6.1 Fault and Warning Messages
All printer functions are internally monitored. If a problem (Fault) or a potential
problem (Warning) is detected, the Error Indicator (see Section 4.0.4) will be
illuminated. A corresponding message will be displayed (if not within a branch
of the menu system or in Quick Test Mode). These messages, along with
possible solutions, are described below.
Fault Messages:
Fault Messages receive the highest display priority. If more than one fault is
detected the display will cycle between messages.
ã Note: To return to normal operation after the printer enters a fault condition,
the fault must be corrected and then the FEED key must be pressed to
clear the condition.
