These errors are extremely rare, but measures are built into the printer diagnostics to track possible occurrences. Flash Write Errors Errors related to writing or erasing flash are critical errors. These errors cause the printer to stop all processing and produce an LED code and a sequence of beeps. The LED code indicates the address of the segment where the error occurred in octal notation. The octal digit changes every four beeps until four octal digits are output. Only four octal digits are output since blocks are 256 bytes in size and flash can be addressed with a total of 0x7ff blocks. The segment address output is the runtime address of the flash block and not the offset of the block within flash. To obtain the block offset within the flash • Subtract 0x800 from the address output to determine the block offset. The printer suspends after the processing the error code. When the printer resumes, an error again and the printer suspends again. Reset the printer to correct the error. If a reset does not correct the error, have the printer checked by a qualified service technician. Note: Flash write errors may be unrecoverable. 82 6820 Series 80-Column Printer User Manual
