Setting the Prism Printer to AutoPrinter Mode
The Series 5 Prism printer (Version 5.025 Flash) has a mode for use with the
AutoPrism. If you are using the Prism with an AutoPrism transporter, you will need
to set your Prism printer to the new AutoPrism mode for it to work with the
AutoPrism transporter.
The following procedure describes how you can toggle the Prism printer between its
normal and AutoPrism modes.
1. Ensure that the Prism printer is installed on the Autoprinter transporter base and
cabled correctly.
2. Verify that the power switch for Prism printer is set to ON. It is unnecessary to
power off the Prism since its power is controlled by the switch on the transporter.
3. Power on the AutoPrism using the power switch at the rear of the transporter.
This will also power on the Prism printer.
