Repetitive defects troubleshooting, Table 7-38

Page 375 highlights

Table 7-37 Causes for misplaced image (continued) Cause The oblique rollers are worn (this issue applies to duplex printing only; HP CLJ 4600 and 4650 models only). The DC controller PCA is defective. Solution Replace the oblique rollers. Replace the DC controller PCA. Calibrate the printer after replacing the DC controller. See Calibrate Now (HP Color LaserJet 4600 models) or Full Calibrate Now (HP Color LaserJet 4610n and 4650 models). Repetitive defects troubleshooting Defects on printer rollers can cause image defects to appear at regular intervals on the page. Use the repetitive defects ruler on the next page (Figure 7-3 Repetitive defects ruler (1 of 2)) to measure the distance between defects that recur on a page. Use the Table 7-38 Repetitive defect spacing table to determine which roller is causing the defect. To resolve the problem, try cleaning the roller first. If the roller is still dirty after cleaning or if it is damaged, replace the indicated part. CAUTION Do not use solvents or oils to clean rollers. Instead, rub the roller with lint-free paper. If dirt is difficult to remove, rub the roller with lint-free paper that has been dampened with rubbing alcohol. NOTE The letter codes before certain roller names in Table 7-38 Repetitive defect spacing correspond to the letters at the top of the repetitive defects ruler in Figure 7-3 Repetitive defects ruler (1 of 2). Not all rollers are shown in the ruler. Defects on the cassette or the multipurpose-tray pickup roller cause defects only on the leading edge of the image.

Cause
Solution
The oblique rollers are worn (this issue applies to duplex
printing only; HP CLJ 4600 and 4650 models only).
Replace the oblique rollers.
The DC controller PCA is defective.
Replace the DC controller PCA. Calibrate the printer after
replacing the DC controller. See

Repetitive defects troubleshooting
Defects on printer rollers can cause image defects to appear at regular intervals on the page. Use
the repetitive defects ruler on the next page (
Figure
7-3
Repetitive
defects
ruler
(1
of
2)
) to measure
the distance between defects that recur on a page. Use the
Table
7-38
Repetitive
defect
spacing
table to determine which roller is causing the defect. To resolve the problem, try cleaning the roller
first. If the roller is still dirty after cleaning or if it is damaged, replace the indicated part.
CAUTION
Do not use solvents or oils to clean rollers. Instead, rub the roller with lint-free
paper. If dirt is difficult to remove, rub the roller with lint-free paper that has been dampened
with rubbing alcohol.
NOTE
The letter codes before certain roller names in
Table
7-38
Repetitive
defect
spacing
correspond to the letters at the top of the repetitive defects ruler in
Figure
7-3
Repetitive
defects
ruler
(1
of
2)
. Not all rollers are shown in the ruler.
Defects on the cassette or the multipurpose-tray pickup roller cause defects only on the
leading edge of the image.
