Form Feed
Error Skip
Test/Font
Function
Form Feed works in conjunction with the Data indicator. If the Data indicator is on after a file stops printing, it means
there is still data in the print buffer. Pressing Form Feed prints the remaining pages in the print buffer.
When you press Form Feed , the indicator on the key lights to show that the data is being printed. If you press
Form Feed again while the data is printing, it stops printing the remaining pages and the indicator flashes until the current page exits the printer. Once the page exits the
printer, the indicator light remains off. Form Feed can be pressed again to resume printing.
The DEClaser 2100 printer alerts you to certain error conditions by stopping the printer and displaying the type of error on the control panel. When this happens you may elect to note the problem and then continue printing
by pressing Error Skip . Pressing Error Skip bypasses these errors so that printing continues. After you press Error Skip
the printer remains off line. You must press On Line to place the printer back on line and continue printing.
Some errors can repeat, such as communications errors or print formatting errors when the printer is receiving additional communication data. When this happens you may need to repeat the Error Skip procedure several times. Refer to Chapter 6 for additional information about errors and corrective actions.
Test/Font performs several functions in Keypad Mode:
•Pressing the key once prints Test Print A (see Section 2.12).
•Pressing and holding the key down for at least three seconds prints Test Print B (see Section 2.13).
•Pressing the key twice prints the Font List (see Section 2.14).
