5–17 Routine Service and Diagnostics
Fault Messages
If a fault condition occurs in the printer, the status lamps on the control panel
flash on and off, and the first line of the control panel message display
indicates “Fault Condition.” The second line of the message display indicates
the specific fault. Fault messages are summarized in Table 5–1.
Faults fall into one of two categories:
•
Operator correctable.
•
Field service required—indicated by an asterisk [ * ] after the fault
message.
To clear correctable errors, refer to Table 5–1 and follow the instructions.
After clearing the error, press CLEAR to resume printing. The printer
assumes the error to be cleared.
If the error was not actually cleared, the printer will attempt to print again but
will then display another error message until the error is finally cleared.
IMPORTANT
After correcting a displayed fault, press the CLEAR key on the control
panel to continue printing. If the fault message reappears, contact your
authorized field service representative.
To clear errors displayed with an asterisk [ * ] on the control panel, call your
service representative. However, before calling for service, you should power
off the printer, wait at least 15 seconds, then power on the printer again. Run
your print job again. If the message does not appear, it was a false indication
and no further attention is required.
