About On-line and Off-line

When the printer can receive data from a personal computer and is able to print the
data is called <on-line>, and when the printer cannot receive data it is called <off-
line>. The printer should be off-line when you operate the printer using the menu on
the control panel.

About On-line and Off-line

Press [Go] to turn on the On Line indicator.
The printer comes on-line and is ready for printing.
IMPORTANT
If there is an error in the printer (when the Alarm indicator (orange) is on or the digit
part of the message is flashing), the printer will not become on-line. Eliminate the
cause of the error before bringing the printer on-line.
The printer does not come on-line during operations such as selecting a menu
function or a paper feed method, or setting the paper size. Complete the operation
before bringing the printer on-line.
Do not open the cover of the printer or remove the paper cassette while printing. If
the cover is opened or the paper cassette is removed, the printer will stop printing
and may not be able to resume printing again.
Saving Power Consumption (Sleep Mode)
After a specific time period has passed without any operation or without any
data sent from the personal computer, the printer automatically switches to
Sleep Mode. Sleep Mode is automatically cancelled when any of the buttons on
the control panel are pressed or an error occurs. Sleep Mode is also canceled if
the printer has received data while it is on-line. Sleep Mode is also cancelled
when the error has been cancelled while the printer is off-line.
