1.Press the On Line switch to set the printer off-line.

2.Press the On Line switch again and-hold it down.

3.Press the Print Pitch switch. The paper will start moving backwards in a series of small steps. When you want to stop, release both switches.

Left margin: NLQ Type Style and Print Pitch switches

Software almost always provides commands for controlling the margins, so you will not usually have to set them from the control panel. When necessary, however, you can set the left margin as follows.

1.Press the On Line switch to set the printer off-line.

2.Press the NLQ Type Style switch and hold it down.

3.Press the Print Pitch switch. The print head will make a short excursion from the left end, then start advancing from left to right in a series of

steps, each equal to one pica character width (l/lo”). When the print head reaches the desired left margin position, release both switches. The printer will beep to indicate that the margin has been set.

Right margin: NLQ Type Style and Paper Feed switches

You can also set the right margin.

1.Press the On Line switch to set the printer off-line.

2.Press the NLQ Type Style switch and hold it down.

3.Press the Paper Feed switch. The print head will travel to the right end of the carriage, then start advancing from right to left in a series of l/10” steps. When it reaches the desired right margin position, release both switches. The printer will beep to indicate that the margin has been set.

Clearing the buffer: Print Pitch, On Line and Paper Feed switches

When DIP switch 2-1 is ON, the printer stores received data in a large memory buffer. This creates a problem when you want to abandon a printing job and restart: the printer may be holding much more data in its buffer

than it has actually printed, and this unprinted data must be cleared out

before restarting. Turning power off is one way to clear the buffer, but there is another way:

1.Halt the printing program on the computer. If printing stops imme- diately, the buffer is clear and the rest of this procedure is unnecessary. If printing does not stop, continue as follows:

2.Press the On Line switch to set the printer off-line. Printing will now stop, but there may be data remaining in the buffer.

3.Press the Print Pitch switch and hold it down.

4.Press the On Line switch and hold it down.
