DANGER

To avoid a shock hazard, do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform installation, maintenance, or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm.

DANGER

To avoid shock hazard:

The power cord must be connected to a properly wired and earthed receptacle.

Any equipment to which this product will be attached must also be connected to properly wired receptacles.

Note: For translations of these safety notices, see IBM Safety Information — Read This First, GA27–4004.

Testing the Printer

 

When you power on the SureMark printer, it runs a power-on self-test (POST). If the

 

POST finds no errors, the printer is ready for operation. Follow this procedure to

 

determine if there are errors.

 

Note: Never connect or disconnect the printer when power is applied (when LEDs

 

are on).

 

1. If the printer is powered on, power off the printer and power it on again.

v If the printer is attached to the system with the RS-232 cable or the standard

USB cable with a power brick, disconnect the power cord, then reconnect the

power cord to a properly wired and grounded power source.

 

v If the printer is attached to the system with the RS-485 cable, power off the

 

POS system, and then power on the system, which also powers on the

 

printer.

v If the printer is attached to the system with a powered USB cable, the

USB-attached printer can be hot-plugged.
