See the User's guide. You are advised to contact your service representative. See HP Customer Care Centers on page 93. Load substrate. Replace the printhead cleaning roll. See Replace the printhead cleaning roll and aerosol filters on page 41. Check that three-phase power supply is working and the ambient temperature is within the normal range. This problem can also be caused by holes in the substrate, by reflective or transparent substrates or by a dirty or faulty temperature sensor. If the ambient temperature is within the normal range, this problem may be caused by removing the substrate too quickly after printing. Try leaving the substrate in the printer until temperatures settle down after printing. Check that the three-phase power supply is working. This problem can also be caused by holes in the substrate, by reflective or transparent substrates or by a dirty or faulty temperature sensor.

Printer cannot carry on printing

Check that three-phase power supply is working and the

ambient temperature is within the normal range. This problem

can also be caused by holes in the substrate, by reflective or

transparent substrates or by a dirty or faulty temperature

sensor.

Printer cannot cool down

If the ambient temperature is within the normal range, this

problem may be caused by removing the substrate too quickly

after printing. Try leaving the substrate in the printer until

temperatures settle down after printing.

Printer cannot warm up

Check that the three-phase power supply is working. This

problem can also be caused by holes in the substrate, by

reflective or transparent substrates or by a dirty or faulty

temperature sensor.
