Note: When "*1": "00008001" is displayed.

As “00008001” in hexadecimal means “0000000000000001000000000000001” in binary, you can find out the code is assigned to Bit-0 and Bit-15 referring to the above table. You can check the contents of the call by searching the table for each bit. In this case, two errors are occurring simultaneously. (Bit-0: Pump Cap Unit near end/ Bit-15: Out of RTC battery)

Note "*2": When the part reached the end of the life and the user decided to continue using the part, Maintenance Call (life lengthening) occurs and is able to continue printing.
