Control panel
The control panel allows the user to set some functions in the printer
and set up the basic printer parameters on installation. The control pa-
nel is located on the front right side of your printer and consists of a
two-line LC display with 2 x 16 digits, three keys for controlling the
printer functions and four LED indicators displaying the status of the
printer.
The functions of the keys depend on the printer’s current mode (sta-
tus). There are three basic modes.
`
The Online mode is the printer’s normal operating mode. Data from
your computer can be received and printed.
`
In the Offline (STOP) mode the link between printer and computer
is interrupted, i.e. no data can be received and printed.
`
In the Menu mode printer settings (line spacing, size of the inter-
face buffer etc.) can be changed and saved permanently.
