Star Micronics 8III Printer User Manual


 
STATUS MESSAGES
Status messages are low priority messages that either indicate normal
conditions or provide warnings that need not be acted upon immediately.
These conditions should not occur when the printer is on line. If they do,
however, the alarm will beep and the printer will go off line. For some
conditions however, there is the possibility of a condition occurring when
the printer is on line. If it does, the alann will not sound and the printer will
remain on line.
