6.3 LED Error Code Definitions Table
Certain ERROR codes are reported when they occur by a sequence of blinks of LEDs 3 and 4 located on the
controller board. The ERROR BLINK patterns are listed below. This table is also printed during a self test.
LED 3 blinks ON four times indicated in the table below as T1, T2, T3, and T4. Following each sequence of blinks
there is a pause before repeating the sequence. The ON times of LED 3 is the time base used for encoding the
error reporting by LED 4. LED 4 blinks ON during some of the four times that LED 3 blinks ON. The pattern of ON
times of LED 4 listed in the table below indicates the ERROR being reported. The
printer‟s audio beeper will also
sound a long tone at the same time LED 4 is ON.
