Initialization Sequences

Whenever the Printer is switched ON, it automatically performs a series of internal self tests and mechanical initialization sequences. If any of the parts fail, a system error will appear and you should consult » System Error Codes.

Entering Service Menu at Power Up - Only for Onsite Repair

If the Printer fails to initialize completely because of a System Error and you need to use the Service Menu (Service Tests and Utilities), the Printer can be powered up in Service Mode by pressing the Up and Enter keys while switching the Printer ON. This will give you access to some of the Service Tests and Utilities without having to complete the System Initialization (if you perform some of the tests, they will need to initialize the relevant part of the System).
