HP Laserjet 4 manual (PDF)?

M

Michael

I need a PDF of the user's manual for the HP Laserjet 4. Does someone
have a link? Please!

I began installing this "new" old printer on a family member's PC and
was thwarted at the outset by an error code + the cryptic message "no
eps cart" after the power-on self test and preheating operations had
finished.

I just spent several hours drilling through HP's web site looking for a
manual but with no luck. While I did find a page with instructions for
locating and downloading manuals, executing those instructions did not
work because they don't match up with the actual web pages.

I believe it is telling you it either does not have a toner cartridge
installed, or it is incorrectly installed or for some other reason not
recognized by the printer.

Is there a Toner in the printer as HP tomer cartridges are labeled as EPS
Carts especially on the early models. If there is a tomer it may not be in
its "home" fully in position. Maybe take it out and replace. It may also
just need a new tomer.

Correction, I don't have the user manual. One of the files I had was
mislabeled.

It's worth getting the correct version of HP Explorer from the HP site.
This contains the online Travel Guide, a GUI manual that runs in DOS!
(the LJ4 one has a missing batch file but it's easy to fix)

HP has forums you can ask questions, but first try Googling for the
exact text of the error.

I'd guess it was "ERROR 12 Open or No EP Cartridge"
See <http://www.all-laser.com/cgibin/webc.cgi/store/errorcodes.html#ERROR12>
for one explanation.
