Situation:
Firmware version A.01.00 of the DesignJet 200 exhibits the following problems:
1)The unit is not able to load 1.6 m cut<sheet media.
2)In the absence on an IN command in the plot files, the resulting line widths are not consistent with the selected values.
3)Carriage start<up pulses may damage the print cartridges causing early cartridge failures.
Solution/Action:
Whenever a unit exhibits a problem as described above, replace firmware version A.01.00 by firmware version A.01.01.
Production units may have the A.01.00 code implemented in two different sets of devices:
1) EPROM/OTP devices:
P/Ns: | 1818<5724 | A.01.00 (U28) |
| 1818<5725 | A.01.00 (U29) |
| 1818<5726 | A.01.00 (U9) |
| 1818<5727 | A.01.00 (U4) |
2) Mask ROM devices: |
