Initial Printer Power-Up

Each time you turn the printer on, it automatically performs a self-test
called the Power-On Self Test (POST).

Turn the printer on now by pressing the Power Switch at the rear of the
printer. The Front Panel Power-On indicator will light up. The other front
panel indicator lights and the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitor the
progress of the Power-On Self Test (POST). The self test sequence is shown
in Table 4.

The POST prompts are in English unless an error occurs, in which case the
display cycles through all available languages repeatedly. However, you
may change the display language for all other prompts. Refer to “Selecting
the Display Language” on page 45.

NOTE: If the printer fails any of these tests, the word “FAILED” will be

added to the display. If this occurs, refer to the Troubleshooting
and Diagnostics section (starting on page 59).

If loading the printer with media and ribbon for the first time, or changing
the type of media, perform the Calibration procedure on page 36.
