Phaser 240 Color Printer
When you turn on the printer, it executes a series of self-tests to determine if
there are any problems. After running self-tests, the printer prints a startup
page, if the startup page is enabled (factory default). After running self-tests
and printing the startup page, the printer is ready for operation. The entire
power-up sequence can last from 1 to 3 minutes, depending on the type of
transfer roll installed and whether the startup page is enabled. The next few
topics describe the printer's power-up sequence in detail.
Front panel at power-up
All indicators light briefly and immediately go out, except POWER and
READY, which remain on for about 10 seconds. Then the READY indicator
blinks while the POWER indicator remains on and the self-tests are run.
When both POWER and READY are on steady (not blinking), the self-tests
are complete.
When a standard transfer roll is more than 75 percent used up, the front-panel
RIBBON indicator lights, reminding you that it is time to order a new
transfer roll.
When you install the sample transfer roll supplied with the printer, the
RIBBON indicator may light as soon as you install it, or after you make a
few prints. This is because the sample transfer roll contains a limited number
of prints.
For complete information on the front-panel indicator lights, refer to “Front
panel” on page 7-1.
