Status and Error Messages
This chapter supplies solutions to problems you may encounter.
If an error occurs, your best source of information is the display on
the control panel. The error messages displayed there tell you what
is wrong and, in some cases, indicate the actions you should take
to correct the problem. Status messages also appear on the display
during the printer’s normal operation. They indicate the printer’s
current status.
This section contains an alphabetical list of status and error
messages you may encounter and includes the steps you need to
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 the CONTINUE button 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.
Status messages are preceded by [S], warning messages are
preceded by [W], and error messages are preceded by [E]. In some
cases the message you see on your display also shows the printer
mode.
[E] ADD MEMORY FOR CH-X
The printer has insufficient memory available in the channel
displayed. You may have changed the printer mode, increased
the RX-BUFFER setting, or changed the MEMORY SHARE
setting. To correct the error, add memory. You can also
decrease the RX-BUFFER setting or change the MEMORY
SHARE setting in SelecType Level 2.
