U\fing the RoboJet Di\i\fc AutoPrinter
Powering on the Printe\ir
 
The design of the printer does not allow for it to power on properly with a disc 
tray attached.  Because of this, the disc autoloader is designed with a physical 
“Printer Mode Switch” that can be used to simulate the absence of the disc tray .  
Whenever the printer is powered on, the Printer Mode Switch must be in the 
paper mode which is indicated by a paper icon indicating the switch position.  
Once the printer has initialized and shows a steady green light on its power 
button, then the Printer Mode Switch can be pushed forward to the disc icon 
position, which signals to the printer that discs are to be printed.
