Printer Indicators
When power is on, the printer has four indicator lights that provide a visual cue to the printer’s current state.
Indicator | Function |
POWER | When the green POWER indicator light is illuminated, the printer |
| is ready to operate. Assuming the printer is properly set up and a |
| label has been downloaded or a test pattern has been selected |
| pressing the PRINT/PAUSE key will cause printing to begin. |
PRINT/PAUSE If the PRINT/PAUSE key is pressed to pause the printer, the green indicator light adjacent to the key will illuminate. It will re main illuminated to remind you that the printer is in the PAUSE state, until you either resume printing, cancel the print request, or power off the printer. This light will also illuminate when the printer pauses due to an error, such as a media or ribbon out condition.
DATA | The amber DATA indicator light flashes whenever the printer is |
| receiving data from the host computer. |
ERROR | The red ERROR indicator light illuminates whenever an error |
| condition has occurred. An additional message may be displayed |
| on the LCD display to indicate the nature of the error. |
The alphanumeric LCD display provides detailed information about the operational status of the printer, menu functions, or specific information about error conditions.
