As the printer warms up
The Þrst time you turn your printer on, it will take about 20 minutes to warm
up. The printerÕs front panel displays a percentage value to indicate its
progress. The warm-up cycle is complete when the front panel displays
100%.
As the printer initializes, you will hear a series of start-up noises that are
normal and are not an indication of problems with the printer. During
warm-up, the printer outputs a cleaning page as part of its initialization.
The printer is available for printing when it displays Ready or the printerÕs
name.
Turning off the Startup Page
After the printer has warmed up, it automatically prints a Startup Page. If
you want to turn off the Startup Page, you can do so through the front panel.
Refer to ÒFront panel overviewÓ on page 7-1 for instructions on using the
front panel. You can also control the Startup Page through a utility Þle
provided on the printerÕs CD-ROM, or through your World Wide Web
browser. Refer to the CD-ROM or the PhaserShare Network Cards and Software
System Administrator Manual, respectively, for information on utility Þles and
web browsers.
Front panel controls
When you Þrst turn on the printer, the Power and Error indicators on the
front panel are lighted. The printer takes about 20 minutes to completely
warm up. During the warm-up cycle, the
Error indicator goes out, the
Power indicator ßashes, and the front panel displays a series of ÒWarming
upÓ messages.
