OUTLINE OF ERROR CODES

An error code is used to indicate a fault in a machine, and is indicated in the machine's LCD or
reports, showing the nature (symptoms) of the fault. Using the error code, the user or the service
man can readily find out how to correct the fault by simply referring to the User's Manual or this
manual.
An error code may be either of the following two types:
User Error Codes
A fault indicated as a user error code is one that can easily be corrected by the user, as by
operating the machine. It takes the form of "#+number." The User's Manual also provides lists
of user error codes with instructions to correct the faults they indicate.
Service Error Codes
If a fault calls for a service man for correction, it is indicated as a service man error code in the
form of "##+number." The Service Manual offers lists of service error codes, and those error
codes requiring work unique to the model in question are provided with specific instructions
for correction.
The signals discussed in this manual are explained in the Appendix if they relate to communica-
tion procedures; for others, see related manual such as the Facsimile Basic 2000.
A service error code expressed in the form of "##+number" will not appear on
the LCD, Error Tx Report, or Activity Report while the machine remains in
factory default state. To check a service error code, shift bit 0 of service soft
