Preparing to Operate the 1330
Powering on the 1330
Turn the printer on by setting the Power switch to the | (ON) position (see Figure 2-7).
When the printer is powered on, BASIC ASSURANCE TEST IN PROGRESS will appear
in the display window. The Basic Assurance Test (BAT) tests various components of the
1330 and ensures that the printer is ready for operation. The current status of the test in
progress is displayed in the bottom row. If an error condition is encountered during the
BAT, the BAT will halt and the error message will be displayed. For a list of error messages
and recovery procedures, refer to Appendix A of this manual.
Note: If you have been following the procedures for printer installation as presented
in this chapter, the display will indicate that there is no paper in the printer.
Continue to follow these procedures.
When the BAT is completed successfully (within a few seconds), the READY message
will appear in the display window. In 3270 mode, if communications have been established
with the host system, Cu will display. If communications have not been established with
the host, the display will read READY, and Cu will disappear in about 30 seconds.
The next step is to check your forms against the 1330 forms specifications.
Forms Specifications
Before installing the forms, you should review the forms you intend to use to make sure
they meet 1330 specifications. Figures 2-10 through 2-13 show these specifications.
Specifications are given for the two types of form feed mechanism available for the
1330, the Continuous Forms module and the Forms Handler module (with both the
Document on Demand [DOD] option and Document Insertion Device [DID] option).
