4.6 Print control
Because of the fact that the print module is always in control mode it
is only possible to transmit and not to start print orders by the
available interfaces (serial, parallel, USB or Ethernet). The print is
started by a start signal to the 'print start-control input'. It is necessary
for the control unit to recognise the moment of setting the start signal
and therefore it is possible and also necessary to observe the print
status by the outputs.
4.7 Initiation
Once all connections have been made:

Switch control unit on with the power switch.
After switching on the device the main menu appears which
shows the model type, current date and time.

Insert ribbon cassette (see 5 on page 37).
After loading the transfer ribbon cassette the measuring of
transfer ribbon begins and the printhead is moved to the print
position.
