NOTE: Pressing ON LINE also moves the paper back to the adjusted print

position and returns the printer to online. If you press PAPER

ADVANCE while in view or eject mode, the paper will return to the

adjusted print position and then perform the paper advance motion.

Standard Mode – The first press ejects the paper 22 inches. Pressing the key

again retracts 22 inches.

Form Saver Mode – Allows near demand printing of forms that do not have

pre–printed headers.

CANCEL – In offline mode, this key cancels all data in the print buffer (if enabled

in the “MAINT/MISC” menu). The print buffer is cleared without printing any of

the data and the current paper position is set as the Top–of–Form. If this function

is disabled, the CANCEL key will be ignored.

NOTE: Use of this key will cause loss of data

.

SET TOF (Top–of–Form) – Sets the top–of–form on the printer. This key is active

only when the printer is offline and will not operate if the printer is in a fault

condition. The paper moves down to the print position and aligns to the

top–of–form.

NOTE: If there is any data in the buffer, the paper will move to the last print

position.

PRT CONFIG – In offline mode, prints the current printer configuration. This key

requires a confirmation with the ENTER key; pressing any other key will exit from

this function.

JOB SELECT – In the offline mode, press JOB SELECT. The display reads

“Load Config ” and the name or number of the currently loaded configuration.

Press JOB SELECT until the configuration you want to load displays. Press

ENTER and “Loading Saved Configuration” displays. The configuration is loaded

into memory. Press ON LINE twice to return to online mode.
