The printer is designed to operate in a shirtsleeve

of the spill.

Panel FIP.
• If the printer makes questionable noises, go to
Section 4.2, Noises.
• If an error message is displayed go to Table 5–1,
Error Code Master Lookup Table.

The Online indicator goes out and PAUSED appears on
the display. The printer is off line.
6. Press

to enter the
Test menu.
