HP Designjet 130/130nr Printer - Quick Reference Guide
The Problem is there is a Printhead Failure
If a printhead fails or needs attention, the corresponding printhead icon on the
front panel will flash.
Make sure the printhead is correctly seated. If this is not the problem, the most
likely cause of failure is that the printhead contacts need to be cleaned. You will
need the following cleaning materials:
• Clean, soft, lint-free material that will not come apart or leave fibres when
damp (a coffee filter, for example)
• Distilled or filtered water
• Paper towels
Make sure the printer is powered on, then do the following:
1. Open the front hinged flap at the right of the printer.
2. Open the second (back) part of the flap and lift it back fully. The print
carriage will move to the left and then back to the right. Wait for it to stop.
When the carriage has stopped moving, unplug the power cable from the
printer.
3. Pull the printhead cover up and towards you, so that the hook at the front
unlatches itself, and then push the whole cover back so that the printheads
are exposed.
4. Remove the failed printhead by lifting the small handle at the top front and
using it to pull the printhead vertically up and out of the printer.
