Error Messages and Codes 3-7
System Startup and POST
System Boot Sequence
1. When the main power switch is turned on, the ‘health’ LED on the image
processor board turns on immediately.
2. The boot loader checks for RAM present and functional. If not, it posts a very
large “RAM ERROR” on the front panel and blinks the LED 1/2 second on/off
continuously.
3. The boot Loader then runs POST diagnostics.
4. POST turns off the health LED.
5. POST checks the front panel.
6. If buttons have been pushed, the front panel displays “Processing Input”.
7. The front panel LED cycles: Green, Yellow, Red, and then off.
8. The front panel turns on, the LED turns Green, and the POST tests are run.
Power On Self Test (POST)
The following tests are performed when the printer is powered on, after the boot
loader runs, and before the operating system is loaded and initialized.
POST diagnostics are intended to provide a quick means of isolating a defective
subsystem associated with the image processor board and SDRAM. POST returns
control to the boot loader and the operating system is loaded. The operating system
then loads the imaging processing software. If POST detected any soft errors, a
message is printed in a red box on the start page. If POST detects any hard errors,
both the front panel and ‘health’ LED blink the error code pattern, see "POST Fault
Reporting LED Blink Patterns" on page 3-8.
