UPOS CONCERNS
The UPOS compliance and OPOS compliance ability of the PP-8800/8800E
series dictates the printer to perform certain internal affairs such as counter
refreshment periodically. When the printer is engaged in such operations there
will be a brief period of time that the printer is busy without externally
apprehensible cause. In other words, the printer will lit the ERROR LED
briefly once in a while even when no external communication is in process and
that is definitely normal.
