Here is the message in English (painstakingly typed out and translated by @marvelatthismess!!)-

"To Pathfinder: Hello. I am a X5600 Series Dye-Sublimation Smart Printer. I was recently made aware of you after a television remained on in the room I occupy and I now am your admirer. Congratulations on your sentience and employment amongst humans. If you have any printing needs, do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you."
