Testing the Printer

When you power on the SureMark printer, it runs a power-on self-test (POST). If the
POST finds no errors, the printer is ready for operation. Follow this procedure to
determine if there are errors.

Note: Never connect or disconnect the printer when power is applied (when LEDs

are on).

1. If the printer is powered on, power off the printer and power it on again.

v If the printer is attached to the system with the RS-232 cable or the standard

USB cable with a power brick, disconnect the power cord, then reconnect the
power cord to a properly wired and grounded power source.

v If the printer is attached to the system with the RS-485 cable, power off the

POS system, and then power on the system, which also powers on the
printer.

v If the printer is attached to the system with a powered USB cable, the

USB-attached printer can be hot-plugged.
