Question Is there a Difference between "Technician Manual" and "Service Manual" for HP Designjet and Latex?

[tinkerprinter]

So far two different people told me two different answers on this, one HP tech said that yes they are two different things and that the "Technician Manual" has more info and troubleshooting guides than the "Service Manual" which is a lot more "basic". Another technician said that they're not aware of any difference, and that basically the terms Technician Manual and Service Manual are interchangeable and refer to same thing.

Anyone like to put the question to rest with a definitive answer?

I think they are different

you have a service manual which is more end user based and a technician manual which is service tech based
they have different info. like the service manual doesn't tell you how to unlock and get into some of the more advanced menus

Great good to hear, in fact I notice in another thread here someone had posted the Technician Manual for L25500 but the links are now old and dead (see https://signs101.com/threads/hp-l25500-technician-manual.87442/ ) so if anyone has an example Technician Manual to share for an HP z-series designjet or one of the L25500/L26500 latex ones, I'd really appreciate a copy. All I see on web is just "Service Manual".
