The value that follows the "13" in the message window will indicate in which part of the paper path the paper is jammed. Also, the paper jam sensor at the rear of the fusing assembly may have become stuck. Check the optional duplexing paper path if the duplexer has been installed.

Message: 13 Paper Jam HP LASERJET IID, IIID Printers

13 Paper Jam HP LaserJet IID, IIID Printers Paper jams can occur in these printers when using the "automatic manual feed" as opposed to explicitly putting the printer in manual feed mode. The use of "automatic manual feed" is not a supported feature, nor is it a suggested procedure. This procedure is known to cause problems, particularly when using the lower cassette as the manual feed slot because it is more difficult to align the paper properly when it is pulled in from the lower input slot. Paper is the only print media that should be fed from the lower input slot and other types of media may not only cause jamming, but also permanent printer damage.

Message: 13 Paper Jam HP LASERJET 4, 4M, 4Plus, 4MPLus, 4P, 4MP Printers

13 Paper Jam HP LaserJet 4, 4M, 4Plus, 4Mplus, Printers Paper is jammed in the paper path or the paper jam sensor at the rear of the fusing assembly may be stuck, causing a false paper jam warning.

To prevent further jams, verify the rear door is closed securely. A false paper jam message will occur if the printer's back door is open. If message persists, the printer could have a defective paper jam sensor and service would be required.

  • The printer received more data (soft fonts, macros or graphics) than it can fit into its internal memory. Press Continue to resume printing. Purchase additional printer memory or reduce the amount of data. Data can be reduced by using fewer soft fonts and macros, smaller graphics, and a lower resolution. A repair is Not required.

Message: 20 Mem Overflow HP LaserJet IIIP, III, IIID, IIISI, 4, 4M, 4Plus, 4MPLus, 4Si, 4Si MX, 4P, 4mp Printers

  • 20 Mem Overflow
  • HP LaserJet IIIP, III, IIID, IIISI, 4, 4M, 4Plus, 4Mplus, 4Si, 4Si MX, 4P, 4MP Printers
  • The printer received more data from the computer than can fit in its available user memory. You may have tried to transfer too many macros or soft fonts, or graphics that were too complex. Press SHIFT and Continue to print the transferred data (data loss may result), then simplify the print job or install additional memory.

NOTE: Without additional memory, the HP LaserJet III family printers have some limitations when using large point sizes in scaleable fonts. This limitation also depends on the number of scaleable fonts per page and the font characteristics.

Message: 21 Error HP LaserJet IIP, IIP+, II, IID Printers

21 Error HP LaserJet IIP, IIP+, II, IID Printers The printer is unable to process very complex data fast enough for the print engine. Multiple addressing of single pixels, too many different fonts or characters in a document or too many cursor position addresses per document will cause this error. Press Continue to resume printing. Repair is not required.

Workarounds:

1. Reduce the document's complexity by using fewer fonts and removing bolding, shading, or underlining.

2. Reduce the document's graphics resolution.

Message: 21 Print overrun HP LaserJet IIIP, III, IIID, IIISI, 4, 4M, 4Plus, 4MPLus, 4Si, 4Si MX, 4P, 4mp Printers

21 Print Overrun HP LaserJet IIIP, III, IIID, IIISI, 4, 4M, 4Plus, 4Mplus, 4Si, 4Si MX, 4P, 4MP Printers Complex data (rules, graphics, dense text) have caused the printer's page formatting process to "fall behind" the printing process. For the 4 family this problem is also caused by printing too many typefaces at 600 dpi, or by printing a PostScript job at 600 dpi using only the printers base memory.


Workarounds:

1. Reduce the document's complexity by using fewer fonts and removing bolding, shading, or underlining.

2. Reduce the document's graphics resolution.

3. Select the printer's Page Protect option (Letter, A4, Legal).

The following amounts of optional printer memory are required to use the "Page Protect" feature:

HP LaserJet III Printer Family

Requires 2 MB to use page protect at Letter, A4 or Legal sizes.

Message: 22 Error - HP LaserJet IIP, IIP+, II, IID, III, IIID, IIISI, IIIP Printers

22 Error

22 I/O CNFIG ERROR		 HP LaserJet IIP, IIP+, II, IID, III, IIID, IIISI, IIIP Printers Serial buffer overflow error. The host computer did not receive, or ignored, the printer's request to suspend the flow of data causing the printer's buffer to overflow. Press Continue to clear the error message. Verify that the proper printer cable is being used and that both ends of the cable are tightly connected. If the error appears on the printer at bootup, check to see if the printers serial cable is plugged into the computer's parallel port. If running parallel, the cause could be a bad cable or printer interface. If the error appears only after data is sent, there may be incompatible handshaking protocol; for example, XON/XOFF, or DTR. By default, the printer lowers the DTR polarity and sends XOFF (DC3) to suspend the flow of data. DTR is raised and XON (DC1) sent to resume the flow.

Message: 22 Error - HP LASERJET 4, 4M, 4P, 4MP Printers

22 Error HP LaserJet 4, 4M, 4P, 4MP Printers The Serial or Parallel (bi-tronics) interface is improperly configured or there is a communication issue. Press Continue to clear the error. Some data may be lost. If on a network contact the network administrator. There may be a problem with the network interface. If the error continues after troubleshooting contact your HP dealer or Service representative.

Parallel Communication

1. Defective parallel cable or cable that is over the supported 10 foot length.

2. Verify the cable connections are secure at both ends. Disconnect and reconnect even if they look secure.

3. Set High Speed to No and Advanced Functions to "OFF" in the Parallel Menu on the front panel of the printer.

4. If using Novell network v. 3.11 and a version of PServer before 1.22. Upgrade to at least PServer v.1.22 and change the "Use Interrupts" setting in the Print Server Information section of the Novell PConsole utility to No.


Serial Communication:

1. Serial cable plugged into the parallel port on the PC (error 22 message will appear when the printer is turned on).

2. Defective serial cable or cable that is over the supported length.

3. Verify the cable connections are secure at both ends. Disconnect and reconnect even if they look secure.

4. Not using correct hardware handshaking (XON/XOFF or DTR).

22 MIO I/O Error		 HP LaserJet 4Plus, 4Mplus Printer SER=Serial interface, PAR=Parallel interface MIO=I/O card. For serial or parallel configuration, the computer and printer are not communicating because of improper signal protocols.

Parallel Configuration:

May mean a loose, cable connection, or a bad or poor quality cable.

Set High Speed to No and Advanced Functions to "OFF" in the Parallel Menu on the front panel of the printer.

Serial Configuration:

1. Wrong pacing option may have been selected. The HP LaserJet printer uses XON/XOFF and DTR/DSR signal protocols rather than ETX/ACK protocol.

2. If an error 22 is encountered with the HP LaserJet 4 Plus Printer in a UNIX (R) environment Robust XON/XOFF may need to be turned off.

MIO Configuration:

1. This is an I/O buffer overrun error. If you are using an I/O card other than the serial/Bi-Tronics Parallel I/O supplied with the printer, see the manual for that device or contact your dealer. If on a network, contact the network administrator.

Message: 40 ERROR All HP LaserJets with control panel displays

40 Error All Indicates a protocol error occurred during the transfer of data from the computer to the printer. This error can be caused by a loose or damaged cable, loss of power to the computer while the printer is online, or incompatible baud rate, parity, data bits, or stop bits settings. In addition, this error can occur on the HP LaserJet III or IIID Printer if the I/O is configured to serial and serial is set to RS-422 before a cable is attached to the serial I/O on the printer and/or the host system.
    For modular I/O (MIO) cards, this means there was an abnormal connection break. Press Continue to clear the error message. Insure that the printer and computer are configured for the same baud rate; typically 9600. Caution; do not power the computer on or off when the printer is powered on. If this problem persists, a repair may be required. If an optional I/O interface is installed, refer to that product's documentation or contact the vendor.
