Operating Your Printer 2 – 1

Buttons, levers and indicators

Before using your printer, it is worth familiarising yourself with the
buttons, levers and indicators on the printer and to understand the
various methods of loading paper.
The front panel of the printer has six buttons, two of which were briefly
introduced in the setup procedure. In addition, there are nine indicator
lights that show the status of the printer, mode and pitch selected.
POWER Indicator: Indicates that the printer power is turned ON .
SELECT Button: Pressing this button after the printer power is
ON places the printer in deselect mode. In this
mode the computer cannot communicate with
the printer. To return to select mode, simply
press this button again. Turning the printer ON
whilst holding down the SELECT and FORM
FEED buttons switches on the HEX-dump mode.
