C4699Ć90000
Plain + Error + Ready:
RSĆ232ĆC data overflow. Data byte was not read before
another was entered into the UART. Possible causes are:
D Incorrect configuration in communications speed/protocol. D Incorrect
communications cable. D Error in host computer. D Faulty electronics
module.
Steady 136
Load Media + Error + Film:
Servo error in the YĆaxis (carriage axis). Try one
or more of the following:
D Clear any binding due to a media jam.
D Turn the plotter off. Manually move the carriage along the carriage axis.
Check for any areas where the carriage may be binding.
D Ensure that the belt and belt pulley are in correct working order. Remove
dirt from the pulley that could cause the belt to slip.
D Perform the carriageĆaxis test and the servo/encoder test to check for
problems with the carriage motor, encoder strip, and electronics module.
D Remove dirt from the slider rod and chassis beam. Apply oil (Anderol 4068,
HP part number: 6040Ć0858) to the carriage bushings.
D At high temperatures, and if the fan is not working correctly, the internal
resistance of the motor driver may increase, causing a decrease in the
voltage between the motor contacts, and a shutdown of the motor. D Ensure
that the encoder strip is not inverted, damaged or absent. D Reconnect or
replace the trailing cable. D Replace the carriage.

Plain + Error + Roll
: Processor fault.
D Turn the plotter off, and then on again to see if the problem disappears.
D If the problem remains, consult recent service notes for a possible solution.
D If no service note deals with this error, report the problem to your
HP Response Center. Note conditions and actions before error occurred.
Include setup sheet and service configuration plot in report.
Steady 139
Load Media + Error + Normal:
Error in XĆaxis calibration.
D Is XĆaxis calibration done? D Did you load media in correct orientation?
D Are the marks visible on the plot? If not, check cartridges. D Are cartridges
correctly aligned? If so, the problem may be in the electronics module, media
motor or driveĆroller gear; if alignment is incorrect, the problem may be in
the carriage.
Steady 238
Error + Film + Ready:
Failure of RSĆ232ĆC loopback test.
Ensure the loopback connector is the appropriate one.
If the problem remains, replace the electronics module.
