Introduction; Accessing Fault History - Xerox Phaser 7400 Service Manual

Introduction

This section describes error messages and numeric codes displayed on the Control
Panel, listed on the Status page, or logged in the Service Usage Profile. These error
indications serve as the entry point into the troubleshooting process. Along with the
error message itself, help text including the associated code is available by pressing
the Help (?) button. Printer problems not directly indicated by, or associated with an
error message or code are covered in Section 4, "General Troubleshooting." Print-
quality problems are covered in Section 5, "Print-Quality Troubleshooting."
The printer tracks and reports errors in a number of ways. The three types of error
reporting discussed in this Section include:
Error messages and help text displayed on the Control Panel.
Fault Descriptions and Codes listed on the Status page.
Engine (fatal) and Jam Error logs displayed on the Control Panel or listed in the
Service Usage Profile.
Messages indicating the occurrence of either a fatal or jam error appear on the Control
Panel and include their related code within the help text. Warning messages also
appear, but do not have a corresponding code.
