• HP LaserJet P1606dn

    From peter@easthope.ca@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 2 17:49:04 2024
    Hi,

    A HP LaserJet P1606dn produced the output in the scan here.

    http://easthope.ca/HPLaserJet.P1606dn.jpg

    No obvious leakage from the toner cartridge.

    Does anyone recognize the failure?

    Ideas?

    Thanks, ... P.

    Recognize the pattern. The large black swipe occurs once each
    revolution of the drum. Would appear to be a drum "issue".

    That's the result of trying to print a sheet of labels: <https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/Printer-quot-ate-quot-Avery-label-now-printer-makes-thumping/td-p/5867594>

    Measure the interval distance between stripes. Divide by Pi (3.1416).
    The result is the diameter of the roller or drum that has the sticky
    glue from the labels on its surface. Looking at that photo, my
    guess(tm) is 2.8 inch interval. Dividing by Pi yields 0.89 inches
    which is the diameter of the roller or drum with the sticky glue. I
    can't tell which roller from here because I'm not familiar with the
    P1606.

    The vertical bar is from toner one of the paper feed rollers. You
    should be able to match its position on the printed page with the feed
    roller position in the printer.

    Note that the P1606dn is a color laser printer. It would have been
    helpful if the photo of the printed page was in color and not
    converted to monochrome. That might help identify the culprit roller
    or drum.

    Good luck.
