GP 6 Special Boot Modes
Purpose
This procedure describes methods of recovering from certain uncertain faults.
Procedure
Some boot-up failures, as well as some uncertain fault codes, may be caused by software cor-
ruption, or by structural flaws in a command sent to the machine. In these cases, it is some-
times possible to bypass or delete the offending code during the startup process.
CAUTION
There are four special boot modes. Each mode performs a different set of initializations to
bypass a specific set of problems. There is information lost in each procedure, thus, they
should not be used unless specific directions are given. The following list gives these proce
-
dures, in the order from least-invasive to most-invasive. If you are instructed to perform a spe-
cific initialization, perform only that procedure. If you are asked to perform the entire series,
perform the steps in the order given, until the problem is resolved.
Log Initialization
This step will delete any print or copy job that is in process, and then perform a reboot.
To execute: Simultaneously press and hold the 1, the Stop, and the Power Save buttons on
the Control Panel while switching on the power. Hold the buttons down until the boot up screen
(5 circles) appears and the second circle starts to blink.
Spool Initialization
This step will delete all pending print or copy jobs in the job queue, and then perform a reboot.
To execute: Simultaneously press and hold the 6, the Stop, and the Power Save buttons on
the Control Panel while switching on the power. Hold the buttons down until the boot up screen
(5 circles) appears and the second circle starts to blink.
HDD Initialization
This step will delete all pending print or copy jobs in the IOT job queue, initializes the IOT HDD,
and will and then perform a reboot. All customer data on the HDD will be deleted.
To execute: Simultaneously press and hold the 4, the Stop, and the Power Save buttons on
the Control Panel while switching on the power. Hold the buttons down until the boot up screen
(5 circles) appears and the second circle starts to blink.
ESS NVM Initialization
CAUTION
This routine will set all IOT ESS NVM values to default. Do not attempt this procedure unless
there is a usable Machine Settings floppy, an accurate Configuration Report and/or other data
that will enable you to reload the correct NVM values for this machine.
This step will initialize the IOT ESS NVM (SYS-System and SYS-User) and then perform a
reboot.
To execute: Simultaneously press and hold the 3, the Stop, and the Power Save buttons on
the Control Panel while switching on the power. Hold the buttons down until the boot up screen
(5 circles) appears and the second circle starts to blink.
