Epson II Printer User Manual


 
Status and Error Messages
If an error occurs, your best source of information is the display on
the control panel. The messages displayed there tell you what may
be wrong and, in some cases, indicate the actions you should take to
correct the problem. Status messages appear on the display during
normal operation. They indicate the printer’s current status.
This section contains an alphabetical list of status and error messages
you may encounter while printing and includes steps you can take
to correct any problems.
Note: In some cases, the red
CONTINUE
light flashes when an error
is detected. This requires you to correct
the
problem and then
press
CONTINUE
to clear the error. However, if the AUTO CONT
option in SelecType is set to
on, some
errors
may
clear
automatically even though
the
problem remains. In
most
instances, you should leave AUTO CONT set to off.
The messages
In this section of the manual, status messages are preceded by [S],
error messages are preceded by [E] and warning messages are
preceded by [W]. In some cases the message you see on your display
also shows the printer mode.
[E] ADD MEMORY FOR CH-X
This indicates
that
there is not enough memory in Channel X. See
Chapter 4 for instructions on changing the RX-BUFFER SIZE or
adjusting
the
memory distribution in the INDIVIDUAL setting
or see Appendix A for adding memory.
[E] CANCEL MANUAL FEED
This message indicates that there is no paper in
the
manual feed
slot when you are using manual feed. See Chapter 5.
