3.1.2 The Buttons

This section explains the various meaning and uses of the buttons, including

their light indicators, where present. Keep in mind that the buttons’ functions

depend on the mode the printer is in: the Normal Mode and Program Mode.

[ON LINE]

ON LINE

L--l

Pressing this button switches the printer from Off Line to On

Line or vice versa. When the printer is On Line (ON LINE LED

is lit), the printer is able to receive information from the

computer and print it. All other buttons (except for the [ERROR

SKIP] button under certain conditions) are inactive when the printer is On

Line. When the printer is Off Line, the printer is unable to receive informa-

tion and print, but the other switches can be used. If the printer is in the

Program Mode, pressing this buttonexits from the Program Mode, and enters

to the Normal Mode.

When the printer is On Line, the LED is on.

When the printer is Off Line, the LED is off.

[PRINT]

PRINT

LJ

This button is active only when the printer is Off Line. Pressing

the switch will print any page. If there is no page, the depression

of the switch will be ignored. When printing is in operation, the

LED is on.

[ERROR SKIP/<]

ERROR

LJ

This button is basically active only when the printer is Off Line.

SKIP In the Normal Mode, a depression of this button has no effect

< if no alarm condition exists. However, if an alarm or warning

condition exists, pressing this switch causes the printer to

return to the previous state after corrective action has been taken.

When the printer is Off Line and in the Program Mode, this key is called

NEXT. During programming, pressing this button displays the various items

under a category for the operator to select next in the sequence.
