Watchdog Function Post-Processing

The following processing is performed if a faulty condition is detected in the CPU.
When the copier CPU is found faulty:
• All CPUs including those of the options are reset and the system is restarted. If the CPU
is found faulty during a copy cycle, the system attempts to feed all sheets of paper out of
the copier before resetting. (If paper is left inside the copier, the copier detects it as a
misfeed as it is restarted.)
When an option CPU is found faulty:
• The option relays are turned OFF and ON and all options are then restarted. If the CPU
is found faulty during a copy cycle, the copier stops the paper take-up sequence and
feeds all sheets of paper out of the copier before resetting.
The Watchdog Counter available from the Tech. Rep. mode allows the Technical Represen-
tative to check if any faulty condition has occurred in the CPU. For details, see SWITCHES
ON PWBs.
