Troubleshooting
HP DesignJet 430, 450C and 455CA Printers
What can I do if the Media continuously crashes?
1
Check if the media loaded is HP approved. If the media is not HP
approved, advise the customer to use HP media and check to see if the
problem is now solved.

If this brush (located under the entry platen) is
damaged or removed, static charge can build up on the media. A charge
can cause the media to stick to itself and jam the Printer.

Electronics Module and then try to power ON the Printer again. If nothing
appears on the frontĆpanel display, then replace the Electronics Module

the problem must be with another component of the Printer. To find the
faulty component, power OFF the Printer and connect one of the cables and
power ON again. Once the faulty component is connected, it will not allow
the Printer to power ON. This component should then be replaced.
