Chapter 2 The POWER Switch

The Secondary Control Panel is behind the front door assembly below the Primary Control Panel. It consists of UP, DOWN, PREV, and NEXT arrow keys to navigate through the printer configuration menus, and CLEAR, PRT CONFIG, JOB SELECT, and ENTER keys for performing specific functions in the offline mode or within the printer configuration menu.

The POWER Switch

The POWER SWITCH is located on the back panel of the printer, in the bottom left corner. Placing this switch in the ON (1) position applies power to the printer. An illuminated LCD Message Display indicates the printer power is ON.

Powering On The Printer

When you power on the printer, the T4204 executes a self-test. The default power-up state is online. Once the printer has successfully initialized, the ONLINE status indicator light will go on, and the LCD indicates the communication interface selected and the type of emulation installed. The interface is indicated by PARL for parallel and SERL for serial.

If there is a fault during the self-test, the ONLINE status indicator flashes, and a fault message appears on the display. The alarm may also sound, if it is configured to do so.
