Main motor failure detection
The CPU determines the main motor failure, stops the printer, and notifies the formatter of error
status, when it encounters the following conditions.
■ Main motor start-up abnormality
The interval of the MAIN MOTOR SPEED DETECTION signal (/MAINMFG) does not become
the specified interval after 1000 ms of the main motor drive start.
■ Main motor rotation abnormality
The interval of the /MAINMFG signal stays at an irregular interval for 100 ms and longer after
once it has become the specified interval.
Fan motor failure detection
The CPU determines the fan motor failure and notifies the formatter when it encounters the following
condition.
The FAN LOCK signal (FANLCK) is “H” for approximately 10 seconds and longer during fan motor
rotation.
