However, in most circumstances there will be some obvious indication as to the nature of the fault, the
best example being the fault messages displayed in the screen status line.
The “ Warning and Fault Messages” section lists all of the warning and fault messages. This section also
gives a detailed explanation of the condition that the printer control logic has detected which has resulted
in the particular message being displayed. If there is no fault message, or if the message on its own is not
enough to identify the problem, refer toothed following list of symptoms to identify the possible cause of
the fault.
The list is organized to group the symptoms into the five different stages of printer operation:
1. Before switching on.
2. After switching on.
3. When the jet is started.
4. During printing.
5. After the jet is stopped.
Note:
that these groupings only indicate the earliest point at which the symptom could be observed; the
symptom could also be observed later in the cycle of printer operation. For example, solvent
contamination might be observed at any time, but it is included in the first group because it is
possible to check this symptom before switching on.
The text below each symptom describes the different types of fault that can give rise to the symptom, with
references to fault code numbers by which the faults are identified in the “Problem Solving” subsection,
where the problem and its method of rectification is described in more detail.
