Color LaserJet 4600 Paper Pickup

The Color LaserJet 4600 was introduced in 2002; it is an older design but still usable. Print quality is reasonably high, running costs fairly low and most faults are repairable with user-changeable parts.

The cassette paper pickup is unusually simple for one of HP's larger printers. Paper loads into the cassette and is held down by metal clips at either side. There is no separator pad, just a little separation plate RF5-3749. There are two quarter-moon type pickup rollers RF5-3739 that clip onto their shaft. That's it.

The multipurpose tray folds down at the front of the printer and points into a sort of bypass slot on the front of the cassette. This has conventional Tray 1 pickup roller RG9-1529 and separation pad RF5-3750.

If the rollers have been changed and paper won't pass through reliably for no readily apparent reason the entire paper pickup assembly can be changed. The part number depends on the specific model.

• The CLJ-4600 takes RG5-6468
• The CLJ-4610 and 4650 take RG5-7453

The paper pickup rollers RF5-3739 are located on the underside rear of the paper pickup assembly. (HP chose to show them above on the engineering diagram, so we have followed that convention. )

The MP Tray Pickup Roller, Separation Pad and the Cassette separation plate are all located in the cassette tray itself.
