6.1 Error Messages
Error messages requiring explanation are shown below.
6.2 ACCESS DENIED!
The operator has failed three successive times to enter an operator code contained in the system files.
6.3 CHANGING LINE TYPE WILL CAUSE NETWORK MEMORY TO BE LOST! . . . DO YOU WISH TO
COMPLETE THIS CHANGE? N
This prompt is given every time the type specification of a polling type line is changed. If N is the response, no
action is taken by the SCS-1. If Y is the response, all Network Definitions for the line are erased.
6.4 *END OF JOB*
This display signifies that the last field in the selection has been completed or the ESC key has been pressed.
After display of this message the system menu returns.
6.5 INVALID CODE! TRY AGAIN
The operator code entered does not exist in the system files.
6.6 INVALID RESPONSE!
The response entered does not match the required syntax or is out of range.
6.7 INVALID SELECTION!
The selection entered is not available from the current cursor location. Check the screen menu for valid
selections.
6.8 OPERATOR MEMORY FULL!
The SCS-1 accommodates up to 15 operators in the system files. To add a new operator a current operator
must be erased.
6.9 OPERATOR WHICH IS SIGNED ON MAY NOT BE ERASED!
This is to safeguard against erasing the only Level 9 code in the system files.
6.10 ACTIVITY LOG ERROR
When the SCS-1 cannot complete printing of a message to the ACTIVITY LOG printer, this alarm message is
displayed on the CRT for acknowledgment. Installation of a dummy plug, which shorts pins 4 and 5, causes all
messages waiting to be printed and all messages received while it is installed to be lost. Possible causes of
failure are:
Power Light Not Lit
Check AC outlet. If the outlet is good, check the internal circuit breaker and fuse located
on the left rear corner of the printer.
SEL Light Not Lit
Press the SEL switch to light the SEL light. If the light does not come on, turn the unit off
for five seconds and try again.
PAPER Light Lit
In this case the SEL light cannot be lit and paper must be added.
Bad Printer Cable
If the printer can complete a test printing and installing a dummy plug at
the rear of the SCS-1 can silence an alarm, the printer cable
has been damaged.
If none of the above are the cause, contact DMP Technical Support at 1-800-641-4282.
