2.5 Indicators,buzzer, buttons and lock

There are two buttons and two indicators for RME5A. Note:The following descriptions of the buzzer, buttons and locks are only for devices with their optional features.
SETis setting button, SETis used for setting some simple parameters of the printer.
FEEDis paper feeding button,Print command can be used to enable or disable the button switch function, in the allowed button control state, pressFEEDbutton, the printer will feed paper, loose FEED button, then stop.
The lock it used to lock button and paper cover, When the printer is locked, the paper cover will be opened normally, and all the button will not be operated;
The buzzer can indicate the error and cutter status. Through parameters setting, the buzzer can be set into error alarm, paper-cut indicating or both above. The types of error status are same as ERROR indicator.

The green POWER light is the power indicator. POWER indicator lighting means the printer is power on.

The red ERROR light is error status indicator. It is off when the printer works normally; while it flashes or persistently lights when the printer has abnormal alarm. If ERROR indicator flashes or persistent lights and the buzzer sounds, it means the printer has error.

According to different flashing types, the different errors of printer are indicated: 1. Unrecoverable error: the times of indicator flashing and buzzer sound
indicate the error type, then indicator persistently light. 2. Recoverable error: the times of indicator flashing and buzzer sound indicate
the error type, then indicator is persistently off. 3. Automatically recoverable error: the indicator flashes and the buzzer
sounds continuously. 4. Paper out: the indicator lights and the buzzer sounds persistently.

The details are as below: 1 Unrecoverable error, the indicator flashes several times, then persistently
lights. Then cycle. The times of flashing means the error type.

2.6 Turn on the printer
When the printer is off and paper case cover is closed, press the POWER button to turn on the printer and the ERROR indicator flashes twice, then indicator off. The printer enters into the normal working mode.
2.7 Self test
The self-test will check the condition of printer, if the printer prints out the self-test receipt correctly, it means the printer works normally except interface with host. Otherwise it needs to repair.
Self-test method: In the off state, [paper cover] closes and ensures that the printer has paper, press and hold the [FEED] button and turn on the power.
At this time, the red indicator will flash at the frequency of 1s flashing, and the [FEED] button will be released within 3 times of the indicator flashing.
The printer will prints a self-check receipt. Self-test can detect whether the printer is working properly, if it can print out the self-test spline correctly, then means except for the interface with the host, the printer is all normal, otherwise it needs to be overhaul.
2.8 Hexadecimal Printing
Turn on the printer according to the step below, it will enter the mode of Hexadecimal Printing:
In the off state, when the [paper cover] is open, press and hold the [FEED] button, power on, close the paper cover
The printer will print out 3 lines as below: Hexadecimal Dump To terminate hexadecimal dump, Press FEED button three times.
This means the printer has entered hexadecimal printing mode, and under this mode,all of the input will be printed out as hexadecimal number. Paper will feed one
14

line with single-click of "FEED" button, after 3 times, it will print out "*** Completed ***", and exit hexadecimal printing mode.
2.9 Setup of printer parameter
This function is for the setup of parameters. Steps for setting parameters: Power off, pressSETbutton and power on, release SETafter error indicator light flickers, press FEED twice, press SETonce again, printer will enter into parameter setup mode. Printer will print the first parameter which can be set and its current setup; Details can be checked on attached Appendix A. Steps for exiting of parameter setup: Press SET button andFEED button at the same time to save the setup of parameter and exit, the printer will enter into normal mode. If power off directly, parameters will not be saves.
2.10 Entering program upgrading mode
When printer powers off, pressFEED and SETbuttons, power on and release the buttons. Printer will enter into upgrading mode, status indicator light will flicker every one second.
APPENDIX A: Parameters Setting
This appendix is the method of setting default parameters of printer by buttons. Setting instruction: Using SET button to choose setting item. Pressing this button once, the setting item will go to the next and also print out the current value of this item. Using FEEDbutton to choose the setting value of item. Press the button once, the setting value will go to the next.
