1“ON LINE” switch

Switches the printer between “ON LINE” and “OFF LINE”. When- ever the printer switches between “ON LINE” and “OFF LINE”, the

buzzer gives one short beep (“ON LINE” and “OFF LINE”, switching is possible only when the paper is loaded in the printer.)

2“FEED” switch

When this switch is pressed and then released within 0.5 sec.,the paper feeds one line.

When this switch is depressed for more than 0.5 sec.,the paper feeds continuously.

(The above paper feed operation is possible for both “ON LINE” and “OFF LINE” modes.)

3“POWER” lamp (green LED)

Lights when the power for the printer is on. 4 “ALARM” lamp (red LED)

Lights when the paper is out.

If the paper is out, load a new roll then press the “ON LINE” switch.

Flashes when the front cover is open or a mechanical error (motor lock etc.) occurs. The buzzer will give one short beep followed by a long beep. Mount the front cover properly and press the “ON LINE” switch. If the buzzer still sounds and the “ALARM” lamp flashes, this signifies that a mechanical error has occurred. Locate the cause of the error and turn the power for the printer off and back on again to reset the printer.

(In case of a mechanical error, the data will not be cleared even if the power is turned off.)

When all lamps 3to 5light simultaneously and the buzzer sounds continu- ously, a CPU error has occurred. In case of a CPU error, turn off the power then turn it on again. When turning off the power, the data will be cleared.
