PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS

XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS OPERATOR GUIDE

12-27

Step 2.

If the printer does not respond and resume printing, either:

Enter the RESET command.

Select the Reset task from the Job Control menu of the PC UI.

(Refer to the “Reset” section of chapter 5, “Job control tasks.”)

Step 3.

Enter the PSC (printer subsystem controller) command. This should
put the printer back in communication with the system controller.

Note:

Ask your Xerox service representative to change this

command to a Logon Level 2 if not already done. Otherwise,
you will not be able to access it.

Step 4.

Retry the command to which the printer would not respond earlier. If
it still does not respond, tell your supervisor or a systems analyst.

Blank display (system controller terminal)

To prolong the life of the system controller display, the light is turned
off and the display becomes blank when it has not been used for 15
minutes. As soon as any key is pressed, the image returns exactly
as it was prior to turning itself off. There is no loss of information.

If there is no display when you press a key, check that the ON/OFF
switch on the right side of the display (just below the screen) is in the
ON position. Also check the brightness control (intensity adjustment
lever); slide it to the right to make the screen brighter. If the display
is turned on, the lever is all the way to the right, and the display
screen is still blank, place a service call

Rasterization messages

When a line of print is too complex for the system to process
normally, the output processor directs the image generator to
produce a bitmap image instead of aborting the page. This process
can take anywhere from 3 to 20 minutes. The following messages
appear in the Messages window of the PC UI or on the system
controller display:

OS1620 Local density problem has caused a printer cycle down
OS1625 Local density problem rasterization in progress.

Note:

Do not press any keys until the process is complete. Any

commands normally allowed during print mode (for example, FEED,
JOBS, PSTATUS, SELECT, and so on) entered while rasterization is
in progress are delayed until the rasterization process is finished.
When the process is complete, the following message appears:

OS1627 Local density problem rasterization is complete

The printer now cycles up and prints the problem page.
