Leff margin: NLQ Type Styleand Print Pitch switches
Softwarealmost alwaysprovidescommandsfor controllingthe 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. Pressthe On Line switch to set the printer off-line.
2. Pressthe NLQ Type Style switchand hold it down.
3. Pressthe Print Pitch switch. Theprint head will makeashort excursion
from the left end, then start advancingfrom left to right in aseries of
steps,each equal to one pica character width (1/10”). When the print
head reaches the desired left margin position, release both switches.

Clearing the buffer: Print Pitch, On Lineand Paper Feed switches
When DIP switch2-1 is ON, the printer stores received data in alarge
memorybuffer. Thiscreates aproblemwhenyou wantto abandon aprinting
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
beforerestarting. Turning power off isone wayto clear the buffer, but there
isanother 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 doesnot stop, continue as follows:
2. Press the On Line switchto set the printer off-line. Printing will now
stop, but there may be data remainingin the buffer.
3. Pressthe Print Pitch switch and hold it down.
4. Pressthe On Line switch and hold it down.
