Power On the Printer

Following are instructions for powering on the printer after you have installed
the ribbon and loaded paper.
1. When you start this procedure, verify that paper and ribbon are installed,
the forms thickness lever is lowered, and the tractor doors are closed.
This prevents a "LOAD PAPER" or "CLOSE PLATEN" error message
from displaying after the printer is powered on.
2. Set the power switch to the ON position (Figure 36). The printer initializes
and runs several self-tests. The messages "TESTING HARDWARE /
PLEASE WAIT" and "DIAGNOSTICS / PASSED" will each display briefly.
When the self-tests complete and the software has initialized
successfully, the message "ONLINE / LG" appears on the message
display.
If the status indicator flashes and a fault message displays, this indicates
a fault condition; refer to the fault messages section in Chapter 6,
"Routine Service and Diagnostics."
