I have a tektronix phaser 340 (which I think is rather
less
then 10 years
old, but I'm not certain...) that has started saying "Fault
05,000.42:8178".
I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with these
printers and/or knows
where I can get a fault code reference for them, because I
really don't want
to pay xerox to fix my printer. I have a feeling this is
something pretty
simple -- the printer was off for a while (like about 3
months) and then just
started doing this last night. any help would be much appreciated.
Well, I had some exposure to a Phaser III, but it's been a while, and I
don't think I've ever seen anything like the above message.
I suppose you've gone through the whole "check the cables, make sure
nothing's stuck, check for grilled cheese in the ink-wells" thing? (The one
I used, at least, was a thermal transfer printer. Very nice.)
I might also suggest removing the cables, and if there's a NIC, pulling it
to see if that's the fault location.
Otherwise, it's unfortunate that most people/institutions don't have the
good taste to purchase such printers ;) I'd have liked to have more
exposure to them.
