LPS problems

Fault masking and the printer control console

XEROX 4635 LASER PRINTING SYSTEM OPERATOR GUIDE
12.
This chapter contains instructions for diagnosing and solving
common problems that may arise when operating the LPS. Also
included are instructions for placing a service call, when needed.
The following sections deal with LPS problems.
The 4635 LPS allows you to continue printing while certain faults
or conditions exist in areas of the printer not currently being
used. The LPS does this by "masking" the fault or condition and
continuing to print the current job. For example, if you are
printing a report using feeder tray 1 and stacking into stacker bin
A, the LPS continues printing even if a jam exists in feeder tray 2
or if stacker bin B is full. Whenever there is a masked fault or
condition, the Hint icon (a light yellow circle with an asterisk
inside) appears on the printer control console and the Attention
light goes on. If a condition is being masked, such as low dry
ink, a message also appears in line 3 of the message area of the
printer control console. The message is preceded by an asterisk.
In the case of either a masked fault or condition, the Hint icon
appears on the PC UI and a message appears in the Messages
window. To display the area containing the masked fault (for
example, the location of the paper jam), touch the Fault List icon
on the printer control console.
The Fault List screen appears. (Refer to figure 12-1.)
