Correct the error conditions
The
printer detects errors under the
following conditions and turns the status
indicator LED on (the indicator is not turned on if
any error occurs in the drive circuit of the
indicator, however):
.
An error was detected during the self-test
sequence.
.
Tried to print when temperatures were
extremely high or low.
If the indicator is turned on, do the following
procedure:
1.
Disconnect the printer’s mini-plug cable
from the rear panel of the oscilloscope.
2.
Resolve the cause of error such as “Paper
feed failed”.
3.
Connect the printer’s mini-plug cable to the
rear panel of the oscilloscope.
4.
Perform the print.
If this error correction procedure fails, repeat the
procedure several times.
User Maintenance
Clean the exterior surfaces of the printer with a
dry lint-free cloth. If any dirt remains, use a cloth
dipped in a solution of water and neutral
detergent; squeeze the excess moisture out of
the cloth so that it is only slightly damp.
Then
wipe the exterior surface with a dry soft cloth.
If any foreign objects, such as fragments of
paper or dust are stuck onto the paper holder,
the paper cutter, or the print head, remove the
foreign objects with a thin cotton swab (refer to
Figure 9).
