This value will remain unless you power off the printer. If you want to retain this value even after you turn off the power, store it using the Macro Definition function, which is described below.

Note that you can only change this value immediately after loading paper. If you feed paper, you cannot change the auto loading value.

Clearing the buffer/All reset

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 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 immediately, 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 > button to set the printer off-line. Printing will now stop, but there may be data remaining in the buffer.

3.Press and hold the( ON LINE > button.

4.While pressing the C ON LINE > button down, press and hold the (FONT) button. Continue holding these two buttons down. In one second you will hear a beep tone signaling that the buffer has been cleared.

If you hold these buttons more two seconds, you will hear three beep tones signaling that the printer has been initialized to the power-on default settings.

5.Release these buttons, make any necessary control panel settings, then set the printer back on-line.

It is essential to halt the printing program on the computer before you go off- line. Otherwise, when you go back on-line the computer will start sending data again and the printer will continue printing, with missing data where the buffer was cleared.

NOTE : If you are using the SPC-8K, Serial-Parallel Converter, reset the converter by pressing the red Clear button on it before you reset the printer.
