1. Getting Started
This section gives you general information about using the
printer. To enter data, refer to "Using Data Entry Mode."
Daily Startup
Your printer can be set to start
offline
(batches entered from
the printer keyboard) or
online
(batches downloaded from a
host computer). Depending on how your printer is set, you’ll
see one or more of the following prompts at startup.
1. Turn the power switch on. If the printer was last turned off
while batches were printing, the message
Batches ready to print.
Enter START key to begin._
will display briefly. You can
• press to print the batch(es) waiting
• delete the batch(es) in Batch Control (see "Monitoring
Batch Printing").
If no batches are waiting to print, you’ll see a start-up
message.
CAUTION
Turning the printer on and off rapidly can cause it to
malfunction. If you have turned the printer on (or off), wait
10 seconds before turning it back off (or on).
