Tektronix 240 user manual Front panel at power-up

2Getting Set Up

When you turn on the printer, it executes a series of self-tests to determine if there are any problems. After running self-tests, the printer prints a startup page, if the startup page is enabled (factory default). After running self-tests and printing the startup page, the printer is ready for operation. The entire power-up sequence can last from 1 to 3 minutes, depending on the type of transfer roll installed and whether the startup page is enabled. The next few topics describe the printer's power-up sequence in detail.

All indicators light briefly and immediately go out, except POWER and READY, which remain on for about 10 seconds. Then the READY indicator blinks while the POWER indicator remains on and the self-tests are run. When both POWER and READY are on steady (not blinking), the self-tests are complete.

When a standard transfer roll is more than 75 percent used up, the front-panel RIBBON indicator lights, reminding you that it is time to order a new transfer roll.

When you install the sample transfer roll supplied with the printer, the RIBBON indicator may light as soon as you install it, or after you make a few prints. This is because the sample transfer roll contains a limited number of prints.

For complete information on the front-panel indicator lights, refer to “Front panel” on page 7-1.
