STANDARD PRINTER COMMANDS

(lowercase letter O) Out of ribbon or

ribbon stalled. (Only reported by TT

printers capable of detecting a stalled

ribbon.) The printer sends this message

eight times per second if it runs out of

ribbon and USER_FEEDBACK is ON.

Printing in process, or printer paused

during batch mode processing.

Serial port communications error.

Printhead Up. The printhead is not fully

closed.

Waiting. The printer is paused during a

batch printing operation.

The printer sends a five digit number after each

letter. If the leading letter is a C (indicating the

battery is charging), the number following the C is

proportional to the battery charge state. If the

leading letter is an E (indicating an EEPROM

error), the number following the E is the EEPROM

checksum. In all other cases, the five digit number

shows the quantity of unprinted labels in the

current batch.

E messages have two parts. The first part begins

with an E and is followed by the calculated

checksum. The second part begins with an E and is

followed by the stored checksum.

NOTE: If the printer detects an EEPROM error, it will

automatically load the nonvolatile RAM with default

values. The printer may work, but print quality may be

degraded. Contact your service technician when an

EEPROM error occurs.
