Notes :

1. *If the LED does not light in green (the printer does not enter the service mode), disconnect the power cord and plug it again. Then start from step 1) to start the printer in the service mode again. If the automatic power-on function is enabled in the printer, the printer enters the service mode for the first time, but it will never enter the service mode if the printer is turned off by the Power button. This is because the printer remains to be turned on internally if the power is turned off by the Power button. To prevent this, disconnection of the power cord is required before starting the printer in the service mode.
2. *If the Resume/Cancel button is pressed 22 or more times, the Alarm or Power LED lights steadily without any changes.
