Fatal Error Messages

This section provides a description of error conditions that cause printing to stop.
These errors are provided for information only. The corrective action in all cases
is to first perform the reset function described in the Operator’s Guide. If the
printer reset does not solve the problem, cycle the printer power. If a reset or
power cycle does not solve the problem, call your authorized service
representative.
