Oki 720, 721 Buttons

Buttons

When the printer is selected (SEL light on), only the functions marked at the top of the bank of buttons (LF, FF/LOAD, TEAR, PARK, QUIET) are in effect. When the printer is deselected (SEL light off), the functions marked at the bottom of the buttons (Micro Feed Down, Micro Feed Up, TOF) can be accessed by means of the SHIFT button.

Each button can have several functions, depending on the mode in use (Print Mode or Menu Mode), on whether or not the printer is selected and on whether or not the optional Cut Sheet Feeder (CSF) is installed. Most buttons also have a different function if they are pressed while the printer is being turned on. In addition, different combinations of two buttons can be used to access functions.

The various function available for each button are summarized in the table below.

The PRINT QUALITY and CHARACTER PITCH buttons are discussed under “Performing Basic Tasks,” later in this chapter.
