Understanding POST Error Messages

This section tells you how to understand and respond to the power-on self-test (POST) error messages.

Function of POST Error Messages

The printer fuser takes approximately 5 minutes to warm up if it is cold when you turn the printer on. While the printer is warming up, it runs a power-on self-test (POST). The POST checks to see if the printer is working correctly.

As the POST runs, you see status messages on the display panel. You do not have to read these messages unless the POST stops before the test is finished. Normally, the POST finishes without problems and you see the READY message on the display panel.

If the POST does stop before it is finished, the Attention light on the display panel flashes. Check the display panel for a message, an error code, or a blank display. See the following table to find out what to do.

Table of POST Error Messages

This table lists the error messages that can occur when a POST fails and what you should do for each message. When you are instructed to call for service, call 1-800-358-6661.See “Requesting Service” on page xiii for further information.
