Turning the printer on and off

Note
Improper handling may damage the printer!
- Never turn off the printer while a print job is in progress, the printer is
receiving data from the computer (blinking green Ready indicator on
control panel), or the printer is being reset.
Set the power switch to the I (ON)

position to turn on the printer.
The printer is ready to use in ap-
proximately 20 seconds. The green
Ready indicator should be on (but
not blinking) and the orange Error
indicator off.
