Indicator Lights

The three indicator lights—POWER, DATA, and ERROR— show both normal operation and error conditions. Each light may appear as green, red, or orange, and may either stay lit continuously or blink. The meaning of the many possible indications of these lights is explained in more detail in Chapter 5.

Some of the more common indications follow:

•POWER light is steady green: The printer is operating on external power.

•POWER light is red or orange: The printer is operating on battery power. Color and blink/solid indicates approximate charge remaining.

•POWER light is alternately blinking green/yellow: Battery is being discharged prior to charging.

•POWER light is blinking green: Battery is charging.

•DATA light is steady green: Unprinted data is in the printer buffer or a command has been received from the computer.

•DATA light is blinking green: Printer is receiving data.

•ERROR light is steady or blinking in any color (except when sending new flash code or fonts): An error has occurred.

Please refer to the table in Chapter 5 that contains all combinations of indicator lights and their meanings.
