INTERNAL BLUE LED LIGHTS

The Publisher’s Internal LED lights provide useful light and

also can provide status information.  
By default, the lights are set to Flash Enabled.  This condition

will flash the internal LED lights off and on during any error

condition.  

A Low Ink Warning error will slowly dim the LED lights.

A flashing LED light indicates a general system error that

needs attention such as a missing ink cartridge, out of 

discs or a mispick.  Refer to the PTPublisher software for

instructions on how to correct the problem.

The following internal LED light states can be selected in the

PTPublisher software.

- Flash Enabled (Default) - Errors are indicated in the manner

described above.

- Always On - No errors are indicated.
- Always Off - No errors are indicated.
To access these settings on a PC go to the Tools Menu -

Options.  To access these settings on a Mac go the the

PTPublisher Menu - Preferences.

C.

TRANSPORTING THE PUBLISHER

To prevent damage to the Publisher’s robotic arm during 

shipment, it is important to properly secure it.
To prepare for transport, remove the ink cartridges and disc 

holders, close the front cover and then do the following:
1.  With the front cover closed, switch off power to the unit.
2.  Press and hold the Cartridge Button.
3.  While continuing to hold the Cartridge Button, switch on

power to the unit.

Continue to hold the Cartridge Button for five seconds.  After

several more seconds, the robotics will undock and the arm

will lower.  Power will shut off automatically once the robotics

are in transport position.  If you have the cardboard spacer

that was shipped with the unit, replace the spacer inside the

unit and close the cover.  If you don't have the cardboard spac-

er,  secure the arm and cartridges to the sides of the unit with

tape and close the cover.
