Introduction

This chapter describes the removal and replacement of field-replaceable units (FRUs) only.
Replacing FRUs is generally the reverse of removal. Occasionally, notes and tips are included to provide directions for difficult or critical replacement procedures.
HP does not support repairing individual subassemblies or troubleshooting to the component level.
Note the length, diameter, color, type, and location of each screw. Be sure to return each screw to its original location during reassembly.
Incorrectly routed or loose wire harnesses can interfere with other internal components and can become damaged or broken. Frayed or pinched harness wires can be difficult to find. When replacing wire harnesses, always use the provided wire loops, lance points, or wire-harness guides and retainers.

Removal and replacement strategy

WARNING! Turn the product off, wait 5 seconds, and then remove the power cord before
attempting to service the product. If this warning is not followed, severe injury can result, in addition to damage to the product. The power must be on for certain functional checks during troubleshooting. However, disconnect the power supply during parts removal.
Never operate or service the product with the protective cover removed from the laser/scanner assembly. The reflected beam, although invisible, can damage your eyes.
The sheet-metal parts can have sharp edges. Be careful when handling sheet-metal parts.
CAUTION: Do not bend or fold the flat flexible cables (FFCs) during removal or installation. Also, do
not straighten pre-folds in the FFCs. You must fully seat all FFCs in their connectors. Failure to fully seat an FFC into a connector can cause a short circuit in a PCA.
NOTE: To install a self-tapping screw, first turn it counterclockwise to align it with the existing thread
pattern, and then carefully turn it clockwise to tighten. Do not overtighten. If a self-tapping screw-hole becomes stripped, repair the screw-hole or replace the affected assembly.
TIP: For clarity, some photos in this chapter show components removed that would not be removed to
service the product. If necessary, remove the components listed at the beginning of a procedure before proceeding to service the product.
2 Chapter 1 Removal and replacement ENWW

Electrostatic discharge

CAUTION: Some parts are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Look for the ESD reminder
when removing product parts. Always perform service work at an ESD-protected workstation or mat, or use an ESD strap. If an ESD workstation, mat, or strap is not available, ground yourself by touching the sheet-metal chassis before touching an ESD-sensitive part.
Protect the ESD-sensitive parts by placing them in ESD pouches when they are out of the product.

Required tools

#2 Phillips screwdriver with a magnetic tip and a 152-mm (6-inch) shaft length
Small flat-blade screwdriver
Needle-nose pliers
ESD mat (if one is available) or ESD strap
Penlight (optional)
CAUTION: Always use a Phillips screwdriver (callout 1). Do not use a Pozidriv screwdriver
(callout 2) or any motorized screwdriver. These can damage screws or screw threads.

Service approach

Before performing service

Remove all paper from the product.
Turn off the power using the power button.
WARNING! The power button must be turned off before performing service. Failure to turn off
the power leaves the fuser engaged and prevents its removal.
Unplug the power cable and interface cable or cables.
Place the product on an ESD workstation or mat (if one is available), or use an ESD strap. If an
ESD workstation, mat, or strap is not available, ground yourself by touching the sheet-metal chassis before touching an ESD-sensitive part.
Remove the print cartridges and imaging drum. See
drum on page 9
Remove the input tray. See

After performing service

Plug in the power cable.
Reinstall the print cartridges.
Load paper in the product.

Post-service test

Perform the following test to verify that the repair or replacement was successful.
Product verification test
1. Verify that you have completed the necessary reassembly steps.
2. Make sure that the tray contains clean, unmarked paper.
3. Attach the power cord and interface cable or interface cables, and then turn on the product.
Print cartridges on page 7 and Imaging
Input tray on page 11.
4. Verify that the expected startup sounds occur.
5. Print a configuration page, and then verify that the expected printing sounds occur.
6. Send a print job from the host computer, and then verify that the output meets expectations.
7. Use the document feeder to make a copy.
8. Clean the outside of the product with a damp cloth.

Solve problems checklist

Follow these steps when trying to solve a problem with the product.

Step 1: Test print functionality

Step 2: Test copy functionality

Step 1: Test print functionality
1. Open the Reports menu, and then select Config Report to print the report.
2. If the report does not print, check the following:
3. Make sure that paper is in the tray.
4. Check the control panel for paper jam messages. If the control panel indicates a jam, clear the
jam.
5. Make sure that the print cartridge is not empty.
6. Clean the paper pick roller and the separation pad.
7. Replace the paper pick roller or the separation pad.
Step 2: Test copy functionality
1. Place the configuration page into the document feeder, adjust the paper guides, and then make a
copy. If paper does not feed through the document feeder smoothly, replace the document feeder pick up arm assembly. If this does not improve the issue, replace the document feeder core assembly.
2. Place the configuration page onto the scanner glass, and then make a copy.
3. If the print quality on the copied pages is not acceptable, clean the scanner glass.

Troubleshooting processes

Determine the problem source

The following table includes basic questions to ask the customer to quickly help define the problem or problems.
General topic Questions
Environment
Paper
Input tray
Is the product installed on a solid, level surface (± 1°)?
Is the power-supply voltage within ± 10 volts of the specified power source?
Is the power-supply plug inserted in the product and the outlet?
Is the operating environment within the specified parameters?
Is the product exposed to ammonia gas, such as that produced by diazo
copiers or office cleaning materials?
NOTE: Diazo copiers produce ammonia gas as part of the coping
processes. Ammonia gas (from cleaning supplies or a diazo copier) can have an adverse affect on some product components (for example, the imaging drum).
Is the product exposed to direct sunlight?
Does the customer use only supported paper?
Is the paper in good condition (no curls, folds, or distortion)?
Is the paper stored correctly and within environmental limits?
Is the amount of paper in the tray within specifications?
Is the paper correctly placed in the tray?
Are the paper guides aligned with the stack?
Supplies
Transfer roller and fuser
Covers
Are the print cartridges and the imaging-drum installed correctly and firmly
seated?
Has the sealing tape been removed from each print cartridge?
Are the print cartridges and imaging drum within their estimated life? (Check
the supplies status page.)
Are the transfer roller and fuser installed correctly?
Are the top, front and rear doors firmly closed?

Power subsystem

Power-on checks
Turn on the power. If the control-panel LEDs do not illuminate, perform the power-on checks to find the cause of the problem.
1. Verify that the product is plugged into an active electrical outlet that delivers the correct voltage.
2. Verify that the power button is in the on position.
Does condensation occur following a temperature change (particularly in
winter following cold storage)? If so, wipe affected parts dry or leave the product on for 90 to 120 minutes.
Was a cartridge opened soon after being moved from a cold to a warm
room? If so, allow the cartridge to sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
Check for and remove any non-HP components (for example, a print cartridge
or imaging drum) from the product.
Remove the product from the network and make sure that the failure is with the
product before beginning troubleshooting.
3. Make sure that the product makes the expected start up sounds.
NOTE: The overcurrent/overvoltage protection circuit in the low-voltage power supply unit might
be functioning. Turn the product off, unplug the power cord, and turn the product on. If the product does not function, the fuse melts, or the power supply is malfunctioning, replace the engine controller unit. See
Engine controller assembly on page 58.
