General Flowchart Description
Initialization
After a hardware reset, the following steps are performed:
- The system verifies if there is a mechanism error or an auto-cutter error
- The panel key is verified
- Final error verification
Self Test, Dump Mode & Run-In
If the paper feed key is kept pressed during the printer startup, a message is printed asking the user to
wait for self-test or choose dump mode.
If the paper feed key is pressed once the printer enters Dump-Mode. If the paper feed key is pressed
twice the printer will begin a run-in test. If the paper-feed key isn’t pressed after startup state the printer
will print a self-test. After a Run-In or Self-Test the error and paper LEDs will blink two times. If the key isn’t
pressed after startup the system will run idle mode and is ready for printing.
Error Detection
- In case of mechanism error, the error led will blink 8 times
- In case of cutter error, the error led will blink 12 times
- In case of power error, the error led will blink 11 times
- In case of head temperature error, the error led will blink 15 times*
- In case of Presenter Jam error, the error led will blink 16 times
*The system will recover from this error condition, if the temperature falls into the specified operating
range
