ON LINE switch/indicator

Press the button to toggle the printer online or offline. The indicator lights up to indicate that the printer is online. When the printer goes offline, it ceases printing and becomes unable to receive data from the host.

NOTE: If the print head overheats during long continuous use, the printer automatically stops printing and the ON LINE indicator begins to flash. The printer will automatically resume printing when the print head cools down.

FEED switch

This button generates continuous or full paper feed, depending on the setting of Memory Switch. The FEED switch operates regardless of whether the printer is online or offline. If Memory Switch is set to Start-position detect = OFF, hold the FEED switch down to feed paper continuously. Paper feed stops when you release the button. If Memory Switch is set to Start-position detect = ON, each press of the FEED switch feeds the paper to the next top position.

POWER indicator

Lights up to indicate that the printer’s power is on.

HEAD UP indicator

Lights up to indicate that the print head unit is unlocked. Do not try printing while this indicator is on. If this indicator comes on suddenly during printing, it is likely that a paper jam has pushed the print head unit out of position.
