Guide To Error Mesages; Operator-Correctable Error Messages - Printronix L1024 Maintenance Manual

Guide to Error Mesages

Error messages indicate errors that the printer has detected during the power-on self-test or during
normal operation. This section provides common printer status and error messages, along with the
corrective actions required to return the printer to normal operation.
The messages are generated by the Data Controller Board (and its software), then displayed on the
printer's Control Panel LCD.
NOTE:

Operator-correctable Error Messages

A nonfatal error is any error that requires only operator attention to correct. The errors listed in the table
