Offline Data In

Explanation:

The printer is in Offline condition and nonprinted data is in the buffer.

 

Corrective Action:

There is no corrective action required. Under normal conditions, the

 

 

printer continues to print when it is placed back Online. If you do not

 

 

want the buffered data to print, enter the Clear menu by depressing the

 

 

Clear key before going back Online and select the Clear Buffers entry to

 

 

clear the buffered data.

Offline Dump On

Explanation:

The printer is in Offline condition and Dump Mode is enabled.

 

Corrective Action:

No corrective action is necessary. Place the printer back Online when

 

 

you are ready to print.

Explanation:

The printer is receiving downloaded fonts or VFU information.

 

Corrective Action:

This message will clear when the download is complete.

Online Dump On

Explanation:

The printer is ready to accept and print data from the host through

 

 

Dump Mode. All data received from the host will be printed in hexadeci-

 

 

mal format.

 

Corrective Action:

No corrective action is required.

Overflow VFU

Explanation:

An excessive number of bytes has been sent by the host in a VFU

 

 

download.

 

Corrective Action:

Correct data and retransmit from host.

Paper Motion Flt

Explanation:

The control processor has detected that the paper has failed to move the

 

 

required distance after sending a command to the Paper Drive Motor.

 

Corrective Action:

Check for paper feed problems. If there are any paper feed problems,

 

 

correct them, then press the Clear key to clear the fault. If there are no

 

 

paper feed problems and the condition does not clear, call your Cus-

 

 

tomer Service Representative.

Paper Out

Explanation:

Paper is not being detected by the Paper Out sensor.

 

Corrective Action:

If this message is correct, refer to the Paper Loading sections in Chapter

 

 

2, then load paper. If the fault does not clear, call your Customer Service

 

 

Representative for repair.

Parity Error

Explanation:

Parity is enabled and a mismatch on Bit 8, between the computer and

 

 

the printer, has been detected on the currently active host interface.

 

Corrective Action:

If there is a mismatch between the setting of the printer and the setting

 

 

of the host, you can change printer parity. See the Config Menu section

 

 

in Chapter 3.

 

 

If there is no mismatch between the printer and host settings, then the

 

 

data sent from the host has been corrupted. Retransmit the data from

 

 

the host. If the condition repeats, set up the printer for Dump Mode (see

 

 

the Config Menu section in Chapter 3), and retransmit the data again. If

 

 

you find no errors in the Dump Mode data, call your Customer Service

 

 

Representative for repair.

Print Fault

Explanation:

Faulty communication between the main and control processor has

 

 

occurred causing a dot row to misprint. The printer automatically

 

 

recovers from this condition.

 

Corrective Action:

Under normal circumstances there is no corrective action other than to

 

 

depress the Clear key to remove the fault message from the display. If,

 

 

however, this problem persists, call your Customer Service Representa-

 

 

tive for repair.

Replace Rbn

Explanation:

Caused when Rbn Monitor has reached its set level.
