Abstract
A system and method for multilevel self-service device diagnostics and resolution includes a processor, a user interface and a memory storing various communication sequences. Communication sequences include one or more communication modes and steps to be performed to address a multifunction peripheral device issue. Sequences are stored associatively with a data corresponding to an error condition. A data interface transmits state data corresponding to a current device error condition. An initial communication sequence associated with the error condition corresponding to transmitted state data is selected and initiated on the user interface. The device communicates updated state data corresponding to the error condition after completion of the initial sequence. A determination is made as to whether the error condition has been alleviated. If not, an elevated communication sequence is selected and initiated. A communication sequence may also be selected based on sophistication or experience of an associated user.
