SYMPTOM/TEXT: SELF TEST WILL NOT WORK. NONE OF THE PAPER FEED KEYS WORK BECAUSE 
THE READY LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN THE OFF LINE/ON LINE KEY IS PRESSED (ON THE OP-   
ERATOR CONTROL PANEL). PRINTER INITALIZES PROPERLY WHEN POWERED ON.
FIX:.CHANGE THE FXEXT PCB (  NACS  PART NUMBER NS050173 ). THE FXEXT PCB CON-   
TAINS A ROM WHERE A PORTION OF THE MAIN PROGRAM IS STORED. IF THIS EXTENSION    
PCB IS DAMAGED OR NOT FUNTIONING PROPERLY IT CAUSES THE PRINTER TO HANG.
