AR-C330 SELF DIAG MESSAGE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 10 - 1
[10] SELF DIAG MESSAGE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Outline
When a trouble occurs in the machine or when the life of a con-
sumable part is nearly expired or when the life is expired, the
machine detects and displays it on the display section or notifies to
the user or the serviceman by voice messages.
This allows the user and the serviceman to take the suitable
action. In case of a trouble, this feature notifies the occurrence of a
trouble and stops the machine to minimize the damage.
2. Function and purpose
1) Securing safety. (The machine is stopped on detection of a
trouble.)
2) The damage to the machine is minimized. (The machine is
stopped on detection of a trouble.)
3) By displaying the trouble content, the trouble position can be
quickly identified. (This allows to perform an accurate repair,
improving the repair efficiency.)
4) Preliminary warning of running out of consumable parts allows
to arrange for new parts in advance of running out. (This
avoids stopping of the machine due to running out the a con-
sumable part.)
3. Self diag message kinds
The self diag messages are classified as shown in the table below.
4. Self diag operation

ble is repaired. Some other troubles must be cleared by a simula-
tion.

sages must be cleared by a simulation.
