LED Indicators

The green ONLINE indicator illuminates whenever there is power to the printer, and the printer is Online.

The red FAULT Indicator illuminates whenever an error or fault is detected. A message also appears on the display to indicate what kind of fault is present (see Appendix A for explanations of all error and fault messages).

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

The 32-character, 2-line Liquid Crystal Display shows printer status, menu selections, normal, fault and error messages. It is divided into four main areas. The displayed information will vary with menu selection and the configuration of the printer.

Once the printer has been unpacked, the cables connected, the ribbon car- tridge installed, and a box of paper (whether plain paper or pre-printed forms) placed nearby, you are ready to load the paper and set the various parameters via the Control Panel that will ensure that the 6300 Series printer performs exactly as you need. This is covered in the next chapter.
