Key

 

 

Function

 

 

 

[On Line]

Switches the printer between ON LINE (communicating with the

 

computer or other data source) and OFF LINE (not communicating).

 

For the printer to receive data, both the On Line and Ready indicator

 

lights must be on.

 

 

 

[Form Feed]

Prints any data remaining in printer’s buffer. It cannot be used to send

 

a blank sheet of paper through the printer.

 

 

 

[MP Paper

Selects the physical paper size loaded in the MP tray only when it is

Size]

operating as a PC tray.

 

 

 

[Enter]

Saves a selection in the printer’s “permanent” memory. An asterisk (*)

 

appears next to the item to indicate that it is now the default. The

 

selection remains even if the printer is switched off or you perform a

 

reset.

 

 

If buffered data or temporary data (such as temporary downloaded

 

typefaces) are present, [Enter] only marks the items with an asterisk

 

(*) as the default. When you press [On Line] or [Menu], the message

 

10 RESET TO SAVE appears. There are three choices:

 

[Reset]

Clears page buffers

 

RESET MENU

(See the following table.) Clears page buffers

 

[On Line]

Places the printer on line without performing a

 

 

 

reset.

 

 

 

[Shift]

Accesses the lower labels ( [Reset], [Continue], and [-]) on the control

 

panel. It works like the [Shift] key on your computer’s keyboard.

 

 

 

[Menu]

[Menu] cycles through the menu selections, returning to 00 READY at

 

the end of the cycle unless an error, warning, or configuration

 

problem is encountered. If an option such as PostScript or a different

 

I/O has been added, that menu appears in the menu sequence.

 

 

 

[Continue]

Continue ([Shift] + [Item]) allows the printer to resume printing after it

 

has been placed off line due to an error condition or a device

 

attendance request (such as 21 PRINT OVERRUN). The [Continue] key

 

clears most error messages and places the printer back on line. It

 

functions like the [On Line] key except:

 

 

 

 

1. Continue does not override an error condition.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Continue

allows you to override the paper or envelope size

 

selection regardless of what size media is in the MP tray.

 

 

 

 

3. Continue allows you to override a request to manually feed paper or

 

an envelope; it will select paper from the next available source instead.

 

 

 

[+] or -]

[+] or [-]allows you to step (by momentarily pressing the key) or scroll

 

(by holding down the key) through the item choices for a specific

 

menu. [Shift] [+] (or [-]) allows you to cycle through the item choices in

 

reverse order.
