Status and Error Messages
Status, error, and caution messages notify you of the printer
status and alert you to problems. Some messages tell you
how to correct the problem. This section contains an
alphabetical list of these messages.
If the red Continue light flashes when an error is detected,
correct the problem and then press the Continue button to
clear the error. If the AUTO CONT option in SelecType is
ON, some errors clear automatically even though the
problem remains. In most instances, you should leave AUTO
CONT set to OFF.
CHECK PAPER SIZE
The paper size specified from the software is different than
the paper size specified by the STD SIZE and OPT SIZE
settings. Check to see if the correct paper size is loaded in the
standard tray or optional lower cassette. You may need to
change the STD SIZE and OPT SIZE settings to match the
paper size.
EPROM ERROR
The printer found illegal data in the EEPROM memory. Press
the Continue button to continue. You should also check that
any SelecType settings you changed from the factory defaults
are still in effect.
FEED JAM
Paper is not feeding into the printer from the specified tray
or cassette or has jammed on its way into the printer.
Remove thejammed paper and press the Continue button.
ILLEGALCART
The printer cannot read the font cartridge inserted. To correct
this error, turn off the printer. Then remove the cartridge and
reinsert it.
IMAGE OPTlMUM
There is insufficient memory to print the page using the
specified print quality. The printer automatically reduces the
print quality so it can continue printing. If the printout is not
acceptable, try simplifying the page by reducing the number
of fonts or font sizes or by switching the resolution to 300
dpi. You may also need to increase the amount ofprinter
memory.
INSERT CART
You may have removed an optional font cartridge while the
Form Feed light was on (indicating print data was received
but not yet printed). To correct the error, reinsert the font
cartridge and press the Continue button.
MANUAL- @age size)
Manual feed is specified for the current job. Make sure the
specified paper size is loaded in the standard paper tray and
press the On Line button.
MEM OVERFLOW
The printer has insufficient memory available for the current
task. To correct the error, press the Continue button. If the
message remains, reset the printer. You can also clear this
message by turning the printer off and back on again.
If you continually receive this message when printing a
particular page, try simplifying the page by reducing the
number and size of fonts or by using 300-dpi resolution. You
can also add more memory to the printer.

and clear the jammed paper.

specified as the paper source. Turn the printer off, wait ten
seconds, and turn the printer back on.
Check the Printers dialog box in your software to be sure that
the standard tray is selected.
PRINT OVERRUN
The required time to process the print data exceeds the print
engine speed because the current page is too complex. Press
