LED flashes three times: the voltage is lack LED flashes four times : CPU Execution error (wrong address ) LED flashes five times : UIB error LED flashes eight times : temperature detection circuit is wrong Recoverable error: the indicator continuously flashes and persisment off for a period.
2.6 Self-test The self-test will check the condition of printer, if the printer prints out the self-test receipt correctly, it means the printer works normally except interface with host. Otherwise it needs to repair. The self-test will print out: Manufacturer name, printer model, software version, interface type, default value of printer parameters, 96 ANK characters in ASCII code, content of default codepage (if language is set English) or name of Chinese character library (if the language is set Chinese), barcode...

To terminate hexadecimal dump, Press FEED button three times. This means the printer has entered hexadecimal printing mode, and under this mode, all of the input will be printed out as hexadecimal number, feed one line with single-click of “FEED” button, after 3 times, it will print out “*** Completed ***”,and exit hexadecimal printing mode.
Appendix A: Parameter setting This appendix is the method to set default parameters of printer by buttons. Setup instruction: use the button of【paper case cover】 to choose the setting items, change the item by press the button【paper case cover】, and print out the current value.
