Learning How to Operate the Printer

To operate the printer, you need to understand:

Power light The Power light helps you determine when the
printer is on or off, or if there is a problem with the printer.

Feed/Pause button The Feed/Pause button allows you to feed
out media, pause the printer, and print a hardware configuration
label.

Understanding the Power Light

Use the Power light to monitor the status of the printer:

Light

Receiving data

Flashing

System fault
Over-temperature

Orange

On
Flashing

Media fault
Paused

Over-Temperature If the printer overheats, the Power light
flashes red and the printer stops. Do not try to troubleshoot or
adjust the printer—just allow it enough time to cool down and it
will resume operation on its own.

Media or System Faults If the Power light turns red or orange
and remains on, your printer is experiencing a media or system
fault. For help, see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting.”
