This chapter describes general functions that can be performed using the control panel buttons 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.

Important!

The procedures described in this chapter will not work if paper is not loaded into the printer. Be sure to use the procedures on page 9 of this manual to load paper before trying any of the following operations.

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.

Important!

Make sure that the on-line/off-line setting of the printer is correct before performing any other control panel operations.
