Troubleshooting Using the ERROR LED

shows problems and solutions to repair the printer.  Numbers in the "Solutions" column indicate 
the order to use to check the problem.  If you cannot determine the cause of the problem after 
checking all the solutions listed, go back to Table 1-1, earlier in this chapter.

Note:
With the memory switch, the “roll paper cover open” error can be specified either as an “automatically 
recoverable error” or as a “recoverable error.”
