Messages on the LCD (In the 1st row) WARMING UP (In the 2nd row) WAIT FOR A WHILE (In the 1st row) MACHINE ERROR XX (In the 2nd row) Unplug machine, then call Brother. CHANGE DRUM SOON PLS OPEN COVER (In the 1st row) PAPER JAM (In the 2nd row) Open cover, then remove jammed paper. (In the 1st row) PLS CLEAN DRUM (In the 2nd row) Clean corona wire of drum unit. Probable Cause The controller, which monitors the internal resistance of the incasing temperature sensor (thermistor) and heater thermistor, has detected that the temperature inside the equipment or the heater temperature has not reached the specified level. If either temperature does not reach the preset level, recording is not possible. "XX" indicates an error code. Refer to [ 2 ] on pages VI-5 and VI-6. The service life of the drum unit will expire soon. This message appears for one minute. (You can turn this message indication on or off by the maintenance-mode function code 10, WSW31, selector 8. Refer to Appendix 2.) To display the relating detailed error code, use maintenancemode function code 82. (Refer to Chapter V, Section 3.14.) If this message appears, open and close the front cover. The message may disappear if opening/closing the front cover removes the error. If the error persists, the "MACHINE ERROR XX" will appear. Paper jam (1) The registration sensor detects no paper within the specified time length after the start of paper pulling-in. (2) The registration sensor has been ON for less than the specified time length (paper of approx. 3.15" long) or for more than the specified time length (paper of approx. 16" long). (3) When the machine is switched on or the front cover is opened and then closed, the registration sensor or paper ejection sensor is ON. (4) The paper ejection sensor sticks to ON. (5) The paper ejection sensor does not come ON within the specified time length after the registration sensor has come ON. (6) The paper ejection sensor is kept ON after the specified time length although the registration sensor has come ON. The toner sensor detects abnormal discharge that could be caused by the dirtied corona wire of the drum unit. VI - 3

Messages on the LCD

Probable Cause

(In the 1st row)

WARMING UP

(In the 2nd row)

WAIT FOR A WHILE

The controller, which monitors the internal resistance of the in-

casing temperature sensor (thermistor) and heater thermistor,

has detected that the temperature inside the equipment or the

heater temperature has not reached the specified level. If either

temperature does not reach the preset level, recording is not

possible.

(In the 1st row)

MACHINE ERROR XX

(In the 2nd row)

Unplug machine, then call

Brother.

"XX" indicates an error code.

Refer to [ 2 ] on pages VI-5 and

VI-6.

CHANGE DRUM SOON

The service life of the drum unit will expire soon.

This message

appears for one minute.

(You can turn this message indication on or off by the

maintenance-mode function code 10, WSW31, selector 8.

Refer to Appendix 2.)

PLS OPEN COVER

To display the relating detailed error code, use maintenance-

mode function code 82.

(Refer to Chapter V, Section 3.14.)

If this message appears, open and close the front cover.

The

message may disappear if opening/closing the front cover

removes the error.

If the error persists, the "MACHINE ERROR

XX" will appear.

(In the 1st row)

PAPER JAM

(In the 2nd row)

Open cover, then remove

jammed paper.

Paper jam

(1) The registration sensor detects no paper within the specified

time length after the start of paper pulling-in.

(2) The registration sensor has been ON for less than the

specified time length (paper of approx. 3.15" long) or for

more than the specified time length (paper of approx. 16"

long).

(3) When the machine is switched on or the front cover is

opened and then closed, the registration sensor or paper

ejection sensor is ON.

(4) The paper ejection sensor sticks to ON.

(5) The paper ejection sensor does not come ON within the

specified time length after the registration sensor has come

ON.

(6) The paper ejection sensor is kept ON after the specified time

length although the registration sensor has come ON.

(In the 1st row)

PLS CLEAN DRUM

(In the 2nd row)

Clean corona wire of drum

unit.

The toner sensor detects abnormal discharge that could be

caused by the dirtied corona wire of the drum unit.
