"49.XXXX
PRINTER ERROR
To continue turn off then on
A critical firmware error has occurred that
caused the processor on the formatter to
abort the operation.
This type of error can be caused by invalid
print commands, corrupt data, or invalid
operations.
In some instances, electrical noise in the
cable can corrupt data during transmission
to the printer. Other causes include poorquality
parallel cables, poor connections, or
specific software programs.
Sometimes, the formatter itself is at fault,
which is usually indicated by a 79 Service
Error.
After performing the actions above,
procede with the following:
1 Turn the printer on.
2 If the error message disappears,
reinstall each DIMM and EIO device
individually, making sure to turn the
printer power off and then on again as
you install each device. To replace
a DIMM, see Firmware DIMM
(LJ 4200/4300 only).
3 Replace the DIMM or EIO device that
caused the error message.
4 Remember to reconnect all of the
cables that connect the printer to the
network or computer.
5 If this error message persists, replace
the firmware DIMM. See Firmware
DIMM (LJ 4200/4300 only).
6 Replace the formatter assembly. See
Formatter assembly ." - Service Manual
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".
Corrupt print commands can cause this error. I had a situation where the corrupt job was stuck in the queue, and had to be cleared by the IT rep. Next, I'd reload the driver. Next, firmware. And lastly, formatter.
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
I had the same problem, updated firmware and still had problem, the changed the driver. If you are using pcl6 driver change it to pcl5. That is what fixed my problem.
