— HOLD PRINT

This button activates the HOLD PRINT Status Indicator Light on the front panel of the ULTRA and puts the ULTRA in HOLD PRINT mode. No data will be output to the printer, and the host will see the printer as busy.

The HOLD PRINT button enables all Operator Function Buttons other than RESET and TEST.

To exit HOLD PRINT mode, use the ENABLE PRINT button.

— TEST

This button sends a General Configuration Report to the printer, if the ULTRA is in normal operating mode. This report also indicates the current firmware level.

The TEST button can also be used to output a Printer Test when dip switch A2 is in the ON (down) position and subsequently either the RESET button is pressed or the unit is powered up. Refer to Section 4 — Troubleshooting for more information on printing reports.

— CANCEL

In SCS mode, this button sends a cancel message to the control unit. If not in SCS mode, this button is ignored, except when used in conjunction with the RESET button as noted below.

The HOLD PRINT button must be pressed before using CANCEL. ENABLE PRINT must be pressed after CANCEL to resume printing.

When dip switch B7 is in the ON (down) position, pressing the RESET and CANCEL buttons will cause the ULTRA to output a Translate Table Report. Refer to Section 4 — Troubleshooting for more information on printing reports.

— FORM FEED

This button outputs one form feed command to the printer.

The HOLD PRINT button must be pressed before using FORM FEED. ENABLE PRINT must be pressed after FORM FEED to resume printing.

— ENABLE PRINT

When in HOLD PRINT mode, this button turns off the HOLD PRINT Status Indicator Light on the front panel, exits HOLD PRINT mode and allows printing to resume.
