Printer Status LED’s
The Epic 430
TM
printer has four indicator lights to indicate various operating
states of the printer. In general these are Fault, Open, Paper, and Ready.
The printer may be in normal operation, self test or in one of two boot load
modes. The Ready and Fault indicators will indicate which mode by a unique
blink pattern:
TransAct Boot Load Mode
In TransAct Boot Load Mode, the Ready LED will blink slowly with a 50% duty
cycle. It will repeat this cycle about every 2 seconds (1 Sec on, 1 Sec off).
There will be a red indication on the Fault LED indicator until the down load is
started.
Self Test Mode
When the printer is in Self Test Mode, the power indicator will blink slowly with
a 50% duty cycle at a 2 second rate. This is very similar to TransAct Boot
Load Mode, however, the red error indicator will not be present.
Normal Operation
During Normal operation, the Ready LED will remain on unless an error is
being indicated. There are two classes of errors, soft errors and hard errors.
Soft errors are recoverable without power cycling the printer; conversely,
recovering from hard errors requires removing the power from the printer,
correcting the problem, and then reapplying power.
Ready LED on (Not Blinking)
Soft Errors
Soft errors may be recovered by the host, or by opening and closing the
printer cover. Each of these errors is indicated by a 5 second repeating blink
pattern on the Ready LED with the red Fault LED continuously on.
Out of Paper 2 Blinks Paper LED will also be on.
