System Errors for the DesignJet 230 and 250C Plotters
The DesignJet 230 and 250C plotters have many failure modes that cause system errors.
Many are due to electrical problems, others electronic, and some mechanical.
To more precisely troubleshoot the system error, you may be able to find out what line of the
firmware code the error appeared, and interpret this line;
1 If possible, print the service configuration plot (see ' page 8Ć49). The last system error,
and the line number of the system error are printed on this plot.
2 See if the line number also appears in the following table. (Make sure that you also know
which firmware revision the plotter is using, since a given line number corresponds to
different lines in different revisions.)
