Fully-recoverable and Status
A fully-recoverable error will restart printing exactly where it stopped when the error
occurred. Printing will resume after error has been properly addressed. A
status
recoverable error is very similar to a fully-recoverable error. Additionally, status is used
to display when the printer consumables may need replacing.
Semi-recoverable
A semi-recoverable error is determined by whether or not the printer has to be shut off
and turned back on while attending to the problem. The amount of information lost is
dependent on the type of error and the state of the information being processed.
Non-recoverable
A non-recoverable error produces information loss.
Error Blink Codes
If during normal operation, the
ERROR
indicator is lit and the
POWER
indicator is blinking,
a minor error occurred. The
POWER
indicator shows the error by blinking a pattern.
Cycling the power restarts the printer. Blink patterns are defined as follows.
1 Blink (1 blink, pause)
__█__________________█______
2 Blink (2 blinks, pause)
__█__█_______________█
__
█___
3 Blink (3 blinks pause)
__█__█__█____________█
__
█__█_
A similar pattern is followed for other blink counts. Error indications are as follows:
Error Indicated Blink Count
Unused 1
Configuration Read 2
Configuration Write 3
Software Error 4
Auto Cutter Error 5
Unused 6
User Store Format Error 7
Electronic Journal Format Error 8
Flash Operation Error 9
