2. 2Starting and stopping the
This chapter describes how to start and stop your printing system. It
addresses the proper methods of powering the system on and off,
starting and stopping print jobs, shutting down the system, and
dealing with power failures.
When you power on the IPS, it is important to perform all procedures
in the correct order, including some tasks required before powering
on.
Before powering on the system, make sure the following has been
done:
•
The Printer Controller and monitor are connected to dedicated
power receptacles.
•
The printer cable is connected securely to the connector on the
back of the Printer Controller. If the cable is not connected,
make sure the printer and Printer Controller are powered off.
Then connect the cable.
Caution: Do not connect the printer cable to the Printer
Controller when either the Printer Controller or the printer is
powered on; you could destroy the interface card in the Printer
Controller.
•
Press the Power switch on the printer to the On position so that
the printer powers on automatically when the Printer Controller
is powered on. The Printer Controller automatically boots the
IPS software when it is powered on.
•
Make sure all feeder trays are in Ready position: closed, with
adequate paper loaded. Otherwise the IPS cannot initialize, and
it reports "Not ready" to the host.
If this occurs, correct the tray condition, then reboot the
workstation. (Refer to "Rebooting the Printer Controller," later in
this chapter.)
•
Always allow at least ten seconds between powering off the
printer and powering it back on again. This pause prevents
possible damage to the sensitive components in the processor.
