After a power outage

STARTING AND STOPPING THE SYSTEM

After a power outage

If an unexpected power failure occurs, switch off the printer and all components of the Printer Controller. Switch the components back on only after power is restored. Take the printer offline as soon as possible.

Caution: If you do not switch off all indicated components, a power surge may damage them when power is restored.

If the power fails during printing, the print job is interrupted but not lost. Although data is not lost, you should take the printer offline as soon as possible to prevent data being sent before the printer is ready to receive it.

To restart the system after an unexpected power failure, restart the system as described in the “Powering on the IPS system” section above.

Communicating with the host computer

An IPS is either channel-attached to a host computer or receiving data via TCP/IP over Ethernet or Token Ring. It receives data from the host in online mode. Before data can be sent to the printer, the host operator must issue commands to place the IPS online to the host.

Placing the IPS online

The IPS is placed online when the IPS software is loaded. This software is automatically loaded when the Printer Controller is powered on.

If the printer has been taken offline, select Online from the System

Options menu on the IPS main window.

If the printer does not go online after the system has been booted, contact your service representative.

Taking the IPS offline

Select Offline from the System Options menu on the IPS main window.

The printer continues to print the pages that remain in the buffer.

If you want to resume printing, select Online from the System Options menu on the IPS main window.
