This is the system error code list for the HP Designjet Z2100, Z3100 and Z3200. When the printer shows a system error on the front panel, find the code below to see what it means and what to try, in order. Codes ending in YZ cover every variation of that number (for example, 01.0:10).
Tip: Always power cycle the printer first. If a fix calls for a replacement part, replace one part at a time and check whether the error clears before replacing the next. Need help finding the right part? Call 760 749 1580 or email sales@lpscomputer.com.
