Fault Messages Requiring Field Service Attention
If a fault is not correctable by the operator, the fault message is followed by an
asterisk (*). This usually indicates that an authorized service representative is
needed. You may try two steps to clear the fault before calling your authorized
service representative:
1. Set the printer power switch to O (Off), wait 15 seconds, then turn the
printer on again. Run your print job again. If the message does not
appear, it was a false indication and no further attention is required.
2. If the message reappears, press the CANCEL key. If the message
disappears, it was a false indication and no further attention is required. If
the message reappears, call your authorized service representative.
