ON LINE button

The ( ON LINE ) button sets the printer on-line and off-line. The state changes each time you press the button.

In the on-line state the printer receives data from the computer and prints the data. In the off-line state the printer stops printing and sends the computer a signal indicating that it cannot accept data.

The printer powers up in the on-line state if paper is present. If paper is not present, the printer powers up off-line with the POWER indicator flashing. When you load paper the POWER indicator stops flashing, but the printer remains off-line. To start printing you must press the ( ON LINE ) button go on-line.

The three main times when you will want to press the< ON LINE )button are:

•Before and after any other panel operation

The other panel buttons operate only in the off-line state. First press the ( ON LINE )button to go off-line, then perform the panel operation, then

press the ( ON LINE >button again to go back on-line.

•To pause during printing

If you press the ( ON LINE ) button during printing, the printer stops printing and goes off-line, allowing you to check the printout or change a

control panel setting. Printing resumes when you press the ( ON LINE ) button again to go back on-line.

•To cut fanfold forms at the end of printing

When using fanfold forms, if you hold the ( ON LINE )button down for one second, in addition to go off-line the printer feeds the paper about two inches forward, allowing you to cut it off just below the last line printed.

When you press the C ‘ON LINE )button again to go back on-line, the paper feeds backward about one inch, stopping in the right place to resume printing.
