20 Most Recent HP LaserJet 4600dn Color Printer - Page 3 Questions & Answers

Did the printer have a rough ride? HP's service manual suggests this to be a laser error on the yellow laser scanner, though these printers usually withstand shipping without any problems. Just for grins, if you can get the printer to get to READY again, run the printer through a complete calibration (from the control panel: Configure Device/Print Quality/Calibrate Now). The DC controller circuit board is also a possibility, but given the error code popped up almost as soon as you plugged the machine in suggests the yellow scanner has suffered some sort of mechanical damage from the trip. If the calibrate routine doesn't remedy the problem and you want to be sure, you could do the major disassembly required and swap the yellow scanner with the scanner for another color in the printer and if the error code changes to 51.2M (magenta), 51.2C (cyan) or 51.2K (black) (the code will reflect which scanner you exchanged with the one in the yellow position) you'll have confirmed the scanner is the problem, or if no change, then the DC controller is next in the chain.
Any further questions feel free to ask.

The black line is either coming from the toner cartridge or the transfer belt. You can usually see a line on the transfer belt if that is the cause. Just open the large fron door and look at the transfer belt that is mounted inside the door. If you can see a line of toner on it similar to what you see on the page then there is your cause. You can also look at the drum in the black toner cartridge to see if there is a line on it as well. That should elp you determie wether to change it or not. Are you using remainufactured toners or OEM HP?
Than You for using Fixya.

Hi ....first replace all the dimms on the slot except j-1 that is firmware,& refix one by one for tracing the problem ,after installation all the dimms problem persists then replace the formatter bord.

This problem generates generally firmware error that caused processor on the bord stopped operation,it generate due to invalid print commond,invalid operations,electrical noise,poor quality of interphase cable.

The printer counter needs to be reset by going into menu and finding resets. Then toggle down until you come across Transfer Kit & press ok.

clean the inside of the printer or check it.

You can adjust the page size in the software application you are creating your document with. By doing this the printer should enable you to print your document. You can also choose to input a customized size. Make sure you choose the cardstock setting so the printer will not cause a paper jam, and it will be able to heat the fuser up enough so the toner will stick to the card stock.

cyan scanner bad

You need to have the disengaging plate replaced. The part # is RB2-8239 if don't have experince with this machine I would recomend that you have a trained tech do it. It is a pain to do.
