HP LaserJets - Clearing the maintenance count and service message

If the display panel on your HP LaserJet reads "perform printer maintenance", "perform user maintenance", or anything along those lines it means your printer needs a preventative maintenance kit, which includes a fuser and various rollers. Once you have installed the maintenance kit the message will only go away if you clear the maintenance count. For example the LaserJet 4000 has a 200,000 page maintenance interval. Once you reach 200,000 pages the error message appears and you need to reset the maintenance count to zero to make the message go away.

Reset the maintenance count on an HP LaserJet 8000, 8100, and 8150 The Service Manual indicates you need go into the Configuration Menu and set the SERVICE MESSAGE = to OFF to clear the PERFORM PRINTER MAINTENANCE message. We have found that this does not always work (probably due to different formatter revisions). We recommend the following procedure to manually set the maintenance count to zero.

1. Enter service mode as described on our entering service mode page.

2. Go to the MAINTCOUNT screen and press + or - to scroll the number to zero (all zeros).

3. Press the Select button to enter the settings into the printers memory (an asterisk will appear next to the zeros).

4. Exit service mode by pressing the GO button.

NOTE: Do not change the MAINTENANCE INTERVAL value, which is another option in service mode.
