5-1 Orange LED and
Troubleshooting
In normal condition, the LED on the front panel of your printer shows a green
light, which is steady during idling, and blinking during operation. Once the
printer detects a problem, the orange LED blinks periodically. The number of
blinks represents different situations, possible causes, and troubleshooting as
shown in the following table:
Note: When the printer has two problems concurrently, the indicator will blink
according to individual problem. For example, when there are Problems 1
and 3, then the indicator will blink 1 time -> blink 3 times-> blink 1 time-> blink
3 times repeatedly.

Troubleshooting
Check ribbon installation.
Recheck if ribbon cartridge is fixed
into position. If you are not sure,
please carefully remove the ribbon
cartridge, and reinstall it.
Close the ribbon cover to the fixed
position.
Check if there is paper in the tray.
Rearrange the paper, and make sure
they are properly placed.
Do NOT tear the paper immediately
because the paper is stuck in the
roller of the printer and cannot be
removed. Please turn off your
printer first.
After 5 seconds, power on the printer.
