Tell me about the maintenance program

 

System Maintenance

By choosing Administration > Maintenance..., you launch the HTML-based System Maintenance program. Using this program, you can, for example, carry out printer-specific maintenance tasks. For this purpose, the maintenance program must have been started on the server (via the HP Designjet 50ps EngineManager).

While the maintenance program is running, no jobs are output on the printer. All other processes in the HP Designjet 50ps PrintManager continue.

The following tasks are covered by the System Maintenance program:

  • Function Analyze my printer (requires an Internet connection for the server)
  • Function Image quality analysis (requires an Internet connection for the server)
  • Updating the printer with a new firmware version
  • Aligning and cleaning the print heads
  • Editing the settings of the Jetdirect interface card (reset to factory defaults)
  • Emergency mode (if, for example, the printer was switched off while new firmware was being installed): Using this mode, the printer can be reprogrammed and restored to a state appropriate for operation.
  • Printing of a test page that can be used to check whether the paper is fed straightly (important for true-to-register printing on both sides)
  • Printing of a page containing printer information (for diagnostic purposes during troubleshooting)

The steps to be carried out are explained in detail in the program.

Important: Always quit the maintenance program by using the Exit button provided for this purpose! Closing it via the corresponding browser icon does not terminate the program as such.
