Testing The Printer; Plugging In The Printer - Epson LQ-1050 User Manual

Testing the Printer

Now that your printer is fully assembled, you can use its built-in
self test function to see that the printer is working correctly before
you connect it to a computer. You should perform this test to make
sure that your printer was not damaged during shipping and that
the ribbon is correctly installed.
Before running the self test, you need to connect the printer to an
electrical outlet and load a sheet of paper.

Plugging in the Printer

1. Make sure that the printer is turned off.
2. Plug the power cable into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
