• The printer is ready to print immediately.
LED flashes – STANDBY mode
• All power absorbers of the printer are switched off, with the exception
of those related directly to the processor (power saving mode).

Informs the printer that an empty magazine has been refilled and put back
into place. (Or that a magazine has been removed and replaced by another
one containing cassettes of a different color).
Pressing and holding LOADED for approx. 10 sec. in offline mode:
Informs the printer that a cartridge has been exchanged.

5. Operation
Printing is possible in POWER ON mode only.
To activate POWER ON with the printer being in STANDBY mode,
press POWER. POWER ON will be activated via the PC interface.
If no print job is received within a certain period of time, the print-
er automatically switches over to STANDBY mode. After switching
from STANDBY mode to POWER ON mode, there will be a reduced
print throughput until all systems have reached their proper operat-
ing temperature.
