OverviewA properly adjusted mechanism provides optimum print quality without impacting the mediahandling capability of the printer. Print quality improves as the nozzles come closer to the paper.If the print cartridge is positioned too close to the media, however, the printer may experiencepaper jams, print skew, or print smear.

Checking the Pen-to-Pivot Spacing (PPS)

The pen-to-pivot spacing (PPS) verifies the proper distance between the pen (PPS MeasureTool) and the pivot cockle ribs. The proper PPS distance is between 28 and 58 mils. The settingis impacted by the rotation limit of the pivot assembly and the height of the carriage rod. When

adjustment is necessary, always try to pull the PPS into tolerance by first setting the pivotrotation limit using the pivot adjuster. If the spacing cannot be obtained by the pivot adjuster,then adjust the carriage rod by installing the carriage rod adjustment tools on both ends of themechanism.

Checking the Paper Guide-to-Pivot Gap

With the pen-to-pivot spacing between 28 and 58 mils, check the paper guide-to-pivot gap. Thepaper guide-to-pivot gap determines the distance between the paper guide (which is fixed) andthe pivot when in the normal printing position (printing on paper and transparencies).

A shim is placed between the paper guide and the pivot. The difference between the reading onthe Readout/Controller with the shim in place and removed should be between 15 and 35 mils. Ifthe difference is less than 15 or greater than 35 mils, rotate the pivot adjuster to bring thedifference between 15 and 35 mils.

NoteAdjusting the paper guide-to-pivot gap affects the pen-to-pivot spacing. Check the pen-to-pivotspacing after any paper guide-to-pivot gap adjustment.

2. Lift the envelope sensor on the mechanism to raise the pivot to its maximum height.

2168907

NoteMake sure the envelope sensor remains raised during this entire procedure.

3. Slide the black print cartridge cradle over the left paper feed roller.

2168910

4. Observe the Readout/Controller display reading. The reading should be between 028.00 and058.00 mils.

If the measurement is within tolerance, continue on to the next step.

If the reading is less than 028.00 mils, rotate the pivot adjuster until the Readout/Controllerdisplays a reading of 030.00 mils. If the reading cannot be increased to 030.00 mils, thecarriage rod needs adjustment.

If the reading is greater than 058.00 mils, rotate the pivot adjuster until the Readout/Controller displays a reading of 056.00 mils. If the reading cannot be decreased to 056.00mils, the carriage rod needs adjustment.

HP DeskJet 6xx Printers - Adjustments (Adjusting the Carriage Rod) 1


Adjusting the Carriage Rod1. Replace the right and left bracket screws (part number 0515-2522). Do not tighten the new screws.

The washer, however, should just touch the bracket.

Note:

The screw/washer combination must be replaced with a larger washer to help ensure the oldwasher indentation does not affect the new adjustment.

2. Attach the right adjustment tool to the right end of the mechanism as follows:

A. Align the fixed and spring loaded posts on the right adjustment tool with the two holes on the rightside of the mechanism, just below the carriage rod tip.

B. While pushing the spring loaded post, mount the right adjustment tool on the right side ofthe mechanism. Then release the spring loaded post.

8/14/2019 manual hp 600

20/28

Note:


You may need to turn the micrometer knob in order to have both posts (fixed and spring loaded) alignwith both holes on the side of the mechanism.

Note:

If the tool is properly mounted on the mechanism, the spring loaded post will remain depressedonce you release the post.

3. Remove the rod retainer from the left end of the mechanism.

Note:

A misaligned adjustment tool could damage the mechanism. To avoid this, verify that the bracketscrew on the left side is already loose. If not, loosen the screw now.

4. Attach the left adjustment tool to the left end of the mechanism as follows:

A. Align the left adjustment tool over the left edge of the mechanism.

B. Lower the left adjustment tool such that it straddles the left edge of the mechanism.

8/14/2019 manual hp 600

Note:

You may need to turn the micrometer knob in order to have the left adjustment tool fully seat on theleft side of the mechanism.

5. Lock the left adjustment tool to the left side of the mechanism.

6. Install the LVDT.

(+2 mils).

13. Move the carriage back over the right paper feed roller and readjust to the left paperfeed roller setting

(+2 mils).

Note:

Adjusting on end of the carriage rod affects the other end of the carriage ROD. Continueto slide theLVDT to both ends of the pivot and readjust until both adjustments are within 2 mils.

14. Tighten the screws on the left and right brackets to 11.0 in-lb.

15. Double-check the settings are within tolerance by observing the Readout/Controllerdisplay.

16. Release the lever on the left adjustment tool and remove the left adjustment tool fromthe mechanism.

17. Press in on the spring loaded post on the right adjustment tool and pull the tool fromthe right side of the mechanism.

Calibrating the Banner Printer FeatureEnsure that the printer is connected to the computers printer port (LPT1 or LPT2).

1. Turn on the printer.

2. Ensure the banner lever is set to the cut-sheet (left-most position).

Note:

The Banner Lever must be in the Cut-Sheet position before proceeding.Otherwise, the printer will become misaligned and banner paper will not be picked.

3. Press the Run button in the Printer Utilities section of the DeskJet Online ServiceManual to send the banner calibration file to the printer.

4. Wait until the printer completes the calibration routine and prints the slightly modifiedDiagnostic Test.

5. Observe the Pen State value on theDiagnostic Test printout: Pen State: Steps to

bump: xxx

The number should fall within the range of 140 - 230.

Troubleshooting

1. If the number is less than 140, verify that the banner lever is positioned all the way tothe left.

2. If the number is greater than 230, verify that the pivot assembly is installed correctly inthe printer.

Optional Methods of Sending the Calibration File to the Printer

In addition to being able to send the calibration file from the DeskJet Repair Reference,

you can also send the file to the printer from a separate Banner Calibration disk. Use oneof the following methods to send the Banner Calibration file from a disk.

DOS: Use the binary copy command to send the file to

LPT1 (or LPT2). For example:

COPY/B A:\CAL.PCL LPT1 {Enter}.

Windows 3.1: You may use the MS-DOS Prompt and proceed as above or:

1. Select File Manager

2. Select the A: drive

3. Highlight CAL.PCL,

4. Select File,

5. Select Copy.

6. When prompted Copy To:, type: "LPT1" (or"LPT2")
