After the upgrade file is loaded, the printer restarts and the Ready-to-Work indicator turns on: • If the Ready-to-Work indicator turns on and stays on, the upgrade process is finished and the printer is ready to use. • If the Ready-to-Work indicator is flashing, you need to restart the printer once again to complete the upgrade. • If the Ready-to-Work indicator is off, there may be a condition that is preventing the printer from restarting. For example, the printer lid may not be fully closed. PC23 and PC43 Desktop Printer User Manual 113
