Appendix B Control panel menus 196 Service menu The Service menu is locked and requires a PIN to enter. A service professional may use this, but a user should have no need for access. Item Explanation CLEAR EVENT LOG This item allows the service representative to clear the printer internal error log. TOTAL PAGE COUNT The page count stored in NVRAM and displayed on the configuration page printout represents the number of pages, which the formatter has formatted (engine test prints are not included in this number). If it becomes necessary to repair a printer by installing a new controller PCA, the service representative must be able to set the page count so that it represents the age of the print engine rather the age of the controller PCA. MAINTENANCE COUNT This item allows a service representative to reset the page count if the value is lost for some reason. This will be set initially at the factory to 0. Users can enter any number up to value set for maintenance interval. This value will be reset to 0 if the user sets the menu item NEW MAINTENANCE KIT to YES in the Resets menu. MAINTENANCE INTERVAL This item allows a service representative to set the page count threshold when the next service is due for the printer. Initially, this will be set at the factory to a value applicable to each type of engine. Users can enter any number up to 350,000. SERIAL NUMBER This item allows the manufacturing facility to set the serial number of the formatter initially installed in the printer. Also, this number is updated accordingly if a service representative replaced a printer formatter board. COLD RESET PAPER The default paper size is stored in NVRAM, and when the printer is cold reset, the default paper size is set to the factory setting. Service menu

Item

Explanation

CLEAR EVENT LOG

This item allows the service representative to clear the printer internal error log.

TOTAL PAGE COUNT

The page count stored in NVRAM and displayed on the configuration page printout represents

the number of pages, which the formatter has formatted (engine test prints are not included in

this number). If it becomes necessary to repair a printer by installing a new controller PCA, the

service representative must be able to set the page count so that it represents the age of the

print engine rather the age of the controller PCA.

MAINTENANCE COUNT

This item allows a service representative to reset the page count if the value is lost for some

reason. This will be set initially at the factory to 0. Users can enter any number up to value set

for maintenance interval. This value will be reset to 0 if the user sets the menu item

NEW

MAINTENANCE KIT

to YES in the

Resets

menu.

MAINTENANCE INTERVAL

This item allows a service representative to set the page count threshold when the next

service is due for the printer. Initially, this will be set at the factory to a value applicable to

each type of engine. Users can enter any number up to 350,000.

SERIAL NUMBER

This item allows the manufacturing facility to set the serial number of the formatter initially

installed in the printer. Also, this number is updated accordingly if a service representative

replaced a printer formatter board.

COLD RESET PAPER

The default paper size is stored in NVRAM, and when the printer is cold reset, the default

paper size is set to the factory setting.
