Switching the Printer On and Off

Online and Offline

When the Printer Is Operating
This printer has three operation modes: online, offline
and menu mode. Each mode is described below.
Online Mode
The printer immediately processes print jobs sent from
the computer.
Offline Mode
The printer receives jobs from the computer but the
jobs are held without being processing. While the
printer is offline, you can load or cut media manually,
access the carriage, and perform other procedures.
The printer also goes offline automatically whenever
the printer cannot start processing a print job, such as
when there is no print media loaded, or when an error
occurs, etc.
Menu Mode
In menu mode, the printer function menus are
displayed on the printer display. Press the buttons on
the operation panel to set or execute the functions in
the menus. Like offline mode, this mode pauses all
jobs without processing.
