By observing the color changes and blinking patterns of the printer's status indicator light, users can quickly identify the current operating state of the printer, such as idle, preparing, printing, or error. The status indicator light serves as the printer's "visual language," providing intuitive feedback without the need to check the screen.
¶ Idle Status
- Behavior: White light breathing slowly (when screen is on) or lights off (when screen is in sleep mode)
- Explanation: The printer is in an idle standby state and is not performing any tasks.
¶ Preparing for Task
- Behavior****: Orange light scrolling flow
- Explanation****: The printer is preparing for the print job, including task uploading, filament loading, auto-leveling, nozzle heating, and other pre-print operations.
¶ Task in Progress
- Behavior: White indicator light shows progress bar
- Explanation: The print job is in progress. The indicator light dynamically displays the current print progress, helping users visually track the task.
¶ Error State
- Behavior: Red light flashing twice rapidly (double flash)
- Explanation: An error has occurred during printing. The red light will keep double flashing until the error popup is dismissed by the user.
¶ Task Completed
- Behavior: Green light stays on continuously
- Explanation: The print job has completed successfully. The status light will remain solid green until the "Print Finished" message is closed on screen or there is a door status change (such as opening the front door, top cover, or side panels).
