at Startup
Do not start the printer before you have made the necessary
connections, inserted any memory card you want to use, and
checked that the printhead is lowered and an optional cutter is
in closed position.
Switch on the power by means of the On/Off switch on the rear plate.
The “Power” LED control lamp on the front panel lights up when
the power is on. Wait for a few moments, while the printer loads the
program and runs some self-diagnostic tests. If the printer is fi tted
with a cutter, it will rotate to home position. Finally, some kind of
message will appear in the display window.
After starting up the printer for the fi rst time, keep the power on
overnight to charge the memory backup battery.
The type of startup file running in the printer is indicated by
the message shown in the display window immediately after
startup.
