Switching On
Before switching on the printer, make the necessary connections 
and check that the printhead is engaged. 
Switch on the power using the On/Off switch on the rear plate. The 
“Power” 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. 
While the printer is initialized, the progress of the initialization 
is indicated by an increasing number of colons on the lower line 
in the display:

whereas the lower line either shows “Ready” or an error message:
