DesignJet 5000 Series Plotter System Error Codes
Introduction
NOTE Before troubleshooting System Errors, if possible, repeat the
procedure performed when the error was reported.
NOTE When reporting the System Error Code, make sure that you
supply the full Error Code and the firmware version (displayed
during the initialization process when powering ON the Printer
or available in the User’s Printer Setup Utilities Statistics
menu).
The following pages contain a list of System Error Codes and their
respective descriptions and recommended corrective actions. Only
try one recommended action at a time and check if the Error Code
has disappeared.
System Error Codes consist of two groups of alphanumerics:
[XXXXXX]-[YYYYZZZZ]
The first set of 6 alphanumeric characters consists of the System
Error and the second set of 8 digits, when present, refer to the
internal error data.
NOTE If the YYYY digits in the second set of 8 characters are zero
[0000ZZZZ], this indicates a LAN Card System Error. The last
four digits [ZZZZ] of the Error Code must be reported to the
vendor support organization:
For HP JetDirect Cards, this error code must be reported to
the iIPS Division Support.
For 3rd party LAN Cards, the HP support organization should
communicate to the customer that they should address it
through the 3rd party vendor support structure.

Follow up:

If you have an error code which is not documented in this Service
Manual or you have an error which you cannot resolve, then report
the error to the HP Response Center or the nearest HP Support
Office. When reporting the error, have the following information
ready:
Which firmware revision the Printer is using.
The complete error number.
Which software application the customer is using (name, version,
etc.).
Continuable and Non-Continuable Error Codes
Some of the Error Codes are continuable, which means you can
press Enter on the front-panel and continue working with the
Printer. Non-Continuable Error Codes do not allow you to continue
working with the Printer, in this case power the Printer OFF and ON
again and see if the System Error disappears. If the Error Code
reappears, then the Printer requires an on-site visit in order to
resolve the problem.
NOTE Even though the customer can continue working with a
Continuable Error Code, an on-site visit should still be planned
to troubleshoot the problem.

System Error: ffff ffff xxxxxxxx (General Firmware Error)
Problem
Description:
All ffff ffff errors are general firmware errors. This does not mean
that the firmware has failed, but that the firmware (as a piece of
software) has experienced an internal crash and before doing
anything incorrectly it displays this error. We can compare this to the
"blue-screen" that appears in the Windows operating system when
there is a software problem. These errors also mean a system crash.
Usually, the errors are sporadic and appear very randomly. The best
solution is just to switch the Printer OFF and ON and check if the
problem has disappeared (as in Windows). Frequently, the problem
will disappear.
However, sometimes the same system error appears quite often or it
is permanent. Its root cause (as explained above) may not
necessarily be a firmware problem; it could also be related to the Ink
Supplies, Electronics Module, etc.
In this situation, please take note of the Firmware version, the
situation where the problem can be reproduced and the
COMPLETE system error code and report it to the division.
Corrective Action: Try the following:
Power-cycle the Printer and to check whether it still fails.
If it still fails, upgrade to the latest Firmware revision (as the
newer revisions are more stable and solve many of the problems)
and check whether it still fails.
If it still fails, report the error to the division. In this case, it is
important to report the firmware revision the printer is using, the
complete error number, which software application the customer
is using (name, version, etc.) and as much information as possible
about when it occurred.
System Error: ffff ffff 02b301b0
Problem
Description:
This error usually appears at the beginning of Printhead Alignment
due to a firmware bug.
Corrective Action: If the error appears frequently, upgrade to firmware release A.02.xx.
NOTE This problem is solved in any A.02.xx firmware release.

System Error: ffff ffff 01dcxxxx
Problem
Description:
There is a problem with the I/O Card (happens during power-up).
Corrective Action: Try the following:
Disconnect the Network Cable and check if the error still appears
during power-up.
If the error does not appear again, then the problem may have
been that the Printer was receiving some information through the
port while powering-up.
If the error does appear again, then power OFF the Printer,
remove the I/O Card from the back of the Printer and power ON
the Printer again. Check if the error still appears during power-up.
– If the error does appear again, replace the Main PCA ( Page
8-79) or the Hard Disk Drive ( Page 8-72).
– If the error does not appear again (powers-up correctly without
the I/O Card), then try inserting the I/O card in the second slot to
check if it works. If it doesn’t work in the second slot, then replace
the I/O Card. If the new I/O card also fails, replace the Main PCA
( Page 8-79) or the Hard Disk Drive ( Page 8-72).
System Error: ffff ffff 030d0170 or ffff ffff 030d0171
Problem
Description:
At power-up, the Printer thinks it is smaller than 42 inches.
Corrective Action: Try the following:
Check that there are no obstacles in the Scan-Axis which stops
the Carriage from reaching the end-stops on both sides.
Check that the Carriage moves freely from side to side.
Check that the IDS Crane is installed correctly on top of the
Carriage and that the Carriage Cover is clipped on correctly.
System Error: ffff ffff 031609xx
Problem
Description:
This error code only appears if the Main PCA was replaced without
removing the media from the Printer, because the firmware tries to
find the last media information in the EEROM. Since the
information cannot be found, this error code is displayed.
Corrective Action: Remove the media and re-boot the Printer. This error code should
not appear again.

System Error: ffff ffff 03450097
Problem
Description:
If the Window is opened during the cutting operation, the Printer
hangs and the Carriage suddenly stops. Also, if you press any key
on the front panel this error code (ffff ffff 03450097) may be
displayed.
Corrective Action: Re-boot the Printer and make sure that the Window is never opened
during the cutting operation.
NOTE This problem is solved in any A.02.xx firmware release.
System Error: ffff ffff 036000bd
Problem
Description:
This firmware error code is related to the detection of the Printhead
cleaners by the line sensor. It always happens during initialization,
while checking the Printhead Cleaners. In most case, it is a problem
of incorrectly inserted Printhead Cleaners, but it can also be caused
by an incorrectly assembled Service Station.
Corrective Action: Try the following:
Remove the Printhead Cleaners and reinsert them again.
If the error still persists, perform the Service Station Calibration
Page 5-11.
If the error still persists, an onsite visit is necessary to repeat the
calibration or to change the Service Station assembly or the
Carriage Assembly.
System Error: ffff ffff 036e0136

the Printhead because if it was, the Printhead would be marked as
XX21 REPLACE.
Corrective Action: Try the following:
Re-boot the Printer and the error code should not appear again.
If the problem continues to appear and the customer is using an
external RIP, ask them to try one of the internal print modes by
printing from the HP Driver. If the problem disappears, then the
RIP print mode was causing the problem and the customer should
contact the RIP vendor.
