3. Error codes (the latest 10 error codes at the maximum) are printed in the "operator call/service call error record" area in EEPROM information print

Buttons valid when an operator call error occurs:

1. ON button: To turn the machine off and on again.

2. OK button: To clear and recover from an error. In some operator call errors, the error will automatically be cleared when the cause of the error is eliminated, and pressing the OK button may not be necessary.

3. Stop button: To cancel the job at error occurrence, and to clear the error.

Service call errors are indicated by the number of cycles the Alarm and Power LEDs blink, and the corresponding error code with the message, "Printer error has occurred. Turn off power then back on again. If problem persists, see the manual." is displayed on the LCD.

1) Check each point in "Check points & Solution," and perform the solution if it applies.

2) When no solution in "Check points & Solution" is effective, then replace the part listed under "Parts to be replaced" one by one from the one most likely to be faulty. The parts are listed in the order of likeliness to be faulty.
