Sensing and Error Reporting
The KR203 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. See Table 7-1, Application LED States on page 67 for error codes.
• The printer monitors the printhead, cutter, and a variety of internal main board
functions.
• The printer also monitors the media position via IR sensors that can be used to
detect some issues with motors.
Manual Printer Reset
The KR203 printer does not have a power switch or reset button. To manually reset the
printer, disconnect the 24 VDC power from the printer. Wait a few seconds for the Power
LED to turn off and reconnect the power plug. The printer will reboot and initialize.
Ideally, the printer power should be connected to a dedicated switch to prevent removing
other cables when disconnecting power. Additionally, when certain accessories are
installed, and because of the proximity of other receptacles, having a dedicated power
switch to the printer will prevent reattaching the power to the incorrect receptacle on the
printer.
