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.
