Caution
Always wait at least 2 seconds after turning off the power before turning
it back on.
Do not turn the power off while the printer is printing, as this may cause a
paper jam and adversely affect the printer.
The printer performs a self-diagnosis at start-up to check its hardware and
software. If the printer should find any problems, the display will show
the corresponding message. See “TROUBLESHOOTING” in Chapter 7.
04 SELF TEST
The display shows several messages quickly at start-up. If the printer
detects no errors, it automatically goes on-line and the message changes
to show the current printer status and settings.
