Seems like a comunication problem betwen the formatter PCB and the attached parts on it tike jet direct card, memory chip.
With the printer turned off, remove the formatter plastic and metal covers, start removing the jet direct card first, after removed turn the printer on and see if the printer starts normaly....if dont....turn it off and reinstall the jet direct card and do the same with the rest of attachments in the formatter board....if none solve the problem...then probably you have to replace the formatter board.
Some times the contacts betwen the formatter and the memory chip get dirty or contaminated with electrostatic......try cleaning this contacts with contact cleaning solutions or use isopropilic alcohol and a cotton swab...make sure not to use a lot or make sure that is totaly dry before to reinstall the chip(s)...and try again.
The formatter board you can buy it with different vendors but I recomend The Printer Works at 1-800-832-1400 or
www.printerparts.com and ask for a refurbished formatter....is cheaper and they work very well at this company.
I hope this can solve your problem
