HP DesignJet 5000 Series Printers Service Manual
Introduction
The Printer has several calibration procedures that must be 
performed under certain conditions.  Refer to the table on the next 
page to determine when calibrations are required.
Phone Support
In certain circumstances, a Call Agent can try and troubleshoot the 
Printer by requesting the Customer to perform a Service Calibration 
via the phone. In Phone Support  the user will have access to a 
limited number of Calibrations (on-site repair calibrations are 
excluded).
If a Service Calibration fails, a four digit (xxxx) calibration error 
code is reported which can be used to determine whether the Printer 
requires any on-site maintenance. Up to three error codes can be 
reported for each Calibration. To troubleshoot Service Calibration 
Error Codes refer to the Page 5-26.
NOTE
If a calibration fails, the Printer will use the previous successful
calibration. If you have a  Print Quality problem you must
troubleshoot the error to restore quality. 
WARNING
REMEMBER THAT CERTAIN CALIBRATIONS ARE
REQUIRED EVEN IF AN ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN
DISASSEMBLED TO GAIN ACCESS TO ANOTHER
ASSEMBLY OR COMPONENT.
