Function Keys

When the JOB IN PROCESS status indicator lights steadily, pressing PAGE EJECT causes the printer to print all data in the printer. The page is then cut at the perforation (unless the Burst On Eject option is disabled).

When the JOB IN PROCESS status indicator flashes, pressing PAGE EJECT causes the printer to attempt to print any data in the buffer. The paper motion caused by the page eject operation may interrupt the printing of data that is not currently in the buffer. Once the paper motion has occurred, the data that was not yet in the buffer should print. The page is then cut at the perforation (unless the Burst On Eject option is disabled).

To start downloading files to the printer, hold down the ONLINE + PAGE EJECT keys while cycling power. (See Chapter 3 in the User’s Manual.)

When the JOB IN PROCESS status indicator is not lit or flashing, PAGE EJECT has no effect.

Pressing the SHIFT + PAGE EJECT keys together moves the paper one page length without printing or cutting the paper. It can be used to feed the paper into (customer-supplied) postprocessing equipment.

ENTER Key

When you enter parameters in the configuration menu, press ENTER to select the value shown in the LCD. The printer confirms your selection by placing an asterisk (*) next to the value in the display. However, if the ENTER key is locked, “ENTER SWITCH LOCKED” appears and the value is not accepted.

CANCEL Key

The CANCEL key performs the following functions when the printer is offline:

Cancels the current page in process

Cancels any pages queued to print but not yet printed

Cancels any input data not yet processed
