2.4 INITIAL POWER UP
Before connecting the printer to a power source, verify that the voltage printed on the rear
panel correctly matches the supply.
Plug the printer in and turn the power switch on. The front panel LED should turn green. If this
does not occur, check the power source and if necessary call your service organization.
2.5 FRONT PANEL SWITCH AND STATUS LIGHTS
The front panel switch performs several different functions depending on the printer mode:
2.5.1 NORMAL MODE
The front panel switch (see figure 1) acts as both a paper feed button and a label request
button. If the button is pressed and then released within a half second, the unit will print a label
using the current label format. If the button is held for more than the half second, the unit will
start to feed paper until the button is released.
2.5.2 BATCH MODE
If the printer is in the process of printing a predetermined quantity of labels (see ^D73, section
5.3), pressing the button after the printer has started to print these labels will cause the unit to
pause. Pressing the button again will allow the printer to continue the batch.
