3.1 Operations in Online State

Online key and offline status

[ONLINE] is a switch-type key, i.e.: press once for offline, press again for online.
In online status (indicator light is on), printer receives the data from the computer and print normally.
In offline status (indicator light is off), printer stops printing and sends a signal to the computer that it
cannot receive data.
If printing paper is loaded, printer will be on-line when it's power-on. If unloaded, it will be offline and
paper out light is on. When you load the paper, printer will return to online status.
Note: Most of the operations should be done in offline state.

mode.
