All alarms go off; 1 of 6 alarms has a flashing green light

The constant green LED means the alarm has AC power.
A flashing green light every 2 seconds without an audible alert means the unit recently sounded ( was the one activated ) and is now in latching mode to let you know that it was the unit that detected the problem. To clear the latching mode hold down the test button for 5 seconds.
Red LED flashing once per minute means that the back-up battery is connected and functioning.
Red light flashing constantly during alarm means that it is the unit that initiated the alarm siren.

The printer does a longer green flash and then the amber flashes. you need to tell me how many flashes between the green flashes, to know what the problem is.
