error indicator.
The green POWER indicator light is the power indicator, and the POWER
indicator light is on to indicate that the printer has been turned on.
The red PAPER indicator is the paper status indicator, and when the indicator
is on, the printer is out of paper.
The red ERROR indicator light is an error status indicator, and the indicator
light is always on to indicate an error status, such as opening the cover. For
details, refer to “Error Indication Table”
ERROR is a red/blue dual-color indicator light, used to remind error
status/incoming order detection. When the printer is working normally, the red
ERROR indicator light is off. The indicator light flashes as an abnormal alarm
state. When the indicator light stays on, it means not printing The paper

The error indication is as follows
①Non-recoverable error, the indicator flickers several times, then persistent
lighting.
The times of flickering means the error type,
ERROR Type | ERROR Description | ERROR Indicator Flickering Type |
---|
Non-recoverable
error| LED Flickers once:Internal memory reading and writing error|
LED Flickers twice:over-voltage|
LED Flickers three times:under-voltage|
LED Flickers four times: CPU execution error (wrong address)|
LED Flickers five times: UIB error|
LED Flickers six times: FLASH writing error|
LED Flickers seven times: parameter writing error|
LED Flickers eight times: Temperature testing circuit error|
②Recoverable error, indicator flickers constantly, then persistent off for one period.
ERROR Type | ERROR Description | ERROR Indicator Flickering Type |
---|---|---|
Recoverable error | LED Flickers once:Cutter position error |
③Auto-recoverable error, indicator flickers constantly, including printing head over-heat error and upper case cover opening error during printing.
