Operating State
Offline Mode
Printer settings can be made when the device is offline. The offline mode is
normally active when the printer is switched on. Print jobs are received, but
not processed, via the selected interface.
¯ To adjust the printer so that it goes online directly after you have switched
it on, set the following parameter to Online:
SYSTEM PARAMETER > Turn-on mode
Online Mode In the online mode, print jobs are received and processed immediately.
¯ To stop printing, press the online button.
Message Mode The printer uses the message mode to signal an error or a particular opera-
ting 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 pro-
cess).
The messages shown in Table 3 occur when e.g. the printer is set for using
labelling material with perforation, but continuous form material without per-
foration is inserted. In this example, the printer will continue to feed the ma-
terial for a few seconds before it finally sends an error message.
