Selecting the Quiet Print Mode

The Quiet Print Mode lets you print with less noise than that produced with normal printing. Use the following procedure to enter and exit the Quiet Print Mode.

Important!

Though the Quiet Print Mode prints more quietly, it also causes printing to take considerably longer than normal printing.

❏Make sure the printer is on-line (ON LINE indicator is lit).

❏Press FONT, to toggle between the Quiet Print Mode and normal printing.

The QUIET indicator is lit when the Quiet Print Mode is selected, and is not lit when normal printing is selected.

Changing the auto load position

Normally the printer automatically feeds paper to a standard position (1/6-inch from the top of the paper). This is called the auto load position. You can use the following procedure to specify a different auto load position.

❏Make sure the printer is off-line (ON LINE indicator is not lit).

❏While holding down ON LINE, press FONT and then release the two buttons.

The printer will automatically eject the cut-sheet that is in the printer, or reverse feed fanfold paper until it is no longer in contact with the platen. Also, all the font and pitch indicators on the control panel will light.
