elements let us know the frequency with which the
customer is experiencing problems.
The Error Code is a decimal number that must be converted into binary code in order to use the attached error
table conversion (see below). You can use the Windows calculator to convert the number from decimal into
binary.
The following table explains the meaning of the different bits (0 or 1). When the value of the error code is
reported as 0, it means that the printhead is working correctly:
● Example 1: Error code 4099 (decimal) is 1000000000011 (binary). Using the table above, the error code
means “FAILS_LOGICAL_V”, “FAILS_CONTINUITY” and “MISMATCH”.
● Example 2: Error code 532512 (decimal) is 10000010000000100000 (binary). Using the table above, this
errors tells us: TEMP_EXTREMELY_LOW, CSDATA_NOT_RESPONDING and EXPIRED (used expired ink). The
connection between the printer and the printhead does not seem to work.
Diagnostic log
This section shows which tests or calibrations have been run. For each test, there are two entries: 1) starting
time and 2) brief result after ending the test/calibration (pass, fail or cancelled). In the event the printer is
stopped during the test, through emergency stop or energy cutoff, the result is not logged.
● Starting time
NOTE: If the printer is stopped during the test, by emergency stop or power cutoff, the result is not
logged.
● Substrate output: may be ‘inwards’ or ‘outwards’, plus the settings established by the user for this specific
substrate
The Substrate Name with its corresponding Substrate ID (which appears in the XML of the job sent from the RIP
to the IPS) and the color calibration information (Color Status: done, default) and the date of the last color
calibration done. If the date is set to 1970, no color calibration has been done for this substrate.
Looking at this list, you can identify the parent of a custom-made substrate. A custom substrate has its parent
indicated afterwards between parentheses.

Overview
This chapter guides you through the procedures for diagnostic tests, service utilities, and service calibrations.
Diagnostics in this printer are managed from Print Care, so review the Print Care documentation before using the
diagnostics.
General diagnostics
NOTE: Some diagnostic tests or calibrations must be performed after removing a component. Read carefully
the instructions given by Print Care.
NOTE: To return the carriage to the capping position after work in diagnostic mode, restart the printer in
normal mode.
NOTE: The Operator account cannot select individual tests, and subsystem tests are executed sequentially.
If the user account is changed to Service, the full set of tests is available for the current boot mode and individual
tests can be selected. To change the user account, go to File ►Switch User.
1. Log in
2. If the printer can start in normal mode and if the diagnostic test allows it, the test can be executed without
starting in diagnostic mode. However, for certain tests, or in the event the printer is not able to start in
normal mode, it is necessary to start the printer in diagnostic mode.
To start the printer in diagnostic mode, go to Printer tools ►Power options ►Reboot in diagnostic mode.
NOTE: There is no password to start in diagnostic mode, as the operator is allowed to do it.

NOTE: If you get a severe error when restarting the printer, the diagnostics in normal mode may not work. In
this case, you are recommended to start the printer in diagnostics mode to fix the problem.
NOTE: While printing, only diagnostics for monitoring curing temperature can be executed; and you are
recommended to start the diagnostic before sending the job.
Description This test activates the safety circuit and checks that the interlocks work properly.
Interlocks are responsible for disabling carriage movement and the power supply to the curing and drying system.
There are two circuits. One of them disables the contactors. The other provides feedback to the firmware. This test
checks the feedback circuit only. If it fails, the feedback circuit should be checked. The interlock may also be defective or
the interlock actuator may not be properly activating the interlock due to a bad attachment or a misalignment. The
proper function of the safety circuit can be seen from the e-cabinet PCA Interlock CHAIN STATE (DS40) LED. It should
turn off when the front door or the loading table is opened.
Pass criteria You can see that the status changes if you open or close the safety interlocks.
Fail criteria You can see no change in status after opening or closing the front door or loading table. In this case, you need to find
the components that are not closing throughout the interlock chain (in case of failure of the front door or loading table).
See Simplified diagram and general electrical explanation on page 6.
Description This test activates the safety circuit and checks that the safety relay, contactors, e-stops, and interlocks work properly.
Pass criteria You can see that the status changes if you open or close the safety interlocks and check whether the safety relay or
emergency stops are activated.
Fail criteria With this test you can determine whether the safety locks, safety relay, and emergency stops are working properly prior
to their replacement. in case of failure, you need to find the components that are not closing thoughout the interlock
chain (if the front door or loading table has failed), or the emergency stop chain (if the emergency stop safety chain has
failed). See Simplified diagram and general electrical explanation on page 6.
Description Prints a plot to diagnose certain print quality issues. The plot is a simple area fill for all the printheads so possible
problems can be easily identified.
Description Prints a plot to check the scan-axis encoder strip. It should be executed mainly after changing the encoder strip or the
scan-axis encoder in the carriage. See Scan-axis encoder strip check on page 465.
Description This test checks the e-box electronics needed for the processing of printing data and the transfer of the data to the
printheads through the fiber-optic cable. It will verify that the e-box Fiber Optics PCA is properly connected to the
corresponding Engine PCAs. Note: This diagnostic does not check the fiber-optic connection between the e-box Fiber
Optics PCA and the Carriage Fiber Optics PCA. In orden to verify this is working run the diagnostic 11002.
Test steps:
● Formatter test
– It checks that all the cables going from the engine board to the e-box fiber-optics PCA are not only
connected but also plugged into the correct connectors.
– It checks that the fiber-optic connector is plugged in, reads the internal registers in the fiber-optics module,
and verifies the data is reaching the fiber-optics module.
In summary, this test checks the formatter, the engine boards, the cables between the engine boards and the e-box
fiber-optics PCA, the e-box fiber-optics PCA, and the e-box fiber-optics transceiver. Regarding the e-box fiber-optics
PCA, it checks everything except the high-speed lane coming from the carriage.
Pass criteria All electronics before the fiber-optic connection work well.
Fail criteria There is a failure in the processing of the data needed for printing. This failure is located before the fiber optics.
NOTE: This test does not check the connection between the e-box fiber-optics PCA and the Engine PCAs. If this test
fails, first run the diagnostic 11001 to verify that the problem is not before the fiber-optics communication.
Test steps:
● If the above check fails, then the test requires user interventation in order to check the status of some LEDs in the
e-box and in the carriage.
– E-box:
– Carriage:
○ If LED1 in the Carriage is ON and LED1 in the e-box is OFF, then the fiber-optics needs to be changed.
Fail criteria There is no communication through the fiber-optic cable. This can occur when the fiber-optic cable is damaged, broken,
or not connected.
Description This test checks the link to the fiber-optics PCA in the carriage and its connections to the printhead interconnect boards.
Success means that the optical fiber link is up and running and each connector in the fiber-optics PCA has a properly
inserted cable connector.
Test steps:
– It checks that all the cables going from the carriage fiber-optics PCA to the printhead board are plugged in.
– If it fails, then the user needs to run a test and check the status of one LED.
If the printhead boards are not connected to the correct carriage fiber-optics PCA interface, the user will notice printing
errors. In that case, the user needs to check that all the cables going from the carriage fiber-optics PCA to the printhead
board are plugged into the correct interface.
Fail criteria There is no correct connection between the carriage fiber-optics PCA and the printhead interconnect boards. This could
be due to:
● A disconnected cable
● A disconnected printhead
Description This test checks the data lines from the fiber-optics PCA to the printhead interconnect board. If these data lines are OK,
the green LED on the printhead interconnect board is turned on.
Pass criteria The data lines reach the printhead interconnect board correctly from the fiber-optics PCA. This test lights up the DS1
and DS15 LEDs of the printhead interconnect PCA. If one of them is not lit, replace the printhead interconnect PCA
and/or the cable to the fiber-optics PCA.
Fail criteria The data lines going from the fiber-optics PCA to the printhead interconnect board do not transmit the data properly.
This test lights up the DS1 and DS15 LEDs of the printhead interconnect PCA. If one of them is not lit, replace the
printhead interconnect PCA and/or the cable to the fiber-optics PCA.
Description This test checks the versions of the fiber-optics PCAs in case you have a hardware or firmware mismatch.
Pass criteria This test is purely informative and has no pass or fail criteria.
Fail criteria This test is purely informative and has no pass or fail criteria.
Description This test displays the electrical state of the printheads. It should be executed when the printer is idle.
● #Fails continuity: Electrical continuity failure. Communication between printhead and interconnect board is not
working properly. Clean the printhead and the board electrical pads and re-insert the printhead. If the problem
persists, swap the printhead with one of the same color in the adjacent slot. If the error moves with the printhead,
replace the printhead. If the error persists in the same slot, there may be a physical problem in the
interconnection. Make sure that the black metal back support of the printhead interconnect board is correctly
mounted and screws are tight, and call your support representative if the problem persists in the same slot.
● #Voltage failure: This error may have been caused by a short-circuit in the printhead electrical pad or the
printhead board. Remove the printhead and inspect the electrical pads, making sure they are clean and nothing is
creating a short-circuit. Also, inspect the printhead board electrical contacts and make sure they are not bent or
damaged. You can swap the printhead with another one of the same color. If the problem persists in the same slot,
call your support representative, as the printhead board may have to be replaced. If the error follows the
printhead, replace the printhead.
● #CSDATA not responding: The printhead is not responding to communication attempts from the printhead
interconnect board. The printhead may not be correctly inserted, or the electrical pads may be dirty or damaged.
Clean the printhead electrical pads and the printhead board contacts and re-insert the printhead. Make sure it is
correctly inserted. If the problem persists, swap the printhead with one of the same color in the adjacent slot. If
the error moves with the printhead, replace the printhead. If the error persists in the same slot, there may be an
electrical problem. To discard a transient electrical perturbation, shut down the printer, restart it a minute later,
and do a printhead replacement again. If the same problem occurs, the printhead interconnect board may be
faulty. Contact your support representative.
● #Temperature extremely high: The printhead temperature is extremely high. Make sure the printing operating
conditions are OK, and reseat the printhead. A likely cause of this error is that printhead nozzles are blocked and
ink cannot be fired. Try recovering the printheads by manual cleaning or by hard cleaning through the Internal
Print Server. If the error does not disappear, replace the printhead.
● #Temperature too high: The printhead temperature is too high. Make sure the printing operating conditions are
OK, and reseat the printhead. A likely cause of this error is that printhead nozzles are blocked and ink cannot be
fired. Try recovering the printheads by hard cleaning through the Internal Print Server. If the error does not
disappear, replace the printhead.
● #Temperature extremely low: The printhead temperature is extremely low. The operating temperature could not
be reached. The most likely cause is printhead damage in its resistors due to a substrate crash. Replace the
printhead.
● #Temperature too low: The printhead temperature is too low. The operating temperature could not be reached.
The most likely cause is printhead damage in its resistors due to a substrate crash or smear. Replace the
printhead.
● #Bad acumen information: The information encoded in the printhead is incorrect. If it is a genuine HP printhead,
return it to HP.
● #Bad acumen access: The printhead’s internal data cannot be accessed. The printhead may not be correctly
inserted, or the electrical pads may be dirty or damaged. Clean the printhead electrical pads and the printhead
board contacts, and retry the printhead replacement process. If the problem persists, try another printhead of the
same color. If the problem still persists in the same slot, there may be an interconnection problem. Make sure that
the black metal back support of the printhead interconnect board is correctly mounted and screws are tight.
● #Wrong model: The printhead is not the correct model to be used in this printer.
● #Mismatch: Wrong printhead internal data. The printhead is not the correct model to be used in this printer.
● #Energy calibration failure: This can be either a printhead problem or a printhead interconnect PCA problem.
Remove the printhead and retry the printhead insertion process. If the problem persists, replace the printhead. If
the problem still persists, the printhead interconnect board may need to be replaced. Contact your support
representative.
Test steps:
– It checks that all the cables going from the Slinky board to the printhead board are plugged in.
– If it fails, then the user needs to run the Trailing Cable Connectivity test and check the status of LED DS15.
– It checks that the printhead is well connected in the printhead pocket. If it fails, then the user needs to run a
test and check the status of LED DS7.
If the printhead boards are not connected to the right Slinky interface, the user will notice printing errors. In that case,
the user needs to check that all the cables going from the Slinky board to the printhead board are plugged into the
correct interface.
Pass criteria The printhead is correctly inserted into the printhead pocket.
Fail criteria The printhead is not correctly inserted into the printhead pocket.
Description This test is used to test the fiber-optics cable. It recursively reads the communication signals of the fiber-optics cable.
Pass criteria All the signal readings of the fiber-optics cable have been successful.
Fail criteria Some of the readings have not been received correctly. In this case, there might be a communication problem from the
E-box to the Carriage. If the problem persists, install a new Fiber-Optics cable.
Description This test allows you to check that the following sensors are working properly: spindle latches (loading table latches).
Pass criteria If all of them work properly (check that they open and close), you can see changes in screen status.
Fail criteria Check the connections and replace those don’t work.
Description This test checks motor movement through PWM and reading encoders. This test can be done with substrate loaded.
Very small movements are made, which can be felt by touching the corresponding spindle with a finger.
● Substrate advance motor failure: Run the Main roller motor test (41003). See below.
NOTE: While running the Motors calibration, the motor must be unmounted.
If the failure comes from the motor (and not from the mechanism), run the following tests:
● Check the power supplies, running the Power supplies test (10004). See Table 5-22 E-cabinet on page 586.
● Check e-cabinet to e-box communication, running the Check e-cabinet e-box communication test (10006). See

Description This test checks how the roller moves, and its friction.
Description This test makes a series of movements to ensure that substrate movement accuracy is OK, and performs a statistical
analysis; so it takes some time to complete. The following motors can be tested: MI and MO.
Description This test calibrates the analog encoder, which calibrates the whole gain chain to obtain an optimized reading of the
encoder disc by the encoder reader PCA.
Pass criteria The test itself provides feedback about whether calibration was successful or not.
Description This test calibrates substrate advance, slope, and roller eccentricity.
Pass criteria When the calibration is successful, feedback is provided by the test.

width, such as Avery MPI3000 and HP Permanent Gloss Self-Adhesive, or papers such as HP Photorealistic. Do not use
any backlit, PP, PE/PET, or PVC substrates. Before proceeding, make sure that the substrate is correctly loaded and
aligned. The calibration takes about 25 minutes and the substrate will be advanced about 8 meters. Check that there is
enough substrate on the input roll before proceeding. Press Continue to proceed or Cancel to exit.
Description This test checks substrate path lights installed in the printer (Print-zone top light). During the process, the printer allows
the user to switch the light on and off.
Pass criteria If the light is able to switch on/off correctly and the feedback shown on the screen is also correct, the print-zone top
light LED bar is working properly.

Fail criteria The printer is not able to communicate with the SOL Solenoid Motor Drive PCA or the Roll-to-free-fall Kit is not installed
in the printer.
Pass criteria If all the sensors work properly (check that they open and close), you can see changes in screen status. The substrate
collector sensor should register as closed if the sensor is blocked by something opaque, otherwise open.
Fail criteria Check the connections and replace those not working. The test could also fail because the Roll-to-free-fall Kit is not
installed in the printer.
Description This test checks motor movement through PWM and reading encoders. This test can be done with substrate loaded.
Very small movements are made, which can be felt by touching the corresponding spindle with a finger.
NOTE: During the kit installation, the MO motor needs to be disconnected. To ensure that it is working, this test also
includes the MO motor check.
Pass criteria The test is able to read movement. This means that the motor and encoder are working properly.
Fail criteria The movement is not detected. The test could also fail because the Roll-to-free-fall Kit is not installed in the printer.
● Run diagnostic 41014 Motor calibration to calibrate the Media Floor motor (Roll-to-free-fall motor)
NOTE: While running the Motor calibration, the motor must be unmounted.

on page 585.
Description This test is used to calibrate the Media Floor motor (Roll-to-free-fall motor). It makes a series of movements to ensure
that substrate movement accuracy is OK, and performs a statistical analysis (it takes some time to complete). The
printer can also be started in diagnostic mode and run this test with the motor detached, in case you are not sure
whether the problem comes from motor or gearbox. This test takes about 8 minutes.
Fail criteria The test will inform about any error found.
NOTE: This diagnostic will waste some ink and some Printhead cleaning roll cloth.
Pass criteria The diagnostic finishes correctly and no system errors appear in the IPS while executing the test.
Fail criteria During the test, some system error has appeared in the IPS. Some system errors that might appear are:
To solve the issue, follow the troubleshooting in the related system error.
Description This test enables the substrate-advance sensor for diagnostic purposes. The purpose of this utility is to enable or
disable the substrate-advance sensor, to be able to measure and troubleshoot the influence of the sensor on print-
quality problems. Sometimes, disabling the sensor is recommended for best print quality.
NOTE: It is possible to disable or enable the OMAS from the Internal Print Server, using the Printing adjustment
command or the Printing Adj. button.
Pass criteria None, it just tells you whether the action was done or not.

Pass criteria None, it just tells you whether the action was done or not.
Description This test checks whether the substrate-advance sensor optics are clean or not. If not, clean the sensor window.
Description This test enables the subtrate-advance sensor for diagnostic purposes. The calibration prints interference patterns that
should be visually inspected.
● Before calibrating the sensor, use the cleanliness check and clean it if necessary.
● If the printer has been printing, allow it to cool down for at least an hour before running this calibration.
● Not all substrate types are suitable for this calibration. Preferably use self-adhesive vinyls of around 78 in width,
such as Avery MPI3000 and HP Permanent Gloss Self-Adhesive, or papers like HP Photorealistic. Do not use any
backlit, PP, PE/PET, or PVC substrates. Ensure that the substrate is correctly loaded and aligned, and that you
have at least 5 meters of substrate available for the calibration.
Follow the instructions on the screen. The calibration takes about 30 minutes.

value in case sensor calibration (50004) is not working properly.
Pass criteria The test shows correctly the stored value for PixelSizeOffset.
Fail criteria The test is not able to show the stored value for PixelSizeOffset.
Description This test allows user to manually calibrate the substrate-advance sensor. The purpose of this diagnostic is the same as
Sensor calibration (50004) but in this test user can directly modify the parameter PixelSizeOffset, while with sensor
calibration the printer uses a plot to calibrate the value.
Note: this is a temporary diagnostic that may disappear in the future. It is designed to be able to write the parameter
value in case sensor calibration (50004) is not working properly.
NOTE: This is a temporary diagnostic that may disappear in the future. It is designed to be able to write the parameter

Instructions Run this calibration only after replacing the substrate-advance sensor.
Fail criteria The value PixelSizeOffset is not correctly stored in the Nvm.
Description Use this test to verify the recommended Advance compensation configuration for the loaded media.
NOTE: This test can also be used as a troubleshooting step for the OMAS sensor:
1. Load a well known navigable media, like a self-adhesive vinyl such as Avery MPI3000 or HP Permanent Gloss Self-
Adhesive, or paper like HP Photorealistic.
2. Run test 50008; If it returns "automatic advance compensation," the sensor works properly. If it returns "manual
advance compensation," the current OMAS sensor could be defective.

Description This test checks whether the platen vacuum system is working as expected. It checks that the pressure without vacuum
and with maximum vacuum is within the expected range. Make sure there is no substrate loaded or covering the platen
during this test, otherwise its result will not be reliable.
Fail criteria 1. If the test fails, check that the vacuum pump is powered and spinning.
3. Reset calibration.
Description This test simply resets the vacuum pump life counter. It should be used only when the vacuum pump is replaced.
This test should be executed only when the vacuum pump is replaced.
Description This test restores a default factory calibration, in case calibration has failed or the calibration is missing.
Description This test can be used to check the scan-axis encoder. User will be able to manually move the carriage while the encoder
reading (in encoder units) is shown in the screen. Test will ask user to open the window to safely access the carriage.
After that, the encoder units show in the screen. This test should be used when experiencing problems with the scan-
axis: carriage not moving or repeated scan-axis motor shutdowns in a certain part of the scan-axis. In this case, the
carriage can be moved to the area where the failures are detected to determine if the problem is related to the encoder
readings or to the motor.
Pass criteria Encoder readings change with the movement of the carriage. This ensures that the encoder signal is being read by the
printer.
NOTE: It is not checking if the encoder measures are correct, to do that perform diagnostic 86002 Scan-axis analysis.
Fail criteria The encoder readings are not changing when user manually moves the carriage. In this case, the printer is not receiving
the encoder signal. Check that the encoder cable connected to J7 in PH Interconnect 1 (OPT) is not damaged and
correctly connected. If problem persists, install a new Optical Encoder (K4T88-67014).
Description This test performs a series of movements at different speeds and saves values in a log file. It also returns the measured
scan-axis length. Use the data extraction procedure to save the data from the printer.
Pass criteria All the movements included in the test are finished and the data saved. If the measured scan-axis length does not
match the recorded value, the test passes; however, it displays a warning about the discrepancy.
Fail criteria At least one of the movements is not completed. It also fails if the scan-axis length is out of the expected range.
Description This test uncaps the carriage and moves it to the service position. After that, the printer is shut down and you are asked
to turn off the main switch to work within a safe mode.
The test helps you to move the carriage to the service position and shut down the printer automatically. Remember
that if this operation will take a long time, you are recommended to remove the printheads and put them in the orange
caps.
Pass criteria The carriage completes the movement to the service position with no issues.
Fail criteria The test fails if the printer cannot move the carriage to the service position, perhaps because of a substrate jam.
Description This test is intended to check scan-beam electronic checks (PCAs, output voltages and fuses). In the test, the PSU 4
voltage (PSU that powers the PPS motors and PCAs) is shown with its range of accepted values and the scan-beam fuse
in the e-cabinet is also checked. Finally, communication with the 2 Motor Drive PCAs is checked and the result shown on
screen.
Pass criteria No error appears during the test, this ensures that the electronics of the scan beam are working correctly: the PSU
provides the correct voltage, the scan beam fuse is OK, and there is communication with both motor drive PCAs. For a
complete functional check that also ensures that the Motor Drive PCAs, the motors and encoders are working properly,
run subsystem test 48002.
Fail criteria If any of the test steps fail, the result is shown on screen.
After checking the electronics (as in test 48001), this test follows these steps:
1. Scan-beam moves to PRINTING position (carriage will move to capping position for safety reasons).
2. Scan-beam motors make an ENGAGE movement if needed (only if for some reason they are disengaged).
During steps 3 to 5 the test shows the PWM consumed during the movement (Min, Average, Max) and informs the user
if vibrations/EE noise were found. If any error is found during the execution (shutdown, homing flag not found,
misalignment or engage timeout) the test reports it and in some cases tries to better diagnose the issue.
Pass criteria All the movements are completed correctly. In this case, the scan-beam seems to be working correctly. If there are still
some issues, it might be an intermittent issue and you could execute the test 48003 to move the scan-beam to the
position where the issue appears and reproduce the error several times.
Fail criteria One or more of the movements have failed. The test reports the failure and possible corrective actions.
Description This test allows users to move the scan-beam to any defined position in closed loop: PRINTING POSITION, SUBSTRATE
LOADING position or CUSTOM PRINTING POSITION (user can set a custom position between 2.4 and 20 mm). The test
can be useful to attempt reproduction of certain printer issues, for example, if a user is experiencing intermittent
MISALIGNMENT errors only when going to PRINTING POSITION, the service engineer can try to reproduce the error
several times. If any error is detected during the movement, the issue will be notified. The motor moves to the selected
position without problems.
Pass criteria The motor moves to the selected position without problems.
48004 allows users to move each of the two scan-beam motors separately in open loop during 2s. Encoder units (1
encoder unit equals approximately 0,05mm) are displayed on screen as information, but they are not used to compute
the PWM signal of the motor.
WARNING! This test should be executed by service engineers only, misuse could lead to printer mechanical failure.
Misalignment between the 2 motors should always be under 1000 encoder units (5cm). The test does not limit
misalignment that can be introduced (so the test can be executed even if the encoders are not working properly), but
the service engineer must ensure that the actual mechanical misalignment between the two sides of the scan-beam is
under the 5cm limit.
WARNING! When you finish the test, ensure that the scan-beam is in a safe position (with misalignment under 100
encoder units) and move the scan-beam to MEDIA_LOAD position with the IPS before you continue using the printer.
WARNING! Each time the button that moves each of the motors is pressed, the selected motor will add 2 seconds of
movement. It is recommended to wait for the movement to finish (wait 2s) before pressing the move button again
because if you press the button several times quickly control of the system may be lost.
Description IDS Electronic Test Procedure. This test is intended to check IDS electronic checks (PCAs, output voltages and fuses). It
tests the PSUs related to the IDS and communication with the IDS Air PCA and IDS Ink PCA. It also checks the electrical
presence of all the connected elements in the IDS along other internal checks for the PCAs.
NOTE: This diagnostic should not be executed several times in a row since it powers the ink pumps for a small amount
of time in order to check that they are working properly. Thus, executing too much could lead to a intermediate tank
leakage.
Pass criteria The PSU outputs related to the IDS are working properly, and there is communication with the IDS Air PCA and IDS Ink
PCA. All the elements connected to the IDS PCAs are properly connected.
Description This test sets Air Pressure System to the normal printing air pressure level (around 4750 mpsi) for a certain period of
time. This test is useful to check that APS system is working (air pump, air relief valve, and air pressure sensor). It can
also help to detect air leakage.
Main steps:
1. To reach the right pressure value, the printer will turn on both air pumps (it will work in ‘open’ loop for 45 seconds
before raising an error in case it cannot reach the right air pressure).
2. Once it has reached the right pressure, the air pump stops. If the pressure decreases too much, one of the two air
pumps is turned on to regain the right pressure value, and then this pump is turned off. The next time the
pressure decreases too much, the other air pump is turned on.
3. At the end of the test (user can select the time to maintain the system pressurized, a recommended value is 10
minutes), the test APS is depressurized. It is important to wait the end of depressurization before going ahead.
Pass criteria The air pressure system is able to reach a pressure near to 4750 psi (range 4500-5000) and to maintain it during 10
minutes, and then printer is able to depressurize completely. In this case, all the elements in the Air Pressure System
are working properly and there is no leakage.
Fail criteria There are several points where the test can fail:
1. The APS is not able to pressurize in the first 45s to 4500-5000 mpsi -> If the pressure has started increasing but
has not been able to reach the target level, there is probably a leakage or an issue with an air pump. Check that all
air tubes are correctly connected and that there is no leakage. If the pressure is not increasing at all and there is
no leakage, check the cables powering the Air Pumps and the relief valve.
2. The APS is able to pressurize to the target level but it is not able to maintain it during the selected time. In this
case probably one air pump is not working.
3. The APS is not able to depressurize the system after the selected time. In this case there is probably an issue with
the relief valve.
Description Ink supply LEDs test. This test lets you select one supply LED. The selected supply LEDs will start blinking sequentially
(each LED will blink for a small amount of time, then it will remain off while the test continues with the other LEDs of the
supply) then the 3 LEDs of the supply will blink at the same time. The user can also select to test all supplies LEDs, then
the sequence explained before will be repeated for all supplies (this option might take a few minutes, but allows the
user to check all LEDs without going back to the IPS to select the next supply).
Pass criteria LEDs for selected line turn on and off in the described sequence. Each LED blinks in its turn and the 3 LEDs blink
together at the end.
Fail criteria Any of the LEDs for selected lines is not able to turn on or it is on when it should not be (for example, if red LED is on
while it is the turn for white LED to blink). In this case, check the other LEDs for the supplies connected to the same
cable. If they are also experiencing problems, check the connection with the IDS Air PCA. If they are working well, check
the connection with the LED PCA for the affected supply and change it if necessary
Description This procedure displays the number of life cycles (full refill) of the intermediate tanks and also the % of ink for each
intermediate tank.
Description This test displays the ink level of each supply and allows the user to verify if the ink supplies connector is correctly
detecting the supply. In order to do this, the test asks to select an ink cartridge and then to disconnect and reconnect its
connector. This test should be used when experiencing issues with the ink cartridges detection in order to reproduce the
issue or verify that the system works properly.
Pass criteria The test detects the correct disconnection and connection with the ink cartridge.
Fail criteria The test is not able to detect the correct connection with the ink cartridge.
Description You can select which valve to test (actually, the user selects a pair of electrovalves to test, since the control signal is
common for each pair of electrovalves, they can not be controlled independently), and the amount of time before the
test begins. When the test begins the selected valves will be opened and closed several times. The user can access to
the electrovalves and verify that the state is changing. It might be difficult to determine if one of the two valves that are
changing its state at the same time is not working (because of the noise produced by the other one). If you want to
determine if a certain valve is working, it is recommended to disconnect the other one in the pair to be able to hear it
correctly. An example of a use case could be: The K valve may be failing, and the service engineer wants to use
diagnostic 22010 to determine if it is working. Since the K and the C valves are controlled with the same cable, they will
be activated and deactivated at the same time. The service engineer disconnects the C valve intermediate connector
and executes the test selecting to test C and K valves. If the engineer is able to hear the noise, then the K valve is
working properly. If he does not hear any noise, the K valve is not changing its state properly. In order to further
diagnose the issue, the service engineer could connect the intermediate connector of the K valve to the C electrovalve
and execute the test again (and remember to reconnect the intermediate connector to the correct electrovalve when
the troubleshooting has finished). If he is able to hear the noise in this case (coming from the C electrovalve), the
problem with the K valve is confirmed and a new one should be installed. If the C valve is not changing status, the
problem could be with the cable from the IDS Air PCA to the K C electrovalves.
Pass criteria The valves are opening and closing, and user can feel it by touching them.
Fail criteria The user can't hear that the valves are opening and closing.
Description Recover from a broken bag in an intermediate tank. The test checks (by reading the sensor) whether there is really a
broken bag in the intermediate tanks. If not, it clears this error on NVM. So, If there is a real broken bag, you have to
clean the contacts and ink from the air tube, then install a brand new and empty IT and later on run this test again.
NOTE: This test does not refill the empty Intermediate Tank. In order to do this, after running this test, run the
diagnostic 22018 Intermediate tanks replacement or follow the PrintCare Wizard Replace Intermediate Tank.
Description Recover from ink system leakage. The test checks (by reading the sensor) whether there is really a system ink leakage.
If not, it clears this error on NVM.
Pass criteria If you have an ink leakage, fix it and clean the sensor, then run this test until no leakage is detected. If a false positive is
given, replace the sensor.
Description This diagnostic covers the process of replacing an individual or all Intermediate Tanks. This should be used mainly in
three cases (the PrintCare wizard "Replace an Intermediate Tank" can also be used to follow a complete guided process.
In fact, if you are logged in as Operator, going through the wizard is the only way to access this diagnostic):
b. When the Intermediate Tanks have reached its end of life and they should be replaced
● The new Intermediate Tanks must be empty, otherwise the printer might get damaged.
● The cartridges that will be used to fill the replaced Intermediate Tanks must contain at least 2L of ink.
2. User should introduce the ink cartridges (only the ones corresponding to replaced Intermediate Tanks should be
connected. The ink cartridges corresponding to non-replaced intermediate tanks should be disconnected).
Remember that the used ink cartridges should contain at least 2L.
NOTE: Ensure to start the process of refilling by pressing "Continue" just after the new empty Intermediate Tanks
are installed. The refill may not work properly if there is a time delay between the insertion of the Intermediate
Tanks and the start of the refill process.
3. User should replace the selected Intermediate tanks with new empty Intermediate tanks.
4. The printer will then refill the replaced Intermediate tank. This process could take up to 1 hour, depending on the
number of Intermediate Tanks replaced.
Fail criteria The refill of the intermediate tanks has not been correctly completed. Printer will inform on the issue found.
Pass criteria The Print Care screen reports whether the change of values was successful.
Fail criteria The value introduced in the diagnostic is not correct. Restart the diagnostic ensuring you introduce the code correctly.
Description Ink pressure sensor at printhead. This test applies ink pressure and guides the user to insert a syringe on the printhead
position. The ink must refill the syringe to an estimated value according to the pressure applied.
Fail criteria The volume of ink in the syringe is not the expected one.
Description This test allows a refill of a selected intermediate tank with ink level monitoring.
This test should not be used at every refill, only in certain situations: when there is a problem in the PIP sensors causing
the automatic refill to fail, in case the Intermediate tanks must be transported (in this way, the risk of a broken bag is
reduced), etc.
Fail criteria The fans do not spin at the expected PWM. In this case, please install new fans.
Description This test checks correct internal operation and communication with the line sensor located in the sensor box of the
printer. The printer enables the red LED with different current levels and performs a couple of reads to check internal
operation.
Pass criteria The readings obtained by the red LED are higher than a functional threshold.
Fail criteria The readings obtained by the red LED are lower than a functional threshold.
Description This test deletes usage counters for line sensor, number of cycles, and working hours.
NOTE: This test should be run only when a line sensor is replaced.
Description The line sensor calibration should be performed mainly after replacing a line sensor or a sensor box. It is done in two
steps:
1. Calibration of the sensor, by measuring the white of a substrate and a dark area. During this first part, you can see
that the printer places the line sensor at the top of the substrate, taking measurements (measuring the white
area), and then it places the sensor at the top of the printhead cleaning roller, performing other measurements
(measuring a dark area). A white substrate must be loaded: the substrate cannot contain color, not even light gray.
2. Calibration of the position of the line sensor versus the black printhead. During this second step, the printer will
print 21 small squares, and will scan them back.
To perform the calibration correctly, load the substrate towards the right of the printer: the edge of the substrate
should be positioned within 4 cm (2 in) of the right-hand side.
TIP: Check that the black printhead is in very good condition, most importantly the first die of the black printhead.
TIP: Check that the black printhead is in very good condition, most importantly the first die of the black printhead.
Pass criteria The printer has been able to print the calibration plot, which checks the black calibration.
Fail criteria The printer has been unable to print the calibration plot.
Description This test performs a self-calibration of the spectrophotometer. The shutter is opened, and then a measurement in a
dark zone of the printer is taken. Finally, the internal white calibration tile is measured.
● If two readings are similar it could be that the shutter remains open/closed all the time, so repeat the test,
observing whether light from the sensor is visible all the time
● If the dark zone measurement fails, it could be that there is a piece of substrate over the calibration position.
● If the white calibration fails, maybe the sensor is dirty and needs to be replaced.
Description This test checks the opening and closing of the spectrophotometer shutter, and helps you to troubleshoot its failure,
with access to the spectrophotometer and to its shutter.
WARNING! Do not look directly at the spectrophotometer light: the light is powerful and could harm your eyes.
It performs a fake drop detection operation (without dropping ink, but moving the system like in a real drop detection).
The test can be used to ensure that the DD station sensor is working properly and that there is no electrical noise in the
system or its surroundings that could affect the actual readings.
NOTE: In order to perform a functional test for the DD, you can use diagnostic Force drop detection (52005).
Fail criteria If the test fails, there might exist electrical noise in the system perturbing the DD readings. Check that there is no other
equipment (e.g. a motor) near the DD. Also review the connection of the DD sensor.
Pass criteria If the test passes, the DD sensors and the communication with them seems to be working properly.
Description This test checks the DD bump sensor and reads the linear encoder
Description This test shows the current drop-detector calibration values and allows the user to recalibrate it if needed. It should be
performed when experiencing issues with the DD or when any part of the system is changed.
The diagnostic calibrates the Y position of the drop-detector shuttle, for the printer to perform the drop detection and
capping procedures appropriately with respect to the carriage. It also calibrates the backlash and elasticity of the drop-
detector station.
Fail criteria The test fails if the new calibration values are not acceptable or if the Drop-detector Station could not complete the
calibration movements.
If it fails, perform a visual inspection of the system and ensure it is capable to move.
Description The drop-detetector station can't be moved manually. This diagnostic can be used to move the drop-detector station to
its service position (near the door under the IPS). This diagnostic can be used in order to have a better access to the
elements in the drop detector station, in order to clean the drop-detector sensors or even to change some parts.
The test is also useful to verify that the station is able to do a complete movement along its path.
Pass criteria The drop-detector station is able to finish the movement to its service-position and back to homing. In this case, the
mechanical system is working properly.
Fail criteria The drop-detector station is not able to finish the movement. There might be a jam, a problem with the motor or with
the transmission.
NOTE: This test shows the number of nozzles that were not detected during the drop-detection executed on the
diagnostic. This will not coincide with the number of nozzles out stored in the nozzle health database, since the values
stored in the database record the number of nozzles that have consistently been out for an amount of drop-detection
tries (this is, a nozzle is counted as "out" in the database when it is not detected several times in a row).
Thus, take in mind that the values shown in 52005 represent a single measure while the values stored in the nozzle
health database are more representative of the nozzle status. To check the nozzle health database execute diagnostic
52010 Display printing nozzle health database content.
Description This test displays the current content of the printing nozzle health database. This database records the number of
nozzles that have consistently been dead for an amount of drop-detector tries (this is, a nozzle is counted as "dead" in
the database when it is not detected several times in a row during different drop-detections).
Description This test resets the content of the printing nozzle health database.
Description This test is similar to the previous one, but makes a movement large enough to be seen by a human observer. If the
previous test is passed, but you are unable to see movement in this one, perhaps there is a jam, or friction is too high,
and the motor is unable to move the axis.
3. Move the axis manually. For the Advance (MA), you need to open the latch (pull out and rotate the black knob), and
try to rotate the axis. It will only rotate a very little, but enough for the test/motor to detect the movement.
Pass criteria Delta in encoder counts reported, showing that the closed-loop feedback works.
Description This test moves the selected cleaning roll axis, making a very small movement that you may not notice.
The test initializes correctly, it operates in open loop and will always report OK.
Recommended sequence is: Engage motor (Z), Source roll (MI), Advance (MA), and Output roll (MO). You need to place a
finger on the printhead cleaning roller blade for the engage motor (Z), on the axis of the input roll for the source roll
(MI), on the motor of the substrate advance motor for the advance (MA), and on the axis of the output roll for the output
roll (MO).
Description This test performs actions to show you the Z axis calibration. To execute the full process, see Height and tilt check and
calibration test on page 1132.
NOTE: If some other tests have been run (manual motor movement, visual motor movement, or motor direction test)
before running this calibration, you may need to restart the printer. Otherwise, the printer may fail to raise the printhead
cleaning roller blade.
Description Execute this test in order to set or change the current calibration, if needed after running the printhead cleaning Z
calibration check. See Height and tilt check and calibration test on page 1132.
Description This test displays the internal temperatures of the curing modules. This test is useful to see internal chamber curing
module temperatures and check whether they are uniform. Also consider that modules without substrate under them
are not powered.
Also with this test you can apply power to heaters and fans (only the ones with substrate under them, reproducing
printing conditions).
This test has enabled all software monitors, so you can reproduce and isolate system errors reported by the customer
for troubleshooting purposes. Recommended to be executed when the customer reports curing problems, then you can
check whether all modules have the same behavior.

● Temperature: Will increase gradually. After 5 minutes should be around 65°C ±10°C.
Description This test checks that there is an engine PCA attached to each slot of the PCI express. In the formatter PCA there are five
PCI express slots. Slots 1 to 4 must be attached to one engine PCA each, and slot 5 must be free. Any configuration
other than this is wrong.
Pass/fail criteria If the slots corresponding to PCAs 1 to 4 reply properly and slot #5 does not reply, the test result is PASS. Otherwise the
test result is FAIL.
Possible causes ● At least one of the engine PCAs is missing or assembled in slot 5.
for test failure
● The contacts of the PCI express bus in any slot are dirty (formatter or engine PCA).
Description This test checks that each of the engine PCAs is properly connected to its corresponding engine adaptor PCA. The
engine PCA tries to communicate with the microcontroller of the engine adaptor PCA.
Pass/fail criteria If there is a problem with the communication (missing reply, unexpected reply) between any engine PCA and its
corresponding engine adaptor PCA, the test result is FAIL.
Possible causes ● The flat cable between engine PCA and engine adaptor PCA is missing.
for test failure
● Flat cables are wrongly connected (PCA mismatch).
Description This test checks whether the rotation signal of the fan is detected.
Description This test starts up all the DC power supplies, measures their output voltages, and reads their status signals (if
available).
During this test the firmware asks the user to press the rearm button.
Pass criteria All the power supplies output voltages are inside their ranges and no alarm signal is detected.
Fail criteria One or more PSUs are not supplying the adequate voltage or an alarm signal is detected.
● PSU protection activated (be sure to leave some time for the PSU to cool down and do an OFF/ON cycle with the
main switch before repeating)
Description This test shows the state of all the analog and digital sensors on the e-cabinet PCA (voltages, currents, temperature,
switch states, and so on).
Description This test checks whether there is communication between the e-box and the e-cabinet PCA.
Fail criteria The e-cabinet PCA does not respond to a communication command
● E-box malfunction
Description This test activates the DC PSUs and the selected outputs of the e-cabinet PCA.
During this test the firmware asks the user to press the rearm button.
● The system powered by the failing output has a problem; check that system for short-circuits
Description This test checks that the watchdog timer on the e-cabinet PCA works.
Description This test activates the DC PSUs and the activates all the outputs of the e-cabinet PCA. It also tests the state of the
fuses.
● The system powered by the failing output has a problem; check that system for short-circuits
● Insufficient ventilation:
Description This test allows to set the input voltage configuration for the printer. Please follow the instructions in the installation
guide to use it.
Description The execution of this test forces the printer to start in normal mode at the next restart.
Description With this diagnostic the printer will execute the purge process. It should be used only when the printer is not purged (for
example, at installation). The purge process consists of a series of automatic steps, mainly: filling the ink tubes up to the
electrovalves, partially refilling the intermediate tanks, filling the ink tubes up to the printheads, and making a complete
refill of the intermediate tanks. User intervention is needed during this test to perform several steps (installing
cartridges, intermediate tanks, purgers, etc.). The diagnostic will guide you along the steps.
Pass criteria The diagnostic finishes without errors, the ink tubes are filled with ink and the intermediate tanks are also refilled. In
this case the TRS and the ISM will be set as purged, and the printer will be ready to print.
Fail criteria There has been some error in the process, causing that the ink tubes are not filled with ink until the printheads or that
the intermediate tanks are not refilled. In this case the printer should inform about the failure, and the ISM and TRS will
remain as NOT purged. In this case the printer won't be ready to print.
Description This test sets the IDS (ISM and TRS) as purged (filled with ink).
This should only be used if the purge process has physically been completed (there is ink in the tubes arriving at the
printhead, and the Intermediate Tanks are already refilled).
NOTE: If the purge process has been completed with the diagnostic IDS Purge (22515) and this test finished correctly,
the IDS will be automatically set as purged. In this case the diagnostic Set printer as purged (22516) is not needed.
Description This test can be used to start the purge process from scratch, in case the diagnostic IDS Purge (22515) has not been
completed correctly.
If during the IDS purge (22515) any issue appears, the process may be stopped. If the user restarts the process by
running diagnostic 22515 again, the test will start from the last step that was correctly completed before. In most cases
this is a useful feature, but it is possible that sometimes it is preferable to start from scratch. In this case, by running the
diagnostic IDS Purge process status reset (22517) the purge will start from the first step the next time diagnostic IDS
Purge 22515 is executed.
Description This test sets the ISM as not purged (empty), so that the next time the printer is powered up it will ask to be filled with
ink. In order for the IDS to be set as not purged, this test and 22604 Set TRS as not purged should be executed.
Description This test sets the TRS as not purged (empty), so that the next time the printer is powered up it will be ask to be filled
with ink. In order for the IDS to be set as not purged, this test and 22603 Set ISM as not purged should be executed.
Description This test moves the carriage to the service position, allowing you to insert the syringes into the ink lines to empty them.
Description This utility changes the actual date and time of the internal electronics system in the printer, this date and time are
different from the data displayed by the IPS PC of the printer. Correct setup of the time and date in the printer is
especially important when saving and tracking the error logs used for escalations. Performing this utility is
recommended when installing the printer in order to align the time with the local time.
Description This utility creates a backup copy of all the NVM values of the printer (including calibration values, part numbers, and so
on) in the tmp directory of the hard drive of the printer (where the printer.log is stored). Only for escalations. Since this
diagnostic is only available in diagnostic mode, you should reboot the printer in normal mode after running the
diagnostic to be able to retrieve the file (the file, inside the tmp folder, is called NVMcontent.tar).
Description This utility recovers a previous copy of all the NVM values of the printer (including calibration values, part numbers, and
so on). Only for escalations.
Description This utility sets the printer to start always in diagnostic mode. This is useful if you intend to perform multiple tests in
diagnostic mode.
Description This utility activates advanced logging for escalations. This advanced logs will be saved in the printer.log file in the tmp
directory of the printer. Select the subsystem where the issues are being experienced to enable its advanced logging,
and repeat the operations which are causing the issues. When the issue is repeated with the advanced logging
activated, the printer.log file contains the additional information needed for escalations. When the printer is restarted
the advanced logging is automatically deactivated.
NOTE: This diagnostic does not create any other new file apart from the printer.log file in the tmp directory. All the new
data activated by this diagnostic is included in the printer.log file.
WARNING! After troubleshooting the printer, remember to reboot it to deactivate the advanced logging. It is not
recommended to have advanced logging active during normal operation, unless it is being used to diagnose an issue as
it may cause the printer to hang.
Description This utility displays a URL that takes you where the Printer.log file is stored. The URL can be copied: select it with the
mouse, and press Ctrl-Insert. To paste it, press Shift-Insert.
Description This utility guides you to change the IP addresses of the computer and printer.
2. Run the utility. If you do not see it in the list of utilities, restart the built-in computer and try again.
3. When the utility starts, you should see the following screen:
4. After a few seconds, the utility asks you to rearm the printer.
5. Select the serial number of the hard disk drive or the EEPROM (ISM board) and press Continue. This is the
most important step as it is required to choose the proper component. Select the component that is not
being replaced.
For example, if the hard disk drive is being replaced, update it with the printer information, which is stored
in the EEPROM; so you should select the EEPROM.
10. Select Printer tools ►Power options ►Restart to restart the printer.
Description This maintenance script moves the carriage along the scan axis, reading and displaying friction values and limit
thresholds. It recommends a cleaning process if needed.
This group of diagnostics is designed to be executed either by operators or service engineers, with the goal of diagnosing the system in
case there a some problem.
NOTE: Diagnostics 90001, 90002, 90003 and 90004 will FAIL if the Double-sided Day and Night Kit is not properly installed (using
diagnostics 90011 to 90016).
Description This test is intended to check Double-sided Day and Night electronics. In the test, the printer checks if the kit is set as
installed in the NVM, then, the communication with the Motor Drive PCA is checked and the result is shown on screen.
NOTE: This test does not check the Double-sided Day and Night Kit E-cabinet.
Fail criteria The printer is not able to communicate with the Double-sided Day and Night Kit Motor Drive PCA or the Double-sided
Day and Night Kit is not installed in the printer.
If the printer is not able to communicate with the Double-sided Day and Night kit, follow the troubleshooting until the
problem is solved:
1. Check the power cable going from the Double-sided Day and Night E-cabinet to the Motor drive PCA (24V).
2. Check the buttons cable and connector (J4 in Motor drive PCA). Address should be correctly configured.
Description This test is intended to check Double-sided Day and Night lights. In the test, the printer allows to switch the lights on
and off (for print-zone front light and all output lights) and also to adjust the light intensity (only for print-zone back
light).
Pass criteria If all the lights are able to switch on/off correctly and the feedback shown on the screen is also correct, the LED Bars are
working properly.
1. Check the power and data lines for the affected LED Bar, see Figure 2-14 Printzone + Day and Night LEDs
and Beacon Subsystems on page 88.
2. a. If all the Output lights are failing, review especially its connections with the Double-sided Day and
Night E-cabinet. Check the power cable going from the Double-sided Day and Night E-cabinet to the
output lights (24V). If the output is not working properly (24V not detected), install a new Double-sided
Day and Night E-cabinet. If 24V are present in the output, but output lights are not working, or only
one is not working, install a new LED Bar.
b. If the Print-zone front light is failing and it is correctly connected, install a new LED Bar. If this does not
solve the issue, install a new Motor drive PCA (Illumination and buttons).
c. If the print-zone back light is failing and it is correctly connected, reboot the printer. If the problem
persists, install a new LED Bar. If this does not solve the issue, install a new Motor drive PCA (Double-
sided Day and Night Kit).
b. There are some LEDs not working in a certain LED Bar: Install a new LED Bar.
Description This test is intended to check Double-sided Day and Night button. It should be executed when having problems with the
LED Bars (for example, LED Bars don’t power on. With this test the user can distinguish if the problem comes from the
button or from the LEDs/PSU). In the test the status of the button is shown. The user should press the button and the
status on the screen should change while it is pressed.
NOTE: To ease troubleshooting of LED Bars, the Print-zone LEDs button (installed in the printer by default, not with
the Double-sided Day and Night Kit) is also shown in this diagnostic. To diagnose this button and also the PPS Media
Load button, also access diagnostic 89001 Buttons check in the Illumination and buttons section.
Pass criteria The status on the screen for the buttons changes when pressed, this ensures that there is no problem with the buttons
themselves.
Description This test is to check the scanning system of Double-sided Day and Night. It should be executed when repeatedly having
issues detecting light (90.02.0X:01), reading Double-sided Day and Night Line sensor (90.06.00:01) or reading fiducials.
The diagnostic will scan the system first with the print-zone back light off and then with the print-zone back light on in
order to determine if the measures are correct and if the elements in the system are working properly.
NOTE: For this diagnostic to be able to determine if the lights and the line sensor are working properly, it is necessary
to have the Scan Beam in printing position and no substrate loaded. If there is substrate loaded, a Fail in the diagnostic
could be caused by the media.
NOTE: When this diagnostic is executed, two files will be created in the tmp folder containing the results of the test
(ScanDataCalib_0.txt and ScanDataCalib_20.txt). These files could be required in case of remote support.
Pass criteria The measures with print-zone back light off/on are inside the defined ranges. If this is the case, the print-zone back
lights and the line sensor seem to work properly. In this case, if you have been experiencing issues, they could be
related to the media used.
Fail criteria The measures with print-zone back light off/on are outside the defined ranges. If the measures with print-zone back
light off are outside the range, there is probably an issue with the Double-sided Day and Night Line sensor or its
connections. If the measures with print-zone back light on are outside range, both Double-sided Day Night Line Sensor
and print-zone back lights should be checked.
The following group of diagnostics is designed to be executed only by service engineers in order to install the Double-sided Day Night Kit.
They should be run sequentially, and the kit will be installed only when the last diagnostic (90015 Double-sided Day and Night Install Kit) is
executed. The previous diagnostics (90011 to 90014) are designed to ensure that the system is properly installed and working before
setting the kit as installed.
NOTE: Diagnostics 90011 to 90014 are similar to diagnostics 90001 to 90004. However, 90001 to 90004 check if the Double-sided Day
and Night Kit is installed before starting the test, while 90011 to 90014 don’t make that check. Thus, before setting the Double-sided Day
and Night Kit as installed only diagnostics 90011 to 90015 can be used.
Description See Electronic check (90001). 90011 only differs from 90001 in that it does not check if Double-sided Day and Night Kit
is installed before starting the diagnostic.
Description See Buttons check (90003). 90012 only differs from 90002 in that it does not check if Double-sided Day and Night Kit is
installed before starting the diagnostic.
Description See Lights check (90002). 90013 only differs from 90003 in that it does not check if Double-sided Day and Night Kit is
installed before starting the diagnostic.
Description See Scanning check (90004). 90014 only differs from 90004 in that it does not check if Double-sided Day and Night Kit
is installed before starting the diagnostic.
Fail criteria The printer is not able to set the kit as installed.
Description This diagnostic should be executed after installing Double-sided Day and Night Kit (with diagnostic 90015) in order to
calibrate the system before starting to print Double-sided Day and Night jobs. Follow the instructions in the Installation
guide for DSDN Calibration while running this test
Pass criteria The calibration values are correctly stored in the NVM.
Fail criteria The printer is not able to store the calibration values in the NVM.
This group of diagnostics is designed to be executed either by operators or service engineers in order to change the different calibrations
for the Double-sided Day and Night Kit.
NOTE: Diagnostics 90021 and 90022 will FAIL if the Double-sided Day and Night Kit is not properly installed (using diagnostics 90011 to
90016).
Description See diagnostic 90016. This test has the same functionality than 90016. After the installation of the Kit, offset values
should not be changed unless a constant and repeatable deviation in registration is observed. In this case, it is
recommended to complete an offset calibration as explained in the Installation guide.
NOTE: When this diagnostic is executed, the file DSDN_Calibrations.log in the tmp folder will be updated with the new
introduced values. This can be used to keep traceability of changes in the offsets or in the media edge to fiducial
distance.
Description This diagnostic allows user to change the distance between the media edge and the printed fiducials. It should only be
executed before starting to print side A. It is not recommended to change this value except in very specific conditions
(for example, if a print is almost the same width than the media used and the default media edge to fiducial distance is
too big to be able to print fiducials, this distance could be reduced). The default value for media edge to fiducial distance
is 3cm.
NOTE: Changing this value after side A is already printed might result in issues printing side B (printer will not be able
to detect fiducials).
NOTE: Ensure that the new introduced value for Media Edge to fiducial distance is a valid one before printing side A:
estimate the place where the fiducials will be printed and ensure there will be no interference with media edge holders.
NOTE: When this diagnostic is executed the file DSDN_Calibrations.log in the tmp folder will be updated with the new
introduced values. This can be used to keep traceability of changes in the offsets or in the media edge to fiducial
distance.
Pass criteria The new Media Edge to fiducial distance is correctly stored in the NVM.
Fail criteria The printer is not able to store the new value for Media Edge to fiducial distance.
● In each case, the printer will inform whether the speed readings are correct or not.
Description Check heat exchanger fan arrays for the following conditions:
● Fault signal
Description This test checks the status of the LED units in the printer beacon.
Execution Reset the printer and wait for the status beacon LED units to light up simultaneously during the start-up process.
Fail criteria If one of the LED units does not light up, it might be fused or wrongly assembled to the beacon.
● One or more LED units might not be correctly assembled to the beacon.
● The beacon might not be correctly connected to the USB port in the IPS.
● The USB port in the IPS might not be supplying energy to the beacon.
Ask for a status beacon service kit (K4T88-67262) if some replacement is needed.

7. Remove the four T-10 screws and remove the hard disk drive from its sheet cover.
Installation
2. Reconnect the hard disk data cable to the formatter PCA (SATA 1 connector).
The E-Box hard disk contains most of the printer’s data, including the firmware. However, key data, such as the
product number, serial number, and calibration values, is also replicated in the internal memory of the ISS PCA 1,
so that there is a backup to protect against data loss. This means that if the hard disk drive fails, it can be
replaced by a new one, and the key data will automatically be copied from the ISS PCA 1 to the new hard disk.
Similarly, if the ISS PCA 1 breaks, it can be replaced, and the key data will be automatically copied from the hard
disk onto the new part. It is important to understand what this means in practical terms: the hard disk and ISS
PCA 1 cannot be replaced simultaneously, and can only be replaced by new parts. If either the hard disk or the
ISS PCA is not new (e.g. they come from another printer), then the printer will trigger a system error preventing
the replacement parts from being used.
Considerations
If the E-Box Hard Disk Drive (HDD) on an HP Latex 1500 printer needs to be replaced, there are several factors
that must be taken into consideration. The most important of these is that a previously used HDD from a
different printer cannot be installed under any circumstances. Installing a used drive on another printer will
cause an error:
1. Remove the four engine adaptor PCAs. See Engine adaptor PCA (CZ056-67188) on page 802.
NOTE: You are strongly recommended to ensure that all cables are labeled, to avoid confusion when
replacing the e-box interconnect PCA and reconnecting all the cables.
Installation
NOTE: Be careful while reconnecting the engine adaptor PCAs to the e-box interconnect PCA. It can be
hard to connect both PCAs correctly, and the connector pins are delicate: they can easily break.
5. Reconnect all the cables to the e-box interconnect PCA, taking care to connect each cable to the
corresponding e-box interconnect PCA connector. See Figure 2-17 E-box on page 91.

▲ After installation, perform the printhead cleaning Z calibration and TILT adjustment height calibration and
check (47005).
1. Remove the Web Wipe Printhead cleaning module. See Web Wipe printhead cleaning module
(K4T88-67111) on page 1127.
NOTE: Remove the Web Wipe Printhead cleaning module, except the K0Q45-00081 (backplane cover
does not need to be removed in this process).
NOTE: Remove 1 PCA (top outside, top inside, bottom outside or bottom inside depending which PCA is
damaged).
Installation
1. Check that the calibration and tilt have been correctly set. Perform both the printhead cleaner height check
and the printhead cleaner tilt check (in the list above).
2. If any of the printhead cleaner check procedures do not complete correctly, perform printhead cleaner
calibration and, if necessary, the printhead cleaner tilt adjustment (in the list above) to correct the
printhead cleaner height and tilt.
This check is to find the operational height of the pressure roller of the printhead cleaning system. The check is
made while wiping the printheads (either servicing or dynamic printhead wipes).
Perform this check whenever the printhead cleaning system is replaced or repaired, or if you see a very fast
degradation of printhead life.
The printhead cleaner roll height check requires that you use the diagnostics tests; they are accessible through
the Print Care Diagnostics tab.
Diagnostic availability can change depending on the role logged in Print Care and printer boot mode. This test is
accessible at any user and printer boot mode login.
1. From the Internal Print Server’s main screen, select Tools ►Print Care ►Diagnostic.
3. From the Diagnostic Web Wipe screen, select Printhead cleaning Z calibration [47005] and click Run.
4. The printer starts up the electronics and the various subsystems involved in the calibration.
5. When all the subsystems are initialized, the IPS screen displays a message describing the process and
objectives of the test:
6. Perform the printhead cleaner check procedure. See Table 5-16 Printhead cleaning on page 580.
While the printhead cleaner check procedure is performed, the carriage starts doing several dynamic wipes
at different heights of the rubber blade. After each dynamic wipe, the printhead cleaning subsystem makes
one controlled advance.
8. When the test is completed, pull the printhead cleaning module out of the printer and take a look at the
marks left on the cloth.
The test will have generated some marks on the cloth, similar to the following:
9. If you select Next, the test is finished. The Diagnostic tool shows the following screen:
Besides looking at the height calibration of the module we also have to look how tilted the module is. In this case
what we will see is that the line marks do not start with all printheads touching the wipe at the same position but
starting with one single color. We consider that the tilt of a module is acceptable if the number of incomplete
marks (the ones that don’t extend the full length to cover all heads less than or equal to two. If there are 3 non-
complete lines, then we recommend to add a shim on the side where we first start to see the marks (adding a
shim on one side moves the module down on that side, thus reducing wiping interference with the printhead).
After which we can return to adjust the height.
▲ Tilt assessment:
In the next image we can see a miscalibrated module. This module requires Tilt adjustment.
This calibration is to adjust the height of the pressure roller of the printhead cleaning system. The user must
generate this calibration after having performed the Printhead cleaning Z calibration check [47005].
The printhead cleaner roll height calibration requires that you use the Diagnostics tests that are accessible
through Print Care. The process to access the printhead cleaner diagnostic screen is described under printhead
cleaner check.
1. From following screen select the tab Set printhead cleaning Z cal:
Once you select Next in the Diagnostic tool, the following screen will be displayed:
Enter the number of visible single lines fully printed on the cleaning material in the printhead cleaning Z
calibration check
In this moment the user should introduce the number the lines that he can see on the wipe, after having
performed Printhead cleaner check.
Once the number the lines is selected, the tool will amend the interference value between the roller blade
and the printheads, and it will adjust the e.u. if necessary. The correct height for the cleaning roll it
corresponds with is 4 visible lines, the printer adjusts the e.u. to reach this height automatically using the
lines selected at this point as a starting reference. This new value is loaded in the internal memory of the
printer (NVM).
Once the new value is loaded in the NVM, the calibration is done.
After calibration, our recommendation is to repeat the printhead cleaner check to verify that the values
changed have been correctly modified.
Tilts whole module to ensure continuous printhead contact along the blade. Performed manually with a screw:
1. Run the Print Care diagnostic Printhead cleaning Z calibration check [47005] to check if all lines are
complete or not.
2. Loosen the two lateral screws in the right side of the module to allow movement.
4. Adjust tilt using the front screw. The module is tilted towards front or rear depending on the screw
direction.
6. Run the PrintCare diagnostic Printhead cleaning Z calibration check [47005] to check if all lines are now
complete.

– C-clip
Procedure:
Process to dismount and mount the roll gear wheel and end cap
4. Extract the endcap. If necessary you can use the gear wheel extractor.
1. If necessary use sandpaper for 5 min. in order to increase the diameter and size of the key slot, in order to
help to mount the gear. The same could be done on the end cap.
One small piece of sandpaper is provided with the upgrade kit. But in case it is not enough, you can use a
similar sandpaper.
2. In case the black gear is not well positioned, (mainly when placing the end cap, and without being able to
place the C-clip), steps 3 to 8 have to be performed. If not go to step 9.
3. The reason that in some cases the gear can not be well placed:
4. The axis onto which the gear is slided can have slack. When placing the gear, it is important that there is no
slack, if there is, it is not possible to place the C-clip The picture below shows the 2 possible axis positions,
with the gear also in 2 different positions:
In the upper picture, with the finger just pushing the gear towards the right.
On the lower picture, with the finger, just pushing the gear towards the left. In some cases, there is slack
when moving this gear right and left as the axis can have slack at around 2 mm.
It is important to place the gear against the right journal, so that there is no more space, even when moving
the gear towards the right. In order to do that:
5. A small steel cylinder has been provided within the kit. Here is a sample:
6. Push the gear as much as possible towards the left against the right journal.
7. Place the cylinder as shown in the picture below, pushing with the fingers towards the right, that there is
space coming from the slack, between the gear and the right journal.
So as to not damage your fingers, do not place them between the gear space and right journal. Here are 2
examples:
Good/Bad position:
8. Once the fingers are in place, hit the other part of the cylinder with a hammer to place the gear on the axis.
In case it has not be well inserted, re-perform the step using sandpaper to increase the inner diameter of
the gear, and also the part where the key is inserted.
9. If necessary, insert the end cap following steps 10 to 11. If not, go to step 12.
11. You can also use a screwdriver to fix the shaft, and hit the end cap with a nylon hammer. Here is the correct
position of the flat screw driver:
While pushing towards the spindle with the end of the screwdriver (the side maintained by the hand), in
order to push towards the middle of the spindle, the gear, and the end caps, hit slightly around the end cap
with a nylon hammer. Below is a picture showing arrows where to hit.
Apply pressure on the screwdriver to push the end cap towards the center of the spindle.

e. Remove the spring that holds the latch and remove the latch.
f. Remove the gear axis using the nylon hammer and extract the old gear to install the new one using
the nylon hammer.
Installation
1. If necessary use sandpaper for 5 min. in order to increase the diameter and size of the key slot, in order to
help to mount the gear. The same could be done on the end cap.
One small piece of sandpaper is provided with the upgrade kit. But in case it is not enough, you can use
similar sandpaper.
2. In case the black gear is not well positioned, (mainly when placing the end cap, and without being able to
place the C-clip), steps 3 to 8 have to be performed. If not go to step 9.
3. The reason that in some cases the gear can not be well placed:
4. The axis onto which the gear is slided can have slack. When placing the gear, it is important that there is no
slack, if there is, it is not possible to place the C-clip The picture below shows the 2 possible axis positions,
with the gear also in 2 different positions:
In the upper picture, with the finger just pushing the gear towards the right.
On the lower picture, with the finger, just pushing the gear towards the left. In some cases, there is slack
when moving this gear right and left as the axis can have slack at around 2 mm.
It is important to place the gear against the right journal, so that there is no more space, even when moving
the gear towards the right. In order to do that:
5. A small steel cylinder has been provided within the kit. Here is a sample:
6. Push the gear as much as possible towards the left against the right journal.
7. Place the cylinder as shown in the picture below, pushing with a finger.
So as to not damage your fingers, do not place them between the gear space and right journal. Here are 2
examples:
8. Once the fingers are in place, hit the other part of the cylinder with a hammer to place the gear on the axis.
In case it has not be well inserted, re-perform the step using sandpaper to increase the inner diameter of
the gear, and also the part where the key is inserted.
9. If necessary, insert the end cap following steps 10 to 11. If not, go to step 12.
11. You can also use a screwdriver to fix the shaft, and hit the end cap with a nylon hammer. Here is the correct
position of the flat screw driver:
While pushing towards the spindle with the end of the screwdriver (the side maintained by the hand), in
order to push towards the middle of the spindle, the gear, and the end caps, hit slightly around the end cap
with a nylon hammer. Below is a picture showing arrows where to hit. Apply pressure on the screwdriver to
push the end cap towards the center of the spindle.
14. To install the IPS side plate gear follow the removal procedure in reverse.

Introduction
Before moving, make sure the new site is ready. To prepare the new installation site, see the site preparation
guide. To mount and reinstall the printer, see the installation guide.
● Move the printer to a new site (transport temperature below 5°C/41°F) on page 1409 In this case, before
switching off the printer, the ink must be removed from the tubes. You need the ink system cleaning tubes
and 5 liters of distilled water.
● B. Move the printer to a new site (transport temperature above 5°C/41°F): If you need to move the printer
to a new site, the printer must be fixed to a pallet. If the temperature will not drop below 5°C/41°F, follow
these instructions. Failure to follow these instructions could cause the ink to freeze, which would damage
the ink system and require heavy repair.
● C. Move the printer to the same site (with ramps or steps): If you need to move the printer within the same
site but there are ramps or steps on the route, you will need to lift the printer with a forklift or a crane.
● D. Move the printer to the same site (no ramps, no steps): If you wish to move the printer a short distance
on the same site, across a horizontal floor with no steps and no slopes, read the instructions.
In any case, some preparations must be made before the printer can be moved, and failure to follow these steps
could cause irreversible damage to the printer.
This repacking guide provides you with step-by-step procedures for the repacking process. This guide is
organized in chronological order and should be followed from beginning to end.
NOTE: After moving the printer, you may in some cases need an electrician to reconnect the power cables. You
may also need to reconfigure the network, from the HP Internal Print Server computer, and from the RIP
computer. See the installation guide for more details.
NOTE: If the printer is moved to a different customer, the Print Care software must be reinstalled to generate a
new customer ID. Then, a service call must be made to HP so that the printer’s serial number is associated with
the new customer ID.
