DISPLAY WINDOW
The display window is located on the top portion of the Operator
Control Panel (refer to Figure 6-3). The numbers that display in the
window convey information for the different modes: STATUS, TEST,
CONFIGURATION, and SET TOP OF FORM. The decimal points
indicate which mode the printer is in: no decimals are present when you
are in the STATUS mode; the right decimal shows up when you are in
the TEST mode; the middle and right decimals show up when you are in
the CONFIGURATION mode; and all three decimals show up when you
are in the SET TOP OF FORM mode.
Usually the printer is in the STATUS mode and displays a number
indicating what the printer is doing. Refer to Table 6-1 for status code
numbers and their descriptions.
When in the TEST mode, the number in the display window is the
number of the sub-test that you want to run. When a test is running,
the right decimal point blinks. (Refer to page 5-7 for more information
on the TEST mode.)
When you want the printer to perform different functions (change
character sets, turn perforation skip “ON” or “OFF”, etc.) you must
be in the CONFIGURATION mode. (Refer to page 5-1 for more
information).
In the TEST and CONFIGURATION modes, you can change the
numbers
