Printer Overview
Sensing, Status and Error Reporting
9/24/2010 KR403 Hardware Integrator Guide P1016701-001 Rev. B
Status Indicator
Immediately after power is applied to the printer, a brief self test is performed and the
status light will report the status of the printer.
Status conditions are reset and rechecked when:
• The conditions causing them are removed
• The printer has power removed and reapplied.
• The printhead is opened or closed.
Refer to Table 7-1, “Application LED States,” on page 87 for condition descriptions.
Sensing, Status and Error Reporting
The KR403 has sensing and error reporting capability available to the printer for internal
process control, status reporting to the host and custom printer software development by
the software integrator. Many of these features and functions are supported directly by the
Windows Driver and Zebra Designer via the driver.
• The printer monitors the printhead, motors, cutter and a variety of internal main board
functions.
• The KR403 printer has virtual sensors and error flags’ that use combinations of
sensors and status flags to create additional error reporting flags to simplify the
software integrators task of monitoring the printer.
• The KR403 printer also has an odometer for maintenance alerts for printhead cleaning
and printhead low life warning (printhead will need replacement soon). This feature is
off by default.
• The KR403 printer also does power-up printhead testing, printhead critical fault testing
for safety and has a programming accessible printhead pixel test that reports the
functionality of individual pixels. This feature is off by default.
