12. Close the printhead by pressing down on both sides of the pivoting deck
and rotating the deck lock lever fully counterclockwise.
IMPORTANT
Ensure the pivoting deck is down and locked before attempting to
advance media or print. Failure to do so will cause the "PRINTHEAD UP"
fault message to display.
13. Verify that Print Mode in the Printer Configuration Menu is set for the
media type installed (Direct or Transfer). The Print Mode submenu is
located in the MEDIA CONTROL menu. See "Main Menu" on page 79 for
details.

and go to step 14.
For thermal transfer operation (which uses a ribbon) complete the ribbon
loading procedure (see "Loading Ribbon" on page 45).
14. Press the FEED key once to verify that the media advances.
15. Press the PAUSE key to place the printer online. The printer is now ready
