4029 LaserPrinter Models
The IBM* LaserPrinter 4029 Series are letter-quality page printers designed to
attach to IBM or IBM-compatible personal computers using a standard parallel or
serial interface. These printers are capable of various pitches and fonts, as well as
bit image graphics that allow the user to print advanced graphics.
There are eight models of the IBM 4029 LaserPrinter:

Notes:
1. The 4029 printers listed as "preconfigured" contain a built-in AppleTalk
network option or Postscript option, as well as additional memory.
2. Certain features and functions are not available for the 4029-010 These
include the optional 500-sheet paper tray, the front exit sensor (the 4029-010
has no front exit), and the paper tray auto-size function. These differences
are noted throughout this manual.
3. The 4029-010 has its Own user's guide and other customer documentation,
but all 4029 models have a common
manual.
4. The maximum duty cycle for 4019 and 4029 printers is 20K pages per month.
The average usage is 1K pages per month for printers rated at up to 6 pages
per minute, and 2K pages per month for printers rated at 10 pages per
minute.
5. Some models of the IBM 4019 and 4029 LaserPrinter are manufactured by
Lexmark** International, Inc. rather than IBM. These models, which may be
built for specific customer operations, are identified by a unique machine type
or model number in the lower right corner of the front cover. Most models use
existing parts. All system boards have the FRU number on them.

Hardware Maintenance and Service
Self-test
When you turn on the LaserPrinter a power-on self-test (POST) is performed.
Check for successful completion of the POST by observing the following:
1. All lights come On for approximately 1 second, then:
The panel briefly displays 5 Self test.
2. The fuser lamp comes on, then:
The panel displays Ready and the selected emulation mode, and the
Ready and Paper Source lights come On.
3. The printer briefly remains idle while the fuser warms up to operating temperature.
4. The drive motor, fan motor, and print head motor run for a brief period. The
drive motor runs for 10 seconds; the fan motor runs for 3 seconds at high
speed then switches to low speed; the print head motor runs for about 30
seconds.

IBM 4029 OSR
If the printer completes all these steps and no error messages are displayed, the
POST has successfully completed and the printer is ready to receive data.
Configuration
The operator has some of the following options for working with printer configuration
settings:
View or change the data stream (PPDS, HP**, Postscript, plotter)
View or change the paper/envelope size
Change the font source
Change the print orientation
Change the print mode
Print a test page
Change the number of text lines per page
Select the power saver option
Print a list of available fonts
Restore the printer to its factory default settings.
Although these functions can be set from the operator panel, the host computer or
software may override both user and factory default settings. Make sure the printer
is set up correctly and have the customer make sure the software is set up correctly
before servicing the printer.
Entering and Storing 4029 User Default Settings
1. Press Main Menu, Paper Menu, or Font Menu as required to cycle through
the menu to the desired option.
2. Press List+ to cycle through available settings for the desired option.
3. When the desired setting is displayed, press Alt + Save to store the new
setting.
Changing the 4029 Print Mode
There is no print mode setting as such for the 4029. Instead, the 4029 includes a
Print Quality Enhancement Technology (PQET) option in the menu system. PQET,
which enhances the print definition by producing smoother, sharper lines, is not
available in Postscript mode. You may enhance-print definition in Postscript mode
by setting the printer for greater print resolution.
1. Press Main Menu until the following is displayed:
Print Resolution, if in Postscript mode
PQET, if in any other mode.
2. Press List+ until the desired setting is displayed:
3 DPI or 6 DPI, if in Postscript mode
On or Off, if in any other mode.
3. When the desired setting is displayed, press Select.

Print Test 1 checks printer registration. Print Test 2 checks printer registration and
print quality.
Normal Mode Print Test
1. Press Main Menu until Print Test Page is displayed.
2. Press List+ to select either a single page or continuous pages.
3. Press Select to run the print test.

Common Problems and Fixes
900 Service If this error appeared during POST, or while the printer was idle (not
printing or receiving data from the host), or while trying to print one of the internal
test pages, replace the system board. If this error appeared while sending a job
from the host to the printer, turn the printer off, then turn it on and try again. If the
error appears again, call the next level service support for assistance.
910 Service Font card error. Font card removed while printing. Make sure the font
card is installed properly. Turn the printer off, then turn it back on. If the problem
still exists, replace the system board.
920 Service Fuser error. Temperature below the stand-by temperature when the
printer mechanically picked the second (or later) page in a print job.
921 Service Fuser error. Temperature below the stand-by temperature when the
printer is idle.
922 Service Fuser error. During printer warmup, temperature did not reach stand-by
temperature after 60 seconds.
923 Service Fuser error. Fuser too hot during printing or when the printer is idle.
930 Service Mirror motor not up to speed.
940 Service Laser failure.
941 Service Laser or HSYNC failure.
950 Service System board failure. Replace the system board.
951 Service Bad SRAM. Replace the system board.
952 Service Bad zero SRAM. Replace the system board.
