Fault Messages - IBM 6400 Setup Manual

Fault Messages

If a fault condition occurs in the printer, the Attention indicator on the
operator panel lights, and the first line of the operator panel message display
indicates the fault. The second line of the display indicates how to clear the
fault.
Table 6–1 explains each fault message and describes how to correct the fault
condition. Displayed faults fall into one of two categories:
Operator correctable.
IBM service representative required to correct.
Fault Correction Procedure
Before correcting a fault, read the fault explanation, then proceed to fix the
problem, taking the following steps:
1. Press any key except Form Feed or Stop to silence the alarm if
necessary.
2. Write down the number of the error message(s) being displayed.
3. Read the fault explanation, then proceed to fix the problem, if possible.
4. Press Stop to clear the fault message. Press Start to return to Ready
mode, and resume printing.
5. If the fault message reappears, power off the printer, wait 15 seconds,
then power on the printer.
6. Run your print job again. If the fault message reappears, turn off power
to the printer, then call your IBM service representative. Otherwise, no
further attention is required.
