host computer.
Exposed Buttons – Most commonly used functions
Power ON/ONLINE
This button acts as the power switch for the
printer. When the printer is OFF, pushing this
button will turn the printer ON. If the printer is
ON, the button implements the functions
described below. When held for 5 seconds, this
button will turn the printer OFF.
This button also toggles the printer between the
on line and off line state. When the printer is on
line, it may be printing or may begin printing at
any time. To stop the printing or prevent printing
from starting, use this button to take the printer
off line (see “ONLINE Status Indicator”) above.
The printer must be off line in order to use the
other control panel buttons.
This button is also used to place the printer back
on line following any error condition (ONLINE
indicator is flashing Red), such as paper out.
When pressed to go on line, the printer will first
attempt to clear any errors. For example, if there
is a paper out condition, the printer will attempt
to load the form in the currently selected tractors
and, if successful, go on line.
