(Power) LED: Green
•Lights when the power is on.
•Off when the power is off.
•Flashes when the printer is operating (initializing, charging ink, head cleaning, or printing) or
in an error state.
Before turning off the printer, wait more than 10 seconds (so that the print head cap closes)

ERROR LED: Red
•Lights or flashes when the printer is offline.
•Off during normal operation (online).
17
INK LED: Red
•Flashes when the ink is low or waste ink in the ink cartridge is nearly full.
•Lights when it is time to replace the ink cartridge, when the ink cartridge is not installed or is
not correctly installed, and when waste ink in the ink cartridge is full.
•Off when ink in the ink cartridge is adequate.
PAPER OUT LED: Red
•Lights when the remaining roll paper is near the end (ERROR LED is off), the paper is not
installed or is not correctly installed (ERROR LED is on).
•Off when the paper is correctly installed.
The printer status is also displayed with combinations of lighting and flashing of LEDs. See
"Status/Error Indications" on page 21 for details.
CLEANING button
When the printout is faint or dots are missing, pressing this button for 3 seconds or more
performs print head cleaning.
To prevent ink waste, do not press the CLEANING button unless there is a problem with
print quality.
FEED button
Feeds the roll paper. After feeding, autocutting is automatically performed.
The paper is fed 41.4 mm if the FEED button is pressed once.
If the FEED button is held down, the paper is continuously fed until the button is released.

Creating the graphic data for barcode
If you want to create graphic data for barcodes, create data which meet the following conditions.
Use black as the print color of the barcode on blank paper (not pre-printed).
Barcode data should be created at 180 dpi 180 dpi. At other resolutions, the barcode
reader may return errors.
Because of the characteristics of the ink, it may penetrate the paper, and bars of printed
bar codes may become thicker. This depends on the paper. Users can maintain the bar
code recognition rate by methods such as ± 1 correction, reducing the data in a bar by
one pixel (180 dpi) and increasing the blank space by one pixel (180 dpi).
