If a fault condition occurs in the printer, the CHECK light illuminates, the status lamps blink
alternately, and the first line of the message display reads FAULT CONDITION. If confiĆ
gured,
an alarm will
sound when the F

show the specific fault. (If the specific
fault
description requires two lines, the message F

will not be shown.) Displayed faults fall into one of two categories:
