WARNING: Do not use the power cord if it is visibly damaged. Disconnect the
power cord by pulling the plug, not the cable.
1. Plug the female end of the AC power cord into the receptacle, located in the power
entry module on the printer’s rear panel.
2. Plug the male end of the AC power cord into a properly grounded wall socket.
3. Power on the printer by pressing the “I” side of the ON/OFF rocker switch located on the
power entry module on the rear panel.
4. The touch screen will activate and the initialization process will begin. Depending on
whether there is media loaded or not, the process will be different. When there is no
media loaded, the DC5(sx) will prompt the user for a media load procedure. When
media is loaded, the DC5(sx) will measure the media width and check the presence of
the cassettes and estimate how much usable ribbon is remaining on the roll.
