VIEW / EJECT

When the printer is online or offline, pressing this key executes the view or
eject function, depending on whether the printer is a cabinet or a pedestal (or
zero tear pedestal).

If online with data in the printer buffer, the data prints and the key functions as
described below.

If in a fault state, this key will be ignored.

View Function — for cabinet models, pressing the
VIEW/EJECT key moves the last data printed to the tractor area for
viewing. While in the view state, the message "Printer in View" displays,
pressing the UP or DOWN arrow keys moves the paper up or down in 1/
72 inch increments. This is done to align the image within a pre-printed
form, for example. Refer to the UP and DOWN key functions for additional
details on the microstep feature. Pressing VIEW/EJECT a second time
moves the paper back to the adjusted print position.

Eject Function — for pedestal models, when the VIEW/EJECT key is
pressed, the bottom of the last printed form will move to the tear bar position.
The message "READY TO TEAR/EJECT To Return" displays. While in this
position, pressing the UP or DOWN arrow keys moves the paper up or down
in 1/72 inch increments. Refer to the Up and Down key functions for additional
details on the microstep feature. When the VIEW/EJECT key is pressed a
second time, the printer will move the paper to enable printing on the next
available form.

CANCEL

In offline mode, this key cancels all data in the print buffer, if enabled in
“ADVANCED USER” menu (see page 101). The print buffer is cleared without
printing any of the data and the current paper position is set as the top-of-
form. If this function is disabled, the CANCEL key will be ignored.

NOTE: Use of this key will cause loss of data

.

SET TOF

Sets the top-of-form on the printer. This key is active only when the printer is
offline and will not operate if the printer is in a fault condition. The paper
moves down to the print position and aligns to the top-of-form. See the

Quick

Setup Guide for the complete top-of-form setting procedure.

NOTE: If there is any data in the buffer, the paper will move to the last print

position.

PRT CONFIG

In offline mode, PRT CONFIG prints the current printer configuration. This key
requires a confirmation with the ENTER key; pressing any other key will exit
from this function. See “The Configuration Menus” on page 39 for an
explanation of configuration menus.
