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 information in the following table to determine an appropriate action for each type of message.

You can learn more detailed information regarding the problem by checking the associated seven-digit error code that is stored in the printerÕs Service Support/Fault History front panel menu. Refer to the Phaser 380 printerÕs web page for more information:

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