Chapter 3 Overview
Operating Modes
The printer has three operating modes: online mode, offline mode, and fault mode.
•Online Mode. When the printer is online, it is controlled by the host computer and prints data sent by the host computer.
•Offline Mode. In offline mode, communication with the host is interrupted so that you can load paper, change ribbons, or test and configure the printer.
•Fault Mode. When the printer is in fault mode, it has encountered an error condition, and printing stops until the error condition is cleared.
