Power on 

When all the above cable connections are made correctly, 

you may connect your power adaptor to the wall outlet. Make 
sure that the type of power cord and the voltage requirement of 
the power adaptor meet the local power conditions. Now the 
printer is ready for power on. 

6. 

Self test 

Press and hold down the feed button while turning the 

power switch on. The printer will then perform a self  test. A 
sample slip of self test result is printed below. Please note that 
both serial and parallel interfaces are indicated. That means the 
printer is working on an auto-sensing and auto-select algorithm.
