Initial Printer Power-Up
Each time you turn the printer on, it automatically performs a self-test
called the Power-On Self Test (POST).
Turn the printer on now by pressing the Power Switch at the rear of the
printer. The Front Panel Power-On indicator will light up. The other front
panel indicator lights and the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitor the
progress of the Power-On Self Test (POST). The self test sequence is shown
in Table 4.
The POST prompts are in English unless an error occurs, in which case the
display cycles through all available languages repeatedly. However, you
may change the display language for all other prompts. Refer to “Selecting
the Display Language” on page 49.
Note: If the printer fails any of these tests, the word “ ” will be added to the
display. If this occurs, refer to the Troubleshooting section (starting on
page 63).
If loading the printer with media and ribbon for the first time, or changing
the type of media, perform the Calibration on page 38.
