Accessing SECONDARY SERVICE MODE to Change Pickup Roller For HP PRO Series

The only way to change the pickup rollers on these rear feed printers is to rotate the roller to the service position – which is only accessible through the secondary service mode.

*Do not attempt to rotate the roller manually this would render the printer inoperable

Some service manuals for the mentioned models can be unclear on accessing this menu so a clarification as follows:

SECONDARY SERVICE MENU:

  • From the printers ready (home) screen press the” setup”  icon (you should see the printers main menu list)
  • In succession press callout 1 (left navigation arrow) THEN immediately press callout 2 (cancel) and release BOTH. The printer should now show the ready (home) screen.
  •  Press the setupicon again you should now see “SECONDARY SERVICE MENU” first in the menu list.
  • Press the secondary service icon
  • Scroll down and select “PICK ROLLER”
  • Turn off power by disconnecting power cable   (Turning off by power button will rotate the roller back to home position)
  • Release to plastic locking tabs and remove roller.
