Note: The Starter CD includes a utility to easily copy the HP 2500C/C+/CM software to 3.5-inch high-density diskettes as well as to copy files to a server. This allows you to use the diskettes to install the software on systems that do not have a CD-ROM drive.

Maintaining the Printer

This section contains information on utilities for maintaining the printer. They include: Cleaning Printheads Aligning Printheads Calibrating Color Clean Printheads Whenever print quality noticeably decreases it is a good idea to perform the Clean Printheads utility either through the HP 2500C Toolbox on your computer or from the Control Panel on the printer. Please refer to the
Maintenance Tab of the Toolbox if you wish to clean the printheads from the Toolbox.
The Clean Printheads utility consists of 3 levels of cleaning. Each level of cleaning uses some ink to clear the printheads. It is recommended that you start with Level 1 before proceeding to subsequent levels. Note that Level 3 takes the longest and uses the most ink. To run the Clean Printheads utility through the Control Panel: 1. Press [Menu] until DIAGNOSTICS MENU appears. 2. Press [Item] to select either CLEAN PRNT-HDS LEVEL 1, 2 or 3. 3. Press [Select] to clean printheads. Align Printheads Although you may not notice misalignment in your printouts, it is recommended that you run the Align Printheads utility whenever the LCD displays the message "PRNT-HDS NOT ALIGNED". This ensures that you have the best possible print quality. You may align the printheads either through the Toolbox or from the Control Panel. Please refer to the Maintenance Tab of the Toolbox if you wish to align the printheads from the Toolbox. To run the Align Printheads utility through the Control Panel: 1. Press [Menu] until DIAGNOSTICS MENU appears. 2. Press [Item] until ALIGN PRNT-HDS appears. 3. Press [Select]. 4. The printer will print a page with 5 sets of alignment patterns. 5. In each set (A, B, C, D or E) select the most aligned (straightest) pair of lines (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5). 6. Enter the corresponding numbers in the Control Panel by pressing [Value]. 7. When you have entered a value for a set, press [Item] to move to the next.
8. When you have finished entering the values press [Select]. 9. The printer will print a confirmation page consisting of 2 squares and a cross. 10. Check the confirmation page to see if the lines on the squares and the cross are aligned. 11. Re-align the printheads if the confirmation page is not satisfactory. Calibrate Color If the color tints of your documents have shifted towards yellow, magenta or blue, run the Calibrate Color utility to balance the color tints. It is not advisable to calibrate color unless the shifts in color tints are visible. To run the Calibrate Color utility: 1. Double-click on the HP 2500C Toolbox icon on your computer desktop. 2. Click on Maintenance tab. 3. Click on Calibrate Color and follow the instructions on the screen.

Values

AUTO PCL PS PCL 5 HPCGL2

Explanation

Select the default printer language (personality). Possible values are determined by which valid languages are installed in the printer. For example, if you have the PS module installed, you will be able to select between AUTO, PCL or PS. Similarly, if you have installed the PCL 5 module, you will be able to select PCL 5, PCL, AUTO or HPCGL2. Normally you should not change the printer language (the default is AUTO). If you change it to a specific printer language, the printer will not automatically switch from one language to another unless specific software commands are sent to the printer.
MIO Menu The MIO print server that is installed controls this menu and it varies accordingly. Please refer to the documentation that comes with the print server for more information. PostScript Menu (for HP 2500CM printer or with the HP 2500C PostScript Upgrade Kit only) Item

OFF ON OFF ON AUTO ON OFF
Select ON to print the PS error page when PS errors occur. Select ON to print the PCL5C error page when PCL 5 errors occur. Determine how the printer behaves when a paper jam occurs. AUTO: The printer automatically selects the best mode for printer jam recovery (usually ON). This is the default setting. ON: The printer automatically reprints pages after a paper jam is cleared. OFF: The printer does not reprint pages following a paper jam. Printing performance might be increased with this setting.

Set the default number of copies by selecting any number from 1 to 99. Press [Value] once to change the setting by increments of 1 or holddown [Value] to scroll. PCL5C downloaded objects are lost when the interpreter is ended PCL5C downloaded objects are saved between active sessions of the interpreter. When the interpreter is restarted the previous state of the interpreter is restored.

Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams Make sure nothing is blocking the paper paths. Do not overload the trays. Tray 1 holds up to 10 sheets of paper; Tray 2 holds up to 150 sheets and Tray 3 holds up to 250 sheets. Load the paper correctly. Do not use paper that is curled or crumpled. Printhead Diagnostics When the LCD Panel displays the message "PRNT-HD DIAG PRESS ", it means that one or more of the printheads may be faulty. You will need to diagnose which printhead is faulty and replace it before you can continue printing. This process requires you to remove all the printheads and then re-inserting one printhead at a time in the sequence of black, cyan, magenta and yellow.
To diagnose the faulty printhead: 1. Open the Printhead Access Cover and unlock the printhead latch. 2. Remove the cyan, magenta and yellow printheads and close the Printhead Access Cover. 3. The LCD Panel will display the message "DETECTING." as it checks the printhead. 4. If the message "B PRNT-HD FAULTY, PRESS " appears, it means that the black printhead is faulty. If this happens, press the button. Remove the Printhead Access Cover and replace with a new black printhead. Fasten the printhead latch and close the Printhead Access Cover to verify that the new printhead is working. If the message "B PRNT-HD OK, PRESS " appears, it means that the black printhead is working. 5. Follow the sequence found in step 4 with each of the remaining printheads to verify functionality. 6. Isolate the faulty printhead by this method, and replace it with a new one.
Understanding the Diagnostic Test
The Diagnostic Test page is a valuable tool for troubleshooting. This will help verify if the printer is working. To print a Diagnostic Test: 1. Press [Menu] until SELF TEST MENU appears 2. Press [Item] until PRINT DIAGNOSTIC PAGE appears. 3. Press [Select] to print the diagnostic page. The Diagnostic Test page looks like this:
The Diagnostic Test page is divided into four sections: Item Description Printer Information shows general printer information such as Firmware version number, Model and Service ID. Built-in Bitmap Fonts shows the type of fonts that is resident in your printer. This is different from the TrueType fonts that are installed in your computer. Printhead Information monitors and displays the status of your printhead. If these bars are printed properly, it shows that the printheads are in working order. Ink Cartridge Information displays the amount of ink left in each ink cartridge.
