Operation 2-20
Fault Condition Messages
If a fault condition occurs in the printer, the CHECK light illuminates, the status lamps blink
alternately, and the first line of the message display reads FAULT CONDITION. If confiĆ
gured, an alarm will sound when the Fault Condition occurs. The second line of the display will
show the specific fault. (If the specific fault description requires two lines, the message FAULT
CONDITION will not be shown.) Displayed faults fall into one of two categories:
D Operator correctable faults
D Field service required
NOTE: The alarm can be turned off before the fault is cleared by pressing the CLEAR
switch.
Operator Correctable Faults
Printer problems that the operator can correct are self-explanatory and appear on the second
line of the display:
PAPER OUT SHUTTLE STALL
PLATEN OPEN COVER OPEN
PAPER JAM COOLING
CHANGE RIBBON
After correcting an operator correctable fault, press the CLEAR switch before placing the
printer on line. If any other fault messages appear without an asterisk (*), press the CLEAR
switch to continue. However, if this problem persists, contact your authorized service represenĆ
tative to correct the problem permanently.
- IMPORTANT -
If NVM INITIALIZED PRESS CLEAR appears on the display every time the
printer power is cycled, non-volatile memory must be replaced. Non-volatile
memory can be temporarily bypassed by pressing the CLEAR switch. However, no
configuration data may be saved, and the factory default is loaded. Contact your
authorized service representative to correct the fault permanently.
