Front panel error messages
The front panel displays messages indicating the condition of the printer. Some messages, such as Standby and Warming Up, simply provide status information and require no user action. Error messages, such as Jam:Open Front Cover, require you to perform some action, such as clear a paper jam. Refer to the table below for responses to front panel error messages.

Numeric error codes: The printer may display a numeric error code when it detects certain types of problems. If you see a numeric error code, first write down the number. Then turn off the printer, wait at least 15 seconds, and then turn the printer on again. If that does not solve the problem, call your local Tektronix office for assistance or contact Tektronix Customer Support in the U.S. and Canada at 1-800-835-6100 or on-line at http://www.tektronix.xerox.com/.
