The startup page prints although you disabled it

The printerÕs power-up self-test can detect problems that do not necessarily make the printer completely inoperable. Examples of these non-fatalerrors include faulty printer ports and some memory failures.

If the printer detects a non-fatal error at power-up, the startup page prints, even if you have disabled it. In this case, the page contains one or more of the error messages listed in the table ÒError messages on the startup page.Ó Depending on your needs, you may not need to call for service immediately.

Error messages on the startup page

The startup and conÞguration pages contain useful information for troubleshooting. For more information on the startup and conÞguration pages, refer to Appendix A, ÒTechnical Notes.Ó

Error messages on the startup page

Message

Description

 

 

Serial Port failed

The named port is not working. Other ports can still be used.

Parallel Port failed

 

LocalTalk Port failed

 

Ethernet Port failed

 

SCSI Port failed

 

 

 

DRAM SIMM x failed

One of the optional additional memory SIMMs is not working.

 

In this message, x indicates the number of the SIMM that

 

failed (2, 3 or 4). Since the printer’s base memory is still

 

working, the printer can still be used, but large image files

 

may not print, and throughput may suffer.
