Definition

Green LED blinking (4 Blinks, Pause 5 seconds)

The paper is low.

There are approximately 4.5 ± 3 meters, (15 ±10 feet) of paper remaining on the roll. Change the paper as soon as possible to avoid running out half way through a transaction. Depending on the application, the host computer may alert you when the paper is low.

Amber LED blinking (4 Blinks, Pause 5 seconds)

The paper is out.

Change the paper immediately or data may be lost.

Caution

Do not operate the printer or host computer if the printer runs out of paper. The printer will not operate without paper, but it may continue to accept data from the host computer. Because the printer cannot print any transactions, the data may be lost.

Important

For proper Paper Low detection, set the Receipt Direction option to match the physical orientation of the printer with either Front Exit (default) or Top Exit. If using OPOS/JavaPOS, there is a Profile setting that controls this configuration. If not using OPOS/JavaPOS, configure it at the printer firmware.
