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.
