■ Faults and Warnings
Faults
A fault will prevent the SmartDate X40 from printing and enable the fault output.
Once a fault is activated, printing will not restart until all faults are cleared
The fault output is closed circuit during normal operation meaning it indicates ‘fault’ when
there is no power.
