The principle involved is that the printer will print a list of options on one line. You use the :?Z%C and C+ ~~~buttons to move the print head so that it is below the option you want to choose.

The printer will move the paper up and down as appropriate, so that the menu options are visible.

The ‘XEC button moves the print head one option to the left, and the T’- + button moves one option to the right (as marked in blue on the front panel under the buttons). Holding down one of these buttons will still move the print head only one option forward or back.
