TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you have difficulty operating the printer, the troubleshooting procedures in this section should, in
most cases, solve the problem. Turning the printer off and back on and rebooting the P.C. (cold
booting the system) may also clear the error. If you still have difficulty after trying the following
procedures, the Direct Jet printer often uses the lights on the Control Panel buttons to indicate
various error conditions. These lights will usually illuminate in conjunction with a physical condition
on the printer itself. Use these tables to help you identify and fix the error.
