What This Error Means

This error indicates a problem with the printer's non-volatile memory, which stores critical settings and calibration data. The printer may lose settings or fail to boot.

Common Causes
  • 1Degradation or corruption of the NVM chip (e.g., EEPROM or Flash memory) on the Formatter Board.
  • 2Intermittent or complete loss of power to the NVM component during a write cycle, leading to data corruption.
  • 3Firmware corruption or an unsuccessful firmware update process that affects the NVM's integrity.
  • 4Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the Formatter Board or NVM chip.
  • 5Physical failure of the Formatter Board itself, which houses the NVM.
Symptoms to Watch For
  • Printer fails to boot past the HP logo or displays a blank screen.
  • Loss of previously configured network settings, paper type calibrations, or print quality adjustments.
  • Repeated requests for initial setup (e.g., language, date/time) upon every power cycle.
  • Frequent and unrecoverable 'Service Error 0x00F60001' messages displayed on the front panel.
  • Inability to save any changes made to printer settings, which revert after a power cycle.
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide
  1. 1

    Turn off the printer and unplug it. 2. Wait 5 minutes, then plug it back in and restart. 3. If the error persists, attempt a firmware update. If it still fails, service is required.

Pro Tips from Experts

Similar to EEPROM errors, a firmware reflash is the primary step. If the error recurs, it's a strong indicator of a Main PCA hardware fault. Ensure the firmware update completes without interruption.
