Keypad

Some keys on the keypad perform a dual function

 

depending on whether the printer is in Keypad

 

Mode or Menu Mode. In Keypad Mode, the keys

 

perform the primary function labeled on the key

 

such as Test/Font or Manual Feed. When the

 

printer is in Menu Mode, the keys perform the

 

secondary function labeled with the gray colored

 

symbols and text such as / or . .

 

 

 

NOTE: All keys and related functions (with the
