Firmware Error: PostScript/Raster Processor Error
This error indicates a problem with the printer's internal processing of print jobs, specifically related to PostScript or raster data. It might be triggered by a complex print file.
- 1Corrupted or outdated printer firmware requiring an update or reinstallation.
- 2Insufficient printer memory (RAM) to process complex PostScript or raster print jobs, leading to a buffer overflow.
- 3Damaged or faulty formatter board, which houses the PostScript/raster processor and memory modules.
- 4Corrupt or improperly formatted print file (e.g., malformed PostScript, unsupported image compression) sent from the host computer.
- 5Intermittent communication issues between the formatter board and other printer components, such as the hard disk drive (if present) where spool files might be stored.
- Printer displays error code '61:05' on the front panel and stops printing.
- Print jobs, especially large or graphically intensive ones, fail to print or are cancelled mid-process.
- Printer may become unresponsive or enter a 'processing' state indefinitely before displaying the error.
- Printer reboots unexpectedly after attempting to process a print job.
- Print jobs sent to the printer are deleted from the print queue without printing.
