• Message Display

  The touchscreen windows and the display on the printer operator panel display messages in the language of your choice:

  • U.S. English
  • Spanish
  • French
  • German
  • Japanese
  • Italian
  • Brazilian Portuguese
  • Chinese Simplified
  • Chinese Traditional
  • Korean
  • Hungarian
  • Russian

  These messages give status information, request operator intervention, and guide operators through procedures that have more than one step. Help functions are available for most operations.

• Error Log

  Sensors and microcode detect faults in the printer. Information about faults is displayed to the operator and logged on the control unit hard disk for use in correcting problems.

• Traces

  The RS/6000^(R) can perform several kinds of traces. It can record detailed information about the printer and control unit activities and communications with the host system. The operator starts and stops traces.

• Print Samples

  You can print these print samples whenever necessary to sample print quality, solve problems, adjust the printer, or test the printer functions.
