Printing
with Your
Color Sign
Printer
A. Interpreting
the LED
Indicator Lights
The Color Sign Printer communicates several
different print conditions through the cancel and
on-line LED indicator lights on the printerÕs front
panel. It is very important that you understand
what the various LED sequences mean in order to
effectively operate the printer. Please refer to the
following for an explanation of each LED
sequence.
■
Both the cancel and on-line LEDÕs are solid.
This indicates that either the printer is ready to
receive a print job or that it is in the middle of
printing and experiencing no problems.
■
The cancel and on-line LEDÕs are alternately
flashing.
This LED sequence only occurs when printing
with spot-color resin ribbons. This sequence
indicates that the printer has received print
information and is ready to print. While the
printer is in this mode, you can open the
printerÕs cover to check that you have the
appropriate resin ribbon installed or to switch
resin ribbon colors. Do not open the cover of the
printer or switch ribbons during any other LED
sequence if in the middle of a print job! With the
cover closed, press the cancel button to advance
the ribbon (if necessary). Press the on-line
button to begin printing with the currently
installed ribbon.
■
Both the cancel and on-line LEDÕs are flashing
simultaneously.
This LED sequence only occurs when the
Monochr
ome Resin ribbon type option is
selected and you are printing multiple copies
of
a single-spot-color sign. This sequence indicates
that the printer is receiving additional print data
during this very specific type of print job. When
this sequence occurs, the printer is giving you
two choices: 1. You can continue to print on the
sheet of vinyl currently in the printer by
pressing the on-line button. ÑorÑ 2. You can
eject the current sheet of vinyl and begin
printing on a new sheet by pressing the cancel
button. Once you have made your choice and
have pressed the appropriate button, the printer
will then switch to the alternately flashing LED
sequence. This indicates that the printer is now
ready to print the data it is receiving.
