Troubleshooting 6

Front panel messages

The front panel displays messages indicating the condition of the printer. Some messages, such as Standby and Warming Up, simply provide status information. These messages do not require user action. Error messages, such as Jam:Open Front Cover, require you to perform some action such as remove a paper jam. Use the following table to determine the appropriate action for each type of front panel message.

The printer may display a numeric error code when it detects certain types of problems. If you see a numeric error code, first write down the number. Try turning off the printer’s power and wait at least 15 seconds before turning the power on again. If that does not solve the problem, call your local Tektronix office for assistance in the U.S. and Canada at 1-800-835-6100.
