Troubleshooting Data Error Messages

When the Error (back) light and Data (middle) light are simultaneously lit the printer has experienced a data error. To determine the cause of the data error, simultaneously press and hold [Go] and [Job[Cancel]. A secondary light pattern (using top panel and front panel lights) will indicate the specific error. Find the secondary light pattern that matches the printer and follow the recommendations to clear the error.

Secondary Light Patterns

Memory Overflow

The printer memory is full.

Press [Go] to resume printing. If you lose some data try to free some printer memory by removing any unnecessary fonts, macros, or any data currently in printer memory. If you continue to lose data you may need to add more printer memory. For a temporary solution simplify the image or print at a 300 dpi resolution.

Print Overrun

The print job was too complex for available printer memory.

Press [Go] to resume printing. If you lose some data you may need to add more printer memory. For a temporary solution simplify the image or print at a 300 dpi resolution.
