LED indicators and the Print Button
The PD41 printer can be in the following “states”, which indicate
its current mode of operation.
LED indicators
The four LED indicators will be turned on, off or flash
depending on which state the printer is in. The Power LED will
always be lit for all states except Power Off.
The blue Ready-to-Work LED shows the operational status of the
printer. In simple terms, it is lit when the printer is operational.
When the Ready-to-Work indicator is turned off, or flashes, it
indicates that the printer is not fully operational. There are a
number of conditions that can cause this behaviour; refer to
Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting” for a detailed explanation. It can
also flash when in Testmode or Extended Testmode, see
“Running Testmode” in Chapter 5.
The red Error LED will be lit or flash when an error condition
has occured. This will also cause the Ready-to-Work LED to flash
or turn off.
