Ready-to-Work™ Indicator
The blue Ready-to-Work LED is lit when the printer is
operational. It can be turned off or flash in case something is not
working as expected.
Ready-to-Work LED Flashing or Off
The Ready-to-Work indicator is set to flash when the printer is
receiving data, as well as under several different error conditions.
Normally, this is due to an IP link error, where the printer has a
network card but has not yet received an IP number. Other
causes may be that the printhead is lifted, or the media is loaded
incorrectly. The Ready-to-Work LED will be turned off if the
printhead temperature is too high. An error diagnosis can be
obtained with the command
SYSHEALTH$. Enter the line PRINT
SYSHEALTH$ through a terminal connection to receive the
printer’s Ready-to-Work status.
