Getting Started

1.5Mains Connection and Power On

SConnect the printer to the mains using the power cord. First connect the cable to the power cord socket and then to the mains.

SDo not plug into the same wall outlet other equipment besides the printer such as coffee machines, copy machines, or air conditioners.

SThe power On/Off lever switches the printer‘s power supply ON or OFF.

Note: Press the lever always down.

Since the power cord serves as a safety cut-off, its connection to the printer must be accessible any time.

When switched ON the printer performs an internal self-test which checks the electronics, the print head carriage movement, and the interface. Power ON is indicated by a green LED on the operator panel, the first panel message is

TEST.... .

If the message UNLOCKED - CHECK RIBBON ... is shown, follow the steps in on page paragraph 1.6 Ribbon Installing.

After inserting the ribbon press to continue. When the internal test has been completed successfully the display shows READY 1 ELQ or LOCAL 1 ELQ if data have already been transmitted.

Note: If the display shows anything different please refer to chapter 6 Trouble- shooting and Diagnostics.
