Warning and Fault Messages

This warning is only likely to occur for fast rasters (e.g. rasters smaller than 16 drops for
Micro printheads), where pixel generation by the software is slower than the rate at which
the hardware can print rasters.

3.16 Memory Failure

Possible cause

- The battery backup has failed (exhausted battery). Recharge the battery by switching the printer

on for 24 hours. Otherwise, contact your local EC-JET distributor.

3.17 Memory Corrupt

The system will still function but some values may have been reset to their defaults.

Possible cause

- The battery backup has failed (exhausted battery). Recharge the battery by switching the printer

on for 24 hours. Otherwise, contact your local EC-JET distributor.

3.18 No Message Stored In Memory

This warning is reported if there is no message stored in memory. Printing cannot be started if there
is no message stored.

Possible causes

- The user has cleared the message memory by selecting [F3] (New Message) and has then failed

to enter a new message.

- The battery backup has failed:

Contact your local EC-JET distributor.
