• The feed button is a multifunction button. By pressing and releasing the Feed

button, the printer will feed about 5 inches of paper while printing the printer

firmware version. This is intended to clear the printer and align the next ticket for

print.

• By pressing and holding the feed button for a longer time, two additional features

may be activated. Pressing and holding the button for about two seconds will

enter journal maintenance mode.

• Holding the button for about 4 seconds will enter configuration mode.

To aid in selecting the correct mode, the Fault LED will illuminate as soon as the

button is pressed and indicates that FEED is selected. After about 2 seconds the

Fault LED will go out and the PAPER indicator will illuminate. This indicates that

Journal mode is selected. After about 4 seconds, the Cover LED will illuminate

indicating configuration mode is selected
