Power On

To turn the system on or off:

1. Press Power .

To preserve battery life, when the printer detects a time of inactivity, it automatically shuts

down. Any data on the screen at the time of auto shutdown is retained and available the next

time the [Power] key is pressed to restart the printer.

The first time the printer is turned on, you may want to choose a language in which to display

screen items. Language selection is obtained from the Menu function. (For more information,

see “Selecting a Language” on page 20.)

Whenever the printer is powered on, the system performs an initialization process. Part of this

process is recognizing the media installed. While it is possible to power on the printer without

installing media, you must insert a media cartridge in order to continue.
