A / D 

No.

 

Description Context 

Consequences 

Check / Cause / Remedy / Solution 


CRC EEPROM 
Ink circuit 
incorrect 

The CRC calculated when 
the printer is switched on is 
different from the CRC 
stored. 
 

Consequences: 

The IC60 

time counter information is 
lost, but the module continues
to run as usual. 
 

 


CRC EEPROM 
CPU incorrect 

The CRC calculated when 
the printer is switched on is 
different from the CRC 
stored. 
 

Consequences: 

Ink type 

data is lost.  The IC60 stops 
and printing is disabled. 

 

1-  Re-enter the ink type parameter values. 
 
2-  Perform the auto-calibration procedure. 
 
3-  If the fault reappears, change the CPU board. 
 


CRC Flash 
memory error 
(print) 

The software upgrade did not 
install properly. 
 

Consequences: 

Unreliable 

printer operation.  The printer 
may crash. 

1-  PCMCIA/Compact Flash card reader 

defective 

Reinstall the software 
 

2-  PCMCIA/Compact Flash card 

Insert another card 
 

3- Upgrade 

file 

Check the files on the card.  Load another 
file. 
 


CRC Flash 
memory error 
(Algorithm) 

The CRC calculated when 
the printer is switched on is 
different from the CRC 
stored. 
 

Consequences: 

The 

algorithm data is unusable 
because the flash memory 
was written incorrectly. 
 

1-  PCMCIA/Compact Flash card reader 

defective 

Reinstall the software 
 

2-  PCMCIA/Compact Flash card 

Insert another card 
 

3- Upgrade 

file 

Check the files on the card.  Load another 
file. 
 

10 

External 
communication 
timeout 

The serial communication 
between a processor and the 
printer was interrupted. 

 

Consequences: 

The data 

sent to the printer may be 
wrong. 
 

1-  Check wiring and connections 
 
2-  Check the printer configuration 

(transmission 

rate, etc.)
