Exposed Buttons – Most commonly used functions

Power ON/ONLINE This button acts as the power switch for the printer. When the printer is OFF, pushing this button will turn the printer ON. If the printer is ON, the button implements the functions described below. When held for 5 seconds, this button will turn the printer OFF.

This button also 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.
