The Printer Controller Disk Error Log is used to determine whether a disk

Refer to the "SYSTEM PARAMETER AND DATA LIST" section for the
printing procedure.

  2. Check the PRINTER DISK ERROR log section on the last page of the

printed System Parameter Report as shown in PRINTER DISK ERROR
below.

  3. After printing this list, leave copy mode by touching the "SP Mode" button

on the display.

  4. Touch the "Quit"  button to leave SP mode.
