10.4.1.5. After the jet is stopped.
Note: that these groupings only indicate the earliest point at which the symptom could be observed;
the symptom could also be observed later in the cycle of printer operation. For example,
solvent contamination might be observed at any time, but it is included in the first group
because it is possible to check this symptom before switching on.
The next below each symptom describes the different types that can give rise to the symptom, with
references to fault code numbers by which the faults are identified in the “Problem Solving”
subsection, where the problem and its method of rectification is described in more detail.
