Hello,
<UPDATES IN RED TEXT BELOW>
The purpose of this post is to inform the community of one of the causes of and suggestions on how to resolve the 59.F0 error issue for the CP4025, CP4525 and CM4540.
<ITB Primary Transfer Roller Alienation- Sensor Flag Sticking in Up Position>
The ITB (Intermediate Transfer Belt, aka. Transfer Kit) has a feature that removes the contact of primary transfer rollers (one for each color under the belt surface) when the printer is not running to prevent sets, etc. The printer knows the location of the transfer rollers by cycling the system and getting a response from the sensor: (K on Manual Sensor Test for 4025/4525 and SR9 on CM4540). The ITB has a white plastic pusher (in image #3 below) that moves the sensor flag lever (POSITION DETECT ASSY) on the printer (can be seen on left side with ITB removed hanging down from sheet metal cutout- Image #3). The flag passes through the photo interrupter of the sensor. The sensor flag/lever is returned to the home postion (down-image #2) by gravity. In some cases, the sensor flag/lever can become stuck in the up position (see image #1 and #3 below). When the flag/lever sticks or returns slowly the result can be a 59.F0 error.
Below is a recommended suggestion to resolve this problem:
- Upgrade the FW (http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=3965807&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4062)
- If the error persisits, remove the ITB
- Remove the fuser and on the left side (front of printer side) you can see the sensor flag holder (image #1 and #2 below)
- If the sensor flag/lever is stuck in the up position then reach in and carefully release the part with your fingers. The images below show the sensor flag/lever stuck in the up position. Actuate the flag/lever a few times to make sure it is loosened up.
- Re-install the ITB
- Re-install the fuser
- Reboot to see if the error clears
If the issue returns in a short period of time, then the flag/lever is likely dragging and returning slowly or getting stuck again. If this occurs, then it is recommended to:
- Use the attached document «59.F0_Error_Position Detect Assy Cleaning(CP4025_CP4525) to clean the POSITION DETECT ASSY to resolve the sticking flag.
NOTE: The ITB is typically not the cause of this issue.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
DaveK.

How to fix the 59.F0 Error
59.F0 Error Description:
This 59.F0 (that is F-zero, not F-oh) error is primarily caused by a transfer alienation failure in which the ITB is stuck and unable to rotate, the SR9 sensor (the primary transfer roller disengagement sensor) has gone bad or the fuser drive assembly has failed.
The 59.F0 error is a common error on the CP and CM, and M version HP Color LaserJet products. Printers such as the HP Color LaserJet CP3525, CP4025, CP4525, M651, M680 and CM4540 encounter the dreaded 59.F0 error often.
59.F0 Error Code
Even the newer LaserJets M477 and M452 encounter the 59.F0 error. However, in the case of these models, the cause is a timing issue which can be resolved by updating the DC Controller firmware (contact Metrofuser for further information regarding this fix). Either way, diagnosing the 59.F0 error issue could be time consuming and costly.
59.F0 error, the usual culprit is a failing Fuser Drive Assembly
For a 59.F0 error, the usual culprit is a failing Fuser Drive Assembly; this assembly drives the fuser and also turns a flag on your transfer belt assembly.
HP 59.F0 Error Found on The HP Color laserJet CP3525 CM3530 CP4525 & CM4540
Solution to the 59.F0 Error
When troubleshooting the 59.f0 error, we recommend starting with the transfer belt itself. Remove the belt from the printer. On the right-hand side there is a white round protrusion that engages the belt with the drive assembly. You can rotate this clockwise (2) to rotate the belt and if all goes well, unlock the sensor flag into position (1).

If the flag fails to engage downwards or spin, then replace the belt. This is a common issue on the CP3525, CP4025, CP4525 and CM4540 series products.
If replacement of the transfer belt does not resolve the 59.F0 error, then it could either be the Fuser Drive Gear assembly or the solenoid located on the assembly. Gaining access to this assembly is time consuming and could take up to four hours. Due to the amount of assemblies required just to gain access to the Drive Assembly, plan on at least two hours to obtain access to the solenoid itself.

59.F0 error repair and the HP Color laserJet CP3525 CM3530 CP4525 & CM4540 59.F0 solenoid
Much like the solenoids that release to engage the Tray 2 pickup drive, the Fuser Drive Assembly solenoid may also be sticking due to the wear of the noise dampening sponge, which can expose the glue causing the timing of the Fuser Drive Gear to slip.
The picture above shows the Fuser Drive Assembly removed from the machine. The highlighted screws are required to be removed in order to access the solenoid.
The next picture shows the access point of the screws on the assembly still located inside the printer. These screws are accessible by removing the back cover, DC Controller, Low Voltage Power Supply and High Voltage Power Supply (both upper and lower).
The Main Drive Assembly (MDA) is not required to be removed to gain access to
the solenoid. After removal of the solenoid, denatured or 99% alcohol can be used to remove the glue from it. Remove the spring and armature from the solenoid. Thoroughly clean any residual adhesive left by the old solenoid pad. Be sure to also clean the underside of the armature before reassembling the solenoid.
Three or four layers of electrical tape can be applied in order to act as a replacement noise dampener. It is also recommended as to eliminate the magnetic charge that could build up when the solenoid arm strikes the base.
The solenoid is not always the issue. If the sponge is intact, and it does not stick, the Fuser Drive Assembly may very well be the issue. The part number for the Fuser Drive Assembly solenoid is RK2-0950.
If the transfer belt and Fuser Drive Assembly solenoid are good, the gears on Fuser Drive Assembly may be out of alignment. The three gears at the backside of the solenoid are keyed to keep them properly synchronized. Often, these gears will skip a tooth and then be out of sync, causing a 59.F0 error. Once the Fuser Drive Assembly is removed from the printer, you can easily remove two of these three gears and realign them so that the keyed gaps and teeth are in the right spots.
The Fuser Drive Assembly part numbers are as follows:
-
HP Color LaserJet CP3525 Simplex RM1-5001
-
HP Color LaserJet CM3530 CP3525 Duplex RM1-4974
-
HP Color LaserJet CM4540 Duplex RM1-5656
-
HP Color LaserJet CP4520 CP4525 Duplex RM1-5656
-
HP Color LaserJet CP4520 CP4525 Simplex RM1-6702
59.F0 Error Repair Difficulty Level
The 59.F0 level of repair is a 9 out of 10. Depending on the level of technical expertise, this procedure should take approximately four to five hours from start to finish if replacing the Fuser Drive Assembly.

To update your printer firmware, you’ll need to go to the HP website and download the latest version of the firmware for your printer model. Once you’ve downloaded the firmware, follow the instructions on how to install it on your printer.
If you’re still having trouble with the 59.f0 error after trying all of these troubleshooting steps, we recommend doing our expert fix for the 59.f0 error code.
Advanced Troubleshooting Steps To Fix 59.f0 Error On HP Printer
If you’ve tried the steps above and you’re still getting the 59.f0 error on your HP Color LaserJet M452Nw, M477dw, or M277, you can try resetting the Intermediate Transfer Belt or the ITB. This is a process that will require you to open up your printer and access the main board.
We recommend doing this only if you’re comfortable opening up your printer and working with electronic components. If you’re not comfortable, we recommend taking your printer to a professional for service.
To fix the HP printer error 59.f0, check all of its internal connections such as those on ITB and sensor. Make sure they’re tight too! If everything looks good then try resetting it by following these steps:
Total time to fix 59.f0 error: 30 minutes
Access the inside of your HP printer.
Open the access door on the right of your HP printer.
Locate the intermediate transfer belt.
Hold the blue lever inside and carefully pull it on both ends of this transfer belt assembly. You’ll need to pull it towards you for easy access so make sure you’re doing it correctly!
Look for two large handles.
Once you’ve pulled out enough of the transfer belt, two large handles should pop free.
Remove the transfer belt
Hold both large handles on the transfer belt and pull until it is completely free from its connection.
Installing the new ITB
The new transfer belt should be installed in reverse order. Be careful not to touch the surface of your transfer belt while installing it. This can cause some serious damage to your HP printer.
Setting up the newly installed ITB
Go to the “Control Panel” of your HP printer and press the “Home” button, so you can start resetting the New Transfer Kit Setting. At the “Administration” menu, click on “Manage Supplies”.
