1.5 Mains Connection and Power On
S Connect the printer to the mains using the power cord. First connect the
cable to the power cord socket and then to the mains.
S Do not plug into the same wall outlet other equipment besides the printer
such as coffee machines, copy machines, or air conditioners.
S The power On/Off lever switches the printer‘s power supply ON or OFF.
Note: Press the lever always down.
Since the power cord serves as a safety cut-off, its connection to the
printer must be accessible any time.
When switched ON the printer performs an internal self-test which checks the
electronics, the print head carriage movement, and the interface. Power ON is
indicated by a green LED on the operator panel, the first panel message is
TEST.... .
If the message UNLOCKED - CHECK RIBBON ... is shown, follow the steps in
on page paragraph 1.6 Ribbon Installing.
After inserting the ribbon press to continue. When the internal test has
been completed successfully the display shows READY 1 ELQ or
LOCAL 1 ELQ if data have already been transmitted.
Note: If the display shows anything different please refer to chapter 6 Trouble-
shooting and Diagnostics.
