Notes on the printer status
ONLINE
This status exists after an error- free initializing operation. In this status the re-
ceiving channel is open. The printer is ready to receive and execute jobs. There
is a response only with requested data or special printer messages which have
no influence on the current processing of print data.
STOP
This status signals an operation interruption. The following causes lead to this
operation interruption:
– Pressing the STOP key in the ONLINE status
– Opening the printing unit in the ONLINE status
– Document request, i. e. a job which requires the insertion of a new form,
whereby at this time no sheet is inserted (inserting a new sheet restores the
ONLINE status)
In the first two cases, the computer is only informed of the status change via a
global printer status (GPS). For document request, the reason for the status
change is identified more exactly via a special printer message (SPM).
In each case, the STOP status can only be cleared by means of manual inter-
vention on the printer. No data is lost as a result of these operation interruptions.
