Power On
Printer Version
To turn the system on or off:
1. Press Power .
2. Watch the screen closely for the version number which displays briefly.
If you missed seeing the version number and need to know what it is:
3. Remove whichever type of batteries are installed.
4. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.
5. Reinstall batteries while watching the screen.
If using the power adapter instead of batteries:
6. With the printer powered up, remove and reinsert the power adapter into the plug-in port
on the left side of the printer while watching the screen.
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 25.)
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.
