9.1Power-related Problems
•The power indicator does not come on when power is switched on.
•Check that the power cord and plug are securely fitted to the printer and to an electrical outlet.
•Ask for the power connector connections to be verified.
•Ask for the building electrical supply to be verified.
9.2Uncompleted Power On
After you powered on the printer, the printhead does not return to the left edge, which means the printer did not finish the internal self test.
•Check whether the component used to protect the printhead and the sponge have been removed or not.
•Check if there is any object which is blocking the motor.
•Check whether the top cover is closed or not.
•Restart the printer to try again.
•Check whether the printhead moves smoothly or not.
•Check whether the ribbon box is settled correctly or not.
