I believe tjhe error you are experiencing occurs when the printer BIOS detects that some change has occured to the hardware - ie a change in memory size, cartridges, etc. Sometimes the error occurs at random (perhaps due to static electricity?) Anyway, the solution is that new BIOS code needs to be downloaded to the printer via a parallel cable. Here is the URL for the tech5500.zip 13 spanned files that result in the a 36mb file called the Calcomp TechJet 5500 Service Manual in PDF format.
It covers 5524 and 5536 plotters that include yours. When Calcomp went out of business, 2 companies bought out the remaining parts inventory for the 5500 series and other Calcomp printers.
The following 2 companies have the best and only Calcomp parts stock that I am aware of. However, watch out. Their parts may be expensive and be prepared for them to try to sell you another plotter instead of fixing your own! They are at: DAYCAD 9075 Byers Rd. Miamisburg Ohio 45342 phone 937-885-3550 fax 937-847-9169 email: www.daycad.com GTCO/Calcomp - eInstruction Corporation 7125 Riverwood Drive Columbia, MD 21046 800-344-4723 or 410-381-6688 Fax: 410-290-9065 www.calcomp.com. Sorry, I do not have the firmware for a 5424. Listed below is the 55XX firmware file, you may want to do a internet search for a.frc file.
Keep in mind that some users of Calcomp 55XX printers have been able to use Oce 5200 print drivers because the 2 printers use the same print engine. I DO NOT know if there is a comparable Oce printer for the Calcomp 5424 but you might try looking. I believe that Oce still has older service manuals online.
