6.1Fault and Warning Messages

All printer functions are internally monitored. If a problem (Fault) or a potential problem (Warning) is detected, the Error Indicator (see Section 4.0.4) will be illuminated. A corresponding message will be displayed (if not within a branch of the menu system or in Quick Test Mode). These messages, along with possible solutions, are described below.

Fault Messages:

Fault Messages receive the highest display priority. If more than one fault is detected the display will cycle between messages.

;Note: To return to normal operation after the printer enters a fault condition, the fault must be corrected and then the FEED Key must be pressed to clear the condition.
