3–4 Operating the Printer
Control Panel Keys
ON LINE / CLEAR – Toggles the printer between online and offline modes. If a
fault condition exists, pressing this key will clear a fault message and return the
printer from fault mode to offline mode.
NOTE: If the fault condition is not corrected before pressing this key, the fault
message will reappear when attempting to place the printer online.
PAPER ADVANCE – Performs advance to top of form or line feed, depending on
how long the key is pressed. Quickly pressing this key will perform a line feed.
Holding the key down for more than one half second will advance the paper to
Top–of–Form. In online mode, only an advance to Top–of–Form will occur.
•
If there is data in the printer buffer, the data will print and then the paper
will move to the next top–of–form.
•
In the fault state PAPER ADVANCE does not advance the paper to the
next top–of–form; instead, it will slew the paper 11 inches.
VIEW / EJECT – Executes the view or eject function, depending on how long the
key is pressed . When the VIEW/EJECT key is pressed quickly the view function
is executed. When it is held down for longer than 1/2 second, the eject function is
executed.
View Function – Press and release VIEW/EJECT to move the last data printed
to the tractor area for viewing. While in the view state, the
Y
or
B
can be
pressed to adjust the paper up or down in 1/72 inch increments. Press
VIEW/EJECT a second time to move back to the adjusted print position.
Eject Function – In offline mode, when the Eject Mode is enabled, holding the
VIEW/EJECT key down for longer than one half second will invoke the Eject
function. The amount of paper advanced is determined by the eject mode
selected in the configuration menu: standard, simple tear, and form saver action.
