HP LaserJet 5200

Replacement-parts configuration
Perform the procedures in this section when these parts are replaced:
●
Formatter and DC controller
●
Formatter (new)
●
DC controller (new or previously installed in another printer)
NOTE The HP LaserJet 5200 Series printers store printer configuration information in
Nandflash. Always print a configuration page before and at least five minutes after installing these
parts and turning the printer on to verify that the printer configuration information is restored from
Nandflash memory to the NVRAM.
Formatter and DC controller
WARNING! Do not replace the formatter and the DC controller at the same time. If the formatter
and the DC controller must both be replaced, install a replacement formatter first.
If the formatter and the DC controller need to be replaced, install a replacement formatter first. After
replacing the formatter, turn the printer on. When READY appears on the control-panel display, wait at
least five minutes before using the printer so that the printer configuration information can be restored
from DCC memory to the NVRAM or formatter.
Turn the printer off, replace the DC controller, and then turn on the printer. When READY appears on
the control-panel display, wait at least five minutes before using the printer so that the printer
configuration information can be restored from the formatter NVRAM to the DCC NVRAM.
Formatter (new)
The HP LaserJet 5200 Series printers store printer configuration information in the NVRAM memory.
After replacing the formatter, turn on the printer. When READY appears on the control-panel display,
wait at least five minutes before using the printer so that the printer configuration information can be
restored from the DCC NVRAM to the formatter NVRAM.
DC controller (new or previously installed in another printer)
After replacing the DC controller, turn on the printer. When READY appears on the control-panel display,
wait at least five minutes before using the printer so that the printer configuration information (such as
pages counts and the serial number) can be restored from the formatter NVRAM to the DCC NVRAM.
Formatter
The HP LaserJet 5200 Series printers store printer configuration information in the NVRAM memory.
After replacing the formatter, turn on the printer. When READY appears on the control-panel display,
wait at least five minutes before using the printer so that the printer configuration information can be
restored from the formatter NVRAM memory to the CompactFlash.
If the CompactFlash also needs to be replaced, remove the formatter. After replacing the formatter, turn
on the printer. When Ready appears on the control-panel display, wait at least five minutes before using
the printer so that the printer configuration information can be restored from the formatter memory.
