Diagnostics and Configuration
The printer performs a number of diagnostics that provide useful information about the operating
status of the printer. The following diagnostic tests are available.
Start-up diagnostics
Perform during the printer’s start-up cycle.
Runtime diagnostics
Perform during normal printer operation.
Remote diagnostics
Maintained during normal operation and reported in the print test.
The printer can be configured with the following settings and functions through the
configuration menu that is printed on the receipt. For more information on
configuring the printer, see “Printer configuration” on page xx.

Start-up Diagnostics
When the printer receives power or performs a hardware reset, it automatically performs the
startup diagnostics (also known as level 0 diagnostics) during the start-up cycle. The following
diagnostics are performed:
Turn off motors
Perform boot CRC check of the firmware ROM and test main program CRC
Failure causes Start-up Diagnostics to stop; the printer beeps and the LED flashes a
set number of times, indicating the nature of the failure. The table in the
“Indicators” section (page 14) describes the specific tone and LED sequences.
Check if paper is present
Return the knife to the home position
Failure causes a fault condition. The table in the “Indicators” section (page 14)
describes the specific tone and LED sequences.
Check if receipt cover is closed
Failure does not interrupt the start-up cycle.
At power up, if the LED blinks twice, every four seconds, the object storage areas are being
initialized. This process could take up to two minutes. Once the object storage area initialization is
complete the printer will continue with its normal startup procedure and operation. DO NOT
RESET THE PRINTER UNTIL THIS PROCESS IS COMPLETE.
When the start-up diagnostics are complete, the printer makes a two-tone beep (low then high
frequency), the paper feed button is enabled, and the printer is ready for normal operation.
