ENTER (
↵
)
When navigating the configuration menus, the Enter key (referenced by the
symbol
↵ ) selects the currently displayed option value as the active value. An
asterisk (*) appears next to the active value on the display. Enter is also used
for starting and stopping printer tests and generating a configuration printout.
NOTE: The Enter key must be unlocked to execute the select function.
See UP + DOWN, later in this section.
The ENTER key lock and unlock function can be configured to be a
key combination other than
 +  (see page 235).
• In Offline mode, pressing the Enter key places the printer in Menu mode.
This will bring up a set of icons to select.
• In Menu mode (at the icon menu level), pressing the Enter key moves
down into the menu tree of the highlighted icon.
• Within a menu tree: if the highlighted menu contains submenus instead of
a selectable parameter, pressing the Enter key will go into the submenu.
If the highlighted menu is a display only menu, then pressing the Enter
key performs no function. If the highlighted menu has selectable
parameters, pressing the unlocked Enter key will select the displayed
parameter. An asterisk (*) displays next to the selected parameter.
• If the highlighted menu is an executable menu, pressing the unlocked
Enter key will cause the function associated with the executable menu to
run. If the ENTER key is locked, pressing the Enter key for highlighted
menus that are executable or contain selectable parameters will cause
the message, THE
↵
KEY IS LOCKED, to display momentarily.
NOTE: Press the UP and Down keys at the same time to lock/unlock
the
↵
key.
For special Network Address menus or String menus, pressing the Enter key

by pressing Enter again to save changes or Cancel to exit without saving
