The PW50 has five modes to help you effectively interact with the
printer: Ready, Pause, Error, Test, and Upgrade. Use the following
sections to understand the different printer modes.
The printer is in Ready mode when the printer is on and ready to
print.
Use Pause mode to momentarily stop printing or to cancel a current
print job. Use the Feed button to both pause and resume printing.
To enter Pause mode
• Press the Feed button while the printer is printing.
To resume printing
• Press the Feed button while the printer is paused.
To cancel a print job
1 Press the Feed button to pause printing.
2 Press and hold the Feed button to cancel the print job.
The printer enters Error mode when it detects an error condition such
as a low battery or a paper fault. When the printer is in Error mode,
the status LED blinks red.
Use Test mode to verify printer settings, print testprints, restore
factory default settings, or enter Dump mode for troubleshooting
purposes. Two test modes are available: Test mode and Extended Test
mode.
