NOTES

The LQ-2500 is only supported with tractor paper. This is because in single sheet

For best results you should print at 360 x 180 DPI for normal printing and 180 x

180 DPI for draft printing.

can assist you in locating and repairing customer’s printers. The following error

codes are listed by product name.

NOTE:

Most of the beeps issued by the printers are of

second duration with a

second pause between beeps. Where the beeps or the pauses are longer,

it has been noted in the text. The description

“3

means two sets

of three beeps.

NOTE:

Printers with LCD displays use error messages along with beeps to

inform the user of problems. The following messages will help you to

troubleshoot problems.

A blank LCD screen with the Power-on LED lit can be caused by a bent

pin on one of the

or jumper

may be set incorrectly.

LQ-2550 cont.

A ‘Verify After Write” check to the SRAM has failed. The SRAM could be bad.

This is a motor control error. Four possible areas of failure are:

a. CR home condition not detected at power up

b. Platen gap motor HP not detected correctly

c. Friction/Tractor feed switching error

d. Physical obstruction such as a jammed ribbon

Skewed paper detect error. Since the initial reading upon loading a single

sheet paper, the paper has skewed. This is a printhead wire protection

feature.

Illegal paper positioning.

(1)

If the paper is loaded using the knob instead of the LOAD/EJECT switch,

this error condition will occur. This is a printhead wire protection feature.

(2)

PE sensor may have failed or is not connected.

CPU error. An undefined op-code was detected.

NOTES:

Error codes 11 and 12 are usually caused by new operators who are

un-familiar with the machine. Both of these errors are corrected by

turning the printer off, taking out the paper and turning the printer back

on. Both features were added to ensure proper paper handling and

prevent paper jams, which can result in printhead failures.

Incorrect jumper settings on the ROMA board may cause errors 10 or

20. The correct settings are documented in the Service Manual (page

A-54, figure A-52) and on TIB

LQ2550-005.

Enors

0,2,

3, 10, and 20 may require a repair, adjustment or

replacement.

LQ - 2550 Error Codes 11 and 12

Date: 4/11/90 PSB No: P-0064

Page: 1 of 1 Originator: ASB

There are two new error codes which can occur in printers with ROM version

022287 or higher.

They are error 11 and error 12.

Error 11 indicates that the paper is not straight.

Error 12 indicates that the paper was loaded using the platen knob instead of the

LOAD/EJECT button.

When these errors occur, the printer stops, the audible alarm sounds, and one

of these two error messages will appear on the front panel.

The solution to both of these errors is the same. Follow the steps below:

1. Turn the printer off.

2. Remove the paper. (Use the platen knob if necessary.)

3. Turn the printer back on.

4. Load the paper using the LOAD/EJECT button as described in the manual.

If you are using a sheet feeder, begin printing again. The printer automatically

loads the paper.

NOTE: Use the platen knob only for removing jammed paper. Never use it when

you are loading paper. Use the LOAD/EJECT button for loading the paper.
