3.4.2 LED indicators on control unit
The status screen of the control unit shows a LED indicator which is showing the same as the status LED on
the coding unit, see section 3.4.3.
The green LED indicator, on the front bottom left corner of the control unit enclosure, indicates whether the
heating element for preheating the printhead is energised (heating). When starting up the printer, the LED
will light continuously.
When at temperature, the LED will start flashing. If the LED remains off during printing, the temperature of
the printhead is above the set temperature of the preheat setting.
The thermal printhead produces heat, so if the system is printing a lot, the printhead will be heated by the
energy it produces and the preheating system simply shuts down.
3.4.3 LED indicators and front button on coding unit
There are two LED indicators and a single front button (S) mounted on the coding unit. This is particularly
useful for operators during the replacement of ribbon or solving a ribbon break as all the necessary controls
are located above the magazine.
Fig. 3.3
LED indicators and front button
The front button has several functions:
1.
Following a ribbon break, printer malfunction or head being lifted: pressing the front button (S) will
attempt to reset the condition. However, if the condition remains e.g. the ribbon breakage is not
recovered, then the button will not reset the printer.
2.
If the printer is ready to print i.e. label loaded, head locked and no printer fault: pressing the front
button will trigger a single print when the system is set in pause mode.
3.
After placing a new roll of ribbon: pressing and holding the front button for about 4 seconds will
reset the ribbon left value to the length of a full roll.
4.
After a firmware update or if the system is not responding properly: pressing the front button while
switching on the printer will reset most of the variables to the factory setting. To reset the control
unit:
1.
Press front button (S).
2.
Switch on the control unit and keep front button pressed
3.
When the status led starts flashing, release the front button.
The Power LED shows if the 5VDC is present in the coding unit
The Status LED displays several conditions:
Constant green:
System ready for printing.
Blinking green:
No label loaded.
Fast blinking green: Internal data communication activity.
Constant orange:
Ribbon break, head unlocked or printer fault.
Blinking orange:
