D12. Image Quality Purpose Ć Test the image quality attributes of the printer. If after aligning the Printheads, Bad Printhead Alignment" is displayed Ć Try recovering the printheads using the frontĆpanel menu. Check the alignment pattern to check if any of the colors are printed badly. If a color is printing badly then replace the complete Ink Delivery System of the color that is bad. Perform the Line Sensor calibration. Replace the lens cover ' Users Guide, Chapter 10 (Lens Maintenance). Check if the Line Sensor is installed/connected correctly. Perform the Line Sensor Test. Perform the Electronics Test. If the values of the Printheads are between -1.0 and +1.0 for any of the Printheads then the test has passed. If the values of the Printheads are NOT between -1.0 and +1.0 for any of the Printheads then the test has failed Ć Perform the Printhead Alignment Calibration. Perform the Line Sensor calibration. Replace the lens cover ' Users Guide, Chapter 10 (Lens Maintenance). Perform the Electronics test. Check if the Media used is suitable for the printer. Check if the Line Sensor is installed/connected correctly. Replace the Line Sensor. D13. Printhead ID Purpose Ć Check the default settings of the printheads. ID 200000 is for inks for imaging and ID 220000 is for UV Durable Inks. This test is for information only which might be requested in the event of an escalation. D14. Printhead Continuity Purpose Ć Check the primitives and address maps of the printheads. The values shown for all Printheads should be 0. If a different value is shown then that Printhead has a continuity problem. Try the following: 1 DO NOT replace any parts. This will cause extra problems. Remove the Printheads and clean the flex contacts on the Carriage and the Printheads. Reseat the Printheads and try the test again. 2 Even if one of the Printheads failed the Printhead Continuity test, you must remove all the Printheads from the Carriage and try installing them one by one. Before installing each Printhead, check the continuity of all four Printheads. The frontĆpanel should display a 3ffff / 3fff result for each Printhead that is not inserted and the original values (the value that was displayed before the Printhead was removed) for the Printheads when they are inserted. If you get a value that is different than 3ffff / 3fff when the Printheads are removed then you must perform step 1 again. If you get the same results after repeating step 1, then the carriage is damaged. Replace the Carriage Assembly. When you insert each Printhead, the values should change only for that Printhead. If the values of other Printheads also change, then the problem is the Printhead itself and not the actual Printer. In this case you must replace the complete Ink Delivery System of the color that failed. 3 If you continue getting the original value (the value that was displayed before the Printhead was first removed) then you must replace the complete Ink Delivery System of the color that failed and try the test again. 4 As a last resort, replace Carriage Assembly. D15. Clean Roller Purpose Ć To rotate the Drive Roller when it requires cleaning. HP DesignJet 2500CP and 2000CP Printers Quick Reference Service Manual 11

DO NOT replace any parts.
This will cause extra problems
. Remove the
Printheads and clean the flex contacts on the Carriage and the Printheads. Reseat the
Printheads and try the test again.
2
Even if one of the Printheads failed the Printhead Continuity test, you must remove
all
the
Printheads from the Carriage and try installing them
one by one
. Before installing each
Printhead, check the continuity of all four Printheads. The frontĆpanel should display a
3ffff / 3fff result for each Printhead that is not inserted and the original values (the value
that was displayed before the Printhead was removed) for the Printheads when they are
inserted. If you get a value that is different than 3ffff / 3fff when the Printheads are
removed then you must perform step

again. If you get the same results after repeating
step 1, then the carriage is damaged. Replace the Carriage Assembly. When you insert each
Printhead, the values
should change only
for that Printhead. If the values of other
Printheads also change, then the problem is the Printhead itself and
not
the actual Printer.
In this case you
must
replace the complete Ink Delivery System of the color that failed.
3
If you continue getting the original value (the value that was displayed before the
Printhead was first removed) then you
must
replace the complete Ink Delivery System of
the color that failed and try the test again.

As a
last resort
, replace Carriage Assembly.
