The LEDs turn on and off after the printer is turned on, then all

• Font ROM/Microcode Sum Test - Checks that the ROM data is
correct.

• NVRAM Test - Checks that the NVRAM data is correct.
• Switch Scan Test - Checks the buttons on operator panel.
• Carrier Initialization - Carrier moves to the left to activate the
home position sensor, then moves to the first print position.

backward.
If any errors occur during the POST tests, a combination of blinking
LEDs indicates which test failed. See “Start” on page 2-1.
