Operating the Control Panel

Other control panel features

The control panel also gives you access to several special functions.

Self test:

By holding down the LINE FEED button (for draft

 

mode) or the FORM FEED button (for Letter

 

Quality mode) while you turn on the printer,

 

you can start the printer’s self test. The self test

 

printout lets you check the current DIP switch

 

settings and operating status of the printer.

 

See the section on testing the printer in Chapter 1

 

for more information.

Data dump:

By holding down both the LINE FEED and FORM

 

FEED buttons while you turn on the printer, you

 

turn on the data dump mode. This feature

 

allows advanced users to find the cause of

 

communication problems between the printer

 

and the software.
