Controller Self-Diagnosis Outline - Ricoh MET-C1 Field Service Manual

Controller self-diagnosis outline

Controller self-diagnosis includes 3 types, i.e., "ordinary self-diagnosis", "detailed self-diagnosis", and
"SC detection". "Ordinary self-diagnosis" is diagnosis performed for every power ON, and "detailed
self-diagnosis" is diagnosis treated as part of the service tools. "SC detection" detects mechanical faults
when power is switched on or when the machine is operating.
