Selecting Key Lockout

Select any key to be locked-out as shown below.

KEY LOCKOUT

Key lockout controls which operator panel keys (see Key Functions in this User’s Manual) are active in order to prevent inadvertent operator key depression from interrupting normal printer function. To select keys for lockout, press the ENTER key to go from the top level to the second level.

ON (Online): Prevents key response only while printer is online.

ALW (Always): Prevents key response while printer is online or offline or during power-on.

NEV (Never): Printer always acknowledges key response.

If a locked key is pressed, then the printer will give an alarm BEEP (approx. 25 sec.) and the LCD will temporarily display KEY LOCKED (approx. 5 sec).

ON LINE key

If the ON LINE key is locked-out in ONL pressing the ON LINE key does not take the printer offline. However you can always put the printer back On line in the event that the printer was deselected (by host) or a Fault is detected such as Paper out.

If this key is locked-out in ALW, then this key will not permit to put the printer on line or off line.
