Service Preventative Maintenance

Service Preventative Maintenance Kit

During the life of your printer, components that are
used constantly can wear out with time and use.

To avoid these components being so worn that the
printer breaks down, the printer keeps track of the
number of cycles the printer carriage makes across the
axis of the printer. The number of cycles can be seen
by going to Printer Setup/Utilities/Statistics.

The printer uses this number to advise you of the need
for preventive maintenance, and displays the message
shown below:

This message means that the components
are nearing their end-of-life. You can continue
printing for quite some time, depending on
your use of the printer. However it is strongly

recommended that you call your HP representative and
arrange for a preventative maintenance on-site visit.
The service engineer can then replace the worn parts,
this will ensure the life of the printer for a further period.

The benefits of arranging a service engineer visit when
the front-panel displays this message are two fold:

1.

The printer components can be replaced at a time

which is convenient for you and so will not disturb
your daily work flow.

2.

When the service engineer performs a

preventative maintenance visit he will replace
several parts at once. This will prevent the
necessity of repeat visits and more printer “down
time”.
