SERVICE
MANUAL
4"?. INTRODUCTION
Very litie routine operator maintenance is required for HP 33440 and HP 33449 printers. Most
maintenance and adjustment procedures are carried out only when the EP-S Cartridge is changed
or there is a print quality or paper feed problem. Since the maintainable parts of both printers are
similar, the HP 33440 has generally been used for illustration.
Note
Ml routine maintenance and adjustments are the customer's responsibility. Most
of the following procedures are included for reference only.
4-2. LIFE EXPECTANCY OF CONSUMABLES AND RELATED PARTS
The expected service live of consumables and related parts is given in Table 4-1. Nways inspect
these components for wear when servicing the printer. The expected-service-life estimates are
based on A4 or letter size prints with an average of 5 percent toner coverage at a density dial
setting of "7". The control panel self test printout produces approximately a
12
percent coverage
for the HP 33440, 10 percent for the HP 33449.
