Control Panel Buttons

ONLINE

This button toggles the printer between the on line

 

and off line state. When the printer is on line, it

 

may be printing or may begin printing at any time.

 

To stop the printing or prevent printing from

 

starting, use this button to take the printer off line

 

(see “ONLINE Status Indicator” above). The

 

printer must be off line in order to use the other

 

control panel buttons.

 

This button is also used to place the printer back

 

on line following any error condition (ONLINE

 

indicator is flashing Red), such as paper out.

 

When pressed to go on line, the printer will first

 

attempt to clear any errors. For example, if there

 

is a paper out condition, the printer will attempt

 

to load the form in the currently selected tractors

 

and, if successful, go on line.

FORM FEED/LOAD

This button performs a number of different form

 

feeding functions. The printer will automatically

 

select the correct function to perform based upon

 

the current position of the form.

 

LOAD:

 

∙ Loads the form that has been selected with

 

the FORM SELECT button.

 

If a the selected form is already recognized

 

as “loaded” in the tractors, the printer will

 

position the tractors if necessary

 

(FormsMaster 8003se) and advance the

 

form to the print position.

 

If the selected form is not currently

 

considered to be loaded in the tractors

 

(display shows <Not Loaded>), this button

 

will change the status of this form to “loaded”

 

and the bottom line of the display will show
