5.5 CAPTURING LOG TO SD CARD
5.5.1 OVERVIEW

This function is not available on models without a hard disk.
With this feature, you can save debug logs that are stored in the machine (HDD or operation
panel) on an SD card. It allows the Customer Engineer to save and retrieve error information for
analysis.
The Capturing Log feature saves debug logs for the following three.

Controller debug log

Engine debug log

Debug log of the operation panel

In older models, a technician enabled the logging tool after a problem occurred. After that,
when the problem had been reproduced, the technician was able to retrieve the debug
log.

However, this new feature saves the debug logs at the time that problems occur. Then
you can copy the logs to an SD card.

You can retrieve the debug logs using an SD card without a network.

Analysis of the debug log is effective for problems caused by the software. Analysis of the
debug log is not valid for the selection of defective parts or problems caused by
hardware.
