3.6.2 Enhanced Diagnostics
Diagnostics execute after pressing 9 0 FUNCT. If no faults exist, PROM REVISION XX, ROM
TEST OK and RAM TEST OK will display. If a fault exists, "BAD" will display until A↑ is
pressed to advance to the next test. Then SENSORS LFBMRCE will display. L is the left home
carriage sensor; F and B are the front and back document sensors, M and R are the middle
and right skew sensors, C is the cabinet open sensor and E is the document edge sensor. Any
sensor that is covered will have its corresponding indicator extinguished. Each sensor may be
activated to check for proper operation. Both operator indicator lights will turn on (DP9). Press
A↑ to conclude this test.

1. Insert a form and then press 9 5 FUNCT.
2. In response to CHAR LENGTH = 30, key in a two digit number of characters per line and
then press ENTER. Do not print occur across a vertical fold or document edge.
3. In response to LINE COUNT = 01, key in a 2 digit number of lines.

3.9 Error Conditions
3.9.1 Document Jam

document and display PAGE OVERFLOW INSERT NEXT PAGE. Printing will resume when
another document is inserted.
3.9.4 Carriage Fault
The carriage could not move to the left margin and is probably caused by a jammed carriage
or a bad left home sensor.
3.9.5 Clear Eject Jam

“CLEAR EJECT JAM” will be displayed. Assure no document is covering the sensors and the
sensors are clean. Turn power off before manually removing a jammed document. If no
document is in the printer, this condition may be cleared by pressing the ENTER key while
powering the printer on. If the condition will not clear there may be a sensor failure.
