MESSAGE Explanation and Corrective Action
Paper Out
Explanation:
Paper is not being detected in the lower paper path below the print
mechanism.
Corrective Action:
If this message is correct, refer to the ENTER Key Section of
Chapter 2 of the Operator/Application Manual, then load paper. (See
Loading Paper Section of Chapter 1 of the Operator/Application
Manual.)
If this message is in error, check the sensor connection on the Engine
Controller CBA and sensor position on its mounting bracket. If the
connection is OK and the sensor is properly installed, then recalibrate
the Paper Out Sensor. (See TEST Menu in Chapter 2 for the proce-
dure.) If the problem still exists, the Lower Tractor Set (includes
Paper Motion Sensor) needs to be replaced.
If all of the above checks and fixes do not clear the problem, remove
and replace the Engine Controller CBA.
Parity Error Explanation: Parity is enabled and a mismatch on Bit 8 has been detected on the
currently active host interface.
Corrective Action: If there is a mismatch between the setting of the printer and the
setting of the host, you can change printer parity by referring to the
Configuration Menu section of Chapter 2 of the Operator's Manual.
If there is no mismatch between the printer and host settings, then the
data sent from the host has been corrupted. Retransmit the data from
the host. If the condition repeats, set up the printer for Dump Mode
(see Configuration Menu Section in Chapter 2 of the Operator's
Manual) and retransmit the data again. If you find no errors in the
Dump Mode data, remove and replace the Personality Module CBA.
If this still does not correct the problem, the likely cause is in the I/O
cable or the host.
Platen Open
Explanation:
The Form Thickness Lever is set beyond the maximum setting
for paper thickness. This message may display when you are loading
paper or a Ribbon Cartridge into the printer. This condition disables
the printer and the only keys that will function on the control panel are
the form movement keys.
Corrective Action:
When you are loading paper or a Ribbon Cartridge, this message will
clear when you lower the Form Thickness Lever and close the Platen
Gap. If this message appears at any other time or will not clear, check
the sensor connection on the Engine Controller CBA and perform a
meter test on the sensor. (See TEST Menu in Chapter 2 for the
procedure.) The sensor should read less than .2 volts with the Form
Thickness Lever closed and greater than 4 volts with the form Thick-
ness Lever fully opened. If the readings do not differ, download new
printer firmware.
