This chapter describes control panel functions that can be performed while the printer is turned on and either on-line or off-line. The buttons perform different functions in the EDS and Dot Adjustment Modes. Functions of control panel buttons in these modes are described in the relevant sections covering them.

Switching between on-line and off-line

❏Press ON LINE to switch the printer between being on-line and off-line.

❏When the printer is on-line, the ON LINE indicator is lit and the printer can receive data from the computer. You should make sure that the printer is on- line whenever you are trying to print.

❏When the printer is in off-line, the ON LINE indicator goes out, which means that the printer cannot receive any data.

❏Note that you can also press ON LINE while a printing operation is in progress to stop the printing.

Important!

Make sure that the on-line/off-line setting of the printer is correct before performing a control panel operation.
