    garbled cm 6040

    Hello all

    I have an issue with a few cm6040s which produce garbled print randomly. The fault usually appears during a job not at the beginning and once started will produce the remainder of the document incorrectly. Switch off/on fixes it maybe for a short time , maybe a month. a colleague has changed many items in an attempt to resolve this but it has reappeared.

    HP are aware of the problem but a Channel Services post declares that there is no workaround at present.
    The fault is on at least 4 machines at two different organisations, so isn't one customers particular software/hardware combination and can fault on pdf/word excel etc. Servers are running different Windows versions and all drivers and firmware have been updated. Formatter,dc controller and memory have been changed on one machine with no fix.
    Has anyone come across this problem?

    Thanks

    Bill

    Try a add on jetdirect like a J620. Be sure to disable the internal JD first.
    This probably won't fix it but it is worth a try.

      I agree with Rob, and would add make sure the drivers/firmware is up to date, too. I'm sure you've already tried that. Please let us know what fixes this.
      Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

        I fitted a jetdirect 620n card yesterday and we'll just have to wait and see. HP are trialling new firmware and they will post on Channel Services when they are satisfied it's fixed the problem.
