Green
LED

Yellow LED

LED ON OFF Blinking
Yellow Full Duplex Mode Half Duplex Mode NA

Green Active Ethernet Link NA Receiving/Transmitting data

printer into the Docking Module until you hear a click.

Power LED

The green power LED on the 6054 Network Control
Module turns on when there is power to it.

Charging time can take up to three hours. It takes
approximately 1 hour to reac h the 80% level (where it is
now usable). To reach 100%, it takes approximately 2
hours more.

Reading the Display

 Charging LED – flashes when you insert the printer;

on (solid) during charging; off wh en charging is
complete.

 Complete LED – flashes when the print er’s battery is

80% charged; on (solid) when the battery is 100%
charged.

Note: The Charging and Complete LEDs are ON

continuously when updating the printer’s
firmware while on the Docking Module. Do not
remove the printer or disconnect power to the
Docking Module at this time.

Troubleshooting

When an error occurs, the Charging and Complete LEDs
blink together. In this case, repea t the charging process.
If the error still occurs, put a new battery into the printer
and place the printer back i nto the charger. If there is a
problem after the second att empt to charge, call Service.

In between charges, remove the printer, wa it for the
lights to stop flashing, then re-insert the printer.

If you experience communication problems whi le
charging, check the Ethernet LEDs. See “Reading the
Ethernet LEDs” for more information.
