How To Resolve Error Code 19.12.10 With Hp Latex 570

1. Check the vacuum fan: Make sure the vacuum fan is functioning properly. You can visually inspect the fan to see if there are any visible obstructions or damage. You can also listen for any unusual noises coming from the fan when the printer is turned on.

2. Restart the printer: Sometimes, simply restarting the printer can resolve temporary issues. Turn off the printer, wait for a few minutes, and then turn it back on to see if the error persists.

3. Clean the vacuum system: Dust and debris can sometimes accumulate in the vacuum system, causing issues with the fan. Use compressed air to blow out any dust and debris from the vacuum system to ensure proper airflow.

4. Check the connections: Ensure that all the connections to the vacuum fan are secure and properly connected. Loose connections can lead to issues with the fan operation.

5. Update firmware: Check if there are any firmware updates available for your HP Latex 570. Updating the firmware can sometimes resolve software-related issues, including error codes.

If you have gone through these steps and the error code persists, it may be best to contact HP support for further assistance or to schedule a service visit from a technician.

Understanding the Error:

19.12:10: This error code points to a problem with the printer's curing system, specifically a communication issue with one or more Curing Control Board PCAs.

Possible Causes:

Faulty Curing Control Board PCA(s)

Loose or damaged connections within the curing system

Software glitch

Troubleshooting Steps:

Basic Check:

Power cycle the printer: Turn it off, wait a few minutes, and turn it back on. Sometimes this resolves temporary glitches.

Check connections: Ensure all cables connected to the curing control boards and the curing heater itself are firmly seated and undamaged.

Curing Control Board Swap:

If you have access to spare curing control boards, try swapping out suspected faulty ones. This helps identify if the issue lies with a specific board.

If the error code changes after the swap (e.g., to 19.12:11), this confirms a defective board.
