Thermal Commands - Printronix t8000 Administrator's Manual

NOTE:
After selecting the Optimize & Reboot function, do not shut off the printer's power until after the
printer returns to the power-on state. Loss of power during the optimize process may corrupt
the printer's program. If this occurs, first attempt to repeat the downloading process. If that
fails, contact an authorized service representative.
