•Possible causes of errors could be that the data transfer is not correct between the printer and host, due to interface setting incompatibilities or faults in the cable.

The flash ROM may be in a state that does not permit data being written to it. The following error diagnostics are useful to help you troubleshoot the actual cause(s):

	Cause	ONLINE	ERROR	BUZZER	LED

	Error during font download	ON	ON	3 short beeps	F

CAUTION

•Make sure that you do NOT turn the printer OFF when data is transferring to the flash ROM in Program or Boot Download mode, as it may corrupt the firmware and prevent the printer from starting up correctly.

•Ensure that the printer is running on a stable power supply during such flash ROM writing operations.
