Front Panel Button Usage
The Front Panel Button can be used to accomplish the following tasks:
Wake Up
If the printer is in SleepMode (all the status lights are off
while the printer is plugged in to a power source) the
printer will wake up to a ready state when the button is
briefly pushed and released.
Self Test

lights are off.
If necessary, wake up the printer.
Briefly press and release the button.
The Data (middle)
Light comes on, the Ready (bottom) Light blinks, and
the self test page prints.
Printer Reset
Press and hold the button until the three front panel
lights begin to blink quickly in succession (about 5
seconds), then let go of the button.
After resetting, the Ready (bottom) Light will remain lit if
there are no printer errors. (Make sure there is paper in
the printer or the error light will remain on.)
The reset

downloaded fonts will be removed from memory
).

printing a file.
Briefly press and release the button to
print the remaining data.
