Software Driver Selection
At this point it is necessary to configure your printer for your application
package. The installation procedures depend upon the host
environment. In a Windows® environment, the printer supports the
Plug&Play feature.
Power Connection
1. Make sure the power outlet is near the printer location and
easily accessible.
2.Make sure that the power switch is in 0 position(OFF).
3.Insert the power cable plug into the printer connector and the
other power cable end into a convenient outlet.
4.Turn the printer on, press the power switch in the position (ON).
Attention
: Use always wall oulet with ground wire.
Attention
: If, for any reason, the Controller Board was not correctly
installed in the printer, the printer will not work and the following
audio/visual symptoms will occur:
- The buzzer sounds continuously.
- The Operator Panel display is partially filled with solid black boxes.
- The Operator Panel LEDs are all lit. If this is the case, power off the
printer, re-seat the Controller Board, and power the printer on again.

Operator Panel
The operator panel contains 3 status indicators, a 2-line by 24-
characters display panel, 14 printer function keys, and an audible
alarm as indicated in the figure below. For indicators and function keys
there is a short description. For details see User’Guide.
Indicators
READY
If the READY indicator is lighted, the printer is ready to print. If READY
is not lighted, the printer is not ready to print.
The printer can receive data when this indicator is not lighted, but no
data can be printed.
PROCESSING
If lighted, the printer is printing or processing data. If blinking, the
printer buffer contains data that cannot be printed immediately. If not
lighted, there is no data to process and no data in the print buffer.
ATTENTION
If blinking, the printer requires operator intervention (for example, to
add forms or to clear a forms jam). The type of intervention needed
appears on the display panel. If not lighted, the printer does not require
immediate attention.
