ENWW Basic operation 5

Formatter-control system
The formatter performs the following functions:
● Controls Sleep mode
● Receives and processes print data from the various product interfaces
● Monitors control-panel functions and relays product-status information (through the control panel and
the network or the bidirectional interface)
● Develops and coordinates data placement and timing with the DC controller
● Stores font information
● Communicates with the host computer through the network or the bidirectional interface
The formatter receives a print job from the network or the bidirectional interface and separates it into image
information and instructions that control the printing process. The DC controller synchronizes the image-
formation system with the paper-input and -output systems, and then signals the formatter to send the
print-image data.
The formatter also provides the electrical interface and mounting locations for one memory DIMM, the hard
disk drive or solid state module memory device, and the optional analog fax accessory.
Formatter hardware
The formatter system includes the following components.
Table 1-3 Formatter hardware components
Component Function
Microprocessor Stores fonts and microprocessor control programs
Random access memory (RAM) Stores printing and font information and temporarily stores print-image data before sending it to
the product. RAM data is lost when the product is turned off.
Nonvolatile random access Stores configuration information. NVRAM data is saved when the product is turned off.
memory (NVRAM)
USB Sends and receives data through a USB type B interface connector (connected to the host
computer)
Hard-disk drive (HDD)

Stores the firmware. A remote firmware upgrade process overwrites and upgrades the firmware
on the HDD or SSM.
Solid-state module (SSM)
Real time clock The Wake-up time feature uses this clock. It includes a battery to supply power when the product
is turned off.
HP Jetdirect Inside (JDI) JDI is an Ethernet interface that is part of the formatter.
Sleep mode
NOTE: In the General Settings menu (a submenu of the Administration menu), this item is termed Sleep
Timer Settings.

This feature conserves power after the product has been idle for an adjustable period of time. When the
product is in Sleep mode, the product retains all settings, downloaded fonts, and macros. The default setting
is for Sleep mode to be enabled, and the product enters Sleep mode after a 30-minute idle time.
The product firmware uses a combination of timers and Sleep settings to control when the product enters a
different state as well as what states the product will enter. The available states are listed below, in
descending order, from using the most power to using the least power:
● Active: The product control panel is fully illuminated. The power button light is illuminated.
● Shallow suspend: The product control panel is dim and the content is grayed out, but is still readable.
The power button light is illuminated.
● Suspend: The product control panel is off (blacked out). The power button light blinks once every three
seconds.
● Deep suspend: The product control panel is off (blacked out). The power button light blinks once every
three seconds. The control panel and power button appearance is the same in this state as the suspend
state. However, the product is drawing less than 1 watt of power in the deep suspend state (as opposed
to 6 watts of power in the suspend state).
● Off: This state is entered by pressing the power button or removing power from the product. The power
button light is not illuminated.
The product exits Sleep mode and enters the warm-up cycle when any of the following events occur:
● The product receives a print job, valid data, or a PML or PJL command.
● A control-panel button is pressed or the touchscreen is touched.
● A cover or door is opened.
● The engine-test switch is pressed.
● A paper tray, other than Tray 1, is opened.
NOTE: If the product is in the deep suspend state, opening a paper tray will not cause the product to
exit Sleep mode.
NOTE: Product error messages override the Sleep message. The product enters Sleep mode at the
appropriate time, but the error message continues to appear.
TIP: When the product is in Sleep mode, the sub-power supply is off and the low-voltage power supply is
on. The scanner cannot be used when the product is in Sleep mode.
ENWW Formatter-control system 7

Input/output (I/O)
The product has three I/O interfaces:
● Hi-Speed USB 2.0
● 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN connection with IPv4 and IPv6
● Easy-access USB printing (no computer required)
CPU
The formatter incorporates an 800 MHz processor.
Memory
This section describes the product random access memory (RAM).
Random access memory (RAM)
RAM on the formatter contains the page, I/O buffers, and the font storage area. It stores printing and font
information received from the host system, and can also serve to temporarily store a full page of print-image
data before the data is sent to the product. The contents of RAM are lost when the product is turned off.
NOTE: If the product encounters a problem when managing available memory, a clearable warning
message displays on the control-panel display.
Firmware
The hard-disk drive (HDD) or solid-state module (SSM) store the firmware. A remote firmware upgrade
process overwrites and upgrades the firmware on the HDD or SSM.
Nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM)

NVRAM on the formatter stores product and user configuration settings. The contents of NVRAM are retained
when the product is turned off or disconnected.
Image Resolution Enhancement technology

NOTE: Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) settings that are sent from software programs or product
drivers override the control-panel settings.
The formatter contains circuitry for REt, which modifies the standard video dot data on its way to the DC
controller to produce “smoothed” line edges. REt can be turned on or off from the control panel or from some
software programs. The default setting is on.
REt produces print output with smooth angles, curves, and edges. All print resolutions, including FastRes
1200, benefit from using REt.
● ProRes 1200: produces 1200 dpi printing for the best quality in-line art and graphic images.
● FastRes 1200: produces 1200 dpi print quality for fast, high-quality printing of business text and
graphics.

HP Memory Enhancement technology
The HP Memory Enhancement technology (MEt) effectively doubles the amount of standard memory through
a variety of font- and data-compression methods.
NOTE: MEt is available only in when printing in printer command language (PCL) mode. It is not functional
when printing in PostScript (PS) mode.
Printer job language (PJL)

PJL is an integral part of product configuration, in addition to the standard printer command language (PCL)
and PostScript (PS). With standard cabling, the product can use PJL to perform a variety of functions, such as
these:
● Two-way communication with the host computer through a network connection or a USB device
port: The product can inform the host about the control-panel settings, and the control-panel settings
can be changed from the host.
● Dynamic I/O switching: The product uses this switching to be configured with a host on each I/O. The
product can receive data from more than one I/O simultaneously, until the I/O buffer is full. This can
occur even when the product is offline.
● Context-sensitive switching: The product can automatically recognize the personality (PS or PCL) of
each job and configure itself to serve that personality.
● Isolation of print environment settings from one print job to the next: For example, if a print job is
sent to the product in landscape mode, the subsequent print jobs print in landscape only if they are
formatted for landscape printing.
Printer management language (PML)

PML allows remote configuration of the product and status read-back from the product through the I/O
ports.
Control panel
The control panel is a 20.3 cm (8 in) full-color SVGA with capacitive touchscreen and adjustable viewing
angle. It includes an easy-access USB port for walk-up printing and a hardware integration pocket for third-
party USB devices, such as card readers.
The control panel has a diagnostic mode to allow testing of the touchscreen, Home button, and speaker. The
control panel does not require calibration.
The M630z model has a QWERTY retractable keyboard beneath the control panel. The keys are mapped to a
specific language in the same way the virtual keyboard on the product control panel is mapped. Selecting a
different keyboard layout for the virtual keyboard remaps the keys on the physical keyboard to match the
new settings.
Scanner interface
The formatter receives data from the scanner to produce copies and to send scanned data in email format.

Motors
The product has nine motors. The motors drive the components in the paper-feed and image-formation
systems.
The DC controller monitors the feed motor, drum motor, and fuser motor to determine motor failure. The DC
controller does not detect motor failure in the intermediate reverse assembly motor, the reverse assembly
motor, the delivery motor, or the duplex re-pickup motor. Therefore, a jam occurs when one of these motors
fails.

Overcurrent/overvoltage protection
The low-voltage power supply automatically stops supplying the DC voltage to the product components
whenever it detects excessive current or abnormal voltage. The low-voltage power supply has a protective
circuit against overcurrent and overvoltage to prevent failures in the power supply circuit.
CAUTION: If DC voltage is not being supplied from the low-voltage power supply, the protective function
might be running. In this case, turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord.
Do not turn the power switch on until the root cause is found and corrected.
If the protective function is active, the DC controller notifies the formatter of a low-voltage power supply
failure. In addition, the low-voltage power supply has two fuses (FU1 and FU2) to protect against over-
current. If over-current flows into the AC line, the fuses stop the AC power.
Voltage detection
The product detects the power supply voltage that is connected to the product. The DC controller monitors
the POWERSUPPLY VOLTAGE (/AC200) signal and detects power supply voltage, whether 100 volts or 200
volts, to control the fuser operation. The DC controller determines a low-voltage power supply failure and
notifies the formatter when the power supply voltage is out of a specified range.
Safety
For personal safety, the product interrupts +24VB power when the interlock switch is turned off. As a result,
the DC voltage to the following components stops. See Table 1-6 Converted DC voltages on page 16.
● Low-voltage power supply
● High-voltage power supply
● Fuser motor (M299)
● Laser scanner fan (FN102)
● Cartridge front-side fan (FN103)
● Reverse fan (FN105)
● Cartridge fan (FN301)

WARNING! The remote switch control circuit turns the product power on or off such that AC power flows
even when the power switch is turned off. Unplug the power cord before disassembling the product.
Sleep (power save) mode

Sleep mode conserves energy by stopping the power to several components when the product is idle. The DC
controller determines a low-voltage power supply failure and notifies the formatter if the power supply of
+24 volts is lower than a specified value when the product exits Sleep mode and enters the standby period.

The DC controller detects the fuser temperature by monitoring the FUSER TEMPERATURE (FSRTH1 and
FSRTH2) signals. The DC controller outputs the FUSER HEATER CONTROL (FSRD1 and FSRD2) signals, so that
the fuser heater control circuit controls the fuser heater accordingly.

Fuser sleeve temperature protection
Fuser heater protection is a feature that detects excessive temperatures in the fuser and interrupts the
power supply to the fuser heater.
The following three protective components prevent the fuser heater from reaching excessive temperatures:
● DC controller: The DC controller monitors the detected temperature of the thermistors. The DC
controller deactivates the FUSER HEATER CONTROL signal and releases the relays (RL101 and RL102) to
interrupt power supply to the fuser heater when it detects an excessive temperature.
● Fuser heater safety circuit: The fuser heater safety circuit monitors the detected temperature of the
thermistors. The fuser heater safety circuit deactivates the FUSER HEATER CONTROL signal and
releases the relays (RL101 and RL102) to interrupt power supply to the fuser heater when it detects an
excessive temperature.
● Thermoswitch: If the temperature of the fuser heater is abnormally high, the contact of the
thermoswitch breaks to interrupt power supply to the fuser heater.
Fuser failure detection

The DC controller determines if the fuser functions properly. The DC controller determines a fuser failure,
interrupts power supply to the fuser heater, and notifies the formatter of a failure status when it encounters
any of following conditions:
● Abnormal temperature rise
◦ The main thermistor does not detect 15°C (59°F) or higher within a specified period of time from
when the fuser heater is turned on.
◦ The main thermistor does not detect 100°C (212°F) or higher within a specified period of time from
when the fuser heater is turned on.
◦ The main thermistor does not detect targeted temperature minus 5°C (41°F) within a specified
period of time from when the fuser heater is turned on.
● Abnormally low temperature
◦ The main thermistor detects 49°C (120.2°F) or lower continuously for a specified period of time
after it once detects 100°C (212°F) or higher.
◦ The main thermistor detects targeted temperature minus specified degrees or lower continuously
for a specified period of time after the TOP signal for the first page is output.
◦ The sub-thermistor detects 49°C (120.2°F) or lower continuously for a specified period of time
after it once detects 100°C (212°F) or higher.
● Abnormally high temperature
◦ The main thermistor detects 255°C (491°F) or higher.
◦ The sub-thermistor detects 285°C (545°F)or higher.
● Frequency detection circuit failure
◦ The ZEROCROSS signal is not detected within a specified period of time after the product is turned
on.
● Fuser-presence detection

The DC controller determines if the fuser is installed in the product and notifies the formatter when it
detects the fuser is absent. The DC controller detects fuser presence from the FUSER PRESENCE (/
FUSERARI) signal when any of the following occurs:
◦ The product is turned on.
◦ The door is closed.
Pressure roller cleaning

The formatter periodically initiates the pressure roller cleaning function to clear the toner accumulated on
the pressure roller surface by transferring it to a piece of paper. Following is the operational sequence of
pressure roller cleaning:
1. The DC controller initiates picking a sheet of paper from the designated input source when it receives
the cleaning command from the formatter.
2. The fuser motor repeatedly drives-and-stops at a specified interval when the trailing edge of the paper
passes through the transfer roller. The fuser heater is turned on-and-off at the same time.
3. The fuser fuses the toner adhered to the pressure roller surface onto the paper; thus, cleaning the
pressure roller.
4. The paper with the fused toner exits the product.
Ambient-temperature detection
The product contains an environmental sensor (TH3) that measures the air temperature of the surrounding
environment. The product automatically adjusts the temperature settings in the fuser to adjust for changes
in the ambient temperature.

Laser/scanner system
The DC controller controls the laser scanner system according to commands from the formatter. The DC
controller controls the internal components in the laser scanner system to form a latent electrostatic image
on the photosensitive drum according to the VIDEO signals.
The following are the main components of the laser scanner system:
● Laser assembly
● Scanner motor assembly
● Beam Detect (BD) sensor
● Scanning mirror
● BD mirror

Laser/scanner failure
The DC controller determines an optical unit failure and notifies the formatter of the error status when any of
the following occurs:
● Beam Detect (BD) failure: The BD signal is not detected within a specified period of time from when the
laser/scanner starts. Or, a specified BD interval is not detected within a specified period of time from
when the laser/scanner is ready.
● Laser/scanner motor startup failure: The scanner motor does not reach a specified rotation frequency
within a specified period of time from when the laser/scanner starts up.
● Laser/scanner motor abnormal rotation: The laser/scanner motor does not reach a specified
rotational frequency within a specified period of time during a print operation.
Safety
The laser/scanner assembly has a mechanical laser shutter. For the safety of users and service technicians,
the laser shutter interrupts the optical path of the laser/scanner assembly when the top door is opened
(SW101).
ENWW Laser/scanner system 23

Image-formation system
The DC controller controls the image-formation system according to commands from the formatter. The DC
controller controls the internal components of the image-formation system to form the toner image on the
photosensitive drum surface, transfer the image to the paper, and then fuse it to the paper.
The following are the main components of the image-formation system:
● Toner cartridge
● Transfer roller
● Fuser
● Laser/scanner assembly
● Engine power supply

Step 1: Primary charge (conditioning)
The primary-charging roller in the toner cartridge applies a uniform negative charge to the surface of the
drum. The primary-charging roller is made of conductive rubber. An AC bias applied to the roller erases any
residual charges from any previous image. The charging roller applies a negative DC bias to create a uniform
negative potential on the drum surface.
Figure 1-15 1. Primary charge (conditioning)
Primary charging roller
Primary charging bias
Photosensitive drum
Step 2: Laser-beam exposure (writing)

Two laser diodes project laser beams onto a rotating scanning mirror. As the mirror rotates, the beams
reflect off of the mirror, first through a set of focusing lenses, then off a mirror, and finally through a slot in
the top of the toner cartridge, and onto the photosensitive drum. The twin beams sweep the drum from left
to right, discharging the negative potential wherever the beams strike the surface. This creates a latent
electrostatic image, which later is developed into a visible image.
Figure 1-16 2. Laser-beam exposure (writing)
Laser beam
Photosensitive drum

Step 3: Developing
At this stage of the process, the latent electrostatic image is present on the drum. The toner particles obtain
a negative surface charge by rubbing against the developing cylinder, which is connected to a negative DC
supply. The discharged (exposed, grounded) areas of the drum attract the negatively charged toner, and the
negatively charged (unexposed) areas repel the toner.
Figure 1-17 3. Developing
Developer blade
Developing roller
Developing bias
Photosensitive drum
Step 4: Transfer
During the transfer process, the toner image on the drum surface transfers to the paper. The transfer
charging roller applies a positive charge to the back of the paper, which attracts the negatively charged toner
on the drum surface to the paper.

Step 5: Separation
During the separating process, the paper separates from the drum. To stabilize the feed system and to
prevent dropouts on the printed image at low temperature and humidity, the static-charge eliminator
reduces the charge on the back of the paper.

Step 6: Fusing
During the fusing process, heat and pressure fuse the toner to the paper in order to produce a permanent
image. The paper passes between a heated fuser element and a soft pressure roller. This melts the toner and
presses it into the paper.

Step 7: Drum cleaning
The cleaning blade is in contact with the surface of the drum at all times. As the drum rotates during printing,
the cleaning blade scrapes excess toner into the waste-toner receptacle.

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

The DC controller performs the following functions related to both detecting the presence of the toner
cartridge and determining the remaining life of the cartridge:
● Cartridge presence detection: The DC controller detects the presence of the cartridge by monitoring
the cartridge sensor (PS115) when both of the following occur:

◦ The product is turned on.
◦ The door is closed.
The DC controller notifies the formatter when it detects the cartridge is missing.
● Toner level detection: The DC controller detects the remaining toner in the cartridge according to the
TONER LEVEL signal, and then notifies the formatter of the remaining toner level.
● Cartridge life detection: The DC controller detects the cartridge life by monitoring the total operating
time or remaining toner level of the toner cartridge. The DC controller determines a cartridge is at the
end of life and notifies the formatter when total operating time of the cartridge reaches a specified
period of time or the cartridge runs out of toner.

Pickup, feed, and delivery system
The DC controller controls the pickup, feed, and delivery system according to commands from the formatter.
This system consists of three parts:
● The pickup-and-feed block encompasses the paper path from each tray to the fuser entrance.
● The fusing, reverse, and delivery block encompasses the paper path from the fuser entrance to the
output device.
● The duplex block emcompasses the paper path to reverse the paper in the duplex reverse area for two-
sided printing

Tray 2 paper-size detection and tray-present detection
The DC controller determines the size of the paper loaded in Tray 2 and also whether the tray is installed in
the product by monitoring the Tray 2 media size switch. The DC controller notifies the formatter when the
detected paper size does not match the size specified by the formatter or if the tray is absent.
The Tray 2 media size switch contains three sub-switches. The DC controller detects the size of the paper and
the presence of the tray based on the combination of the switches.

Tray 2 lift operation
The Tray 2 lift operation keeps the paper stack surface at the correct pickup position.
The DC controller detects the position of the stack surface by monitoring the Tray 2 media stack surface
sensors under the following conditions:
● When the product is turned on
● When the tray is inserted
● When the paper stack surface in the tray lowers

The sequence of the Tray 2 lift operation is as follows:
1. The DC controller rotates the Tray 2 lifter motor.
2. The lifter moves up.
3. The tray lifter motor stops when the tray media stack surface sensor 2 detects the paper stack surface.
4. The tray lifter motor rotates again when the tray media stack surface sensor 1 detects that the paper
stack surface lowers.
NOTE: The DC controller determines a tray lifter motor failure and notifies the formatter if the tray
media stack surface sensor 1 or sensor 2 does not detect the paper stack surface within a specified
period of time after the tray lifter motor starts rotating.
Tray 2 paper-presence detection

The DC controller detects the presence of paper in Tray 2 by monitoring the Tray 2 media presence sensor.
When this sensor does not detect paper in the tray, the DC controller notifies the formatter.

Tray 2 multiple-feed prevention
In Tray 2, the separation roller prevents multiple sheets of paper from entering the paper path. The Tray 2
pickup roller drives the separation roller through a sheet of paper.
The rotation of the Tray 2 feed roller through the sheet drives the separation roller. Because the feed roller is
equipped with a torque limiter, only one sheet feeds into the product.
The low friction force between the sheets weakens the driving force from the Tray 2 feed roller. Therefore,
the separation roller is driven by its own driving force and holds back any multiply-fed sheets from the
cassette.

The operational sequence of picking one sheet of paper from Tray 1 is as follows:
1. The DC controller rotates the feed motor when it receives a print command from the formatter.
2. The Tray 1 pickup solenoid drives at a specified timing.
3. The Tray 1 pickup roller rotates.
4. The Tray 1 pickup cam rotates and the lifting plate moves up.
5. The Tray 1 pickup roller touches the surface of the top sheet of paper.
6. The Tray 1 separation roller removes any multiply-fed sheets.
7. One sheet of paper feeds into the product.
NOTE: Multiple-feed prevention for Tray 1 is the same mechanism as that for Tray 2. See Tray 2
multiple-feed prevention on page 42

Tray 1 paper-presence detection
The DC controller detects the presence of paper in Tray 1 by monitoring the Tray 1 media presence sensor
during the initial rotation period when the product is turned on or when the product exits Sleep mode.
Feed speed control

The feed speed control adjusts the feed speed to improve the print quality depending upon the paper type.
The DC controller feeds the paper at a specified speed, depending on the print mode designated by the
formatter.

OHT 1/2 1/2

Skew-feed prevention
The product can straighten the paper without slowing the feed operation. The operational sequence of skew-
feed prevention is as follows:
1. The leading edge of paper strikes the registration shutter, and the leading edge aligns with the shutter.
2. As the feed rollers keep pushing the paper, the paper warps.
3. When the force is great enough, the registration shutter opens, and the paper passes through and
straightens.

Paper-length detection
The DC controller determines the paper length by measuring the time between when the leading edge of the
paper reaches the TOP sensor and when the trailing edge passes through.
The DC controller determines a paper size mismatch and notifies the formatter in one of the following
conditions:
● The detected paper size is different from the size designated by the formatter.
● The detected paper size is different from the size detected by the Tray 2 media size switch (only when
printing from Tray 2).
Paper-width detection
The DC controller determines the paper width by analyzing the combination of media width sensor readings.
The DC controller determines a paper size mismatch and notifies the formatter in one of the following
conditions:
● The detected paper size is different from the size designated by the formatter.
● The detected paper size is different from the size detected by the Tray 2 media size switch (only when
printing from Tray 2).

The operational sequence of the pressure roller pressurization and depressurization control is as follows:
1. The DC controller reverses the fuser motor.
2. The fuser pressure release cam rotates.
3. The pressure roller is pressurized or depressurized against the fuser sleeve, depending on the position
of the fuser pressure release cam.
NOTE: The DC controller determines a fuser pressure release mechanism failure and notifies the
formatter if the fuser pressure release sensor does not detect the depressurized condition within a
specified period of time from when the fuser motor starts reverse rotation.

Reverse and delivery control
After the toner is fused to the paper, the paper enters the reversing/delivery unit. The product can deliver the
paper to the output bin either face-up or face-down, depending on instructions from the formatter.

2. The side registration guide drive cam rotates and the duplex side registration sensor (PS109) detects
the home position of the duplex side registration guide.
3. The side registration guide moves, depending upon the paper size.
4. The DC controller stops the duplex re-pickup motor and completes the side registration guide
movement.
NOTE: The DC controller determines a duplex side registration guide failure and notifies the formatter
when the duplex side registration sensor does not detect the home position of the duplex side
registration guide after the duplex side registration guide drive cam rotates twice.

Jam detection
NOTE: The product senses a jam condition when paper in the paper path does not trigger the required
sensor or sensors within a specific amount of time.
TIP: For information about individual sensor tests, see the manual sensor test and tray/bin sensor test
sections of the troubleshooting manual.
The product uses the following sensors to detect the presence of paper and to check whether paper is
feeding correctly or has jammed:
● Pre-feed sensor (PS102)
● Top-of-page (TOP) sensor (PS103)
● Media width sensor 1 (PS106)
● Media width sensor 2 (PS108)
● Reverse sensor (PS110)
● Reverse jam sensor (PS111)
● Paper-delivery sensor (PS112)
● Duplex re-pickup sensor (PS113)
● Fuser-delivery sensor (PS700)
● Tray 3 media feed sensor (SR4) (for 1x500 sheet paper feeder, 1x500 sheet paper feeder with cabinet,
and 2,500-sheet high-capacity paper feeder)
● Tray 4 media feed sensor (SR8) (for 2,500-sheet high-capacity paper feeder)
● Tray 5 media feed sensor (SR12) (for 2,500-sheet high-capacity paper feeder)
The DC controller checks for jams by timing the paper as it moves past these sensors. If the paper does not
pass the sensor in a specific period of time, the DC controller stops the transport process (the motors are
turned off and the rollers no longer rotate) and a jam message displays on the control panel.

Scanning/image capture system
NOTE: Figures in this section might look slightly different from your product, but they are correct for the
M630. All the information provided in this section is correct for this product.
Scanner
The scanner is a carriage-type platen scanner which includes the frame, glass, scan module, and a scanner
control board (SCB). The scanner has a sensor to detect legal-sized media and a switch to indicate when the
document feeder is opened.
The document feeder and control panel are attached to the scanner. If the scanner fails, it can be replaced as
a whole unit. The scanner replacement part does not include the document feeder, control panel, or SCB.
Document feed system

This section describes the following:
● Sensors in the document feeder
● Document feeder paper path
● Simplex single-pass scanning
● Electronic duplexing (e-duplex) single-pass scanning
● Front-side and back-side background selector
● Deskew operation
● Document feeder hinges
The product supports single-pass electronic duplexing (e-duplex) copy jobs. Two separate scan modules scan
the front-side and back-side of an e-duplex copy job page in a single pass through the document feeder.
For specific copy jobs, a background selector changes the reflective platen from a white strip to a black strip
for page edge-to-edge recognition.
Sensors in the document feeder

The document feeder contains the following sensors:
● ADF paper present sensor: Detects whether a document is present in the document feeder. If paper is
present in the document feeder when copies are made, the product scans the document using the
document feeder. If no paper is present when copies are made, the product scans the document using
the scanner glass.
● ADF Y (length) sensor: Detects whether a legal-size original is present in the document feeder.
● ADF jam cover sensor: Detects whether the document feeder cover is open or closed.
● ADF paper path deskew sensor: Detects the top of the page as it enters the deskew rollers.
● ADF paper path pick success sensor: Detects a successful one page feed from the document feeder
tray.
NOTE: This sensor uses ultrasonic sound to detect a mutli-page paper feed.

Document feeder simplex operation

Following is the basic sequence of operation for a document feeder simplex job.
1. The ADF jam cover sensor detects when the cover door is in the closed position.
2. The ADF paper present sensor activates when paper is loaded onto the input tray.
3. The pick motor rotates to lower the pick roller and starts to pick the loaded paper.
4. The ADF multi-pick (ultrasonic) sensor activates when the leading edge of the media is driven past the
sensor. The product firmware registers a successful pick operation.
5. The ADF paper path deskew activates when the leading edge of the paper passes it. The product
firmware registers the leading edge of the paper position.

6. The leading edge of the paper drives into the nip point of the deskew drive roller and the deskew pinch
rollers. This creates a buckle of paper by the nip point for pick-skew correction.
7. The deskew motor rotates the deskew drive roller to pull the paper into the prescan drive roller.
8. The pick motor stops turning and allows both the pick and feed roller to turn freely while the paper is
pulled in by the deskew drive roller.
9. The feed motor rotates to drive the paper into the prescan front-side sensor. The firmware registers the
leading edge position of the paper as the multi-pick sensor activates.
NOTE: If the copy job requires a reflective platen change, the front-side background selector
activates.
10. The feed motor continues to rotate and drive the leading edge of the paper through the preset distance
from the multi-pick sensor to the front-side scan zone. The scanner begins the scanning and data
retrieval process.
11. The ADF multi-pick (ultrasonic) sensor deactivates when the trailing edge of the paper passes the
sensor. The firmware registers the trailing edge of the paper position.
12. The feed motor continues to rotate and drive the trailing edge of the paper through the preset distance
from the ADF multi-pick (ultrasonic) sensor to the front-side scan zone. The scanner ends the scanning
and data retrieval process.
13. The feed motor continues to rotate and ejects the trailing edge of the paper into the output bin.
14. One of the following occurs:
● If the copy job is complete, the ADF paper present sensor deactivates. The feed motor reverses
rotation to raise the pick roller.
● If the copy job is not complete, the ADF paper present sensor is active. The product firmware
detects additional pages in the input tray and the process repeats.
Document feeder e-duplex operation

Following is the basic sequence of operation for an e-duplex job.
NOTE: For an e-duplex copy job, the background scan operation begins immediately after the simplex
sequence of operation ends.
1. The feed motor continues to drive the paper until the leading edge activates the prescan back-side
sensor. The product firmware registers the position of the leading edge of the paper.
NOTE: If the copy job requires a reflective platen change, the back-side background selector activates.
2. The feed motor continues to rotate to drive the leading edge of the paper through the preset distance
from prescan back-side sensor to the back-side background selector scan zone. The back-side
background scan module begins scanning and retrieval of the data.
3. The prescan back-side sensor deactivates when the trailing edge of the paper passes it. The product
firmware registers the trailing edge of the paper position.
4. The feed motor continues to rotate to drive the trailing edge of the paper edge past the back-side
background selector scan zone.

5. The feed motor continues to rotate and ejects the trailing edge of the paper into the output bin.
6. One of the following occurs:
● If the copy job is complete, the ADF paper present sensor deactivates. The feed motor reverses
rotation to raise the pick roller.
● If the copy job is not complete, the ADF paper present sensor is active. The product firmware
detects additional pages in the input tray and the process repeats.
Front-side and back-side background selector

NOTE: The product automatically controls the operation of the front-side and back-side background
selectors.
The background selectors change the reflective surface behind a duplex or simplex scanned page from white
to black. Doing so allows the firmware to recognize the edges of a scanned page by passing it over a black
background.
The product uses the background selectors for specific scan jobs. Scan jobs like optical character recognition
(OCR) and scan-to-folder require a black reflective background so that the firmware can correctly scan the
page from edge-to-edge.
The front-side background selector is a non-removable component of the document feeder. The back-side
background selector assembly is located under the document feeder input tray and is removable to allow
access for cleaning the back-side scan module glass.

Deskew operation
Sliding side guides on the input tray make sure that the paper stack is correctly aligned at the center of the
input tray when paper is loaded in the tray. The correct position of the loaded paper is parallel with the
direction of travel into the document feeder paper path.
The document feeder further reduces paper skew due to improper loading of paper in the input tray by
buckling the paper to create a paper buffer.
The document feeder aligns the leading edge of the paper parallel with the deskew drive rollers before it is
driven further into the document feeder paper path.
The stack-height limiter prevents incorrect insertion of the paper and limits the maximum amount (stacking
height) of media that can be loaded on the input tray.

2 Stack-height limiter

Document feeder hinges
The document feeder hinges allow positioning the assembly vertically above the scanner glass to
accommodate the placement of books and other objects up to 40 mm (1.57 in) in height on the scanner glass.
The document feeder still closes (the bottom of the ADF is kept parallel to the scanner glass) and allows the
product to operate.
The document feeder hinges provide height adjustment of at least 40 mm (1.57 in) when a maximum
downward force of 5 kg (11 lb) is applied at the front edge of the assembly, with the fulcrum (such as the
spine of a book) centered on the scanner glass and parallel to its long axis.
The document feeder will withstand a downward force of at least 15 kg (33 lb) applied at the front edge
center of the assembly—when the fulcrum (such as the spine of a book) is located anywhere on the scanner
glass and parallel to its long axis—without breaking, deforming, detaching or experiencing performance
degradation.
The document feeder hinges support the assembly in the open position and prevent the document feeder
from suddenly closing in a damaging or loud manner.
The hinges can hold the document feeder static in all positions higher than 100 mm (3.93 in) (measured at
the front of the assembly). Less than 2.3 kg (5 lb) of force is required to open or close the document feeder.
The hinges allow the document feeder to open to an angle of between 60º and 80º from the horizontal
position (this angle will not allow the product to tip over).

Failure detection
The stapling mailbox controller detects a motor failure by monitoring a part related to the motor. If the
controller determines a motor failure or motor-related part failure, it notifies the formatter when it
encounters the following conditions:
● Stapler motor: The stapler sensor is not sensed for a specified period of time after the stapler motor
starts rotating.
● Jogger motor: The jogger sensor is not sensed for a specified period of time after the jogger motor
starts rotating.
● Paddle motor: The output bin 3 upper delivery roller sensor is not sensed for a specified period of time
after the paddle motor rotates. The alignment roller sensor is not sensed for a specified period of time
after the paddle motor reverses.
● Stapling mailbox lifter motor: The output bin 3 higher limit sensor or output bin 3 media full sensor is
not sensed for a specified period of time after the stapling mailbox lifter motor rotates. The output bin
3 higher limit sensor, output bin 3 lower limit sensor, or output bin 3 media full sensor is not sensed for
a specified period of time from when the stapling mailbox lifter motor reverses.
Delivery operation
The stapling mailbox has two modes.
● Stacker mode: The printed page is delivered to output bin 3 first and then delivered to the subsequent
output bins.
● Mailbox/job separator mode: The printed page is delivered to the specified output bin for each print
job.
Stapling is available for both modes. All stapled jobs are delivered to the lower bin.
NOTE: The figure below does not show the location of the stapler motor, stapler sensor, staple presence

Staple operation
The staple operation staples 2 to 30 sheets of printed pages together into one set and then delivers it to
output bin 3. This staple operation is available for both stacker mode and mailbox/job separator mode.
The staple sequence is as follows:
1. The stapling mailbox controller rotates the paddle motor to disengage the output bin 3 upper delivery
roller from the output bin 3 lower delivery roller.

2. The stapling mailbox feeds the printed page from the product to the staple tray.

The output bin 3 media full sensor detects whether the bin is full. The stapling mailbox controller
determines that the paper stack surface is high and reverses the stapling mailbox lifter motor to lower
output bin 3 when the output bin 3 media full sensor is on for a specified period of time. If the output
bin 3 lower limit sensor activates at this time, the stapling mailbox controller determines an output bin
3 media full and notifies the formatter through the DC controller.
The stapling mailbox controller determines a jogger motor failure and notifies the formatter through
the DC controller when it does not detect the jogger sensor for a specified period of time after the
jogger motor starts rotating.

Stapler
The stapler consists of the staple cartridge and the stapler assembly. The staple cartridge holds up to 5,000
staples. The staple presence sensor detects the presence of staples. The staple ready sensor detects
whether the stapler is in the correct position to staple. The stapler assembly contains the stapler motor.
When the stapling mailbox controller rotates the stapler motor, the staple arm lowers and the staple
operation begins. The stapler sensor detects the position of the staple arm.

The operational sequence of the output bin 3 lift operation is as follows:
1. The stapling mailbox lifter motor rotates if both the output bin 3 higher limit sensor and the output bin
3 media full sensor are off when the product is turned on until the following conditions occur:
● The output bin 3 higher limit sensor detects the output bin 3.
● The output bin 3 media full sensor detects paper.
The stapling mailbox lifter motor reverses to lower output bin 3 to a specified level if either of the
following occur:
● The output bin 3 higher limit sensor or the output bin 3 media full sensor is on.
● Both the output bin 3 higher limit sensor and the output bin 3 media full sensor are on when the
product is turned on.
2. When the printed pages are stacked in output bin 3, and the output bin 3 media full sensor detects the
paper, the stapling mailbox lifter motor reverses to lower output bin 3 to a specified level.
3. The stapling mailbox controller notifies the formatter through the DC controller when the output bin 3
media full sensor detects paper. Output bin 3 lowers to the position of the output bin 3 lower limit
sensor.
The stapling mailbox controller determines a stapling mailbox lifter motor failure. The controller notifies the
formatter through the DC controller when it encounters the following conditions after the stapling mailbox
lifter motor starts rotating:
● Output bin 3 does not reach the output bin 3 higher limit sensor within a specified period of time.
● The output bin 3 media full sensor does not detect paper.

The stapling mailbox controller also detects a stapling mailbox lifter motor failure and notifies the formatter
through the DC controller when the following sensors are not sensed after the stapling mailbox lifter motor
reverses:
● Output bin 3 higher limit sensor
● Output bin 3 lower limit sensor
● Output bin 3 media full sensor
Stacker mode
Stacker mode does not designate an output bin. It attempts to deliver the printed page to output bin 3 first.
When the output bin 3 media full sensor detects that output bin 3 is full, the stapling mailbox delivers to
output bin 2. When the output bin 2 media full sensor detects that output bin 2 is full, the stapling mailbox
delivers to output bin 1.

Power subsystem
Power-on checks
The basic product functions should start up when the product is connected into an electrical outlet and the
power switch is pushed to the on position. If the product does not start, use the information in this section to
isolate and solve the problem.
If the control panel display remains blank, random patterns display, or asterisks remain on the control panel
display, perform power-on checks to find the cause of the problem.
Power-on troubleshooting overview
During normal operation, a cooling fan begins to spin briefly after the product power is turned on. Place a
hand over the vents in the rear cover, near the formatter. When the fan is correctly operating, air passing out
of the product is felt. Lean close to the product to hear the fan operating. If the fan is operating, the dc side of
the power supply is functioning.
After the fan is operating, the main motor turns on (unless the top cover is open, a jam condition is sensed, or
the paper-path sensors are damaged). Visually and audibly determine that the main motor is turned on.
If the fan and main motor are operating correctly, the next troubleshooting step is to isolate print engine,
formatter, and control panel problems. Perform an engine test. If the formatter is damaged, it might
interfere with the engine test. If the engine-test page does not print, try removing the formatter, and then
performing the engine test again. If the engine test is then successful, the problem is almost certainly with
the formatter, the control panel, or the cable that connects them.
Troubleshooting power on problems
1. Verify that power is available to the product. If the product is plugged into a surge protector or
uniterruptible power supply (UPS), remove it, and then plug the product directly into a known operating
wall receptacle (make sure that the wall receptacle provides the correct voltage and current for the
product).
Unplug any other devices on the same circuit that the product is using.
2. Try another known operating wall receptacle and a different power cord.

3. Listen for startup noises (fans and motors) and illuminated lights on the control panel.
NOTE: Operational fans, motors, and control-panel lights indicate the following:
● AC power is present at the product.
● The low-voltage power supply (LVPS) is providing either or both 24 Vdc and 5 Vdc voltages.
● The DC controller microprocessor is functioning.
4. If startup noises are not heard, check the following:
a. Turn the product off, and then remove the formatter.
b. Turn the product on, and then listen for startup noises. If normal startup noises are heard, go to
step 5.
NOTE: The control panel will be blank with the formatter removed.
c. Turn the product off, and then remove any installed accessories (for example, envelope feeders,
paper feeders, or output accessories).
Turn the product on, and then listen for startup noises. If normal startup noises are heard, the
problem might be with one of the accessories.
d. If normal startup noises and lights are still not present, replace the LVPS.
e. If after replacing the LVPS normal startup noises are still not heard, replace the DC controller.
f. If after replacing the DC controller normal startup noises are still not heard, replace the HVPS.
NOTE: If the error persists after replacing these assemblies, escalate the problem to the Global
Business Unit (GBU).
5. Try printing an engine test page.
a. Use a small pointed object to depress the test-page switch located on the rear of the product.
NOTE: The test page can only use Tray 2 as the paper source, so make sure that paper is loaded
in Tray 2.

b. If the engine test page prints, the print engine is operating normally (a failed engine test print
page does not necessarily indicate that the print engine or DC controller is defective).
NOTE: If the engine test page does not print, turn the product off, remove the formatter, and
then try the engine test again. If the page prints, the problem might be the formatter.
Troubleshooting a blank control panel

A blank control panel display can be caused by by one or more of the following:
● No power to the product.
● Power supply has tripped (over-current/over-voltage/temperature issue).
● Formatter not fully seated.
TIP: The three LEDs on the formatter indicate that the product is functioning correctly.
HP recommends fully troubleshooting the formatter and control panel before replacing either assembly. Use the connectivity
LED to troubleshoot formatter and control panel errors to avoid unnecessarily replacing these assemblies. See the LED
diagnostics section in the product troubleshooting manual.
● Faulty component installed on the formatter (for example, memory DIMM or disk drive).
● Control panel connector not fully seated.
● Faulty formatter.
● Faulty DC controller.
● Faulty control panel.
1. Verify that power is available to the product. If the product is plugged into a surge protector or
uniterruptible power supply (UPS), remove it, and then plug the product directly into a known operating
wall receptacle (make sure that the wall receptacle provides the correct voltage and current for the
product).
2. Make sure that the power switch is in the on position.

3. Make sure that the fan runs briefly, which indicates that the power supply is operational.
4. Make sure that the control-panel display wire harness is connected.
5. Make sure that the formatter is seated and operating correctly. Turn off the product and remove the
formatter. Reinstall the formatter, make sure the power switch is in the on position, and then verify that
the heartbeat LED is blinking and that the connectivity LED is illuminated.
6. Remove any external solutions, and then try to turn the product on again.
7. If the control panel display is blank, but the main cooling fan runs briefly after the product power is
turned on, try printing an engine-test page to determine whether the problem is with the control-panel
display, formatter, or other product assemblies.
a. Remove the formatter.
b. Use a small pointed object to depress the test-page switch located on the rear of the product.
NOTE: The test page can only use Tray 2 as the paper source, so make sure that paper is loaded
in Tray 2.
c. If the engine test page prints, the print engine is operating normally (a failed engine test print
page does not necessarily indicate that the print engine or DC controller is defective).
d. Use the control-panel diagnostics to test the control panel. See the Control panel checks section in
the product troubleshooting manual. If the error persists, proceed to step 8.
8. If the print engine appears to be correctly operating (the engine test page successfully printed) and the
control panel is still blank, replace the low-voltage power supply (LVPS)
9. If after replacing the LVPS normal startup noises and lights are still not present, replace the DC
controller.
NOTE: If the error persists after replacing these assemblies, escalate the problem to the Global
Business Unit (GBU).

1 Heartbeat LED
2 Connectivity LED
3 HP Jetdirect LEDs
Connectivity LED
The connectivity LED provides information about product operation. If a product error occurs, the formatter
displays a message on the control-panel display. However, error situations can occur causing the formatter-
to-control panel communication to be interrupted.
NOTE: HP recommends fully troubleshooting the formatter and control panel before replacing either
assembly. Use the connectivity LED to troubleshoot formatter and control panel errors to avoid
unnecessarily replacing these assemblies.

Formatter-to-control panel communication interruptions
● The firmware does not fully initialize and configure the control panel interface.
● The control panel is not functioning (either a failed assembly or power problem).
● Interface cabling between the formatter and control panel is damaged or disconnected.
TIP: If the connectivity LED is illuminated—by an error condition or normal operation—the formatter is
fully seated and the power is on. The pins for the LED circuit in the formatter connector are recessed so that
this LED will not illuminate unless the formatter is fully seated.
The heartbeat LED operates according to the product state. When the product is initializing, see Connectivity
LED, product initialization on page 135. When the product is in Ready mode, see Connectivity LED, product
operational on page 137.
Connectivity LED, product initialization
The following table describes the connectivity LED operation while the product is executing the firmware
boot process.
NOTE: When the initialization process completes, the connectivity LED should be illuminated solid green.
If after initialization, the connectivity LED is not solid green, see Connectivity LED, product operational
on page 137.

again. If the error persists, perform a firmware upgrade.
Heartbeat LED
The heartbeat LED indicates that the formatter is functioning correctly. While the product is initializing after
it is turned on, the LED blinks rapidly, and then turns off. When the product has finished the initialization
sequence, the heartbeat LED pulses on and off.
HP Jetdirect LEDs
The embedded HP Jetdirect print server has two LEDs. The yellow LED indicates network activity, and the
green LED indicates the link status. A blinking yellow LED indicates network traffic. If the green LED is off, a
link has failed.
For link failures, check all the network cable connections. In addition, try to manually configure the link
settings on the embedded print server by using the product control-panel menus.

3. Select the appropriate link speed, and then touch the OK button.

Engine diagnostics
The product contains extensive internal engine diagnostics that help in troubleshooting print quality, paper
path, noise, assembly, and timing issues.
Defeating interlocks
Different tests can be used to isolate different types of issues. For assembly or noise isolation, run the
diagnostic test when the top cover is open. To operate the product with the cover open, the top cover switch
levers must be depressed to simulate a closed-cover position.
WARNING! Be careful when performing product diagnostics to avoid risk of injury. Only trained service
personnel should open and run the diagnostics with the covers removed. Never touch any of the power
supplies when the product is turned on.
1. Open the top cover.
2. Insert a folded piece of paper into each slot to defeat the top switches.
TIP: Fold a stiff piece of paper, for example a business card or index card, into a 10 mm (.375 in) strip
with a bend at the end, and insert the strip into the openings under the top cover logic switches.

If paper was fed from Trays 2-5 or the duplexer:
The error indicates that the paper did activate PS102 (Prefeed Sensor) but did not reach PS103 (TOP Sensor).
Before beginning repair:
IF printer is found still signaling error:
● Before opening the printer, do a control panel test (See “Manual Sensor test” section in this document)
to see what sensors are activated and write them down. (Especially note the states of PS101, PS102,
PS103, PS107, and PS907).
● Note locations or any paper found in paper path and especially those found just before or after PS103 in
the registration area.
Run a set of internal pages:

● Are all of the 13.B2.Dx errors from the same paper tray?
● How often are they occurring?
Try to recreate the error:
● Using the Event log, determine which tray(s) the error is occurring from then run single sided copies
from that tray to try to recreate the error.
● Replace the feed, Pickup and separation rollers for paper trays with errors.
● Adjust the paper tray guides and load the paper according to procedure stated at the end of this
document.
Make sure that the tray width and length guides are set to the correct paper size being installed into the
● Try to recreate the error again, using that same tray.
● If error still occurs, then continue to the troubleshooting section of this document before removing the
jammed paper from the printer.
Troubleshooting Steps:
1. 1. Open the top cover and MP door and remove the toner cartridge to expose the paper path at the
registration area. Inspect the paper path, take note as to where any paper and the paper’s leading edge
is located and if simplex or duplex job was being run. Also inspect the leading edge of the paper for any
signs of the paper catching on something.
Figure 2-65 Opening to the registration assembly
2. If the leading edge of the paper closest to the registration assembly is past PS103 then the problem is
most likely with the sensing of the paper with PS103
3. Use Manual sensor test to verify consistent operation of the Registration TOP sensor.

Manual Sensor Test

Scroll down until PS103 TOP is displayed
When activating PS103 sensor, watch the control panel display for the sensor state to change from
green to clear or clear to green. I might take a few seconds to change as you toggle sensor flag.
Manually activating PS103
● Open the top cover, and then remove the print cartridge. Raise the registration plate and with a
small flat blade screwdriver carefully activate the sensor flag while looking at the control panel
for a response from the switch.
IMPORTANT: Test the sensor at least 20 times or more since the error is probably intermittent.
NOTE: The sensor flag is up against the set of white rollers and is very hard to see. You will need
to swing the guide plate that is part of the white roller assembly out of the way to get to the
sensor flag.
Manual Sensor test PASSES:
If Manual test to PS103 passes (Also test PS101, PS107,PS907 in tray 2 feed area or related sensors in
tray indicated in error)
a. Clean PS103 by using can of compressed air with the blow straw attached for pinpoint cleaning,
insert blow straw into the sensor flag opening and blow a couple of short bursts of air at different
angles onto the sensor. Then retest PS103 sensor. (This is done because of the error most likely
being an intermittent error and you need to make sure that the sensor is clean)
b. Test- Run 200 single sided page test from tray that was associated with error.
c. Check if the pre-registration roller is dirty, worn or deformed. Clean the pre-registration roller if
dirty. Replace the roller if it is worn or deformed.
d. Check the registration assembly. Verify the spring of the registration is in correct position. Replace
the registration assembly if the registration shutter is scarred or worn.
e. Replace the Feed Roller Assembly, clean PS102 using can of compressed air while replacing Feed
Roller Assembly and it is exposed. Also replace the Paper Pickup Assembly for the tray that the
error is associated with only.

Manual Sensor test FAILS:
a. Disconnect and reconnect the PS103 connector (J94) on the DC controller PCA and check the wiring
for any damage and retest the sensor.
b. If manual sensor test fails again, clean PS103 by using can of compressed air with the blow straw
attached for pinpoint cleaning, insert blow straw into the sensor flag opening and blow a couple of
short bursts of air at different angles onto the sensor. Then retest PS103 sensor.
c. If still no response, replace the DC Controller and retest PS103.
d. If still no response from PS103, replace the printer. (PS103 is not orderable or removable.)
NOTE: Only the base product needs to be replaced. Installed accessories or optional devices can
be transferred to the replacement base product.

Description
A job framework internal error has occurred.
Recommended action
1. No action should be necessary.
2. If the error persists, upgrade the product firmware.
3. If the issue persists, continue troubleshooting with the flowcharts for either Intermittent or Persistent
49 error troubleshooting (whichever is appropriate) in document c03122817, “HP LaserJet FutureSmart
Devices - 49 Error Troubleshooting (Persistent and Intermittent)”.

49.XX.YY Error To continue turn off then on
Description
A firmware error occurred. Corrupted print jobs, software application issues, non-product specific print
drivers, poor quality USB or network cables, bad network connections or incorrect configurations, invalid
firmware operations, or unsupported accessories can cause this error.
Recommended action
2. If the error persists, check the following:
● The error might be caused by a network connectivity problem, such as a bad interface cable, a bad
USB port, or an invalid network configuration setting.
● The error might be caused by the print job, due to an invalid print driver, a problem with the
software application, or a problem with the file being printed.
● Upgrading the product firmware might help resolve the error. See the product user guide for more
information.
When a 49 error occurs, the user sees a 49.XXXX message on the control panel (where XXXX is replaced by a
combination of letters and numbers). A 49 error might happen at any time for multiple reasons. Although
some types of 49 errors can be caused by hardware failures, it is more common for 49 errors to be caused by
printing a specific document or performing some task on the product.
49 errors most often occur when a product is asked to perform an action that the product firmware is not
capable of and might not have been designed to comply with, such as:
● Printing files with unsupported programming commands
● A unique combination of user environment and user interactions with the product
● Interfacing with a third-party solution that was not designed to work with the product
● Specific timing, network traffic, or concurrent processing of jobs
Each of these interactions could cause the product firmware to initiate an action that the product cannot
accomplish. In situations like this, the product might present the error if it has no other option. When these
errors occur, the only way to recover is to turn the product's power off and back on.
NOTE: LaserJet formatter PCAs are rarely the root cause of 49 service errors. Please do not replace the
formatter or flash unless troubleshooting has identified the formatter as the root cause.
If the error persists, continue troubleshooting with the flowcharts for either Intermittent or Persistent 49
error troubleshooting (whichever is appropriate) in document c03122817, “HP LaserJet FutureSmart Devices
- 49 Error Troubleshooting (Persistent and Intermittent)”.

● The product picks up multiple sheets of paper
● The document feeder jams, skews, or picks up multiple sheets of paper
● Prevent paper jams
The product does not pick up paper

If the product does not pick up paper from the tray, try these solutions.
NOTE: Tray 1 and Tray 2 are optimal for paper pickup when using special paper or media other than 20lb
plain paper. For Tray 1 and Tray 2 the product increases the number of attempts to pickup a page, which
increases the reliability of successfully picking the page from the tray and decreases the possibility of a mis-
pick jam.
HP recommends using Tray 1 or Tray 2 if the product is experiencing excessive or reoccurring jams from trays
other than Tray 1 and Tray 2, or for print jobs that require media other than 20lb plain paper.
1. Open the product and remove any jammed sheets of paper.
2. Load the tray with the correct size of paper for the job.
3. Make sure the paper size and type are set correctly on the product control panel.
4. Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to
the appropriate indentation in the tray.
5. Check the product control panel to see if the product is waiting for an acknowledgment to the feed the
paper manually prompt. Load paper, and continue.
6. The rollers above the tray might be contaminated. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened
with warm water.
The product picks up multiple sheets of paper

If the product picks up multiple sheets of paper from the tray, try these solutions.
1. Remove the stack of paper from the tray and flex it, rotate it 180 degrees, and flip it over. Do not fan
the paper. Return the stack of paper to the tray.
5. Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to
the appropriate indentation in the tray.

The document feeder jams, skews, or picks up multiple sheets of paper
● The original might have something on it, such as staples or self-adhesive notes, that must be removed.
● Check that all rollers are in place and that the roller-access cover inside the document feeder is closed.
● Make sure that the top document-feeder cover is closed.
● The pages might not be placed correctly. Straighten the pages and adjust the paper guides to center the
stack.
● The paper guides must be touching the sides of the paper stack to work correctly. Make sure that the
paper stack is straight and the guides are against the paper stack.
● The document feeder input tray or output bin might contain more than the maximum number of pages.
Make sure the paper stack fits below the guides in the input tray, and remove pages from the output
bin.
● Verify that there are no pieces of paper, staples, paper clips, or other debris in the paper path.
● Clean the document-feeder rollers and the separation pad. Use compressed air or a clean, lint-free cloth
moistened with warm water. If misfeeds still occur, replace the rollers.
● From the Home screen on the product control panel, scroll to and touch the Supplies button. Check the
status of the document-feeder kit, and replace it if necessary.

Restore the service ID

When replacing the formatter, the date is lost. Use this menu item to reset the date to the original date that
the product was first used. The date format is YYDDD. Use the following formula to calculate the dates:
1. To calculate YY, subtract 1990 from the calendar year. For instance, if the product was first used in
2002, calculate YY as follows: 2002 - 1990 = 12. YY = 12.
2. Subtract 1 from 10 (October is the tenth month of the year): 10 - 1 = 9.
● Multiply 9 by 30: 9 x 30 = 270 or add 17 to 270: 270 + 17 = 287. Thus, DDD = 287.
Convert the service ID to an actual date

Use the product Service ID number to determine whether the product is still under warranty. Use the
following formula to convert the Service ID into the installation date as follows:
1. Add 1990 to YY to get the actual year that the product was installed.
2. Divide DDD by 30. If there is a remainder, add 1 to the result. This is the month.
3. The remainder from the calculation in step 2 is the date.
Using the Service ID 12287 as an example, the date conversion is as follows:
1. 12 + 1990 = 2002, so the year is 2002.
2. 287 divided by 30 = 9 with a remainder of 17. Because there is a remainder, add 1 to 9 to get 10, which
represents October.
3. The remainder in step 2 is 17, so that is the date.
4. The complete date is 17-October-2002.
NOTE: A six-day grace period is built into the date system.

Format Disk and Partial Clean functions
Active and repository firmware locations
The firmware bundle consists of multiple parts. The main components are the Windows CE Operating System
and the product/peripheral firmware files.
There are two locations/partitions on the hard drive where the firmware components are stored:
● The Active, where the operating system and firmware currently are executing.
● The Repository, the recovery location.
If the Active location is damaged, or a Partial Clean was performed, the product automatically copies over the
OS and firmware files from the Repository location and the product recovers.
If both the Active and Repository locations are damaged, or a Format Disk was performed, then both
locations are gone and the error message 99.09.67 displays on the control-panel display. The user must
upload the firmware to the product in order for it to function again.
CAUTION: The Format Disk option performs a disk initialization for the entire disk. The operating system,
firmware files, and third party files (among other files) will be completely lost. HP does not recommend this
action.
Partial Clean
The Partial Clean option erases all partitions and data on the disk drive, except for the firmware repository
where a backup copy of the firmware file is stored. This allows the disk drive to be reformatted without
having to download a firmware upgrade file to return the product to a bootable state.
Characteristics of a Partial Clean

● Customer-defined settings, third-party solutions, firmware files, and the operating system are deleted.
● Rebooting the product restores the firmware files from the Repository location, but does not restore
any customer-defined settings.
● For previous HP products, a Hard Disk Initialization is similar to executing the Partial Clean function for
this product.
CAUTION: HP recommends backing-up product configuration data before executing a Partial Clean to retain
customer-defined settings (if needed). See the Backup/Restore item in the Device Maintenance menu.
Reasons for performing Partial Clean

● The product continually boots up in an error state.
NOTE: Try clearing the error prior to executing a Partial Clean.
● The product will not respond to commands from the control panel.
● Executing the Partial Clean function is helpful for troubleshooting hard disk problems.
● To reset the product by deleting all solutions and customer-defined settings.
● The product default settings are not properly working.

4. Use the down arrow button to highlight Partial Clean and then touch the OK button.
5. Touch the OK button again.
6. Touch the Home button to highlight Continue, and then touch the OK button.
NOTE: The product initializes.
Format Disk
The Format Disk option erases the entire disk drive.
CAUTION: After executing a Format Disk option, the product is not bootable.
Characteristics of a Format Disk

● Customer-defined settings, third-party solutions, firmware files, and the operating system are deleted.
NOTE: Rebooting the product does not restore the firmware files.
● Rebooting the product restores the firmware files from the Repository location, but does not restore
any customer-defined settings.
● After executing the Format Disk function, the message 99.09.67 displays on the control panel.
● After executing the Format Disk function, the product firmware must be reloaded.
CAUTION: HP recommends not using the Format Disk option unless an error occurs and the solution in the
product service manual recommends this solution. After executing the Format Disk function, the product is
unusable.

Solve fax problems
Checklist for solving fax problems
Use the following checklist to help identify the cause of any fax-related problems you encounter:
● Are you using the fax cable supplied with the fax accessory? This fax accessory has been tested with
the supplied fax cable to meet RJ11 and functional specifications. Do not substitute another fax cable;
the analog-fax accessory requires an analog-fax cable. It also requires an analog phone connection.
● Is the fax/phone line connector seated in the outlet on the fax accessory? Make sure that the phone
jack is correctly seated in the outlet. Insert the connector into the outlet until it "clicks."
NOTE: Verify that the phone jack is connected to the fax port rather than to the network port. The
ports are similar.
● Is the phone wall jack working properly? Verify that a dial tone exists by attaching a phone to the wall
jack. Can you hear a dial tone, and can you make or receive a phone call?
What type of phone line are you using?

● Dedicated line: A standard analog fax/phone line assigned to receive or send faxes.
NOTE: The phone line should be for product fax use only and not shared with other types of telephone
devices. Examples include alarm systems that use the phone line for notifications to a monitoring
company.
● PBX system: A business-environment phone system. Standard home phones and the fax accessory use
an analog phone signal. Some PBX systems are digital and might not be compatible with the fax
accessory. You might need an interfacing Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) to connect the fax machine
to digital PBX systems.
● Roll-over lines: A phone system feature where a new call "rolls over" to the next available line when
the first incoming line is busy. Try attaching the product to the first incoming phone line. The fax
accessory answers the phone after it rings the number of times set in the rings-to-answer setting.
Are you using a surge-protection device?

A surge-protection device can be used between the wall jack and the fax accessory to protect the fax
accessory against electrical power passed through the phone lines. These devices can cause some fax
communication problems by degrading the quality of the phone signal. If you are having problems sending or
receiving faxes and are using one of these devices, connect the product directly to the phone jack on the wall
to determine whether the problem is with the surge-protection device.
Are you using a phone company voice-messaging service or an answering machine?

If the rings-to-answer setting for the messaging service is lower than the rings-to-answer setting for the fax
accessory, the messaging service answers the call, and the fax accessory cannot receive faxes. If the rings-
to-answer setting for the fax accessory is lower than that of the messaging service, the fax accessory
answers all calls.
Does your phone line have a call-waiting feature?

If the fax telephone line has an activated call-waiting feature, a call-waiting notice can interrupt a fax call in
progress, which causes a communication error. Ensure that a call-waiting feature is not active on the fax
telephone line.

Use Fax over VoIP networks

VoIP technology converts the analog phone signal into digital bits. These are then assembled into packets
which travel on the Internet. The packets are converted and transmitted back to analog signals at or near the
destination.
Transmission of information on the Internet is digital instead of analog. Therefore, there are different
constraints on the fax transmission that might require different fax settings than the analog Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN). Fax is very dependent upon timing and signal quality, so a fax transmission is
more sensitive to a VoIP environment.
The following are suggested changes in settings for the HP LaserJet Analog Fax Accessory 500 when it is connected
to a VoIP service:
● Begin with the fax speed set in Medium (V.17). This might be helpful in environments where a new VoIP
networks is in use.
● If numerous errors or retries occur with the fax speed set to Fast, set it to Medium (V.17).
● If errors and retries persist, set the fax speed to Slow (V.29) because some VoIP systems cannot handle
the higher signal rates associated with fax.
● In rare cases, if errors persist, turn off ECM on the product. The image quality might decrease. Ensure
that the image quality is acceptable with ECM off before using this setting.
● If the preceding setting changes have not improved the VoIP fax reliability, contact your VoIP provider
for help.

Fax error messages on the product control panel

If the fax process is interrupted or an error occurs during a fax transmission or reception, a two-part status/
error description is generated by the fax subsystem on the product. Normal or successful faxes also generate
messages indicating success. The message information consists of a text description and a numeric code (a
few messages do not include numeric codes). Only the text part of the message is displayed on the product
control panel; however, both the text message and numeric code are listed in the Fax Activity Report, Fax Call
Report, and the Fax T.30 Trace. The numeric code is shown in parentheses after the text part of the message
in the reports.
The fax modem generates the numeric code. Usually a numeric code of (0) indicates a normal modem
response. Some messages always display a numeric code of (0), other messages can have a range of numeric
codes, and a few messages have no numeric code. Usually a numeric code of (0) indicates an error was not
associated with the fax modem, but occurred in another part of the fax system or other product sytem such
as the printing system. Non-zero error codes give further detail into the particular action or process that the
modem is executing, and they do not necessarily indicate that there is a problem with the modem.
Persistent error messages with numeric codes different than those listed here require assistance of customer
support. Print a Fax T.30 Trace report before contacting customer support to help identify the problem. This
report contains details of the last fax call.
