Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Correcting Errors
Introduction There are several places to check the status of the system:
• The alert lamp on the imager automatically lights or flashes when an
error or warning occurs. You can set or change the alert lamp
settings in maintenance mode. (See “Alert Settings” on page 3-2.)
• The imager display screen shows messages that are related to
printing functions, for example, ink low and maintenance messages.
If an error occurs, the alert lamp and/or the display screen light
illuminate, and a message displays.
• The small screen on the DICOM Interface shows the media size for
loaded and requested media for the jobs from modalities.
• The Web Portal provides more detailed status and system
information.
Messages and suggested correction actions are provided in this chapter.
