Powering On The Printer

When you power on the printer, it executes a self-test. The default power-up state is online. When the self-test completes and the software has initialized successfully, the status indicator light turns on, indicating the printer is online. The default value of the type of emulation you have installed appears upper right corner of the display. The ribbon life remaining is shown on the second line.

If there is a fault during the self-test, the status indicator flashes and a specific fault message appears on the display (such as “LOAD PAPER”). The alarm also sounds if it is configured to do so.

See “ LCD Message Troubleshooting Table” on page 317 for information on fault messages and solutions.
