Chapter 1: Setting Up the Printer Turning on the printer causes all the LEDs on the Operator panel to light up. In about 20 seconds, only the ON LINE indicator remains lit, showing that the printer is ready to print. The SuperScript 870 printer automatically enters a power-saving Energy Star compliant sleep mode if it receives no print commands for 30 minutes. Whenever the printer receives a print command while in this power-saving mode, it starts to warm up again and takes about 20 seconds before it is ready to print. For information on how to change this feature see page 57 in this user's guide. Testing the Printer Before connecting to a computer, perform the following procedure to print a test page and check that the printer is working correctly. 1. Make sure there is paper in the Multi-purpose tray. 2. Check that both the PAPER and ERROR lights are off, and the ON LINE light is on. This indicates there is no existing error condition and no data remaining to be printed. 3. Press the Operator panel button until all lights cycle and the ON LINE light (only) starts flashing. You may then release the button. This will start the test page print operation. Note: It is best to print the test page on letter or legal sized paper. Switching OFF the Printer Switch OFF the printer power by pressing [O] on the power switch located on the left side of the printer. Note: Do not switch OFF the power while the printer is processing a print job. Wait until the printer has finished the print job and has ejected all of the prints before you switch OFF the power. 21

Chapter 1: Setting Up the Printer
Turning on the printer causes all the LEDs on the
Operator panel to light up. In about 20 seconds,
only the ON LINE indicator remains lit, showing
that the printer is ready to print.
The SuperScript 870 printer automatically enters a
power-saving Energy Star compliant sleep mode
if it receives no print commands for 30 minutes.
Whenever the printer receives a print command
while in this power-saving mode, it starts to warm
up again and takes about 20 seconds before it is
ready to print. For information on how to change
this feature see page 57 in this user’s guide.
