● Readership
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 3000 printer.
For information about using the printer, see the user’s guide.
Chapters
1: Using this manual
This chapter.
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.
ENWW Purpose 1
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: Call Me @HP
Call Me @HP is a remote troubleshooting tool embedded in the Print Care software, by which customers can
obtain support remotely without the need of a service visit. This chapter describes how to troubleshoot
issues related to this tool.
● 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.

Electrical system: E-cabinet
Functionality
The e-cabinet is the power distribution centre for the whole printer. It is an enclosure located on the right
side of the printer where all the power electrical components are located.
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 or high current single phase); e-box,
heaters, DC and AC power supplies.
NOTE: To power the printer, a 240 V single-phase or bi-phase high-current connection can be used.
There is no support for powering the printer in single- or bi-phase at other nominal voltages. See the
installation guide and site preparation guide for details and specifications.
The main power is switched on or off through the main switch SW-1, and the IPS power is switched on or off
through ACB-9.
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. 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 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.

ENWW
The printer’s loads are all single phase, therefore a three-phase line is not strictly required. However in many
cases the mains line available for the required power level is a three-phase line.
Through the installation and configuration terminal blocks (TB-1), the e-cabinet splits the input line into
three 200–240 V single-phase lines. There is a pilot light on each of these lines (L-1, L-2, and L-3) 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
● 2 lines for the AC/DC PSUs and the power transformer, with ACB protection on each line
This separation of the AC lines allows us to identify better where a problem with the AC part comes from.
AC power supplies
There are two AC power supplies (DS-1 and DS-2) to power the IR lamps in the drying system (one for each
lamp module). These power supplies convert the AC input voltage to a lower AC voltage controlled by the
firmware and allow a fine control of the lamps output power and independence from the AC input variations.

Internal Components
The interior of the e-cabinet contains the following components:
● Safety relay (X-1, controlled by the emergency stops and enable button)
● 2 AC/AC power converters (DS-1 to DS-2, power for the drying lamps)
● E-cabinet PCA
● Fan (FAN-1)
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.
The side nearest to the IPS PC provides the user interface and the AC in/out interface
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.
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
summary of the PSUs:
Printheads
ISM
Service station
● Drying PCAs
● Fiber-optics PCA
5 1000W 42V Scan motor Safety relay and safety interlocks control
● Printhead PCAs
● Service station
● TUR PCA
● Scan-axis motor
● Vacuum pumps
● 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.
● 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.
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 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 ISS PCA 1 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 ISS PCA 1 to the new hard disk.
Similarly, if the ISS PCA 1 breaks, it can be replaced by a new one, and key data are automatically copied
from the hard disk to the ISS PCA 1.
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.
● Engine PCAs: 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:

◦ Buzzer
◦ Optimizer printhead
● Engine adaptor PCAs: The engine adaptor boards are responsible for:
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 265 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.

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 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.
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.
Roll-to-free-fall configurations
The roll-to-free-fall configuration allows the user to cut and collect the substrate as the printer prints
dynamically. In this configuration, the substrate goes behind the roll-to-free-fall roller after passing the
lower diverter (up to the diverter, the substrate path is exactly the same as in the roll-to-roll configuration).
The roll-to-free-fall roller has its own pinch mechanism to keep the substrate under tension and to allow
dynamic cutting.
The drive plate of the roll-to-free-fall system is located on the right side of the printer, besides the output
side plate. The motor transmits the torque directly to the roll-to-free-fall roller via a transmission belt.
In addition to this, the output spindle can be used as a substrate collector. This is the roll-to-free-fall-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-free-fall-to-collector configurations can be chosen in the Internal Print
Server during the substrate loading process.
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’s 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). 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.
Note that although the OMAS & Vacuum PCA are 2 different boards, the service part is the same assembly.
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 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 encoder strip is a metal 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 and power and data cables that go to the
carriage, including the fiber-optics cable to control the printheads. It is designed to allow a controlled
bending ratio 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.
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 6, and then passes through other printhead boards until
reaching the drying PCA. See Carriage on page 40 and Figure 2-6 SAXmiMAmoMF block diagram
on page 63 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
120 mm (4.7 in). This movement can be cancelled.
Components
The PPS system is composed of four independent assemblies, which work together in order to raise and
lower the scan axis of the printer.
● The PPS home position switch detects when its PPS unit has reached its lowest position, also known as
the homing position. The switches are attached to the four side walls of the printer.
Theory of operation
The movement is transferred to the PPS nut; which, rotating around the PPS screw, raises and lowers the top
structure of the machine. The transmission system of the PPS is formed by a helical gear, a pinion, and the
PPS gear.
The homing of the system (homing sensors activated) is the movement that releases the system modules
from the scan-axis structure load. It is made to allow the system to pass through all the backlash distance
downwards.
When the PPS system raises the system from homing position, it travels through the backlash area without
touching the top scan structure. It starts to move the module without load but with the backlash eliminated.
Then there is a contact between each module and the PPS link plate (scan bottom area). This is the engage
position, which represents the absolute zero for the motor encoder and fixes the zero of the Z map for every
module.
The engage position is the normal printing position. Upwards movements to the higher printing positions can
be performed accurately. Downwards movements from custom or loading position to a lower printing
position first need to do a system rehoming to align the system and to eliminate backslash uncertainties.
Components
● Ink cartridges
● Printheads
● TRS
● The fourteen intermediate ink tanks (two for each color), located at the front side of the ink system
compartment.
● The air circuit module, located on the first tray from the top, provides the air pressure needed to
pressurize the intermediate ink tanks and send ink to the printheads.
● The two air pressure bottles prevent cross-contamination of ink when a broken bag occurs inside an
intermediate ink tank. Each bottle also works as a cushion device for the air pressurization system.
● The ink circuit module, located on the lower tray, manages the flow of ink using a complex set of
valves.
● There are three ink sensor boards, each with three ink pressure sensors. Each board comes calibrated
from the factory with unique values. 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 are two ISS main boards 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 swapping the amount of
pressurization supplying ink from the other set of intermediate 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. While one tank
sends ink to the printheads, the other is being refilled. In this way, continuous printing is possible while
changing ink cartridges.
The air pressure is constantly monitored by an air pressure sensor located on the ISS PCAs. The system is
able to depressurize with the relief valves located in the air system.
When a broken bag is detected by the sensor located inside the intermediate ink tank, 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.
● Green 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, together with the
printhead control electronics, the printhead primer system, two arrays of aerosol fans, the SAX encoder, the
line sensor, the spectrophotometer, and the crash sensor. The drying modules are also assembled at both
sides of the carriage. For more details about the drying system, see Drying on page 52.
● 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 are two arrays of color printheads, six printheads in total, two of each type (C/K, M/Y, lc/lm). There is a
seventh printhead for the optimizer, which is fired before the colored inks, which has multiple benefits:
ENWW Carriage 41
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 are two carriage interconnect boards located in the carriage tower. They receive 42 V from the e-
cabinet and 12 V from the drying PCAs. They are responsible for:
● Distributing the required power to all the printhead interconnect boards (42 V).
● Powering the primer pumps (3V3 generated by the board). The upper carriage interconnect powers the
primer pump for printheads 1, 2, 4, and 6. The lower one does so for printheads 3, 5, and 7.
● Powering the spectrophotometer shutter mechanism (12 V). Done by the upper carriage interconnect
board.
There are seven printhead interconnect boards, one for each printhead. Each one receives 42 V from the
carriage interconnect boards. They are responsible for:
● Controlling the spectrophotometer sensor and shutter mechanism. This is done by printhead
interconnects 3 and 5 respectively, through the upper carriage interconnect board.
● Controlling the printhead priming. Printhead interconnect 5 controls priming for printheads 1, 2, 4, 6;
printhead interconnect 7 controls priming for printheads 3, 5, 7.
● The scan-axis encoder signal passes through printhead interconnect 6→4→2→1 and then goes to the
drying PCAs.
The are two types of printhead interconnect PCA, one for the color printheads and a different one for the
Optimizer printhead.
ENWW Carriage 43
The crash sensor and aerosol system are controlled by the drying PCAs.
This PCA demultiplexes the printing data coming from the fiber-optics and sends the data to each printhead
interconnect board.
It receives 12 V from the upper drying PCA and it is connected to the fiber-optics coming from the box
through the dynamic chain.
Spectrophotometer
The spectrophotometer is used to perform color calibrations. There is a control board embedded within the
spectrophotometer mechanism that cannot be replaced independently.
Line sensor
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 interconnects 6→4→2→1 and then goes
to the drying PCAs.
Crash sensor
Increase printer reliability and safety in the case of a print platen substrate crash. The working principle is as
follows:
1. There are two fiber-optic light beams, one at each carriage side.
2. The sensor triggers an alarm signal if something obstructs the light beam.
3. On the alarm signal, the control electronics switch off the heater lamps and stop the carriage.
ENWW Carriage 45
Carriage oiling foam retainers
The carriage oiling foams lubricate the rods and bushings that support the carriage. There are two foams
located at the front and rear of the carriage.
See the subsystem block diagrams for more details: Figure 2-10 Carriage print block diagram on page 67
and Figure 2-11 Carriage AR and crash sensor block diagram on page 68.
Capping is the process of sealing the printheads while they are not in use, to keep the printhead’s nozzles in
good condition.
Drop detection identifies possibly blocked nozzles, allowing the printer to apply the appropriate algorithms
to compensate and maintain print quality.
Components
● The capping station screw assembly is rotated by the capping station motor. The assembly includes a
nut and pin system which is inserted into the platform.
● The printhead capping module is the mechanical part that seals the printheads.
Drop-detector platform
● The drop-detector platform motor is mounted on the rear side of the service station chassis and drives
the screw that moves the drop-detector platform. It is controlled by an independent motor drive PCA.
● The drop-detector platform screw assembly rotates by the action of the capping station motor. The
assembly includes a nut and pin system which is inserted into the platform.
● 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 under the platform and from side to side of the drop-detector
platform.
Theory of operation
The capping procedure
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.
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: While the printer is turned off and the printheads are in the capped position, it is not possible to
move the carriage. To uncap the printheads manually, rotate the platform screw with a screwdriver; the
screw can be accessed from the front of the service station.
NOTE: If the carriage is moved in capped position, the capping post may become damaged and the capping
module will be unable to perform the capping procedure on the printhead. Print quality and printhead life will
be impaired.
NOTE: To return the carriage to the capping position after work in diagnostic mode, reboot the printer in
normal mode.
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.
Any nozzles that did not fire correctly are then disabled, allowing the printer to compensate and maintain
print quality by using the other nozzles. This is the error-hiding algorithm.
There are 4 drop-detector PCAs. Each one has a dedicated flat cable coming from the e-box interconnect PCA.
Each PCA controls 2 drop-detector sensors, except the DD PCA 4, that controls only the drop detection for the
optimizer printhead.
The linear encoder signal goes from the DD PCA1 to the rest of the DD PCAs.
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.
● 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 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.
This heat is provided by means of two infrared lamps located on each side of the carriage.
Components
The drying system is composed of two symmetrical modules, one on each side of the carriage.
● 1 infrared lamp
● 1 array of 8 fans
● 1 quartz glass
ENWW Drying 53
● 2 temperature sensors : one after the fans (to measure cold air) and other in the hot air outlet.
Each drying module is controlled though a dedicated drying PCA located at the carriage tower. Two AC power
cables come from the e-cabinet AC converters to the drying PCAs (through the dynamic chain) to power each
of the modules.
Theory of operation
The substrate over the print platen is irradiated by the infrared lamps, whose power level is regulated in
open-loop mode. Each one of the modules is controlled independently and the PWM level can be set
individually.
The two temperature sensors are used only for monitoring; there is no control of lamp operating
temperature.
Each lamp is refrigerated by a set of eight fans, whose power control and diagnosis is common for the
complete array. The fans are kept on in case of emergency shutdown or after the lamp switching off, to avoid
module overheating. Apart from this, there is a safety thermostat to stop the lamp in case of temperature
error or fan failure.
The quartz glass is transparent to lamp radiation and allows redirecting the fans airflow to be evacuated
through the air outlet, following a direction parallel to the substrate. Besides, it helps to protect the lamp
chamber from the aerosol generated in the print platen.
From each Drying PCA a single harness containing the AC, DC and control cable connect with each of the
modules.
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
ENWW Curing 55
● 2 temperature sensors
● 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 side 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.
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.
Two power cables are connected to each curing PCA (six PCAs in total):
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.
ENWW Curing 57
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 connected 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 pump
● Waste bottle
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 heat exchanger fans are controlled by a PCA similar to the curing PCA. The vacuum pump is supplied from
the e-cabinet and controlled by a vacuum PCA, similar to the one controlling the print-zone vacuum.
Note that there is a connection panel in the ISM, so that all the e-box and e-cabinet cables arrive to this
panel, and from there they are connected to the pump and the vapor removal PCA.

3 Safety requirements
● Hazards
● Safety Check
NOTE: After using the maintenance key to open a door, remember to lock it afterwards, and return the key
to safe and secure storage.
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.
Before starting
Located on each side of the substrate path, close to the PPS gear
Located on each side of the substrate path, close to the PPS gear
Particular attention must be paid to the drying and curing subsystem, which uses hazardous voltages. Even
when the drying and curing subsystem is 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 84
● 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.
● 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
● 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 84
● 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).
Best practice
● Always perform the Safety Check before servicing the printer. See Safety Check on page 84
● Wear protective gloves if you must touch the scan-axis encoder strip.
Best practice
● Always perform the Safety Check before servicing the printer. See Safety Check on page 84
● Avoid direct contact with the drying and curing area of the printer.
● If you must work near the drying and curing modules, make sure that they have completely cooled
down.
ENWW Hazards 81
Best practice
● When handling substrate rolls, care must be taken to avoid back strain and/or injury.
● Always use a forklift, pallet truck, or other handling equipment to lift substrates.
● Follow any manpower instructions included in this service manual when you replace components. Many
components, such as the drive roller or the cover, require at least two people for removal.
Fire Hazard
Description
Drying and curing subsystems operate at high temperatures.
Best practice
● Always perform the Safety Check before servicing the printer. See Safety Check on page 84.
● Connect the power cords to dedicated lines, each protected by a branch circuit breaker.
● Do not manipulate the heating modules, unless required for servicing parts.
● Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the printer. Do not operate
the printer in an explosive atmosphere.
● Follow any manpower instructions included in this service manual when you replace components. Many
components, such as the drive roller or the cover, require at least two people for removal.
● Do not attempt to modify the drying or curing module, or the e-cabinet, unless required for servicing
parts.
● Do not load substrates that cannot be used at an operating temperature above 125°C (257°F). Ensure
that the operating temperature of the substrate recommended by the manufacturer is not exceeded. If
this information is not available, ask the manufacturer.
● Proper maintenance and genuine HP consumables are required to ensure that the printer operates
safely as designed. The use of non-HP consumables (foams, filters, printhead cleaner roll, and inks)
may present a risk of fire.
● Do not load substrates with auto-ignition temperatures below 250°C (482°F). See note below. No
ignition sources are close to the substrate.
NOTE: Test method based on EN ISO 6942:2002: Evaluation of materials and material assemblies
when exposed to a source of radiant heat, method B. The test conditions, to determine the temperature
when the substrate starts ignition (either flame or glow) were: heat flux density 30 kW/m², copper
calorimeter, K type thermocouple.
Best practice
● Always perform the Safety Check before servicing the printer. See Safety Check on page 84.
● You are recommended not to look directly at the lamps while they are on.
Best practice
● Always perform the Safety Check before servicing the printer. See Safety Check on page 84.
Ink handling
Your printer does not use solvent inks and does not have the traditional problems associated with them.
However, HP recommends that you wear gloves when handling ink system components.
ENWW Hazards 83
Safety Check
Description
The Safety Check must be performed before 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, 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.
● Print-quality troubleshooting
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 341.
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 340.
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.
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
● XX.nn.mm:ff

Description
The air system is unable to pressurize to the expected working pressure, which, depending on the actual
working cycle, could be 5.2–5.6 psi (normal working pressure) or 3.6–4 psi (during refilling the non-refilled
side is pressurized to prevent backwards refill).

PPS misalignment. Run diagnostics to recover PPS subsystem. If the problem persists, call HP service.
Description
The relative movement of one of the PPS modules with respect to the other is incorrect, which means that
there is danger of a misalignment of the complete system. With this system error the system is protecting
itself to prevent any possible damage. This system error can also happen when the distance between the
homing position and the engage position is more than 7 mm.
a. A trapped obstruction has damaged the power transmission and has broken the mechanical power
chain.
b. Moving down a homing sensor has been activated or the PPS switch has failed.
2. Try to move the carriage beam to the normal position (from the Internal Print Server or Print Care). If it
is still failing, reboot in diagnostic mode and perform the same operation from Print Care.
3. From the diagnostic mode, perform the switch diagnostic, testing the four different homing switches of
the PPS.
4. If the carriage beam is misaligned, perform a manual alignment by removing the PPS motor and turning
the PPS gear system until they are aligned.
5. Check that all the PPS supports are touching the scan axis.
6. Check whether any object is trapped between the scan axis and PPS support.
Severity
Advisory
Description
The meaning of X is:
An error in the closed-loop control (servo control) of the PPS system has occurred. This error indicates 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 feedback of an encoder
about the actual movement of the motor after applying that specific PWM.
Therefore, if after applying a specific PWM the encoder does not register the expected number of encoder
counts (movement), the system will produce this error. Also if the PWM values come out of a certain range of
values for the movement (i.e too high PWM to obtain a movement), this error is produced.
b. Encoder signals indicating the movement not registered. Encoder disconnected, encoder broken or
failed, cable disconnected, or the electrical system receiving the encoder signal has failed.
d. PPS system fuse failure. Contact between mechanical system fuse and the motor module.
Corrective actions
1. Check the connection of PPS motor power cable and encoder cables.
2. Check that power is supplied to the encoder PCA (LED in the main interconnect).
3. With PPS in the high position, unscrew the X-Y bushing, and check that it can move smoothly through
the column. The screwdriver needs to be long.
4. With the PPS in the low position, remove the bottom stopper to the PPS screw (may need to remove the
left and right curing module).
5. Remove each PPS screw with a flat screwdriver and then grease the parts. Check that there are no
obstructions.
6. If you find plastic or metal obstructions, you will have to remove the corresponding PPS motor
assembly later to clean it too.
7. If the high friction error continues, swap the PPS screw from one to the other, and check whether the
failure is following the PPS screw.
Severity
Advisory
Description
The meaning of X is:
During start-up the printer produces an automatic check by making 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.
As the movement is very small, this error usually represents a critical error such as cables disconnected,
motor failure, or a PCA fault.
c. Motor failure/encoder
Corrective actions

sensor inlet marked as Lo to the inlet at the bottom of the aerosol removal box:
● The tube should go up to the full length of the inlets at the sensor and the box.
If the tube is properly connected at both inlets, make sure that it is not pinched by any other element in the
carriage.
If the pressure sensor reading is too low, the aerosol removal bar will work at full power (the module will be
very noisy) and there may be small errors in dot placement that could produce grain.

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. Make sure that the drop detector is correctly connected to the service station interconnect board. Use

Meaning of LEDs
Power output fuse feedback (external side)
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.
● 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.
NOTE: These LEDs work only if there is control voltage present (+24VDC). This voltage is supplied through
the e-cabinet PCA and must be activated by the firmware.
● PWM (green): lit when the firmware is providing an adequate control signal.
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 three different model families, here is the location of the
feedback LED for each family:
External lights
On the e-cabinet side where the user interface is, there are four lights and one illuminated pushbutton:
If all these lights are not lit when the main switch is on:
● It’s most likely that one or more AC protections on the mains installation (external to the machine) are
switched off, so there is no AC voltage present.
● It’s possible that the installation cross-connectors on TB-1 are not installed, loose, or wrongly installed.
If only one or two of these lights are lit when the main switch is on:
● 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.
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.
This can be measured with an AC voltage meter between TB7-2 and TB7-4:
To verify that the emergency stops are all released, measure the DC voltage between TB5-7 (-) and TB5-2
(+). 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 TB5-1 and TB5-2:
● 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
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
To verify that the interlocks are all closed measure the DC voltage between TB5-7 (-) and TB6-3 (+). 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 TB6-2 and TB6-3:
● 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.

This image should be printed when the hardware installation is complete. It has been pre-ripped for HP
Permanent Gloss Self-adhesive Vinyl and can be printed by adding it directly to the Internal Printer Server
queue. Therefore, there is no interaction with the RIP. It is a useful image for detecting major deviations from
normal printer performance.
This image cannot be printed outside the wizard. However, if the print is not cured completely or you observe
bleed or graininess defects attributable to the optimizer level, the wizard can be used to find a preset that
works well with your substrate and compare it with the preset that is not working well.
● Drop detection
● Automatic recovery. If there are an excessive number of blocked nozzles in any of the printheads, the
printer will automatically try to recover them with a more rigorous servicing process, which includes
priming the affected printheads.
● Final drop detection and nozzle substitution. Nozzle health is checked again so that the printer can
correct for the blocked nozzles that were not successfully serviced.
Depending on the number of printheads needing recovery, the total time of this process can go from 10
minutes (no recovery needed) to 45 minutes. The image below gives an example of its effectiveness.
● Section 1 includes mid-tone areas printed with a single ink using a 6-pass print mode with nozzle
substitution.
● Section 2 shows plainly which nozzles in each printhead are printing and not printing.
Drop-detector diagnostics
Execute the drop-detector diagnostics from the Print Care window. This provides detailed information about
the blocked nozzles detected in each printhead.
NOTE: In early firmware releases the drop-detector diagnostics are not available.
Decision table
The following table summarizes the data that can be seen in each diagnostic, the possible causes, and the
decisions.

The Hard clean button starts a more rigorous cleaning process than the Check button does. It performs
several hard priming routines, and then a final drop detection and nozzle substitution to correct for any
nozzles that are still blocked.
TIP: If nozzles are severely blocked, it may be useful to perform a hard clean more than once.
Printhead alignment
See the user’s guide for more details of this process. To start it, go to the Internal Print Server and select
Printer > Printhead alignment.
● Fast and easy to use when a color printhead has been replaced
Manual alignment
● Provides good print quality when automatic alignment is not possible
Verify alignment
If you press the upper Print button to verify alignment, the following information is printed out:
The substrate-advance sensor cleanliness check is executed from Print Care: select Diagnostics > Substrate
Advance Sensor. It requires a sheet of plain paper.
If the sensor is dirty, follow the instructions in the Print Care maintenance wizard or in the user’s guide. If the
sensor is clean but the test fails, the sensor hardware could be faulty.
Substrate-advance adjustment
See the user’s guide for more details of this process. To start it, go to the Internal Print Server and select
Printer > Advance calibration > Plot.
As shown in the picture, locate the lightest of the columns, enter its number as the substrate advance
parameter and click Apply. If there are two equally light columns, enter the average. For example, if the
lightest columns are -3 and -2, enter -2.5 in the dialog.
Color calibration
See the user’s guide for more details of this process. To start it, go to the Internal Print Server and select
Substrate > Color calibration > Calibrate. The printer prints the color calibration test chart:
The calibration includes both the ink restriction and linearization steps of the color workflow. The ink
restriction and linearization vary with the drop weight of the printhead and other external conditions, such as
the substrate type. To reach a specific color density, one printhead may require 3 drops while another one
may require 3.5 drops (smaller drop weight).
● Whenever you load a new substrate type that has not yet been calibrated.
● Whenever you notice excessive color differences between prints. Such color differences can be caused
by:
● If a job will be repeated in the future, color calibrations should be run before the current batch of
images and before each subsequent batch of the same images.
The calibration may fail and therefore be cancelled in the following circumstances:
● The substrate is non-white, translucent or transparent, very glossy, or has a rough or punched surface.
● Some color patches are defective due to stains, wrinkles or bubbles, or general poor print quality such
as banding.
● The carriage beam is not in the normal printing position. The distance between sensor and substrate is
very important and must be properly controlled.
The service alignment test plot is printed from Print Care diagnostics, in the Print Quality section.
Compared with the customer’s Verify alignment print, this one offers:
● No optimizer
The plot does not indicate in what way 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.
The front printhead (Row 0) to rear printhead (Row 1) alignment check plot is printed from Print Care
diagnostics, in the Print Quality section.
The plot is a simple area fill intended to look only at the alignment between Row 0 and Row 1 in the substrate
axis direction. The area should come out uniform, except perhaps in the pass-to-pass areas that should be
disregarded. When the front printhead to rear printhead alignment is not correct, the first nozzle of the row 1
printhead is incorrectly set. Therefore, in the Row 0 to Row 1 alignment check areas you may find:
● A thin dark line where you see a rectangle in the picture. In this case, increase the corresponding F, G, or
H correction of the manual alignment.
See Theory of operation (roll-to-roll configuration) on page 25 for background information about the
substrate-advance sensor.
Substrate-advance sensor pixel-sixe 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 first step of the manual calibration consists of printing a calibration plot, checking it visually, and
introducing the correction values in the diagnostic test dialog box. The firmware uses these values to
calculate the pixel size of the current sensor.
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 adjustment
on page 318. 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.
Disabling the substrate-advance sensor can be useful to check whether the sensor is faulty and producing
random advance errors. Follow these steps:
1. Print the substrate advance adjustment plot (see Substrate-advance adjustment on page 318).
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 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
Encoder strip on page 773). This problem should not be tolerated.

3 Event logs
The error codes are documented in Troubleshooting system error codes on page 87. 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 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
● 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.
“For HP printer products, the use of a refilled or non-original HP consumable product (ink, printhead, ink

implications in performance and warranty. These alerts must be acknowledged twice for the printer to
continue working.
Service plot
Similar information can be found in the service plot.
Printheads
Printhead non-HP ink alerts
When non-HP ink usage is detected and the customer acknowledges the warnings, the installed printheads in
question are automatically marked as used with non-HP ink.
When a new printhead is installed, the customer is once again alerted about the performance and warranty
implications, and the customer must acknowledge such alerts.
Service plot
Similar information can be found in the service plot.
Safe mode
When using non-HP inks, the printer operates in safe mode to protect itself and its printheads from failures.
In safe mode:
● Install HP original cartridges and wait until 9 liters of HP ink have gone through the affected tubes of
the ink delivery system to the printheads.
● Flush the non-HP ink, reset the printer flags, and install HP original cartridges.
When the 9 liters have gone through the affected tubes of the ink delivery system:
● Any printheads that have been used with non-HP ink do not recover their warranties.
● Any new printhead installed after this point maintains its warranty.
1. Flush the non-HP ink; see 3. ISM flush and clean a single ink system line on page 915.
2. Reset the printer flags. Contact the LFP Customer Assurance team for instructions.
● Any printheads that have been used with non-HP ink do not recover their warranties.
● Any new printhead installed after this point maintains its warranty.

Description This diagnostic check the E-Box electronics needed for the processing of printing data and the transfer of this data
to the printheads via the fiber-optics cable.
Test steps:
● Formatter test
◦ It checks if all the cables going from the engine board to the fiber-optics PCA not only are connected but
they are also plugged in the correct connector.
◦ It checks the fiber-optic connector is plugged, it 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 side.
Fail criteria This diagnostic points to the failure connection except for the power.
Description This diagnostic checks the optical fiber cable connection to the fiber-optics PCA. It will verify that the cable is
properly plugged and functioning correctly.
Test steps:
● If the above check fails, then the diagnostic test requires user interventation in order to check the status of
some LEDs in the e-box side and in the carriage side.
◦ E-box side:
◦ Carriage side:
● If LED1 in the Carriage is ON and LED1 in the e-box is OFF, then the fiber-optics needs to be
changed.
Pass criteria FO OK
Description This diagnostic 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 if all the cables going from the Carriage fiber-optics PCA to the printhead board are plugged.
◦ If it fails, then the user needs to run a diagnostic test and the user needs to check the status of one LED.
In case the printhead boards are not connected in the right 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 in the correct interface.
Description This diagnostic test checks the printhead insertion mechanism. You should use it only if insertion problems have
repeatedly been observed in a particular printhead slot. The test will move the carriage to the access position. There
you can select any specific slot to check, remove, or insert any printhead, and check that it is properly detected.
Test steps:
◦ If it fails, then the user needs to run the Trailing Cable Connectivity test and the user needs to check the
status of LED DS15.
◦ It checks if the printhead is well connected in the printhead pocket. If it fails, then the user needs to run a
diagnostic test and the user needs to check the status of LED DS7.
In case the printhead boards are not connected in 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
in the correct interface.
Description This diagnostic test checks the versions of the fiber-optic PCAs in case you have a hardware/firmware mismatch.
Pass/fail This test is purely informative and has no pass or fail criteria.
criteria
Description This diagnostic test checks the data lines from the optical fiber PCA to the printhead interconnect boards. If these
data lines are OK, the two green LEDs on each printhead interconnect board are turned on.
Pass/fail This test lights up the DS1 and DS15 LEDs of each printhead interconnect PCA. If one of them is not lit, replace the
criteria printhead interconnect PCA and/or the cable to the fiber-optics PCA.
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, please 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 either be 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.
Pass criteria If all of them works properly by checking that open/close them you are able to see changes in screen status

▲ In case of failure, run e-box and e-cabinet diagnostics before replacing parts.
Description It does a series of movements to ensure that substrate movement accuracy is OK, this test perform a statistical
analysis so it takes some time to be completed
Fail criteria
The test takes 8 minutes per motor. You can select MI, MO, and MF in order to calibrate servos and diagnose motors;
in addition, you can boot the printer 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.
Description Calibrate the analog encoder, which calibrates all gain chain in the EE.
Pass criteria The diagnostic itself provides feedback about whether calibration was successful or not.
Pass criteria When the calibration is successful, feedback is provided by the diagnostic.
Note: Beware that not all substrate types are suitable for this calibration. Use preferably self-adhesive vinyls of around 78
in 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.

Instructions ● Run this calibration only after replacing the substrate-advance sensor.
● 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.

3. Reset calibration.
Description This test restores a default factory calibration, in the event that caused by another failed calibration is not possible
or/and it is missing.
Description This diagnostic 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 uncaps the carriage and moves it to the repair position. After that printer will be shut down and you will be
asked to turn off the main switch to work within a safe mode.
This test will help you to move the carriage to the replace position and shut down the printer automatically,
remember that if this operation will take long time, it is recommended to remove the printhead and put them in the
orange caps.
Description This test performs a series of movements at different speeds and saves values in a log for escalations. It also
returns the measured scan-axis length. Use the data extraction procedure to save the data from the printer.
Description This test will cause a small movement to ensure that all electronics, motor driver, motor, and encoder loop function
properly.
Description This test allows you to check the status of the four PPS columns homing sensors (open or closed).
If you are in the printer position all of them should be closed, but in substrate loading position all of them should be
open.
1. If the status is not right, check the switch position and wiring.
2. If everything is OK, but status remains wrong, replace the wrong ones.
Description This diagnostic allows you to move the carriage beam to any defined position.
This diagnostic could be used to spread the grease after maintenance and also to check that movement is smooth.
Description This test is defined to be performed with the motor detached from its housing in the column, so that you can find
out whether the problem is due to the mechanical gears/column or the motor/electrical/control part.
CAUTION: This test requires that the scan-beam motor is not mounted on the printer, otherwise the printer may
be damaged.
Description IDS Electronic Test Procedure. Start firmware components associated with electronic parts (GpioManagers,
AdcManagers, Dimmer, Nvm). Main PCAs revision number check. Nvm access test.
Pass criteria Feedback about the test result is provided in the Print Care window.
Description Air pressure system test. Engage the Air Pressure Systems (APS0 and APS1) to get a pressure over 5600 mPsi.
NOTE: Before this test can be performed a complete intermediate tank refill is required in order to ensure exact air
volumes, therefore a minimum of 1.6 l of ink is required in the ink supplies.
Pass criteria Pressure for all systems reaches more than 5600 mPsi.
Fail criteria The test fails if some of the APS does not get this pressure.
Description Select a supply to check the connector. The test guides you to unplug the connector and test that it has been
disconnected. It then guides you to plug in the connector and test that it is connected. The test does not check the
acumen connection with the ink supplies.
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 You can select which valve to test, and the amount of time before the test begins. When the test begins the selected
valve will be opened and closed several times. You have to listen to the valve on this action and tell the test when to
finish.
Description Intermediate tank change. This test will guide you in replacing an intermediate tank by a new one. First the ink is
passed from intermediate old tanks group X1 to the intermediate old tanks group X2. The old group X1 is then
extracted and the new group X1 is inserted. The ink is transferred from X2 old to X1 new. Then the X2 old are retired
and the X2 inserted. Where X is the IT color and 1 or 2 are the color index.
Description Ink supply LEDs test. This test lets you select one supply LED, and that will start to blink. After executing it, tested
LED light will remain off until you reboot the printer.
Fail criteria LED for selected line does not turn on.

system operates appropriately and to have at least 1.6 liters of ink in all the supplies. The Intermediate tanks refill
diagnostic utility is to fill the intermediate ink tanks in case they must be transported. In this way, the risk of a
broken bag is reduced. Also this procedure has to be used to fill a brand new IT after a broken bag problem
Description This procedure forces a refill of the intermediate tanks and sets them as full. The refill is time based. Use this
procedure in case the standard operation of refilling the intermediate tanks fails. The procedure can be used to fix
any other defect of the system where the intermediate tanks are emptied (electrical failures, leakages, etc). The
refill time is fixed to 15 minutes per side.
Description This procedure displays the number of life cycles (full refill) of the intermediate tanks.
Description This procedure shows in percentage (%) terms the amount of ink in the intermediate tanks.
Description This test shows the actual supply information and performs validation checks.

criteria
With the fan stopped for some seconds, check that the pressure value is close to zero, otherwise it is an error:
● The fans are faulty (they are spinning when they should not).
Description This test shows pressure sensor calibration values. Automatic pressure calibration must be done first.
Description This diagnostic 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 black point 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 The 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.
Description Deletes usage counters for line sensor, number of cycles, and working hours.
NOTE: This diagnostic 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 is 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.
Description This line sensor to black calibration should be performed mainly after replacing a line sensor or a sensor box. It
calibrates the position of the line sensor with respect to the black printhead. During the second step, the printer
prints 21 small squares, and scans 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.
IMPORTANT: You must open all the printhead primer latches whenever required, otherwise you will create a big
puddle of ink on the print platen.
This calibration is recommended to be done after replacing a primer, NVM restore or issue or primer leak system
error reported.
Description Measures gears-backlash and bump deformation and saves values for reference.
Fail criteria This test will fail if a bump is broken or if there is very high friction.
Description Set the backlash and elasticity of the service station to default values. This should be done for specific system
errors, in case the printer is not able to boot for a system error pointing to the service station. After this test, it is
important to redo the capping/drop-detector calibration.
Description This test calibrates the XY position of capping and drop-detector shuttle, for the printer to perform the drop
detection and the capping procedures appropriately with respect to the carriage. It is recommended to perform this
action after interventions in the carriage or the capping/drop-detector station that change their relative positions.
Description This test calibrates the drop-detector system. Perform this test whenever one or more drop detectors are replaced
or when the service station interconnect PCA is replaced.
CAUTION: All printheads must be in good health. If one of the printheads does not having enough nozzles working,
the calibration will fail, or will finish. To check that most of the nozzles are good enough for this calibration, print
the printhead alignment.
If all the calibration parameters are within limits the printer will finish and display an OK message, otherwise it will
display a fail message.
In case of failure perform a new hard cleaning procedure and redo the calibration. If the calibration still fails, check
the printhead that has failed (print printhead alignment) and replace the printhead if necessary. If all the printheads
are in good condition, replace the drop-detector sensors, then redo the calibration.
The nozzle-check plot is a better option for this purpose, but it may not be available to the operator.
Fail criteria If the final value received from the calibration is out of specification, it will be rejected and reported as failed.
Description Executes a single drop detection for all the printhead dies.
Description Displays stored calibration values for capping and drop detection.
Description Displays the current content of the printing nozzle health database.
Description Moves the selected cleaning roll axis, making a large enough movement to be seen.
This diagnostic initializes correctly, it operates in open loop and will always report OK.
Recommended sequence is: Engage, MI, MA, and MO. Look the roll and axis movement to detect any slippage.
Description This test is similar to the previous one, but seeking 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.
Pass criteria Delta in encoder counts reported, showing that the closed-loop feedback works.
Description This test perform the actions to show you the Z axis calibration. To execute the full process, see Height and tilt
check and calibration test on page 755.
Description Execute this test in order to set or change the current calibration, if needed after running the printhead cleaning Z

NOTE: Use a rag to avoid spilling ink. Before you remove the ink cartridge connector, let all the ink run
out.
11. Pull the ink cartridge connector set out of the printer.
1. Put the new ink cartridge connector set side by side with the old set.
2. Cut the new tube so that it is the same length as the old tube, using the specific cutter provided in the
ISM repair kit.
3. Install the new ink cartridge connector set, and join the lower tube to the upper tube using the
connector fitting. Make sure that the upper and lower tubes are pushed completely onto the connector.
CAUTION: As you insert them, make sure that you use a pushing motion, and not a twisting motion, as
this can damage the tubes.
4. Connect the Acumen data cable and switch cable, taking care not to mismatch them.
3. Remove the four T-10 screws that secure the metal support part to the printer, and pull out the
assembly.
4. Press on a latch that secures the ink pressure sensor mount to the metal support part, and slide out the

mount, and reconnect this tube to the new ink pressure sensor mount (without screwing it).
6. For the tube going to the main electrovalve, follow the same procedure as explained for the
electrovalve replacement (ISM repair kit).
Installation
1. Replace the ink pressure sensor mount with the new one and connect back the ink tubes.
2. Open the ink cartridge and, using a syringe, remove 40 ml of ink from the cartridge.
4. Place a piece of cloth under the purging port to avoid ink spills.
5. Inject 40 ml of ink into the purging port. The ink will flow into two paths, up to the empty bag and down
the tubes, passing the four-way valve.
6. After 40 ml, check that the ink has reached the waste bag (if not, inject more ink), then quickly
disconnect the waste bag, to continue introducing the remaining ink from the syringe while the syringe
CAUTION: Never hit the syringe with the hand using a hammer motion, this will damage the ink
pressure sensor board.

1. Install the new ISM wheel.
2. Lower the ink system compartment and remove the jack from the printer.
3. Remove the rear left panel. See Rear left panel assembly on page 636.
4. Remove the bottom left panel. See Bottom left panel assembly on page 636.
5. Disconnect the quick connector in order to separate both the ISM and the TRS assemblies.
6. For quick connector male and female valves, label each ink line further enough—it is recommended to
label them at least 20 cm away from the quick connector valve—that they will be correctly identified
when cutting the ink tubes and replacing both quick connector valves.
IMPORTANT: Do not mismatch the ink tube positions on the quick connector. Otherwise the printer
will not work properly because ink circuits could be mismatched between the ISM and the TRS
assemblies. You are strongly recommended to label the matching female and male quick connector
tubes, so there will be no confusion while replacing them.
7. For each ink line, flush the ink tube approximately 15 cm and cut at least 10 cm away from the quick
connector valve, before the ink tube label.
8. Connect the tube to the new quick connector ink tube using the proper fitting from the tube repair kit.
CAUTION: When installing the tubes, never twist the tubes, this will damage them. Always push/slide
the tubes until they are completely installed onto the fitting.
10. After repeating the above three steps for each ink line on both female and male quick connector valves,
reconnect the quick connector.
3. Turn off the printer in the correct way for maintenance operations.
1. Unscrew the pointed screws and remove the cover to access the intermediate tanks.
5. From the air tube, inject air (using the air pressure gun, for example) to clean the interior of the tube.
The ink accumulated in the interior of the tube should be ejected onto the piece of cloth that you have
put in place of the intermediate tank.
6. If air is not enough to clean it, use water, and then air again to remove the water and dry the tube.
Before proceeding, you are recommended to look at the air pump lifecycle in order to decide whether you
need to change only one or all air circuits.
3. Remove the rear left panel. See Rear left panel assembly on page 636.
4. Remove the bottom left panel. See Bottom left panel assembly on page 636.
5. Disconnect the two air pump cables and the relief valve cable from the corresponding ISS PCA (J17, J22,
and J21 connectors for ISS PCA A, and J19, J41, and J13 connectors for ISS PCA B).

intermediate tank, and the fittings. Cut each of the air tubes halfway between the intermediate tank
and the bottle cap.
10. Remove the pumps and all the air tubes connected to the pumps.
Installation
1. Install the air pumps, and connect the air pump and relief valve cables.
3. Connect the air tube to the bottle cap. Cut each of the air tubes halfway between the intermediate tank
and the bottle cap.
CAUTION: When installing the tubes, never twist the tubes, this will damage them. Always push/slide
the tubes until they are completely installed onto the fitting.
5. Perform the air pressure system diagnostic test to check that it works correctly.
3. Remove the rear left panel. See Rear left panel assembly on page 636.
4. Remove the bottom left panel. See Bottom left panel assembly on page 636.
5. Disconnect all the cables from the ink circuit module assembly and unroute them, so that the ink tray is
free from cables: mostly, the e-valves and four-way valve cables that connect to both ISS PCAs (A and
B).
CAUTION: Store the intermediate ink tanks vertically. Failure to store them vertically can cause a
broken bag.
10. For all the colors, disconnect the tubes from the ink pressure sensor mount by using the tube cutter to
cut off the end of the tube (at least 1 cm from the end). When the new part is installed, the end of the
tube will be OK for reconnecting.
NOTE: The cartridge connector ink tubes will have been already disconnected, so ink may run out of
the ink tubes when cutting the ink tubes from the pressure sensor.
11. Unscrew the bottles from the bottle caps by turning the bottles. Do not try to turn the caps.
TIP: When removing the ink circuit module assembly, you are recommended to remove the air tubes
with their bottle caps from the printer and then reuse the bottle caps for the installation, as it is easier
to cut and install the air tubes out of the Ink System Module assembly.
13. Unroute the air tube cables so that the ink circuit module can be removed from the Ink System Module.
14. Disconnect the ink leakage detector cable and unroute it enough to free the ink circuit module
assembly.

Installation
1. Place the quick connector on its panel support.
4. Route back and connect all the cables from both ISS PCAs (A and B) to their correct places.
5. For each color, install the tube coming from the ink cartridge connector to the ink pressure mount
assembly.
CAUTION: When connecting the tubes, use a pushing motion, do not twist the tubes into place as this
can cause damage to the tubes, subsequently causing air leaks.
If an ink pressure board is already installed, remove it, as it does not have ink pressure calibration
values. Put back the previous ink pressure sensor PCAs, making sure you do not mismatch them.
NOTE: You are recommended to take note of the new pressure sensor PCA values, as they are needed
for the pressure sensor calibration.
13. When reconnecting the ink tubes to the pressure sensor board, ensure that both pressure values in all
ink lines connected to that pressure sensor board are within a maximum of 10% error (compared to the
initial pressures). If any ink pressure value is further than 10% from the initial value, purge the air from
the ink line using the purge kit.
14. Perform the air pressure system diagnostic test to check that it works correctly.

P2 Data cable between motor drive PCAs, e-box to WW cable for Z Q6703-50031 or CZ056-50157
motor drive PCA (J1, data-in connector)
J1 Data cable, RJ45 jumper for MO motor drive PCA (J2, data-out Q6703-50031 or CZ056–50028
connector)
NOTE: One of the motor drive PCAs will have only one LAN connection. Make sure to connect it to the
right connector when you install the new service part.
NOTE: It is important to follow the steps described in order. These are the procedures required to calibrate
and shim a printhead cleaning module assembly:
1. Check that the calibration and shims have been correctly set. Perform both the printhead cleaner height
check and 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 shimming procedure (in the list above) to correct the
printhead cleaner height and tilt.
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 of
diagnostic is accessible at any user and printer boot modes login.
1. From the Internal Print Server’s main screen, select TOOLS > PRINT CARE > DIAGNOSTIC.
4. The printer starts up the electronics and the various subsystems involved in the calibration.
6. Perform the printhead cleaner check procedure. See Table 5-15 Printhead cleaning on page 368.
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.
As you can see, the delta between wipers is 0.33 mm. This distance is the minimum height that we can
adjust when one module has tilt. The Δ of 0.33 mm corresponds to about 235 e.u. of the engage motor
(MZ).
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.
As we can see the test has 2 strong marks: one at the beginning and the other at the middle of the test.
The test performs 4 wipes before the middle mark and 4 wipes after the middle mark (8 light lines in
total). The printhead cleaning module is best calibrated when lines 5 to 8 are visible and lines 1 to 4 are
not seen.
● ADMISSIBLE: lines 1 &2 not visible and other lines (3 to 8) are visible
● BEST:
Summary:
This next image shows a module with the two last lines that are not dark enough (lines 1 to 6 not visible
at all). Note that even line 7 is still very weak. This means the module is too low and needs to be
recalibrated.
Example #2:
The following picture shows a module that we can see all the lines (line 1 to 8). This means the module
is too high (excessive interference with printhead). The module needs to be recalibrated.
This picture shows a module perfectly calibrated (lines 1 to 4 not visible and lines 5 to 8 are visible).
When the test is finished, the diagnostic screen shows at the right the diferential values of the e.u.of the
each mark. The interference value between the roller blade and the printheads (h +4 mm) is defined
from the top line, this value is in the internal memory of the printer (NVM), and the screen show it as
“Printhead cleaning engage offset for fly-by wipe:”.
The normal range of this value is between 10500 & 13500 e.u. The e.u. units of each line is in the screen
show it as “Printing line corresponding to offset:” This offset is 0.33 mm or 238 e.u. from the
interference value.
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
▲ Tilt assessment:
NOTE: By default, the printhead cleaning system comes with one shim located on each slide mount (front
and rear).
In the next image we can see a totally miscalibrated module. We count 6 incomplete marks (lines 1 to 6, is
still not 100% complete either). This module requires height calibration and one more shim.
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:
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 (h +4 mm), and it will adjust the e.u. if necessary. The e.u. value will be defined
for each increment of 0.33 mm between lines. 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.
1. From the Internal Print Server, navigate to Carriage beam position and Move to home position to lower
the carriage beam all the way. If you cannot start the printer in the normal way due to failure, use
diagnostic mode.
3. Open the printhead cleaning roll door and remove the subsystem.
4. Pull out the printhead cleaning roll carriage, and remove the front screws of the side wipe guide
assembly as shown in the following picture.
The printhead cleaner assembly has by default a shim of 0.5 mm in both sides (front and rear), these
shims have been installed in the top line. It is possible that some module has not installed any shim
somewhere, this due to the top line shimming process.
When we remove a shim from one side of the printhead cleaner assembly, the assembly goes up on this
side; if we add a shim on one side, the assembly goes down on this side.
The side that we must loosen depends on the results of the tilt check. Do not remove the screws.
7. Slide up the slide mount assembly. Insert or remove a shim, depending on the tilt check and calibration
procedure, between the central cage and the slide mount, as indicated below.
8. Repeat the Printhead cleaner check to check that the shimming process and height have been correctly
set.
The following cables are located on the rear right of the printhead cleaning assembly.
NOTE: Notice that this cable is used also in other subassemblies such as the service station.
1. Disconnect the capping in T extensor power cable from the air connector, the motor drive PCA (J3
connector), and the motor drive (MA, MZ, MI, or MO motor). See Subsystem block diagrams on page 61.
IMPORTANT: When installing new cables, leave some free loops of cable to allow the printhead cleaning
assembly to move along the guide without tightening the cables.
CAUTION: When installing new cables, do not stretch the flanges too much, to avoid breaking the cables.
1. Disconnect the printhead cleaning power in T cable. See Subsystem block diagrams on page 61.
TIP: You are recommended to label the cables to avoid swapping or wrongly connecting the air

2. Disconnect the motor encoder cable from the motor drive PCA and the motor assembly (J4 connector).
CAUTION: This cable brings within the motor drive PCA address, so it is important when connecting the
cable to cut the jumper cables (see the illustration below) in order to assign the jumper addresses
correctly to each motor drive PCA.
NOTE: The illustration below is an example of a motor drive PCA address assignment. The red jumper
is cut, so it is a MI motor drive PCA.
2. Remove the rear right panel. See Rear right panel assembly on page 624.
4. Remove the two T-20 screws that secure the motor to the plate.
TIP: If it is difficult to remove, you can loosen the transmission screws so that it will be easier to

Call Me @HP is a remote troubleshooting tool embedded in the Print Care software, which enables customers
to obtain support remotely without the need of a service visit.
● The customer opens a case at the HP Call Center (available only if the customer is supported by HP).
● The customer calls for support and is asked by a remote agent to open a Call Me @HP session in order to
resolve the problem more quickly.
NOTE: If the customer is supported by an HP-authorized partner, the reseller engineer needs to be on site
and logged in as ‘Engineer’ in Print Care to open a Call Me @HP session.
Once the Call Me @HP session is started, remote agents can use the following tools:
● Videostreaming
Call Me @HP can be used for remote troubleshooting in many different ways. Here are some examples:
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons, diagnostic tests cannot be printed or launched remotely. The front door
must be open to take full control of the built-in computer remotely.
Call Me @HP must be configured during printer installation. The default configuration done at the
factory is for customers supported by a channel partner. This mode allows the creation of a Call Me@HP
session, but only if the HP-authorized representative is at the customer site and logged in as ‘Engineer’
in Print Care.
If the customer is supported by HP directly, a specific configuration must be done during printer
installation, by running a software application provided with the service documentation at the end of
the printer’s technical training course.
NOTE: For the changes to take effect, the Internal Print Server must be restarted after running the
Call Me @HP configuration tool.
NOTE: If the HP-authorized partner can prove remote capabilities and is interested in providing
remote support with Call Me @HP, this can be done only on request, and special approval, training, and
setup from HP is needed. Contact your HP partner manager if you would like to have further information
about this option.
NOTE: Remember that a Call Me @HP functionality test is mandatory during printer installation.
Go to the Internal Print Server, select Tools > Preferences, and check that the remote assistance option
is enabled.
NOTE: To enable remote assistance, the customer must accept a Data Transfer Agreement with HP.
Specific network settings are needed for Print Care and Call Me @HP. If a Call Me @HP session cannot be
started, the most likely reason is that the network settings are not correct. The requirements are as

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.
● A: Move the printer to a new site (transport temperature below 5°C/41°F) on page 911 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) on page 935 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) on page 936 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) on page 937 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.
