Powering Up

The power switch is located on the back of the printer, just above the 3-prong power plug connector.

Figure 1 - 4. Power plug and on/off switch

Step 1.

Make sure the power is off by depressing the "0" side of the rocker power switch. Connect the power cord. Plug the power cord into a proper power outlet.

Step 2.

Turn the power on.

The printer runs a self-test each time it is powered up to check the main processor and buffers for errors. Note that when you turn the printer on this time, the Paper Out error displays. If any error message appears in the display, check Appendix A for a description of the error and what actions are necessary to clear the error.
