STATUS AND ERROR MESSAGES
While the printer is being used, messages on the display panel indicate the status of
the machine and alert the user to any errors that may occur. This section gives an al -
phabetical list of these messages, and explains how to clear any associated problems.
Note
If you see the indicator flashing, first correct the problem, then press the key
to clear the error. (However, if the AUTO CONT. option is set to ON (see page 41),
some errors clear automatically, even though the problem remains. Therefore, in
most cases, it is best to leave AUTO CONT. off to avoid the possibility of
damaging your printer.)
The error messages are described below.
ADD MEMORY FOR CH-x
There is not enough memory for channel x. Either:
❐ Decrease the RX-BUFFER SIZE setting (see page 37).
❐ Change the CH setting to AUTOSENSE (see page 38).
❐ Adjust the memory distribution in the INDIVIDUAL setting of the CH function (see
page 38).
❐ Add printer memory (see page 10).
CHANGE PCU
Reset the PCU counter (see page 43). Do not change the master unit.
CHAR CREATING
The printer is creating characters. Please wait.
COPY END x/y
Multi-copy printing was canceled. ’x’ represents the current page number, and ’y’
shows the number of copies currently set in the COPIES setting (see page 27).
COVER OPEN PCU xxxxxx
The printer cover is open, or the toner cartridge or master unit is not installed. Close
the cover or install the missing component. See the fax machine’s Operator’s Manual
for how to install a toner cartridge.
’xxxxxx’ shows the current PCU counter value (see page 43). You can reset this
counter by pressing the or key while this message is displayed.
DATA: {x} {mode}
The printer has received data but is not yet printing or is off line. To resume printing,
press if the printer is off line, or press to print the data. ’x’ shows the current chan -
nel, and ’mode’ shows the current printer mode.
