OPERATION

1. Switches and Indicators

There are three switches and four indicators (green LED’s) on the control panel and one power switch on the right side of the Printer case. In this section, panel operating procedures are covered in sufficient detail for the user to become familiar with the Printer. (See Fig. 47 for the control panel.)

1.1. Switches

POWER SW: Controls primary AC power to the Printer.

NOTE: Before turning this switch on, check to see if the paper is properly set in the Printer.

Incorrect setting of the paper may prevent the Printer from operating properly.

ON LINE S W : When the power switch is turned on after paper has been loaded,

the Printer enters the ON-LINE mode and can be utilized in conjunction with a host computer.

Depressing the ON-LINE switch will set the Printer in the OFFLINE mode and cause the green LED to go out. The switch does not function while the Printer is actively engaged in printing. The Printer is automatically placed OFF-LINE if the paper supply is exhausted or if a mechanical error occurs in the Printer.

The operations of the Line Feed and Form Feed switches are effective only while the Printer is OFF-LINE.
