Note:  See “Setting Switches” earlier in this book for instructions on setting the DIP 
switches.  
1.  Connect the power supply to the printer and turn on the power source.  
The printer goes through a self-test routine to ensure everything is working properly 
then “beeps.” After the printer has completed its “startup” cycle, it is ready to receive 
data. 
If the LED blinks, or the host computer indicates that there is a problem, see “Chapter 
3: Solving Problems” for more information. 
2.  To perform a Configuration check (optional), reset the printer while holding the Paper 
Feed Button, or open the receipt door and while pressing the paper feed button close 
the receipt door, let go of the Paper Feed Button once the printing begins.  
Note:  The printer receives power when the power supply is on even if the printer is off-
line. To completely remove power, unplug the power supply from the outlet, or turn the 
POS terminal off.
