Control panel functions in off-line mode

Line feed

Press the LINE FEED button once to feed the paper one line. Holding down the LINE FEED button continually feeds the paper, 1/6” (default) at a time, until you release the button.

The line feed is executed using the current line feed value. In Self Test mode, this button is ignored. While this button is held down, line feed is executed up to 13 times. If the button is held down after 13 times of line feed, the paper is continuously fed to the top of the next page. If the ON LINE button is pressed while this button is held down, form feed is executed.

Set/Park/Eject

Press the SET/PARK/EJECT button to set, eject, or park the paper.

If the paper is not loaded (paper end condition), paper loading is executed. After the paper is loaded completely, the printer switches on- line mode. If the paper is loaded (not paper end condition), the paper is parked when using fanfold paper or ejected when using cut-sheet paper. After the paper is parked or ejected completely, the printer switches to off-line mode.
