1. 28 PIX 3000x Operations Manual Chapter 3 Maintenance To prevent damage to the PIX 3000x it is recommended to only use paper type media Special care should be taken to avoid inserting paper with staples paper clips or other fastening devices directly under the print frame as damage can occur Care should also be taken when inserting paper and removing paper from the PIX Upon inserting make sure the paper does not bend or crumple because it may jam the machine Before attempting to remove the paper you should wait until the unit has completed its print cycle The PIX secures the paper by clamping down on it so if you attempt to remove the paper too soon it may tear inside the machine It is recommended to periodically clean the inside of the machine This is accomplished by using a can of pressurized air to blow out paper dust A good time to perform this preventative maintenance is when you are changing the print ribbon Error Messages Colon Status If AC power is connected and good the display colon will Blink Upon loss of AC power the display colon will remain constantly visible Messages In the event of an error a message will appear in the display The available messages are listed below along with their possible causes and solutions Error Message Cause _ Solution e Discharged battery Verify that battery cable is connected to e Battery cable not connector CN3 and connect power cord connected to AC so2.
