Section 3: Configuration and Operation
3.4 ONLINE AND OFFLINE MODES
The general and basic operation of the S8400 series print engine is via the Normal mode, which
consists of the ONLINE and OFFLINE modes.
3.4.1 Online Mode
Pressing the LINE button causes the printer to go ONLINE or
OFFLINE alternately.
When the printer is ONLINE, the following activities will be possible:
• The printer is ready to receive print data from the computer or
other connected devices
• The printer is ready to start printing
3.4.2 Offline Mode
When the printer is ONLINE, pressing the LINE button once will
cause the printer to go OFFLINE.
When the printer is OFFLINE, the activities for ONLINE mode are
no longer possible, but the following activities will be possible:
• The printer can eject labels when you press the FEED button.
• The printer can be switched to other modes when you press the
ENTER button.
• Any printing job can be PAUSED once the printer is brought
OFFLINE
• Any printing job can be cancelled once the CANCEL button is
pressed in OFFLINE mode. The menu for canceling the print job
then appears. Move the cursor to "No" and press ENTER to
confirm cancellation of the print job. The message "CANCEL
PRINT JOB COMPLETED" then appears as shown on the right.
• In OFFLINE mode, press the ENTER button to access the icon-
based printer settings menu as shown here. Using the cursor
buttons, you can access the ONLINE mode, USER mode,
INTERFACE mode, CF Card Mode, SEMBL mode, ADVANCED
mode, HEX DUMP mode and SERVICE mode from here. These
modes will be discussed in subsequent sections.
3.4.3 SEMBL Operation
If the printer has been set to SEMBL mode using the SEMBL AUTO START feature (see "3.8.19
Specifying SEMBL AUTO START" on page 3-20), the printer will run the SEMBL program
every time it is turned ON.
