3.4- PANEL LED

The SM2000 includes three LEDs in its front panel showing printer information.
The POWER LED (green) shows whether the SM2000 is powered on (the led is on) or it is not (the led is
off).
The PAPER OUT LED (red) shows whether the SM2000 does not have any paper and/or the cover is
open (the led is on).
The ERROR LED (red) shows if there has been any error in the SM2000 (the led is blinking) (See
section: 3.6- ERRORS PROCESSING).

3.5- SPECIAL PRINTING MODES

Besides the normal printing mode, in which all the received data are printed according to the settings or
conditions fixed by the commands, the SM2000 printer allows two special working modes: the self-test
mode and the hexadecimal mode.

3.5.1- Self-test mode

The SMS2000 provides the self-test mode with
two different functionality: showing information on the
features of that particular printer model and verifying
the printing.
To enter the self-test mode, the printer must be
powered on while keeping pressed the paper
advance button (FEED) and with the cover closed.
The SM2000 will start printing a report, which
allows checking the features of this particular
model, like the firmware current version, control
functions of the communications protocol,
DIP-switch settings, and so on.
If, once this printing has been finished, the
paper advance button FEED is still kept
pressed, the SM2000 will start printing
continuously and repetitively a character map
until it finally concludes the self-test by printing
'* * completed * *'.
This second option of the self-test mode has the goal to
validate the printing speed and quality.
