 | HP Officejet R60 carriage by Brewsterbuff (8/25/08 2:41 AM) reply | + / - | My R60 printer is now giving me a message that the carriage will not move. On the last several pages printed, I was getting little rectangular pieces of plastic (?) on the paper. When I would wipe them away it left a light smudge. Could that be pieces of the drive belt? Could one of them be stuck in the carriage? Is this something a Mr. Fixit could repair? I have nothing to loose since it doesn't work anyway. The scanner stopped working a couple of years ago and everybody told me to throw it away. I found this site tonight and will try to fix the scanner myself if I can get the carriage working. THANKS, Don

I have tried to get down to the area where I remove the carriage but so far have not been able to figure out how to remove the top of the machine (scanner bed). I may need a link to show me how to do that. Don

| Re: HP Officejet R60 carriage by Bert  (8/27/08 2:13 PM) reply | + / - | You will need T10 and T20 Torx head drivers.
Removing the ADF
1. Unplug the external cables in the rear coming from the Automatic Document Feeder.
2. Open the scanner lid to about 90 degrees and lift straight up to remove it.
Removing the case
Preliminary
Turn on the power. Open the printer as if you are going to change a cartridge and then unplug the power.
Removing the rear cover
There are two push latches underneath that release the rear panel. It will hinge upward.
Cables
Removing the rear panel will reveal some cables connected to the scanner. Disconnect them.
Removing the Scanner
Tilt the scanner upward as if you are going to access the cartridges. You will see two large springs. Remove them. The front of the scanner pivots on two large hinges. Pry them apart with a slot style screwdriver. They will resist but will release and allow the scanner to rotate upwards. Rotate the scanner approximately 90 degrees and it will lift off of it's rear hinges. Use caution as you remove it in case you do not have all of the cables previously mentioned disconnected.
Removing the rest of the case
There is a flat piece held on by four T10 Torx screws and two side covers that will hinge outward when two T20 Torx screws on each one are removed. When the side covers hinge outward they can be removed.

While apart I also tried to fix the scanner (clean glass and install a new bulb) but could not figure out how to get the glass out and get to the bulb. Can you help on this one? THANKS! Don

Officejet G85, removing the scanner glass
1. Unplug the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) cable in the rear.
2. Remove the ADF. Open it as if manually scanning a document and lift straight up.
3. Remove the two T20 Torx head screws in the well where the ADF hinge was.
4. Release the latch under the right and left corners of the control panel and the glass assembly will lift off.
I suggest cleaning the glass, lamp (assuming that it still illuminates), and scanner head mirror (in the slot parallel to the lamp) before replacing the lamp.
You can get a generic cold cathode fluorescent lamp here. Select the closest size by diameter and length.
