U\fing the RoboJet D\ii\fc Autoloader
\bowering on the \brin\iter
	
The design of the Epson printer does not allow for it to power on properly. 
with a disc tray attached.  Because of this, the RoboJet 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 the printer that discs are to be printed.
