Service maintenance During the life of your printer, components that are used constantly can wear out. To avoid having these components degrade to the point that the printer breaks down, the printer keeps track of the number of cycles that the printer carriage makes across the axis of the printer, and also monitors the total quantity of ink used. The printer uses these numbers to track the need for service maintenance, and displays one of the following messages on the front panel: ● Service Maintenance Kit 1 ● Service Maintenance Kit 2 ● Service Maintenance Kit 3 These messages mean that some components are nearing the end of their lives. You can continue printing for quite some time, depending on your use of the printer. However, HP strongly recommends that you call your service representative and arrange for a service maintenance visit. The service engineer can then replace the worn parts on-site, which will prolong the life of the printer. The benefits of arranging a service engineer's visit when these messages appear on the front panel are two-fold: ● The printer components can be replaced at a time that is convenient for you, and so will not disturb your daily workflow. ● During a service maintenance visit, the service engineer replaces several parts at once. This eliminates the need for repeat visits. Maintain hardware 40 Chapter 4 Hardware maintenance ENWW
