Out of ribbon

The heap (dynamic memory pool) is corrupt. This is a serious error which can not be

corrected. The only remedy is to power the printer off and on to restart the program.

Stopped on label gap

The last print or paper feed cycle stopped on a label gap, i. e. the paper is now

synchronised, if label stock is installed in the printer. If continuous stock is installed this flag will

never be set.

Print incomplete

The last print cycle was interrupted before printing was complete, either because a label

gap occurred or because the printer has run out of paper. This means that some information

may be missing from the printout.

Cool down state

When printing large batches using layouts with a large amount of blackness and/or the

printer is located in an environment with temperatures above room temperature, the system

temperature of the printer might after a while be too high to continue normal operation. If so,

the printer will enter a cool down state, which is indicated by this status flag. The LED will be

flashing with a red light and the internal fan will run at maximum speed until temperature has

decreased to operational level. Printing will then continue as normal, no sent information will

be lost.

Last paper movement type

This flag is set when the forward paper feed command is executed, i. e. a

!K

command

with positive feed length. All other paper movements will reset the flag (by the print button or

on command from the host).
