Initializing the printer

The following procedure initializes the printer to its power-on settings. If you have control panel settings stored in memory, this procedure sets up the printer using them.

❏Use ON LINE to take the printer off line (ON LINE indicator is not lit).

❏Hold down FONT and then PAPER FEED. Keep both buttons held down until the printer beeps once (indicating the printer buffer is cleared) and then beeps again three times, which indicates that the printer is reset.

Entering the Multi-part Mode

When the printer is in the Multi-part Mode, the print head prints with greater impact. It should be noted, however, that printing in the Multi-part Mode also reduces the life of the print head. Because of this, you should use the Multi-part Mode only for printing on four or five-ply paper. Return to the normal mode for printing on one to three-ply paper.

Use the following procedure to enter the Multi-part Mode

❏Turn off the printer.

❏While holding down the control panel’s PAPER/SET/EJECT button, turn the printer back on.

❏To exit the Multi-part Mode, Simply turn the printer off and back on again.
