Modes

The printer has ve modes as follows:

Online

The printer is ready to receive jobs sent from the computer. Jobs sent from the computer are processed immediately. If jobs are received in other modes, they are printed the next time the printer goes online.

Ofine

Any jobs sent from the computer are held without being processed. While the printer is ofine, you can feed or cut roll paper manually.

The printer goes ofine automatically if jobs cannot be processed, such as if errors occur.

Menu mode

Menus are displayed on the printer, and you can select, set, or execute menu items. Any jobs sent from the computer are held without being printed.

Submenu mode

Submenus are displayed regarding ink and paper information. Jobs can be received and printing is possible while submenus are displayed and the printer is online. In other modes, any jobs sent from the computer are held without being printed while submenus are displayed.

Sleep mode

The printer is in power-saving mode. The printer automatically enters Sleep mode to conserve power if it is idle for a specic period (by factory default, ve minutes), that is, if no print jobs are received or buttons are pressed while all covers are closed.

You can specify the period before the printer enters Sleep mode in the Sleep Timer menu. (→P.59) If any print jobs are received when the printer is in Sleep mode (after it was originally online), the printer goes online and prints the jobs.
