Understanding Error Mode

The printer enters Error mode when it detects an error condition such 
as a low battery or a paper fault. Some error messages appear on the 
screen immediately when they occur, such as DOOR OPEN. Other 
error messages do not appear until you press the 

Information 

button. If there is more than one error at a given time, the errors 
display in the order that they occurred.

Sample Error Mode Screen

If you encounter an error message, see 

“Understanding Error 

Messages” on page 56

 for information on how to fix the problem.

Understanding Test Mode

Use Test mode to verify printer settings, test printing, restore factory 
default settings, or enter Dump mode for troubleshooting purposes. 
Two test modes are available: Test mode and Extended Test mode. 

Using Test Mode

Test mode is a simple sequence of events that requires little user 
interaction. Extended Test mode requires more user interaction and 
lets you select which actions you want the printer to perform.

To enter Test mode

1

Make sure the printer is in Ready mode and is loaded with media.

2

Press and hold the 

Feed

 and 

Standby

 buttons at the same time 

until Select Media appears on the screen and it displays the type of 
media you are using.
