Printing Your First Document

Your printer should be set up and connected to your computer. This section explains how to test your installation setup by printing a trial document from an application program under Windows. To test the printer alone, without your computer, you can use the status report printing which does not require the use of a computer. See Printing a Status Repor in Chapter 2.

Turn on your printer and observe the initialization sequence. If no RAM (extra memory) cards have been installed, the sequence lasts about one minute, during which the following events occur:

•The printer conducts a number of self-checks.

•The main motor rotates to check mechanical functions and clean the drum.

•The message display indicates READY, indicating the printer is ready for printing.
