  If the LCD on your Domino Printer is not working, check the following: * Ensure the control unit power cable from the base unit is correctly plugged in. Turn off the mains power before checking the interconnections. * Check the mains fuse in the plug and replace it if it's blown. * Make sure the mains power cable is correctly attached to the base unit. Turn off the mains power first, then refit the cable, ensuring it's in the correct position. * Verify that the base unit power is switched on. The On/Off switch at the top of the base unit should be illuminated.
