Operator Intervention (Not Ready Status)
When normal operation is interrupted, the printer goes into a Not Ready status. SELECTING the Stop pushbutton on the Display Touch Screen window can cause a Not Ready status.
In addition, whenever the printer detects an Out of Supplies, Intervention Required, or Printer Error condition, it places itself in Not Ready status. An error message also appears on the Display Touch Screen.
vOut of Supplies messages indicate that the printer needs basic supplies service. For some supplies, you can temporarily bypass this message and continue processing; other supplies require you to replace them immediately.
vIntervention Required messages indicate that the printer needs basic service that involves handling forms or checking on mechanical conditions, such as an open gate. You must handle all messages of this type before printing can continue.
vPrinter Error messages indicate that the printer or the control unit has a hardware problem, such as a forms jam or a component failure. Processing stops so that you can attempt to correct the problem, or, if necessary, call for service. You can postpone action for some messages of this type; others you must handle immediately. Some printed pages may be lost or damaged because of printer errors.
