Service Log
Introduction
The device operating software is designed to detect and report any improper operation or device malfunction by using a system of
error codes. When an internal program or process fails to execute properly, a specific four-digit hexadecimal error code is written
into the device Service Log (for example, 500e), and the front panel
illuminates. The illuminated Service LED
is your signal to examine the Service Log and process any reported errors (see
Processing Service Log Codes (p. 115)
).
Errors rarely occur and should be investigated thoroughly by a qualified service technician before the device is placed back into
active use. Always complete the Performance Inspection Procedures after encountering and clearing any error code(s).
Error codes stored in the Service Log may not necessarily indicate a permanent error. Error codes can indicate transient
electromagnetic interference (EMI) or electrostatic discharge (ESD). If you suspect transient EMI or ESD as the source of an error,
clear the error code(s) as described in
Clearing the Service Log (p. 114)
, and then shut down and restart the device. If the error
code does not recur, it may have been the result of EMI or ESD.
