HP DesignJet 2500CP error code 010021 A6502240
My PHB bought a DesignJet 2500CP on ebay a couple of years ago,
and an hour of searching HP's website and calling 800 numbers resulted in pretty much nothing. What's happening is, when we go to power up the plotter, it reports "Initializing", does some mechanical stuff (but not as much as it normally does) then says, "System Error: 010021 A6502230". I have no idea how to troubleshoot it - all I have is a VOM; and I have no idea how to find someone who can actually work on the thing. I'm in Whittier, CA, in case anyone knows somebody in this area who could work with this thing? THanks, Rich |

The user manual is available from the HP site as a PDF. It says that an initialization error code of 65xxxx means printhead failure, either ink tank is empty or an electrical problem in the head. Solution is to replace the ink system. See p. 12-12. Sounds like this machine has pretty good diagnostics built into it, and if you figure out how to order replacement parts, you can probably fix it yourself. Without even getting out your VOM! |

I've had very good luck getting manuals off the web for my Hp printers.... jak |

If you have more than one RAM SIMM installed then remove them one at a time to see which one has failed. If you only have one RAM SIMM installed then I guess you either need to borow or buy a replacement. Tony |
