Control Panel Key Functions

Control Panel Key Functions

Online Key

This key toggles the printer between Online and Offline states, or exits from the menu directly to an Online state. When the printer is Online, the indicator will light. In the Offline state, you may change parameter selections, load paper, and so on.

LF Key (Line Feed)

This key advances the paper one line. It performs the same function whether the printer is Online or Offline. You may auto-repeat this command by holding down the key.

	While Offline With Data Buffered
	Any buffered data falling in the next line (as defined by the
	current LPI setting), prints. This repeats upon subsequent LF
	keystrokes as long as there is data in the buffers. If pressed
	while printing is in progress, the printer ignores the key

While Offline With No Data Buffered

Paper advances one line. While printing is in progress, the printer ignores the command and maintains the Top of Form position.

While In A Fault Condition

Paper advances one line. No data is printed and the Top of Form position moves down one line. This allows the use of the LF Key to advance paper while in a Paper Out condition without printing any buffered data.

FF Key (Form Feed)

This key performs the same function whether the printer is Online or Offline.

While Offline With Data Buffered

Any buffered data falling between the current form position and the top of the next form (as defined by the current Form Length setting), prints. This func- tion repeats upon subsequent FF keystrokes as long as there is data in the buffers. The printer ignores the command while printing is in progress and maintains the Top of Form position.

While Offline With No Data Buffered

Paper advances to the top of the next form. The printer ignores this command while printing is in progress and maintains the Top of Form position.
