Basic Operating Procedures
When you power on the printer, it runs a self-test. Depending on
how the power-up state is configured, the printer will either be
online or offline after the test. The default power-up state is offline.
When the self-test completes and the software has initialized
successfully "OFFLINE" appears in the display.
If there is a fault during the self-test, the status indicator flashes and
a specific fault message appears on the display (such as "LOAD
PAPER"), also the alarm sounds if it is configured to. See page 85
for information on fault messages.
