Messages

When an error occurs, the printer displays an appropriate message on the control panel LCD. Some errors are operator-correctable, some require field service, and others require the print job be run again.

Operator-correctable errors include paper jams, missing consumables, and power paper stacker problems. After correcting the error condition, press CLEAR to remove the message from the display and place the printer offline. If any data resides in the print buffer, it will then be printed. Press ONLINE to place the printer online.

The “stacker” errors can usually be cleared by pressing CLEAR. In some cases, you may need to lower and then raise the stacker tray, then press CLEAR to correct the error.

Errors requiring field service are printer failures that require the attention of service personnel. Before calling your service representative, press CLEAR to attempt to remove the message from the display. If the message disappears, the original message may have been a false error indication. If the message reappears, call for service.

Errors requiring reprinting are those errors which require reprinting to recover from an error condition. These are discussed in detail in the following topics.

IMPORTANT The stacker is reset automatically whenever you clear a paper fault (paper jam or fanfold paper empty) error.
