How to Operate the ITherm

Indicator Lights (LED)

®
The three iTherm 280 indicator lights are:

Power LED

Error LED

Paper LED

Power Indicator (LED)

The power indicator lets the user know that the printer is ON. If the
blinks in conjunction with the
recoverable error: see the fault indicators discussed below. If the
and there is no error indicator blinking, the printer is being held in reset by the host.

Error Indicator (LED)

The indicator lets the user know that the printer is experiencing a problem. If the
ERROR
indicator is lit (not blinking), the error is generally recoverable without data loss.
POWER
If the indicator is blinking, a non-recoverable error has occurred: see the fault
POWER
indicators below. If the error is not operator recoverable, a power cycle may correct the
problem. If a power cycle does not correct the fault, the printer must be serviced.

Paper Indicator (LED)

The indicator signals the paper status. If the printer is equipped with a paper low
PAPER
option, the indicator will blink when the paper is low. The low sensor is adjustable,
PAPER
and the amount of paper remaining is dependent on the adjustment. If the
indicator is lit with the error indicator, the printer is out of paper: in this case, the printer
stops printing and waits for the paper to be changed.

Fault Indicators

The indicator is the primary fault indicator, and is either always on or blinking if a
ERROR
fault has occurred. There are three types of faults:
Fully-recoverable faults
Semi-recoverable faults
Non-recoverable faults
