| Plots joined or not | HP#GL timeout: If the user is using an HP 7586B (HP?GL) driver, it |
|
| plotted. | may not end files properly with the result that several plots may be |
|
|
| joined, or not plotted at all. In this case you need to choose an |
|
|
| I/O Timeout period. (Instructions ' User's Guide.) The timeout tells |
|
|
| the plotter how long to wait before assuming a plot is complete. |
|
|
| Short timeout period: A timeout setting that is too short results in |
|
|
| incomplete plots. |
|
|
| Long timeout period: If the plotter has finished receiving the plot |
|
|
| data (Ready LED stops flashing and remains on) and is waiting for |
|
|
| the timeout period to finish before plotting, you can command it to |
|
|
| plot immediately by pressing Form Feed. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Damage to | Condensation: In conditions of high humidity, water may |
|
| electronics module. | condense on the plotter side?plates. To stop this water dripping |
|
|
| onto the main PCA, a wick is attached to the underside of the right |
|
|
| side?plate. This wick uses capillary action to route the water away |
|
|
| from the electronics. If the wick is damaged, water may damage the |
|
|
| main PCA. |

| Third?party ink and | Drawer statement: •HP does not support third?party inks or |
|
| off?axis ink systems. | off?axis ink systems for use with any of its DesignJet series plotters |
|
|
| or printers. If a failure or damage to such HP products is found to |
|
|
| be directly attributed to the use of third?party inks or off?axis ink |
|
|
| systems (or any other non?supported HP supply or accessory), the |
|
|
| repair will NOT be covered under HP's warranty or maintenance |
|
|
| contract. In such cases, standard time and material charges will be |
|

|
| Troublesome | Duty cycle: Plotters need increased maintenance if users do not |
|
| plotters. | limit use to the duty?cycle recommendations. (Details ' chapter 4.) |

| Random or | Adjust electronics module: The gasket to the left of the |
|
| incorrectly ordered | motor/sensor connectors on the electronics module may be |
|
| LED sequence at | short?circuiting the front?panel connector contacts. Push the gasket |
|
| power?on. | to the left, away from the connectors. |

| Failure in RS?232?C | Faulty electronics module: Failure of the ?12V voltage in the | |
| |||
|
| communication. | power supply shows up as a failure in RS?232?C communication. |
|
|
| The serial port might fail: completely, occasionally, or only with |
|
|
| some PC models. See also error codes |
|
|
| Flashing 39, teady 139, and teady 349. |

|
|
|
|
| Changing electronics | Pinched cables: Before changing an electronics module in which |
|
| module or motors. | the main PCA has failed, make sure that the cables from the |
|
|
| carriage motor and media motor have not been pinched. Pinched |
|
|
| cables could have caused a short?circuit and damaged the chips that |
|
|
| control the motors. (A faulty motor could also have caused the same |
|
|
| to happen.) |
