Phaser 240 Color Printer
When you turn on the printer, it executes a series of self-tests to determine if
there are any problems. After running self-tests, the printer prints a startup
page, if the startup page is enabled (factory default). After running self-tests
and printing the startup page, the printer is ready for operation. The entire
power-up sequence can last from 1 to 3 minutes, depending on the type of
transfer roll installed and whether the startup page is enabled. The next few
topics describe the printer's power-up sequence in detail.
Front panel at power-up
All indicators light briefly and immediately go out, except POWER and
READY
, which remain on for about 10 seconds. Then the READY indicator
blinks while the POWER indicator remains on and the self-tests are run.
When both POWER and READY are on steady (not blinking), the self-tests
are complete.
When a standard transfer roll is more than 75 percent used up, the front-panel
RIBBON
indicator lights, reminding you that it is time to order a new
transfer roll.
When you install the sample transfer roll supplied with the printer, the
RIBBON
indicator may light as soon as you install it, or after you make a
few prints. This is because the sample transfer roll contains a limited number
of prints.
For complete information on the front-panel indicator lights, refer to “Front
panel” on page 7-1.
