Preliminary Operating Checks
Prior to troubleshooting a specific printer problem, ensure that the following
conditions are met:
-
The printer is plugged in and power is present in the outlet at the proper voltage.
-
The selected paper tray contains media and has been properly loaded.
-
The toner cartridge is installed properly.
-
The printer is being maintained on a regular basis.
-
Any I/O devices are properly installed.
-
You are using acceptable paper.
-
The printer is positioned on a solid, level surface.
-
The line voltage does not vary more than 10% from the nominal rated value as
specified on the Power Rating Label.
-
The operating environment for the printer is within the temperature and
humidity specifications.
-
The printer is never exposed to ammonia fumes such as those produced by diazo
copiers or office cleaning materials.
-
The printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.
-
Non-HP components (such as refilled Toner Cartridges, font cartridges, and memory
boards) are removed from the printer.
NOTE:
Sudden
changes in the printer’s environment can cause image defects and paper handling problems.
Always make sure the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight, heating or
cooling vents. Allow time for the printer and media to acclimate whenever changing environments
(for example, moving it from a cold environment to a warm one). Acclimation can take
anywhere from 3 to 24 hours depending on the ambient conditions.
