The blue Ready-to-Work LED ( )shows the operational status
of the printer. In simple terms, it is turned on when the printer is
operational. The indicator is set to flash when the printer is
receiving data or under certain “mild” error conditions, for
example when the printer is awaiting an IP address from the
network, when the printhead is lifted, or when media is loaded
incorrectly. It also flashes when the printer is in Setup mode,
Testmode, and Extended Testmode (see Chapter 3,
“Configuring
the Printer.”
).
When more serious errors occur, the indicator turns off
completely, and the red Error LED ( ) turns on or flashes. There
are a number of conditions that can cause this behavior; for help,
see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting and Maintenance.”
The green Ready/Data LED ( ) turns on, off, or flashes
depending on the current state of the printer. A more thorough
description of this behavior can be found in
“Understanding
Printer States” on page 26
.
