Overview: The green LED on the back of the D9131A gives indication of the units operation. The green LED will flash a series of rapid blinks when it sends data to the printer. When it blinks for about a half second on and then off, it is buffering data but is not seeing the printer. When this happens, the printer should be checked for proper operation. Check paper, on-line status and connections. If the green LED is off, the D9131A is idle and has no data to transfer.

- SDI-B -panel terminal 30
- Verify programming and D9131A addressing
- D9131A switch 1 & 2 on = Printer 17
- D9131A switch 1 off, 2 on = Printer 18
- D9131A switch 1 on, 2 off = Printer 19
