On startup, it never gets out of initializing. I have pulled and reset the formatted card. that helped the first time to get it from 1% to 32%.
At 32 % it stuck then stated that if the problem continues to update the firmware. I downloaded the firmware on a reformatted USB Fat32.
firmware title IG_12_01_01.1.fmrw.
I place the USB in before turning on per HP instructions.
USB flashed before the printer started. Then flashed quickly,. printer initiated it went to 20 %. But then you will see the spinner go around. but very slowly.
15 minutes later still at 20%.

Any thoughts,
David

The formatter board has either a network cable or USB cable plugged into it. Next to the connector there are 3 LEDS on the formatter board. They are labeled I, II, III. They will either be solid or flashing. You need to determine what the sequence of the three LEDS are in order to decode the error. Here are the most common errors.

This LED sequence points to a faulty Hard Disk:

LED1: FLASHING
LED2: OFF
LED3: OFF

Faulty Hard Disk:

LED1: ON
LED2: FLASHING
LED3: OFF

Replace the Formatter:

LED1: ON
LED2: OFF
LED3: OFF

Replace Formatter and Main PCA board:

LED1: ON
LED2: ON
LED3: OFF

Replace Main PCA board:

LED1: ON
LED2: ON
LED3: FLASHING
