HP Designjet Z6100 Printer series - Manual (Page 152)

The printer uses these numbers to track the need for preventive maintenance, and displays one of the
following messages on the front panel:
● Maintenance #1 required
● Maintenance #2 required
These messages mean that some components are nearing the end of their lives. You can continue printing
for quite some time, depending on your use of the printer. However, HP strongly recommends that you
contact your customer service representative and arrange for a preventive maintenance visit. The service
engineer can then replace the worn parts onsite, which will prolong the life of the printer.
The benefits of arranging a service engineer's visit when these messages appear on the front panel are
two-fold:
● The printer components can be replaced at a time that is convenient for you, and so will not disturb
your daily workflow.
● When the service engineer performs a preventive maintenance visit, replaces several parts at once.
This eliminates the need for repeat visits.
