7 Powering Up FotoFUN!
Power is automatically applied to the printer when it is plugged
in. Press the
on off button if you wish to turn the printer off.
NOTE: Optional external power supply must be a listed Class 2 device with
an output rating of 20 volts and 4 amps DC (direct current).
B. PRINTING A SELF TEST
Now that ribbon is installed and power is connected, a self test
should be performed to check for proper operation of the
printer. A sample of the self test print is shown below. Refer to
the following steps to run a self test:
1. If power is on, turn it off now. The on off light should be off.
Verify that ribbon is installed.
2. With the printerÕs cover closed, press and hold the clear
button.
3. While holding the clear button down, press and release the
on off button. Continue to hold the clear button down
until the self test activates.
4. You should then hear the printerÕs feed rollers begin to turn.
Once these rollers begin to turn, release the
clear button
and insert a sheet of photo paper with the glossy print side
facing down.
The self test pattern should now be printing.
Color Self Test Example: (30% of actual size)
NOTE: If you notice dark lines running the length of your self test print, don’t
worry. These lines will not appear in your output when printing from
your computer. The self test feature is intended only for testing the
mechanical funtions of the printer, not its print quality.
