ready / insert Button Functions
The ready / insert button is used for a number of functions which differ depending on the
printer state.
The functions during normal printing are described below.
•
Paper feed and eject
Paper feed
Paper is fed by setting the paper feed switch to position "M" while no data is being
received from the computer (i.e,
ready light is on), loading one sheet of paper into the
sheet feeder, and then pressing the ready/insert button.
Paper eject
If paper is already present and no data is being received (
ready light is on), pressing
the ready / insert button causes the paper to be ejected.
•
Canceling an alarm
After the cause of the alarm has been removed, an alarm for anything other than a
hardware or mechanism error can be cleared by pressing the
ready / insert button.
•
Forced printing and clearing data
When the data transfer from the computer stops for more than a certain period of time
(about 30 seconds) and the
ready light is blinking quickly, press the ready / insert but-
ton to force the printer to print the data it has received so far.
