Checking the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) as a stand-alone unit
Errors and beep codes during startup diagnostics
When you turn on the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) or reboot, the system performs
diagnostic tests that check the motherboard. While the diagnostic tests are running, the
name of each test is displayed on the Control Panel. If an error occurs during the startup
diagnostics, the red activity light on the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) Control Panel
turns on. At the end of the diagnostics, the red activity light remains on and the error
appears on the Control Panel.
Pressing and holding the fourth line selection button during the startup diagnostics
displays the
Service
menu. This screen allows you to reinstall system software if required,
recover a backup of the system, and install options (such as the Advanced Controller
Interface option).
If the system cannot display the startup diagnostic screen, the
Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) will indicate an error with beep codes and a flashing or
solid red activity light.

During startup, the diagnostics check the activity light to make sure it is
functional. The activity light on the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) Control Panel flashed
red briefly during this time even though no errors have occurred.
When you encounter any of these conditions, power off the
Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) and inspect the inside of the tray for an obviously loose
part or cable. Then check the other components as suggested in the following tables. For
all service, see “Accessing Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) internal components” on
page 4-3. When you are finished, see “Restoring Print Controller X4(AR-PE1)
functionality after service” on page 4-11.
Table 5-1 lists possible beep codes, the area on the motherboard reporting the error, and
how to correct the error. Table 5-2 lists the possible error messages that may be reported
to the Control Panel and the suggested corrective action.
