LED indicators

The four LED indicators will be turned on, off or flash depending on which state the printer is in. The Power LED will always be lit for all states except Power Off.

The blue Ready-to-Work LED shows the operational status of the printer. In simple terms, it is lit when the printer is operational. When the Ready-to-Work indicator is turned off, or flashes, it indicates that the printer is not fully operational. There are a number of conditions that can cause this behaviour; refer to Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting” for a detailed explanation. It can also flash when in Testmode or Extended Testmode, see “Running Testmode” in Chapter 5.

The red Error LED will be lit or flash when an error condition has occured. This will also cause the Ready-to-Work LED to flash or turn off.
