Carriage of the printer.

My new 7520 has 2 two black trucks.  Both are 564 s, but when you check the ink levels, one on the left has a symbol of bow tie and one on the right has a symbol of the Pentagon.  What is the difference and why two carts. ?

The cartridge with the symbol of the Pentagon is the (pigmented ink) black cartridge, used for text and very dark areas on plain paper.  The cartridge with the symbol of the bowtie is the Photo (dye based) cartridge.  The black cartrdige is not used when printing on photographic support that pigmented black is not compatible with the photographic support.

When buying replacement cartridges the document here can help.  The black cartridge has a black roundabout on the packaging, the Photo cartridge has a picture of a camera.

      That you perform the following steps, be careful when handling the coding Strip as it can break easily.  

    It is possible that dust can gather on the coding Strip which will make it very difficult for the printer determine where transportation is on his trail. To clean the MICR band, perform the following steps:

    1. Turn off the printer and disconnect the power supply.
    2. Lift the cover of the printer.
    3. Using a dry, not fluffy, pinch the MICR band on the right side of the cartridge carriage and pull your fingers on the right side of the printer (Figure 1).

      Note:  
        The coding Strip is a narrow band of clear plastic and can be difficult to see without direct lighting.  
    4. Plug in the printer and the power.
    5. Open the lid to allow the transport of the cartridge to center itself.

      Figure 2: The band of coding to the left of the door-cartridges

    Someone tried for hours link my band of coding and finally found the way to do it after reading several postings on the web and my own trial and error. The key is to use a "dental mirror" that you can pick up at a pharmacy or store of material for about $5. (Maybe a small compact mirror may also work.) And you need based on the discussion there. (I used a head lamp). The problem is that you can't see the small located slot through which the coding Strip should go through the front of the printer. He is sitting behind the ink cartridges. This thin slot "tunnel" is fine a piece of rectangular plastic. You can feel the rectangular piece of plastic behind the ink cartridges, and looking through the dental mirror, you can see how small slots are on the left and right side through which the coding Strip must be threaded. After "seeing" these small slots using the dental mirror, you can feel them with the tip of your nail and then know exactly what you are aiming for as you then feed the MICR band by. (It made no difference to feed you the Strip from the left or the right, but the end of arrow to the bottom of the encoder stip must lead right when you later attach it to the wire tab). I fed the 'blind' to the band after I had formed a mental image of exacly what I was doing and now to be able to feel the small slot located I was aiming for with the tip of a fingernail. (It is difficult to work in a small space behind the ink cartridges, and if you have fingers and very big hands, it may be impossible. I didn't use tongs or tweezers because of fear of harming the MICR band.) The coding Strip should then be set at the end of the arrow towards the bottom to the right attaching to a flimsy looking wire on the right side of the printer. The left end of the coding Strip must be attached to a metal tab on the left side of the printer. You will need to retain traction on the coding Strip and manually push the ink cartridge sliding back from the road as you attatch both ends. (It's probably a good idea to carefully clean the stip encoder of all your fingerprints and ink dirty with a handkerchief once you get it back in place.) Be sure also to clean the metal bar the ink cartridges slide back, if you receive error message 0502) Be prepared for this be a very frustrating experience! You will be panicked by how many times it will take to put on the good coding Strip slot, it will be difficult to catch the end of the encoding on the wire tabs and metal band, and how you have to find a way to keep the tension on the band of coding up to one end falls that you attach the other end. But once you use the mirror to see where you need to screw the Strip encoding, and once you see the tabs of wire and metal that must be attached to the ends of the strip of coding, then YOU CAN DO! It takes just the persistence.

  • The print carriage moves do not

    The print on my Officejet 6500 Wireless carriage does not move to the Center, so I can replace the print cartridges.

    Hi 1954Monument, welcome to the forums there.

    I saw your post on the carriage does not move to have replaced ink. I would suggest for you to follow the troubleshooting guide for a jam of transportation to see if that will set in motion again.

    A 'carriage jam '.

    If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say call the Tech Support of HP to see any replacement or trade in the options for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

  • Officejet J6480 carriage jams when printing wirelessly via the plugin from HP printing service

    I try to print on my printer OfficeJet J6480 HP all-in-one to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 tablet that runs Android 4.4 Wireless using the "HP Print Service Plugin on the tablet.

    Measures already taken;

    Sucessfully downloaded/installed the Service HP Print on shelf Plugin

    Radio wireless to the printer and correctly configured to communicate with the router wirelessly activated successfully.

    Problem:

    When you try to print something from the tablet to the wireless printer, the printer is trying to perform the print operation (flow paper in the printer from paper tray, shows 'Printing' on the printer screen), but then never made a real impression and gets a 'Transport Jam' indication on the printer screen.

    When this occurs above, I opened the hood top, checked for jammed paper in the paper path (Nothing), did tension of printer many times, cycle of fact alignments cleanings and cartridge many times, changed the paper to different types of paper.

    None of these actions corrected the problem...

    I'll also add that when you perform the steps of printing with the radio wireless on off the printer and the cable connected to the printer, the printer functions normally when you print from my pc applications - no traffic jams. Also, the printer works normally when you perform a function 'copy' locally from the printer control panel - not roadways of jams.

    I thought maybe an update of the firmware to the printer could solve this problem - ideas about this being a likely solution?

    BTW - how you normally clear / would correct a cart-jam regardless of printing wirelessly or through an ethernet cable?

    If the firmware update is not a solution, any comment on what could be the cause of the problem?

    If an update is available, could you tell me how to do the upgrade and where can I download it from?

    Thanks for all your comments... Denny

    E - rog,

    Two things I wanted to first of all thank you a lot for the response to my original message concerning the problem of printing wirelessly to my printer HP J6480 of the Tablet, Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 via the Plugin of Service HP Print.

    Secondly, I wanted to aplogize for the very long delay in responding to your... I had some health problems with a family member who prevented me to try your suggestions to the problem.

    I am pleased to report that I managed to solve the problem... I am now able to print to the printer of the tablet.

    A little history on the fix...

    I tried to download and install the update of the firmware from the link you provided, while having the printer connected to the PC (Windows) computer via a USB connection, as you suggest. (It was initially connected through my home network, so I had to first uninstall, then reinstall via USB connection). When you try to install the downloaded firmware it failed, even after several attempts to re-downloading/reinstalling.

    Instead, I uninstalled the printer again, reinstalled over the home network, downloaded the update of the firmware directly from the HP site by locating the printer model, then the firmware. This time the firmware successfully installed (was able to view the progress of installation of the firmware in the display on the front panel of the printer). Make the installation of the firmware with the printer installed on the network domestic (instead fo via USB), the installation process allowed me to search for the printer on the network - it found it successfully and successfully installed the firmware.

    After this successful firmware installation and turn on the wireless radio on the printer (via the button on the front panel), I was able to print successfully from the tablet... YES!

    Needless to say, there is no carriage jam messages as before... and I did not try your other suggestions to go to the HP article on carriage jam error States/solutions.

    I am really gratefull for your response/suggestions...fixing this problem did the usefulness of my tablet to increase dramatically to have the ability to print... cudos to you for your efforts on this forum and a big "thumbs up" for your records.

  • Printer AIO L7580 irremovable way carriage stuck to the right of the printer

    I have a hp L7580 all-in-one who served me for many years. All of a sudden the printer carriage has become irremovable way stuck at the right end of the race, under a cover which can be removed only with great difficulty. None of the fixes suggested here or elsewhere, help at all (I tried), nor really solve the problem I have. They all seem to assume that the transport can still be moved manually. In my case, it's completely motionless, as if something had really stuck below. During switching on the printer produces noise grinding than he ever has before and who suggest he tries to move the cart. and then error message 'transport jam '. I suspect that some piece of plastic broke the wagon and stuck it moves. If there is a problem I can fix it myself, well and good; If this isn't the case, I have a printer Canon brand new, waiting to be unpacked and installed. Any suggestions that don't require me to spend money on this printer are welcome. Thanks in advance.

    Hi ewbd,

    I understand that you have an Officejet L7580 which currently holds a cart that won't be moved. I'm sorry to hear what is happening but will do my best to guide you to the next step.

    Thank you informing him of what you tried so I don't waste your time by offering the same things again and again. If you are able to remove the cover and you can't see nothing physically blocking the cart moves, there is not a lot that you will be able to do. You can take a look on YouTube as tech people will often post some videos on how to take the printer apart looking for the broken and other pieces.

    However, I believe that your printer sounds like it be managed at end and it may be best to move to the next printer.

    Thanks for posting in the Forums of HP, and I hope you have a nice day!

  • Photosmart Premium ink cartridge stuck on the right side of the printer.

    I have a HP Photosmart Premium printer, the ink cartridge is stuck on the right side of the printer. Keep receiving an error message that says: "remove paper jam and then press ok.  I did all the steps to clear any torn or ripped from the inside of the printer paper, there was never any paper in there for blocking up inside anyway. When I opened the top of the printer my container of cartridge will not move at all, he's stuck.  It won't control the printer or by my own doing when the printer is turned off without being able to. The error and lack of time with my printer cartridge do not allow me to use the printer, I hope you can help me in anyway possible. Thank you.

  • The printer jam

    I have a HP 8500 has more while a printer - it seems that the sons are blocking the carriage from moving. I see a long silver thread that I guess is supposed to keep the son of the road while the printer is in motion, but I can't seem to find the right way to keep them because they are loose and still block the moving trolley. All diagrams of how the wires should be would be useful or how to solve this problem. Thank you

I recommend reading this article, you have already done some steps here, but there is more information you have not mentioned by train.

    If the issue is not resolved, take these last steps to remove all the drivers printer currently installed that might be causing the problem:

    1. Choose  menu Apple > System Preferences, and then click Printers and scanners.
    2. Control-click anywhere in the list of devices, and then choose "Reset printing system" from the context menu that appears.
    3. From the Finder, choose go > go to folder. Type /Library/Printers/ , and then click surGo.
    4. The Printers folder opens. Choose Edition > select all to select all the items in the folder.
    5. Choose file > new folder with selection to all the selected items in a new folder named new folder with the elements.
      To save storage space, you can delete the folder new folder with items after you complete the remaining steps.
    6. Follow the steps described in previous section once more.

    If your printing problem is not resolved, contact the manufacturer of the printer to support.
