LED STATUS PANEL SUPPLEMENT

Some printers have an LED panel that is used to display the present status of the printer. The panel usually

contains the following LED's: Ready, Data, Paper Jam and Check Stock. The LED will stay on as long as that

status remains valid. Additional, error status conditions can be indicated by flashing or flickering the LED panel.

The flashing LED's usually last for about 3 seconds and then the printer tries to resume normal operation. If the

LED’s are flickering constantly, then the error is non-recoverable without operator intervention. Sometimes the

operator can fix the problem and then resume operation by pressing the test button (thereby not losing any

stored ticket data). However, most flickering errors require that the printer be reset in order to recover from the

error. Note: the display will often show the error message along with the LED’s.

The table below shows the different flashing error status patterns.
