Speed value is above 6 IPS
as the power-up default with
the validator option installed,
or the user attempted to
increase Print Speed or Slew
Speed above 6 IPS.
Yes Normal power-up message.
Printer is running its
initialization routine.
Yes Data validation error:
missing barcode.
Yes Status message: in CT
emulation, the host computer
or printer controller requires
attention.
Yes Status message: in CT
emulation, the printer was
offline more than 10 minutes
and the "Intervention
Required" parameter is set to
"Send to Host."
Yes/No Communication Check: a

line is not active on a twinax
interface.
Yes Invalid Address: poll time-out
on the twinax interface
indicating the unit address is
not recognized by printer.

Solution
Change the Print Speed or Slew Speed
value in the MEDIA CONTROL menu
to 6 IPS or less when using the
validator option, and save the new
value as the power-up default.
1. No action required.
2. If the printer does not complete
initialization and continues
displaying this message when the
CT emulation is installed, the
expansion CT board may not be
connected to the controller PCBA.
Check the paper and ribbon for
cleanliness, wrinkles, etc., or an
obstructed validator beam. If there is
no validator beam at all, or if the LED is
not flashing as barcodes pass through
the validator beam, recycle validator
power. If the problem persists, contact
your service representative.
Not a printer problem.
Press PAUSE to put the printer online.
1. Check your network for proper
operation.
2. Try a different cable from a known
good device.
3. If the problem persists, contact your
authorized customer service
representative.
Have the system administrator make
sure the printer address is correct.
Check the cable connection and host
system. (Refer to the line problem
determination procedures, as
recommended by the host system.)
