DMP-207  (260-2917)               Alarms               Faxback Doc. # 6688

When an alarm occurs, the indicators will flash.  The type of alarm 
determines which lights flash.

The following are the types of alarms you can receive and how to clear the
errors which caused them.

Alarm Indicators:  POWER/PAPER OUT flashes

  Probable cause:  1.  The printer is out of paper.
                   2.  The paper in the printer is jammed.

          Remedy:  1.  Load more paper.
                   2.  Clear the jam and reload paper.


Alarm Indicators:  ON LINE indicator flashes while the POWER/PAPER OUT
                   indicator remains on.

  Probable cause:  This is a warning that the printhead is hot, which can
                   occasionally happen during times of heavy printing.

          Remedy:  No action is required.  When the printhead has cooled
                   sufficiently, the printer will return to on line and
                   automatically resume printing.

Alarm Indicators:  ON LINE and POWER/PAPER OUT indicators alternately
                   flash.

  Probable cause:  The printhead was not positioned correctly because of a
                   hardware error or temporary malfunction.

          Remedy:  Turn the printer off and then on again.  If the problem
                   still occurs, contact your local Radio Shack store.
