Overview

Operating Modes

The printer has three operating modes: online mode, offline mode, and fault
mode.

Online Mode. When the printer is online, it is controlled by the host
computer and prints data sent by the host computer.

Offline Mode. In offline mode, communication with the host is interrupted
so that you can load paper, change ribbons, or test and configure the
printer.

Fault Mode. When the printer is in fault mode, it has encountered an
error condition, and printing stops until the error condition is cleared.
