HP Designjet 4000/4020 Printer Series Service Manual
Using the Buzzer at Power-up to Troubleshoot
As the Printer turns On, normally it does not make a "Beeping Sound" until completely initialized. If
one or muliple beeps are heard during the power-up sequence, this indicates there is a problem in
the Electronics Module. The table below troubleshoots the issue using the number of beeps heard.
If the printer is turned On and the Power switch Amber LED is On but the printer turns itself Off after
a few seconds during the initialization sequence, replace the CPU fan on the Main PCA
⇒ Page 8-
107.
îš„ Check that the cables between the Interconnect PCA and the Main PCA are not damaged and
