The recoverability of the HP2566C/HP2567C printer following a power
failure depends on which ^stem the printer is connected to. When
using an HP-IB interface on some ^sterns, the printer will display the
number “2” (silent run) and may take several minutes to recover the
job to the point where the power-fail occurred. DO NOT DISTURB
THE JOB OR PRINTER! Recovery time varies with the size of the
job and the system load. Refer to the appropriate system manual for
more information on this subject. If only the printer loses power, the
power-on parameters will be set as indicated on the previous page.
Reset
The reset operation causes the printer to default to the power-on
parameters as explained above. It is intended to be used only in the case
of a self-test error or by a Hewlett-Packard Service Representative.
Reset is performed by pressing the
(

keys together. When reset, the printer moves paper to the Top of
Form, reverts to the power-on parameters, and stays “off-line.” A
programmable reset can also be performed which affects the printer
similarly except that the printer remains “on-line.”
More information about the programmable reset is found in the HP256X
Printer Family Technical Reference Manual 02564-90905.
On-Line/Off-Line
When the printer is “on-line,” data and commands can he transmitted
to it from a controlling device or host (computer system). When it is
“off-line,” data and commands from the controlling device are ignored by
the printer. The printer must be “off-line” in order to use any key other
than
(

!
on the Operator Control Panel.
The printer is placed “on-line” and “off-line” by pressing the
(

line
)
key on the Operator Control Panel. Fault conditions such as paper
out, platen open, etc. cause the printer to turn “off- line.” When this
happens, the printer will not return “on- line” until the error has been
corrected and the
(

key is pressed.
