a copy operation or hardware diagnostics, an error message will show up on\
 the 
LCD. This may lead to an illegal operation and cause the device to stop reminding. 
If this happens, restart the device.
Source/Target

and power cables are properly connected. When making a copy please make sure 
that you set the source correctly.
Keys
