MANUAL FEED

Ordinarily, this light is off and paper feeds automatically from the paper tray. When you want to feed paper manually, set the printer off line and press this button. When you want to print on contimuous paper, press MANUAL FEED to release the paper in the paper tray.

RESET

When the printer is off line and no data is in memory, press RESET once to cancel any settings made by printer commands and to cancel draft printing and manual feed modes, if they are selected. Hold this button down for 5 or more seconds to reset all printer settings to factory settings. (The printer cannot be reset with this button if it was set off line by a fatal error.)

Note: If you want to stop the printer while it is printing, cancel the print job using your application program and then press RESET to reset the printer.

When the printer cover is open, the five buttons described above have a different shape and two sets of labels. Their functions, however, are the same as long as you are not in SelecType mode (whenever the SelecType light is off). You can also see a sixth button, Select Type, which is only visible when the printer cover is open. SelecType functions for each button are explained in the next section.

If you use the parallel interface and print on letter size paper, you may not need to use SelecType except to run the status sheet or self test.
