Test Menu ⇒ Fault Override

Fault Override Category

This category deals with the configura- tion of fault information from the Engine Manager and the Control Processor. If the option is set to On, then the fault is overridden and won't be reported on the panel. If the option

is set to Off, then the override is disabled and the fault is reported if it occurs. Use the Arrow and Enter keys to select Menu => Test Menu => Fault Override to get here.

Paper Motion

This parameter controls paper motion fault reporting status. This setting is saved in NVRAM so that it does not need to be set up on powerup each time.

Automatic Paper Motion Fault Retry is a feature that has been implemented to eliminate intermittent false paper motion faults. When a paper motion fault is detected while printing is in progress, the paper is reversed approximately 3 inches, then moved forward again. If the paper motion fault persists, the printer is placed offline and the fault is reported. This feature can eliminate false paper motion faults caused by random electrical noise or paper chads/ dust that can be removed by the paper reversal.

Diag Category

This is a diagnostics and calibration category. Use the Arrow and Enter keys to select Menu => Test Menu => Diag to get here.

Cal-Paper (Calibrate Paper Out)

This parameter allows users to calibrate the paper-out detection sensor if the factory default settings fail to detect when the paper really is out, or when false paper-out faults occur. Pressing Enter will initiate a series of messages instruct- ing the operator to calibrate the detection sensor:

•Remove the paper from the printer, close the tractor door, and press Enter. A numeric value will be displayed briefly. A new message appears instructing the user to load the printer with paper.

•Press Enter. A new numeric value is displayed briefly, ending the calibra- tion sequence.
