Operating Modes
Offline Mode

active when the printer is turned on. Print jobs are received with the selected
interface, but not processed.
¯ To configure the printer so it goes online when turned on, set the following
parameter to Online:
SYSTEM PARAMETER > Turn-on mode
Online Mode In online mode, print jobs are received and processed immediately.
¯ To stop printing, press Online.
Message Mode The printer uses the message mode to signal an error or a particular
operating status. Message mode indicates that the printer is waiting to quit or
for a fault to be corrected. When exiting, the printer switches from message
mode to offline mode (depending on the error and the progress of the
previous process).
The messages shown in Table 3 occur when the printer is set for using
labelling material with perforation, but continuous form material without
perforation is loaded. The printer continues to feed the material for a few
seconds before it generates an error message.
P Refer to the “Error Messages” section on your CD-ROM for more information
on message reports and a detailed list of all messages.
