FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

The following section describes the front panel controls and indicators on your-printer, together with a description of the functions performed by them.

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

The following is a brief guide to the controls and indicators on the front panel.

The printer is equipped with six buttons: from left to right they are, ~53,

8s and 5-8 (smaller buttons), and ~=vE&, :W.PERand C-iii;: (larger buttons).

Indicators

The first three buttons have a series of indicators next to them which show which option has been currently selected using them (font, mode or pitch). Some of these indicators can be either orange or green, depending upon the options currently selected.

There is no indicator associated with the C~EKI button (as its operation is obvious when paper has been inserted), but the C=EC and :. 0~~3 buttons both have indicators embedded in the buttons themselves. The indicator embedded in the @I@!5 button, however does not indicate paper feed directly, but indicates (when illuminated) whether Quiet mode has been selected (see below). The C~YYC button also has an embedded indicator. Pushing the ,: WY---!\ button will alternately set the printer on- and off-line and illuminate or extinguish the indicator.
