equipped with a self diagnostic mechanism that checks the condition of the machine;
when the mechanism detects an error, it indicates an error code on the copy count
display.

condition by flashing the Jam indicator.)
‘E6’ is represented by alternating

the Jam indicator (PC400/FC200) remains ON for about 0.5 sec.; thereafter, the
power goes out.
