Operating Modes
The printer operates in one of three modes,
as described below:
Online Mode — In online mode, the printer
can receive and print data sent from the
host. Pressing the ON LINE key toggles
the printer from offline to online mode. The
status indicator is lit in online mode.
Offline Mode — In offline mode, you may
perform operator functions, such as
loading paper and setting top-of-form. You
may also traverse the printer's
configuration menus. Pressing the ON
LINE key toggles the printer from online to
offline mode. The status indicator is off in
offline mode.
Fault Mode — a fault condition exists that
must be cleared before printing can
continue. In fault mode, the status indicator
is flashing, the alarm beeps three times,
and a descriptive fault message displays.
The current operating mode may be selected via
control panel keys, or may result from routine
operations such as powering on the printer. The
current operating mode is frequently indicated as
part of the printer display message.
