2-36 Installation bb _________________________________________
After the printer is powered on, it takes approximately 90 seconds for it
to run initialization programs and self-tests. After this warm-up, the
Ready light stops flashing and remains on and the start-up page
automatically prints.
If your printer does not power on when you turn the switch on, check
to be sure the power cord is properly attached and the power switch
is ON (the
|
side of the switch is depressed).
Reviewing the Start-up Page
Each time you turn on the printer, a start-up page prints after the
initialization period unless you disable this feature.
Review this page to be sure that the correct resolution, installed RAM,
and optional hard disks are recognized by the printer. The start-up page
also lists the printer’s name, page count, enabled interfaces, and network
information (if the Ethernet upgrade is installed).
See “The Startup Page Menu” in chapter 5 and chapter 3 (Macintosh) or
chapter 4 (PC) to control the start-up page feature.
The Printer Interfaces
Once the printer is set up, select the interface to connect the printer to
your computer or network. Your Accel-a-Writer 8300 has four standard
interface ports on the back—LocalTalk, serial, parallel, and a SCSI port.
An Ethernet port can be added as an option. Because these interfaces are
simultaneously active, the printer can receive jobs from different
operating environments without hardware switching.
