2.3THE STATUS LIGHT

The status light has different functions depending upon the mode of the printer. Table 1 shows the relationship between the status light and the different modes.

		Status Light

Light	Mode	Meaning
Color
Green	All	On-Line and ready to print
Red	All	Printer error:
		Caused by a paper-out condition or a hardware failure. If
		paper is out, follow instructions in section 2.3, otherwise
		turn printer off and back on. If condition persists, contact
		your service representative.
Flashing	All	Spike or low voltage on the AC line. The unit will remain in
Red		this mode until the condition is removed and the printer is
		powered off.
Yellow	Tag/tear, Peel	Label present. Label is ready to be removed from the printer
		mouth
Flashing	All	Printer is paused or in standby mode and is waiting for the
Yellow		front panel button to be pressed. If the paper was just
		changed and the reprinted label look good, press the button
		during the next print cycle to clear the repeat function and
		flashing yellow light.
Flashing	All	A serial port buffer overflow has occurred. Check the host
Yellow and		flow control for problems. (Note: the serial buffer will only
Red		accept 9 characters after the printer drops the clear to send
		signal or optionally sends the XOFF character.)
