HP Laserjet 2200
A fairly fast mono A4 laser printer originally aimed at small workgroups.
The LaserJet 2300 is very similar but has an LCD control panel for user support.
A simplified control panel with just a "Go" and "Job Cancel" button and LED status indicators. Other controls are via software. Drivers are supplied for Microsoft Windowns NT4, 9X, 2000, Me, and Mac OS 7.5.5. There are scripts on the web for Unix and Linux. Network models have HP Web Jetadmin. Because these printers are quite robust and often used on a network lack of a control panel can be a nuisance.
Job Cancel - cancels a job the printer is currently busy with. Control panel lights will cycle whilst the job clears from memory and then return to ready (Ready Light On).
Go - in the ready state the Go button will print a demo page. Go will also resume printing when the printer is paused or when there is unprinted data in memory. Go will also clear some errors.
Self Test and Configuration prints when the ready light is on. Press and realease both Go and Job Cancel simultaneously . If a JetDirect card is installed a second page will show its configuration.
The configuration page is one way to get error codes from the Status Log. Cold reset sets all system parameters to factory defaults. Turn the power off. Press and hold Go. Turn the printer on continuing to hold go until the Attention light comes on. Now release got. The device lights will cyccle a few times as the rest process runs. This also resets the EIO card.
NVRAM initialization sets all system parameters and the NVRAM to factory defaults. the procedure is as for cold reset but wait until Attention, Ready and Go lights all turn on.
There is an internal engine test button behind the EIO cover however it should only be pressed with a non conductive object and is not recommended for ordinary users as it is close to the power cord socket.
Service mode is entered by sending PJL commands to the printer. See the service manual.

The fuser uses heat and pressure to adhere the image made in toner to the page. Fusers last a long time but ultimately they lose their non-stick properties. Other failures are that the heater breaks down after numerous cycles, or that the roller or foil degenerates.
