RequirementRelevanceHow to obtain

Menu Settings page

This document contains all the printer settings and running firmware code.

On the printer, press Menu > Reports > Menu Settings Page; or

xref_FA877_xref

for more information.

Logs Gzip


Note:

Applies to all Network-connected MFPs.

This is a compressed file which contains all the logs from the printer's SE page. This also contains fwdebug for the last three (3) 900 errors as long as auto reboot is enabled.

Important!

Do NOT power off the device. Powering off the device will erase everything.

1. Open printer's Web interface.

To do this:

a. Open a Web browser; e.g., IE, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome. b. Enter the printer's IP Address followed by /se, e.g.,http://192.168.1.2/sec. Press Enter.

2. Select Logs Gzip Compressed to download the file.

3. Save the file; e.g., logs.tar.gz.

Tip!

If you cannot access the printer's web interface on the following devices, then follow the button sequences in the table while the printer/MFP is being powered on.

2008-2010 Models: X46x, X65x, X73x, and X86x2010 Models: C950, X548, X74x, X792, X925, and X95x

Key SequencePurpose

Press STOP + GO (Start)

Enable the remote gathering of /se debug information while the device is in a crash status.

Press 2 + GO

Obtain additional information while the device is in a crash status.


Notes:

  • You should see an extra debug display on the screen. This should hopefully bring the network up and running to enable log capture.

  • Depending on the severity of the crash, the above steps do not always work as in some cases the system cannot be restored to a stable point for network access.
