System Status And Error Messages
When an error occurs, the printer displays an appropriate message
on the control panel LCD. Some errors are operator-correctable,
some require field service, and others require reprinting.
Operator-correctable errors include paper jams and missing
consumables. After correcting the error condition, press CLEAR to
remove the message from the display, and place the printer offline.
If any data resides in the print buffer, it is then printed. Press
ONLINE to place the printer online.
Errors requiring field service are printer failures that require the
attention of service personnel. Before calling your service
representative, press CLEAR to attempt to remove the message
from the display. If the message disappears, the original message
may have been a false error indication. If the message reappears,
call for service.
Errors requiring reprinting are those errors which require reprinting
to recover from an error condition. These are discussed in detail in
the following topics.
Reprinting Pages After A Fault Condition
The printer handles errors in two ways depending on your
configuration of the Reprint on Fault option in the Paper Control
menu.
If Reprint On Fault Is Enabled (The Default):
•
Any pages left in the printer at the time of failure are reprinted.
No data is lost.
•
Fanfold paper: The printer reprints all pages that have not
completely exited the printer at the time of failure. The exact
number of pages that are reprinted is determined by the length
of the page and where within the page the fault occurred.
