fails (except the knife home test), the remaining tests will generate recoverable faults and normal
operation will start as soon as the fault is cleared. These tests are also run when operation is
resumed from OFF.

The first phase of testing consists of step 1-5, and determines that the boot loader is
accurate and the printer firmware is correct. Tests 1 through 4 produce non-recoverable
errors if they fail, in which case the power must be removed from the printer and the
printer returned for service. If the boot loader is intact, but the main firmware is
corrupted, the printer automatically enters boot loader mode, where the firmware can
then be reloaded into the printer.
Boot Loader Maintenance Mode
Maintenance mode supports firmware updates and other maintenance and configuration
operations.
Maintenance mode may be entered by a series of host commands or it may be entered
manually.
To manually enter the maintenance, hold the paper sensor down while the paper cover
is open and turn the power switch on. Level 0 diagnostics will be run and the power
indicator will display a very slow double blink pattern. If the error Indicator comes on,
some type of level 0 error was detected. In maintenance mode, the firmware may be
loaded or reconfigured and fonts added or changed. For a complete list of operations
available refer to the maintenance mode programmers guide.
The printer does not need to be functional for maintenance mode to
function.
Configuring Your EPIC 3000 Printer

remote CONFIG program as a fast, easy way for system integrators to configure or
reconfigure your EPIC 3000 printer. To obtain more information, or the latest version of
the CONFIG program, call our Sales Department or Technical Support.
