Readership

The procedures described in this service manual are to be performed by HP Certified service personnel only.

Part numbers

Part numbers for printer service parts are located in Parts and diagrams on page 184.

Warning labels

Electric shock hazard

Hazardous voltage inside the printer (built-in power supply) could result in death or serious personal injury. See the installation instructions before connecting power. Ensure that the input voltage is within the printer's rated voltage range. Use only earthed mains outlets and the power cords supplied by HP with the printer. There are no operator-serviceable parts inside the printer. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Disconnect the power cord before servicing. Voltage is still present in the built-in power supply after the main switch is turned off.

Double pole/neutral fusing

Electric shock hazard. The built-in power supply incorporates a fuse on each conductor, therefore the printer could be energized even when one fuse has blown. There are no operator-replaceable fuses inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Disconnect the power cord before servicing.

Theory of operation

Schematics

Electronics are based on 3 main components:

E-box - contains the power supply and all the PCAs (driving the printer), plus the Ethernet port.

Carriage PCA - drives the printhead.

Front Panel - user interface and USB port.

The following diagram describes the connections between components and electronic boards and the data line type for T920, T1500 and T2500.

Printer Initialization

There are 3 main blocks to be initialized before the printer can be operated:

Electronic components init

1.The front panel shows a white background and blue HP logo.

12 Chapter 1 Printer fundamentals

ENWW

2.The upper LED in the formatter is ON, indicating that the formatter has been initialized.

3.The middle LED in the formatter blinks, indicating that the HDD has been initialized.

NOTE: Steps 2&3 are the same when waking from Sleep Mode except the 3 LEDs are not on but; ON- Blinking-OFF

OS & Firmware init

1.The OS is loaded into RAM. The Front Panel blinks for a second.

2.If boot up is after a bad power-off, the boot sequence automatically runs a file system check. a. The Front Panel shows the FSCK, text.

b.First, FSCK runs on the root partition.

c.If FSCK is successful, the OS boots up from the root partition and runs FSCK on the data partition.

3.After FSCK, the OS finishes booting from the HDD.

4.The home button lights up to allow stopping the boot sequence, and entry to the diagnostics menu, see Diagnostics, Service Utilities and Calibrations on page 132.

Mechanical components init

1.The Front Panel shows a black background with a blue circle in the middle. The “Initializing” message appears. A progress bar shows the percentage of subsystems that have been initialized.

2.The printer moves the carriage from side to side to validate its position within the scan axis. The printer initializes the service station, moving the caps from bumper to bumper.

3.The pinches move down into position.
