Appendix A: Troubleshooting

A–73

This message indicates that the printer has received an unprintable

graphic. This message only appears if the Set Graphic Error Action

Command has been set properly.

Clear the message (Clear key), then place the printer back Online.

Confirm with host why Graphic check message was sent.

The software controlling the print hammer timing has detected an

internal inconsistency.

Press the Clear key. If it faults repeatedly, call your Customer Service

Representative and skip to the next print job.

One of the hammer drive circuits was turned on when it shouldn’t

have been, so all printing has been disabled. The usual cause is a

failed drive transistor.

Call your Customer Service Representative for repair.

A high resistance coil fault has likely occurred in one or more of the

hammer coils. Note: this fault message will have been preceded by

printing slow-down attempts associated with On-The-Fly thermal

monitoring of hammer bank temperature.

Check the hammer bank for defective coils. Confirm that the hammer

driver board is functioning properly. Replace the hammer driver

board. Call your Customer Service Representative for repair.

Graphics memory space is full and the printer cannot accept or

process data. Printer will reset and data will be lost.

Insert line terminators in data stream so the printer will process the

data, then retransmit the data.

Key has no function for this printer model or mode of operation.

No corrective action.

Certain communication signals have been lost between the printer

and the host computer.

Check cable connection, setup of host, and printer address setting.

The host is not communicating with the printer.

Verify address of computer and host setup. Check I/O cables.

When this message is displayed during printer installation, you may

continue to test the printer by placing the printer Offline and entering

Menu mode to select print tests or calibration routines.

A VFU command was received from the host before a VFU was

downloaded.

Download the required VFU information, then retransmit the data.

The nonvolatile data checksum has failed because of one of the

following conditions:

(1) A new RAM has been installed.

(2) New software with different nonvolatile variables has been

installed.
