3 Control-panel message types

The control-panel messages and event code entries indicate the current printer status or situations that might
require action.

NOTE: Event log errors do not appear on the control-panel display. Open the event log to view or print the
event log errors.

A control-panel message displays temporarily and might require you (or the applicable user) to acknowledge the
message by touching the OK button to resume printing or by touching the Stop button to cancel the job.

With certain messages, the job might not finish printing, or the print quality might be affected. If the message
is related to printing and the auto-continue feature is on, the printer will attempt to resume printing after the
message has appeared for 10 seconds without acknowledgement.

For some messages, restarting the printer might fix the problem. If a critical error persists, the printer might
require service.

4 Error-code and control-panel-message
troubleshooting overview

This section provides information on error codes and searching for information.

Error codes
Error codes and control-panel messages display on the printer control panel to indicate the current printer status
or situations that might require action. Error codes are numerical, or alphanumerical, and have a set structure
with six characters (example: 13.WX.YZ).

● The first two characters are numeric and represent the system component that is causing the error. For
example, in error code 10.22.15, 10 = Supplies for HP LaserJets.

● The remaining four characters (W, X, Y, and Z values) further define the error.

HP LaserJet and HP PageWide Enterprise error codes are documented in the control panel message document
(CPMD) for each printer.

The CPMD is a comprehensive list of error codes, diagnostic and troubleshooting steps to clear or resolve the
error, and other helpful information such as service mode pins and part numbers.

The CPMD is continually updated and republished with the latest information for the following error codes.

Table 4-1 ERROR CODES: The first two characters

Recommended action for customers

Follow these troubleshooting steps in the order presented.

1. Follow the instructions on the control panel to clear the jam. Check for paper in all possible jam locations.

2. Verify that no doors are open.

3. Check the paper tray to make sure paper is loaded correctly. The paper guides should be adjusted to the
correct size, and the tray should not be filled above the maximum fill marks or tabs.

4. Make sure the type and quality of the paper being used meets the HP specifications for the printer.

5. Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean the rollers in the appropriate tray. Replace rollers that are worn.

6. Open all doors and covers and ensure the paper path is completely clear of paper or obstructions.

7. If the error persists, contact your HP-authorized service or support provider, or contact customer support at
www.hp.com/go/contactHP.
To prevent future paper jams in the printer, follow these recommendations:

● Use only paper that meets HP specifications for this printer.

For more information, refer to the printer User Guide or the HP LaserJet Print Media Guide.

● Make sure the printing environment is within recommended specifications.

● Do not use paper that is wrinkled, folded, or damaged.

● Do not overload the tray with paper.

● Make sure that the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper.

● Make sure that the tray is fully inserted in the printer.

● If printing on heavy, embossed, or perforated paper, use the manual feed feature and feed sheets one at a
time.

● Open the Trays menu on the printer control panel. Verify that the tray is configured correctly for the paper
type and size.

6. If the issue persists, open the Administration > Troubleshooting > Diagnostic Tests > Component Test menu,
and perform the appropriate pickup/feed motor drive test. Replace the pickup assembly if the test fails.

7. Perform the Tray/Bin Manual Sensor test to verify the sensors are functioning. If the sensors fail the test,
first verify that all connections on the DC controller are correctly seated. If possible, replace the sensor or
assembly it is associated with.

8. If the sensors pass the test, look for blockage or damaged parts and replace any damaged parts.
