FENIX IMVICO TK14 OPERATION MANUAL

57/65

PRINTER STATUS

When enabling the printer status window, the program tests the printer’s sensors and notifies every
significant error or printing status.

The program tests the printer’s status once. In some errors, there may be a little time delay from the
moment when the error is produced until the printer notifies it.
