Startup page prints even though it is disabled

The printer’s 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 following table. Depending on your needs, you may not need to call for service immediately.

Error messages on the startup page

Message	Description
Parallel Port failed	The named port is not working. The other ports can still
I/O Card failed	be used.
SCSI Port failed
DRAM SIMM x failed	One of the memory SIMMs is not working. In this message,
	x indicates the number of the SIMM that failed. Since the
	printer’s base memory is still working, the printer can still be
	used, but throughput may suffer.
Extended SIMM failed	The Extended Features SIMM is not working. The printer can
	be used, but no access to CheckPrint, Quick Collate, and
	Copystation; no access to the 22 extra fonts. The base
	17 fonts are still available, but requests for the optional fonts
	will be replaced with Courier.
