Common Questions
10 totalWhat are the main safety precautions I should take when using the HP LaserJet 1010 printer?
Always use a grounded electrical outlet when connecting the printer to a power source. Do not touch the contacts on the end of any sockets. Unplug the product from wall outlets before cleaning. Do not install or use the printer near water or when wet. Install the product securely on a stable surface in a protected location where no one can trip over the power cord.
What is the print speed and resolution of the HP LaserJet 1010 compared to the 1012?
The HP LaserJet 1010 prints up to 12 pages per minute at 600 x 600 dpi resolution. The HP LaserJet 1012 prints up to 14 pages per minute for A4 (15 for letter) at 1200 x 1200 dpi effective output quality using HP Resolution Enhancement (RET) technology. The 1012 also includes networking support through HP Jetdirect devices.
How long should the print cartridge last?
At 5 percent page coverage, a standard print cartridge will print approximately 2,000 pages. However, a cartridge may print more pages if it regularly prints pages with less coverage, such as short memos, or fewer pages if heavy or bold print is used. For best results, always use a print cartridge before the expiration date stamped on the cartridge box.
What should I do if I experience paper feeding problems?
If the printer regularly misfeeds and cleaning the pickup roller does not fix it, you may need to replace the pickup roller. If the printer grabs more than one page at a time, you might have to replace the printer separation pad. Recurring feed problems indicate that the printer separation pad is worn.
What operating temperature and humidity range is recommended for the printer?
The operating environment temperature should be 10° to 32.5° C (50° to 90.5° F) with humidity of 20 to 80 percent relative humidity with no condensation. Place the product in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, open flames, and ammonia fumes with sufficient space for proper access and ventilation.
What paper specifications and guidelines should I follow?
Paper must be of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, holes, and curled or bent edges. Do not use letterhead printed with low-temperature inks or colored paper with incompatible inks. The printer accepts media sizes from 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in) minimum to 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 in) maximum. For optimum performance, do not use paper heavier than 157 g/m² (42-lb).

Print cartridge information The print cartridge is designed to simplify replacement of the major consumable parts. The print cartridge contains the printing mechanism and a supply of toner. At 5 percent page coverage, a standard print cartridge will print approximately 2,000 pages. However, a cartridge should print more pages if it regularly prints pages with less coverage, such as short memos. The cartridge might print fewer pages if heavy or bold print is used. For best results, always use a print cartridge before the expiration date stamped on the cartridge box. Refilled print cartridges While Hewlett-Packard does not prohibit the use of refilled print cartridges during the warranty period or while the product is under a maintenance contract, it is not recommended for the following reasons: ● Repairs resulting from the use of refilled cartridges are not covered under Hewlett- Packard warranty or maintenance contracts. ● Hewlett-Packard has no control or process to ensure that a refilled cartridge functions at the high level of reliability of a new HP LaserJet toner cartridge. Hewlett-Packard also cannot predict the long-term reliability effect on the product from using different toner formulations found in refilled cartridges. ● The print quality of HP LaserJet print cartridges influences the customer’s perception of the product. Hewlett-Packard has no control over the actual print quality of a refilled cartridge. ● Parts that are critical to print quality may not be replaced when the cartridge is refilled with toner. Recycling print cartridges In order to reduce waste, Hewlett-Packard offers a recycling program. Cartridge components that do not wear out are recycled. Plastics and other materials are recycled. Hewlett-Packard pays the shipping costs from the user to the recycling plant (within the United States). To join this recycling effort, follow the instructions inside the print cartridge box. Refer to http://www.hp.com/recycle for more information.

Identifying the control panel components The printer control panel has three lights and two buttons. These lights produce patterns that identify your printer’ s status. 1 2 3 4 Figure 2-2. Control panel lights and buttons 1 Attention light: Indicates printer media input tray is empty, print cartridge door is open, print cartridge is missing, and other errors. 2 Ready light: Indicates that the printer is ready to print. 3 Go button and light: To print a demo page, or to continue printing while in manual feed mode, press and release the Go button. To print a configuration page, press and hold the Go button between 5 and 10 seconds until the attention and ready lights flash. To run a cycle to clean the paper path (using a transparency), press and hold the Go button for at least 10 seconds until the attention and ready lights stay on. 4 Cancel Job button: When the printer is processing data, press the Cancel Job button to cancel the print job. Note The two printer buttons, Go and Cancel are mechanically linked and activate the same switch on the formatter. The formatter switch performs the correct function, based on the state of the printer when either button is pressed. Ease-of-use studies during product design resulted in offering the user a Go and a Cancel button rather than just a single button.

Guidelines for using media HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You can print on a variety of media, such as paper (including up to 100 percent recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-sized media. Paper and Transparencies Paper must be of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, holes, and curled or bent edges. Check the label on the paper package for details about the type of paper (such as bond or recycled). Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the printer. Note Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography, raised letterhead, or colored paper or preprinted forms that use inks incompatible with the printer temperature [200° C (392° F) for 0.1 second]. Transparencies must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer’s maximum temperature. Common media problems table Symptom Problem with paper Solution Poor print quality or toner adhesion, or problems with feeding. Too moist, too rough, too smooth, or embossed. Faulty paper lot. Try another kind of paper between 100 and 250 Sheffield and 4 to 6 percent moisture content. Dropouts, jamming, or curl. Stored improperly. Store paper flat in its moisture- proof wrapping. Increased gray background shading. Might be too heavy. Use lighter paper. Excessive curl, or problems with feeding. Too moist, wrong grain direction, or short-grain construction. Use long-grain paper. Print using the straight-through output path. Jamming, or damage to printer. Cutouts or perforations. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations. Problems with feeding. Ragged edges. Use good quality paper. Labels When selecting labels, consider the following factors: ● Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200° C (392° F), the printer’s maximum temperature. ● Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
Enww
Guidelines for using media 19● Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 in) of curl in any direction. ● Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation. Never use a sheet of labels that has already been run through the printer. Envelopes Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends on the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors: ● Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 105 g/m2 (28 lb), or jamming might result. ● Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 in) curl and should not contain air. Envelopes that trap air may cause problems. ● Condition: Make sure that the envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. ● Sizes: From 90 x 160 mm (3.5 x 6.3 in) to 178 x 254 mm (7 x 10 in). Store envelopes flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing. Envelopes with double-side seams An envelope with double-side-seam construction (vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams) is more likely to wrinkle. Make sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as shown in top figure of the following illustration: Should print well. May jam or wrinkle. Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer: 200°C (392° F). The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams. Card stock and heavy media For optimum performance, do not use paper heavier than 157 g/m 2 (42-lb). Paper that is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, paper jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical wear. 20 Chapter 2 Installation and Operation
Enww
Note You might be able to print on heavier paper if you do not fill the input tray to capacity and if you use paper with a smoothness rating of 100 to 180 Sheffield. Card stock construction ● Smoothness: 135-157 g/m 2 (36-to 42-lb) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100 to 180 Sheffield. 60-135 g/m 2 (16- to 36-lb) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100 to 250 Sheffield. ● Construction : Card stock should lie flat with less than 5 mm (0.2 in) of curl. ● Condition: Make sure that the card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. ● Sizes: Only use card stock within the following size ranges: ● Minimum: 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in) ● Maximum: 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 in) Card stock guidelines ● Set margins at least 2 mm (0.08 in) away from the edges.

Guidelines for using media 21Loading media Loading media in the HP LaserJet 1010 series printers is simple and straightforward. Loading media to print This section describes loading bulk media to print. Main input tray The main input tray holds up to 150 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper or a 25 mm (0.98 in) stack of heavier media. Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. To prevent jams and skew, always adjust the side media guides. Priority input tray The priority input tray can be used to feed one page at a time of a recommended media for manual feeding and special operations. It can hold up to ten pages of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper, but is best used for feeding one page at a time of paper, heavier paper, envelope, transparency, or card stock. Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. To prevent jams and skew, always adjust the side media guides. If you try to print on media that is wrinkled, folded, or damaged in any way, a jam might occur. See the User Guide located on the product CD for more information. Note When you add new media, make sure that you remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten the stack of new media. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from feeding through the printer at one time, reducing paper jams. Specific types of media ● Transparencies and labels: Load transparencies and labels with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. See the User Guide located on the product CD for more information. ● Envelopes: Load envelopes with the narrow, stamp side forward and the side to be printed facing up. See the User Guide located on the product CD for more information. ● Letterhead or preprinted forms: Load with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. See the User Guide for more information. ● Cards and custom-sized media: Load with the narrow side forward and the side to be printed facing up.

Formatter system The formatter coordinates the major systems. It is responsible for the following: ● Receiving and processing print data from the printer interface (from the computer) ● Monitoring the control panel and relaying printer status information ● Developing and coordinating data placement and timing with the print engine ● Communicating with the host computer through the bidirectional interface The formatter receives print data from the parallel interface or the Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface and converts it into a dot image. The ECU synchronizes the image formation system with the paper feed system and signals the formatter to send the print image data to the laser system. The formatter sends the print image data (dots) in the form of a video signal, and the printing process begins. Central processing unit The formatter uses an embedded Coldfire V4 microprocessor operating at 133 MHz.
Ram
● One bank of nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) stores parameters. ● Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) provides temporary storage of the product program code and print data. ● The HP LaserJet 1010 and 1012 have 8 MB of RAM. ● The HP LaserJet 1015 has 16 MB of RAM. Universal Serial Bus interface The formatter receives incoming data through the USB interface. This interface provides high-speed, two-way communication between the product and the host, allowing applications on the host computer to change product settings and monitor product status. The USB interface is compatible with the USB 2.0 specification. Parallel interface (HP LaserJet 1015 only) If the parallel interface on the HP LaserJet 1015 is used, the formatter receives incoming data through bidirectional ECP. Like the USB interface, the parallel interface supports high- speed, two-way communication between the product and the host, so applications on the host computer can change product settings and monitor product status. Use an IEEE 1284- compliant parallel cable. Control panel The control panel consists of: ● Three status lights. ● Go and Cancel Job buttonsEnww
Formatter system 37Draft mode Depending on which driver is used, selecting draft or EconoMode from the driver allows the product to use approximately 50 percent less toner, extending the life of the print cartridge. MEt HP MEt effectively doubles the standard memory through a variety of font and data- compression methods. Enhanced I/O The Enhanced I/O feature allows product memory to be used for storing data received from the host computer. When Enhanced I/O is enabled, you can send more data to the product in shorter amounts of time, which allows you to return to your application sooner. Enhanced I/O has the following options: ● Auto —allows the product to use Enhanced I/O memory allocation to increase the speed of data transfer from the host computer to the product, if necessary. The default setting is Auto. ● Off —uses the minimum amount of product memory for storing data sent from the host computer. ● Page protect—allows the formatter to create the entire page image in page buffer memory before physically moving the media through the printer. This process ensures that the entire page will be printed. Page complexity (ruling lines, complex graphics, or dense text) can exceed the printer’s ability to create the page image fast enough to keep pace with the image formation process. If Page Protect is disabled and a page is too complex, the page might print in parts (for example, the top half on one page and the bottom half on the next page). Some print-data loss is likely in these instances, and the product will display an error message. PJL overview When using the parallel port on the HP LaserJet 1015, Printer Job Language (PJL) is an integral part of configuration (in addition to the standard Printer Command Language--PCL). With IEEE 1284-compliant parallel cable (standard ECP cabling), PJL allows the product to perform functions such as: ● Two-way communication with the host computer through a bidirectional parallel connection. The product can communicate information to the host (such as the control panel status). ● Isolation of print environment settings from one print job to the next. For example, if a print job is sent to the printer in landscape mode, the subsequent print jobs print in landscape only if they are formatted for landscape printing. Note PJL commands can be sent to the printer only from a DOS command prompt and through a parallel cable, and thus apply only to the HP LaserJet 1015. DOS applications are not supported over a USB interface. 38 Chapter 4 Operational overview

The engine control system includes both the engine control unit (ECU) PCA and the engine power assembly PCA. Note In other HP LaserJet products, the ECU and power functions are combined onto one PCA known as the controller PCA or the DC controller PCA. In the HP LaserJet 1010 series, the control functions are primarily relegated to the ECU PCA and the power functions to the engine power assembly PCA.Enww
Printer functions 39The ECU controls the following systems and functions: ● Printer engine control ● Paper motion monitoring and control (printing) ● Motor ● Printer laser/scanner unit The engine power assembly provides the power system: ● AC power distribution ● DC power distribution ● Overcurrent/overvoltage protection ● High-voltage power distribution Printer engine control system Paper motion monitoring and control The ECU controls paper motion in the printer by continuously monitoring the two paper sensors and coordinating the timing with the other print processes. For a detailed explanation of paper movement and the interaction of the sensors and pickup solenoid with the paper movement process, see Printer paper feed system. Motor The ECU controls the motor. The motor drives all of the printer paper movement. Printer laser/scanner unit The ECU sends signals to the laser/scanner assembly to modulate the laser diode's on and off modes and to drive the laser/scanner motor. 40 Chapter 4 Operational overview

Photosensitive drum Figure 4-3. Laser/scanner operation Power system on the engine power assembly The AC, DC, and high-voltage power supply circuits are all provided by the engine power assembly. AC power distribution The AC power circuitry supplies AC voltage whenever the power cord is connected to the AC power source and the power switch is on. AC voltage is distributed to the DC power supply circuitry and to the AC driver circuitry, which controls AC voltage to the fuser assembly heating element. DC power distribution The DC power distribution circuitry, located on the engine power assembly, distributes +3.3 Vdc, +5 Vdc, and +24 Vdc as follows: ● +3.3 Vdc: ECU, sensors, formatter ● +5 Vdc: Parallel interface on the 1015 formatter ● +24 Vdc: Main motor, laser/scanner motor, solenoid, high- voltage power supply, fuser, safety circuit, door switch Overcurrent/overvoltageEnww
Printer functions 41There are two overvoltage devices in this product: ● Fuse F101 provides overcurrent protection for the fusing system circuitry. ● Fuse F102 (110V products only) provides overcurrent protection to the printer DC power supply circuitry. You can check or replace the fuses by removing the left cover. If either of these fuses fail, replace the engine power assembly. High-voltage power distribution The high-voltage power supply applies an overlap of DC and AC voltage to the primary charging roller and to the developing roller. This circuit also applies a positive or negative DC voltage to the transfer roller according to the instructions from the engine control unit. This circuit also controls the image density by changing the primary AC voltage and the developing AC bias according to the print density setting (which is set using HP Toolbox). High voltage is disabled when the print cartridge door is open.

Image formation system Laser printing requires the interaction of several different technologies including electronics, optics, and electrophotographics to provide a printed page. Each process functions independently and must be coordinated with the other printer processes. Image formation consists of seven processes: Electrostatic latent image formation stage Paper direction Direction of drum rotation

Printer Status Lights Description Continuable error Go Ready Attention In the continuable error state, the Go light is on, the Ready light is off, and the Attention light is blinking. Press Go to attempt to recover from the error and continue printing. If the printer recovers from the error, it will move to the Processing data state and complete the job. If the recovery fails, the device will return to the continuable error state. This state can be reached in the following circumstances: ● Manual Feed ● Out of paper for the specified tray ● General continuable error ● Memory overflow (error 20) / memory full. Note: PCL only. ● Temporary engine error (41.x errors) ● I/O error (22 error) / Buffer flow error Note: Parallel only. ● I/O data error (40 error) (Bad Connection) Note: Parallel only. ● Memory configuration error ● Personality/Job related error ● Fuser high temperature (50.011 error) Note The LJ1010 product series does not have paper out sensors. When the printer goes to a continuable error state because its out of paper, the user the will need to reload paper and press Go to continue. No secondary error information is provided to the user from the lights.
Enww
Control Panel Lights 89Printer Status Lights Description Attention State Go Ready Attention In the Attention state, the Attention light is blinking and the Go and Ready lights are off. This state can be reached in the following circumstances: ● Paper tray is empty ● Door open ● Toner Cartridge Missing ● Paper jam/ Tray Misfeed Pressing Go attempts to reset after a jam is cleared or is ignored in the other error cases. It may be necessary to clear the error manually and press Go or close the top cover. If the error still persists, the device will return to the Attention state. Note The LJ1010 product series does not have paper out sensors. When the printer is in an Attention state because the paper tray is empty, the user must reload paper and press Go. Fatal Error Go Ready Attention While in the fatal error state, all three LED's are on continuously. Pressing Go displays the secondary error information for the fatal error, and releasing the button(s) will cause the device to return to the initial "fatal error" state. (See.) Cleaning Page Ready Attention Go The cleaning page is activated using the Toolbox application. Button presses are ignored during cleaning mode. Sleep Mode Go Ready Attention From the customer's perspective Sleep mode is the same as Ready mode. 90 Chapter 6 Troubleshooting

Control Panel Lights 91Image troubleshooting Print cartridge problems Checking the print cartridge Image formation defects are frequently the result of problems in the print cartridge. If there is any doubt, always replace the print cartridge before troubleshooting image defects. Use the following checklist to make sure that the print cartridge is still operable. □ Make sure that the print cartridge is installed properly and the shipping tape is removed. □ Inspect the print cartridge for toner level. □ Check the expiration date stamped on the print cartridge box. □ Check the print cartridge to see if it has been disassembled or refilled. □ Inspect the print cartridge to see if toner is leaking through worn seals. □ Check the surface of the photosensitive drum in the cartridge to see if it has been damaged or scratched. Touching the drum contaminates the photosensitive surface and can cause spotting and image defects. □ Blurred areas on printed pages indicate that the photosensitive drum in the cartridge has been overexposed to light. Because overexposure to light causes permanent damage to the photosensitive drum, the cartridge should be replaced. Note A print cartridge weighs approximately 675 gm. (approx. 23.8 oz.) when it is full, approximately 600 gm. (approx. 21.2 oz.) when it first fades, and approximately 585 gm. (approx. 20.6 oz.) when it is empty. To redistribute toner in the print cartridge Before installing a new print cartridge or when toner begins to run low, redistribute the toner by rotating the cartridge back and forth five or six times. Solving image-quality problems Use the following tables to help solve problems with printed pages. If the problem occurs when printing, see Table 6-2. Solving print image-quality problems. Also, see Table 6-3. Solving print paper-feed problems. 92 Chapter 6 Troubleshooting

Enww
Solving paper-feed problems Use the following table to solve problems related to moving paper or documents through the product. Solving print paper-feed problems Table 6-3. Solving print paper-feed problems Issue Cause Solution Pages are coming out curled or wrinkled. Paper curl is inherent to the laser printing processes, and occurs when paper is subjected to heat. Paper curl tends to relax as the paper cools while resting on a flat surface. Make sure that the media meets specifications detailed in the Print Media Guide for the HP LaserJet family. Reset the fuser mode to the default. Paper is not stored properly. Whenever possible, store paper in its sealed ream at room temperature. The media is too long for the printer output bin. Use the long media extension. The printer is operating in humidity or temperature conditions that are not within the recommended ranges. Move the product to a different location. The wrong type of paper is selected in the printer properties dialog. Select the correct media type under "Type is" (in the printer properties dialog, on the Paper tab). The media you are using does not meet HP’s specifications (for example, it is too moist or too rough). Make sure that the media meets specifications detailed in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide. The media was in the input tray for too long. Turn the stack of media over and put it back in the tray. Rotate the media 180° and put it back in the tray.
Enww
Solving paper-feed problems 99Issue Cause Solution Print is misaligned on the page (skewed pages). The media is loaded incorrectly. Reload the media, and make sure that the media guides are not too tight or too loose against the media stack. The input tray is too full. Remove some of the sheets. The main input tray can hold up to 150 sheets of 20-lb. (75 g/m2 ) bond weight paper (or fewer pages of heavier media, a stack no higher than 25 mm). The priority input tray can hold up to ten sheets of 20- lb. (75 g/m2) bond weight paper, one sheet of heavier media, or one envelope or card. The media you are using does not meet HP’s specifications (for example, it is too moist or too rough). Make sure that the media meets specifications detailed in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide. 100 Chapter 6 Troubleshooting
Enww
Issue Cause Solution The printer feeds multiple sheets or jams frequently from the main input tray or priority input tray. Paper guides are not adjusted properly or paper is not far enough forward. Slide the guides against the sides of the stack in the main input tray or the priority input tray to center the paper. Make sure the guides are not adjusted too tightly. Stack is not neat and aligned well on all sides. Remove paper, align stack, and replace. The main input tray is overfilled. Remove some of the sheets. The main input tray can hold up to 250 sheets of 20-lb. (75 g/m2 ) bond weight paper (less for heavier paper) or from 20 to 30 envelopes. The priority input tray is overfilled. Remove media or feed single sheets. The priority input tray is designed for optimal feeding of single sheets, especially when heavier media is used. It can hold up to ten sheets of 20-lb. (75 g/m2 ) bond weight paper (one sheet of heavier paper) or one envelope. The paper was poorly cut by the manufacturer and is sticking together. “Break” the ream of paper by curving it into an upside-down u-shape; this can effectively decrease multifeeds. Also try turning the paper around to feed the opposite end first, or use a different type of paper. The paper does not meet HP’s specifications for print media. Make sure that the media meets specifications detailed in the Print Media Guide for the HP LaserJet family. The output capacity was exceeded in the paper output bin. Do not allow more than 125 sheets of 20-lb. (75 g/m2) bond weight paper (less for heavier paper) to fill the paper output bin. The pickup roller is dirty. Clean the pickup roller. The pickup roller is damaged. Replace the pickup roller. The separation pad is damaged. Replace the separation pad.
Enww
Solving paper-feed problems 101Issue Cause Solution The printer feeds multiple sheets or jams frequently from the main input tray or priority input tray (continued). A sensor is not operating properly. The chances of a sensor failing are very small. However, debris around the sensor arms may cause them to register a jam. There are only three sensors in the printer (top of page, paper width, and delivery). Check them to ensure that the sensor arms can move freely. On the rare occasion of a failed sensor, replace the printer. 102 Chapter 6 Troubleshooting

Functional checks This section includes five functional checks for troubleshooting. Half self-test functional check The print process can be subdivided into the following stages: ● image formation stage (charges the drum and writes a latent image to the drum with the laser) ● development stage (forms a toner image on the drum) ● transfer stage (transfers the image to paper) ● cleaning stage (removes excess toner from the drum) ● fusing stage (applies heat and pressure to make the image on paper permanent) To perform a half self-test check The purpose of the half self-test check is to begin the printing process and then interrupt it right in the middle. Examining the printer components at that point allows you to determine which stage in the print process is malfunctioning.

5090-3379 1(NOTE: If two parts are listed for one country or region, you can use either part regardless of the output rating.) Common hardware The product uses common Phillips-head screws as fasteners. How to use the parts lists and diagrams The figures in this chapter illustrate the major subassemblies in the product. A table follows the exploded assembly diagram. Each table lists the reference designator, the associated part number for the item, and a description of the part. Parts that have no reference designator or part number are not field-replaceable units and cannot be ordered. Failure of a part that is not listed as replaceable and is not included with a listed field-replaceable unit requires replacement of the entire printer. While looking for a part number, pay careful attention to the voltage listed in the description column to make sure that the part number selected is for the correct product model. 114 Chapter 7 Parts and diagramsEnww
