Control panel buttons

The control panel buttons let you perform printer operations quickly and easily. Most buttons work only when the printer is off line. The exceptions to this are the ON LINE button and the LINE FEED/LOAD button.

The ON LINE button controls the printer’s on line status. Press this button to put the printer on line or take it off line. When the printer is on line, the ON LINE light is on and the printer can receive and print data from the computer.

When you are in the top of form mode, you can press the ON LINE button to exit the mode without setting a new top of form position. You can also press the ON LINE button to exit the tear-off mode. See Chapter 2 for more information on adjusting the top of form position and using automatic tear-off.

The FORM FEED button lets you advance the paper to the top of the next page. To use this feature, press the button when the printer is off line. To adjust the position that the paper is fed to, see the section on adjusting the top of form position in Chapter 2.

This button can also be used to run the printer’s self test. See the section on running the self test in Chapter 1.
