Service approach
Repair of the printer normally begins with the use of the printer’s internal diagnostics in conjunction
with the troubleshooting procedures in Chapter 7. Once a faulty part is located, repair is generally
accomplished by assembly level replacement of Field Replaceable Units (FRUs). Some mechanical
assemblies may be repaired at the subassembly level. PCA component replacement is not
supported by Hewlett-Packard. Part numbers for all FRUs are located in Chapter 8 of this manual.
Parts Exchange Program
HP offers remanufactured assemblies for some selected parts. These are identified in Chapter 8 and
can be ordered through HP’s
Commercial Service and Support Organization-Europe (CSSO-E)
Ordering parts
Field replaceable part numbers are listed in Chapter 8 of this manual. Replacement parts may be
ordered from HP's Commercial Service and Support Organization-Americas (CSSO-A), or
Commercial Service and Support Organization-Europe (CSSO-E).
