Message "New Maintenance" (M1-M8)
A "New Maintenance" message on the DryStar 5300 always carries a code — M1, M2, M3, M5, or M8 — and each code points to a specific upkeep item and the chapter that covers it, from a routine thermal-head wipe-down up to a scheduled general-maintenance visit.
Applies to
DryStar 5300 (Type 5365/100)
Personnel
