This message indicates that the printer has received an unprintable
graphic. This message only appears if the Set Graphic Error Action
Command has been set properly.

internal inconsistency.
Press the Clear key. If it faults repeatedly, call your Customer Service
Representative and skip to the next print job.
One of the hammer drive circuits was turned on when it shouldn’t
have been, so all printing has been disabled. The usual cause is a
failed drive transistor.
Call your Customer Service Representative for repair.
A high resistance coil fault has likely occurred in one or more of the
hammer coils. Note: this fault message will have been preceded by
printing slow-down attempts associated with On-The-Fly thermal
monitoring of hammer bank temperature.
Check the hammer bank for defective coils. Confirm that the hammer
driver board is functioning properly. Replace the hammer driver
board. Call your Customer Service Representative for repair.
