HP 2300 Service Manual - Page 29

Service approach Note Bench-repair warranty The warranty for this product is "return to bench" for a period of one year from the date of purchase. This means that customers who need warranty repair must return their printer to an HP repair center or an Authorized Service Provider (ASP). See "Reseller sales and service support" on page 28. HP Express Exchange Through Customer Care Centers in the United States and Canada, customers have an option to initiate Express Exchange. Under this option, customers can have a factory-refurbished printer sent to them within 24 hours. 1 The customer contacts the local HP Customer Care Center listed in the product documentation. A technician troubleshoots the situation and determines whether the printer has actually failed. If so, the technician refers the customer to the HP Service Center. 2 A representative from the service center requests product and customer information. In some regions, collateral might also be requested. 3 Hewlett-Packard Company ships a refurbished replacement unit to arrive the next day. (Geographic distance might prevent next-day shipping.) 4 The customer sends the defective printer to Hewlett-Packard at HP's expense. Customers with onsite support service provided by HP should work directly with the local Customer Care Center instead of following the steps outlined here. Exchanged units carry the remainder of the original unit's warranty or a 90-day warranty, whichever is greater. The faster turnaround from HP Express Exchange minimizes downtime over traditional service programs that require the user to ship the failed unit to the manufacturer and then wait for it to be repaired and returned. Because HP pays the shipping charges, the user incurs no hidden costs for the service. For warranty information and requirements, please see the user guide.

Replacement parts can be ordered from the HP Customer Services and Support Organization. Use only accessories that are specifically designed for this printer.
