Using the Show the Error Count Tool
Use the Show the Error Count tool to (a) troubleshoot the Printer, (b) maintain a log of up to
255 errors, (c) track how many times specific errors occur and (d) determine if certain errors
are occurring more than others (in order to pinpoint an area in the Printer requiring attention).
Step Procedure
1 a. Use the scroll buttons to move through the list of errors.

log. (Note: The error log will stop logging errors once it has reached its
error occurrence limit of 255.)
