Operator Intervention (Not Ready Status)

When normal operation is interrupted, the printer goes into a Not Ready status.

SELECTING

the Stop pushbutton on the Display Touch Screen window can cause

a Not Ready status.

In addition, whenever the printer detects an Out of Supplies, Intervention

Required, or Printer Error condition, it places itself in Not Ready status. An error

message also appears on the Display Touch Screen.
v

Out of Supplies

messages indicate that the printer needs basic supplies service.

For some supplies, you can temporarily bypass this message and continue

processing; other supplies require you to replace them immediately.

v

Intervention Required

messages indicate that the printer needs basic service

that involves handling forms or checking on mechanical conditions, such as an

open gate. You must handle all messages of this type before printing can

continue.

v

Printer Error

messages indicate that the printer or the control unit has a

hardware problem, such as a forms jam or a component failure. Processing stops

so that you can attempt to correct the problem, or, if necessary, call for service.

You can postpone action for some messages of this type; others you must handle

immediately. Some printed pages may be lost or damaged because of printer

errors.

See “Chapter 10. Responding to Messages” on page 271 for more information about

handling messages. See “Chapter 7. Ordering and Replacing Supplies” on page 175

and “Chapter 6. Operator Responsibilities” on page 55 for more information about

specific recovery procedures.
