5. Collecting log files
Start the machine in download mode, and save (collect) the log files to a USB device or a PC.
CAUTION:
In the case of analysis using Sublog, the following information needs to be obtained together with the Sublog.
• Symptom that has occurred (from service technician's viewpoint as far as possible)
• Date and time of the event (from an hour before the event to an hour after the event)
• Reports (P-Print, HIST-PRT, job logs, communication management report, etc.)
• Printed data and original at the time of reproduction (depends on the trouble that has occurred)
Besides Sublog, the above-mentioned information is required due to the following reasons:
• Failures such as a process being stopped due to an error or an unintended behavior are easy to find, but failures such
as "the behavior is slow" are difficult to analyze based on operation logs only.
• Since the number and size of the files are huge, the information helps to find the operation log where the problem
occurred.
• When R&D reproduces the failure, it is necessary to use information such as the procedure used by the customer,
frequency of use, and job data at the time of occurrence of the failure.
