SOLVING PROBLEMS

STATUS AND ERROR MESSAGES

While the printer is being used, messages on the display panel indicate the status of the machine and alert the user to any errors that may occur. This section gives an al - phabetical list of these messages, and explains how to clear any associated problems.

Note

 

 

 

 

 

If you see the

 

indicator flashing, first correct the problem, then press the

key

 

 

to clear the error. (However, if the AUTO CONT. option is set to ON (see page

41),

some errors clear automatically, even though the problem remains. Therefore, in

most cases, it is best to leave AUTO CONT. off to avoid the possibility of

 

damaging your printer.)

 

 

 

 

 

The error messages are described below.

 

ADD MEMORY FOR CH-x

 

There is not enough memory for channel x. Either:

 

Decrease the RX-BUFFER SIZE setting (see page 37).

Change the CH setting to AUTOSENSE (see page 38).

Adjust the memory distribution in the INDIVIDUAL setting of the CH function (see page 38).

Add printer memory (see page 10).

CHANGE PCU

Reset the PCU counter (see page 43). Do not change the master unit.

COVER OPEN PCU xxxxxx

The printer cover is open, or the toner cartridge or master unit is not installed. Close the cover or install the missing component. See the fax machine’s Operator’s Manual for how to install a toner cartridge.
