Indicator Lights

The three indicator lights—POWER, DATA, and ERROR— show
both normal operation and error conditions. Each light may appear as
green, red, or orange, and may either stay lit continuously or blink.
The meaning of the many possible indications of these lights is
explained in more detail in Chapter 5.
Some of the more common indications follow:
• POWER light is steady green: Power is on, external power.
• POWER light is red or orange: The printer is operating on battery
power. Color and blink/solid indicates approximate charge
remaining.
• POWER light is alternately blinking green/yellow: Battery is being
discharged prior to charging.
• POWER light is blinking green: Battery is charging.
• DATA light is steady green: Unprinted data is in the printer buffer or
a command has been received from the computer.
• DATA light is blinking green: Printer is receiving data.
• ERROR light is steady or blinking in any color: Except when
sending new flash code or fonts, an error has occurred.
Please refer to the table in Chapter 5 that contains all combinations of
indicator lights and their meanings.
