please the most detailed person. Here are some of the most common problem that may happen with 3800 series.
Probably the most common problem that arises on HP 3800 series printer is the 50.1 fuser error. The error is
a result of the machine reading a low fuser temperature. Several things
can happen to result in a 50.1 fuser error. First thing to check is the power
source. Call any service
and repair provider and they will recommend that you plug the machine straight
into a wall outlet and to avoid power strips, surge arrest, and battery back
ups. These machines use a lot of power. Plugging them into power strips with
other devices can draw the voltage down throughout the circuit. While it might
not affect other devices these machines have thermistors in them that
measure the temperature of the fuser. If the temperature falls out of range the
machine will throw you a 50.1 fuser error code. Second thing to check is
the fuser itself. The fuser is easy to remove and replace so pull the fuser out
and reseat it to verify that it’s properly seated. Third thing to try is
just turning the machine off and back on to see if it comes up to its
proper temperature. Sudden power outages are known to cause odd problems
like this. Finally, turn the machine off and unplug it for 10 to 20 minutes.
This allows the printer to cool down. This can clear out any error codes stuck in
the machines memory and let it go through its normal start-up mode.
A another common problem is complaint about the front door will not close right, paper jams around the toner cartridge and toner cartridge will not install. The problem is the toner
lock are broken, the toner lock is what engage the toner cartridge to hold them in place. They are usually broken when the cartridge is taken out in
an angled way or when a cartridge is not seated correctly when replaced. Follow these steps will help to prevent the toner locks from being
broken. When removing the toner cartridge be sure to grasp both sides of the cartridge
and remove evenly. When installing the cartridge be sure to install the cartridge evenly and make
sure it is seated all the way. (Do not force the cartridge if there is any
resistance.)
A another common problem is jam inside front door. The printer fed a sheet of paper from one of the trays and the paper made it to the top of page sensor in time
However, the paper did not subsequently reach the fuser paper delivery sensor in time. Follow these steps to local the problem, inspect the PIU for damage,
This is a delay jam , Although the paper stopped in the fuser, the main cause is more likely a paper feed pickup problem. Inspect or replaced the paper pickup assembly.
1. Open the upper cover, and then squeeze the two blue
fuser-locking levers to release the fuser.Rotate the fuser up and out of
the printer.
1. Verify the fuser is installed correctly and fully seated.
2. Check that connector J6007 on the fuser is seated correctly. Replace
the connector as necessary.
3. Turn off the printer.
4. Remove the fuser.
5. If there is no conduction in the main thermistor, measure the resistance
between fuser connectors J6007LA-1 and J6007LA-3. If the resistance
is not 100 kohms to 3 Mohms, replace the fuser.
6. If there is no conduction in the fuser heater, measure the
resistance between fuser connectors J6007LAF-1 and J6007-2. If the
resistance is not 5 ohms to 1 kohms (100 to 127 V) or 20 ohms to 1
kohms (220 to 240 V), replace the fuser.
7. Upgrade the DC controller firmware.
8. Replace the DC controller PCA.
If the printer has broken cartridge locks the cartridge lock kit
will need to be installed. The kit will come with 4 locks and they should all
be installed at time of installation.
