EPC1800 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
NOTE: If EPC1800 detects no paper or platen open while is printing it will stop the
communication in order not loose any data.
5.5- LED INDICATOR
EPC1800 has one indicator led to visually inform about the printer status. When the LED lights or
blink GREEN means normal operation. The LED blinks ORANGE whether the EPC1800 has detect a
non-recoverable error. The LED blinks RED when a recoverable error has been occurred. If the lights

.7- ERROR PROCESSING
5.6- SPECIAL PRINTING MODES
Besides the normal printing mode in which all the received data are printed according to the
settings or conditions fixed by the commands, the EPC1800 printer allows three special working modes:
self-test mode, programming mode and the hexadecimal mode.
5.6.1- Self-test mode
The printer provides the self-
test mode with two different
functionality: showing information
of the settings of that particular
printer model and verifying the
printing.
To enter the self-test mode,
the printer must be powered on
while keeping pressing the button.
The EPC1800 will start
printing a report, which allows
checking the features of this
particular model, like the firmware
current version, control functions of
the communications protocol, and
so on.
If, once this printing has been
finished, the button is kept pressed;
the printer will start printing
continuously and repetitively a
character map until it finally
concludes the self-test by printing ‘*
* completed * *’. This second
option of the self-test mode has the
goal of validating the printing speed
and quality.
At the end of the self-test
page there are few lines showing
the three different maintenance
counts:
1- Times that the printer has been
switched on.
2- Time (in half hours) that the printer has been powered on.
3- Meters of paper printed.
