ON LINE button

The 1 ON LINE 1 button sets the printer on-line and off-line. The status changes each time you press the button.

When the printer is on-line, it can receive and print data from the computer.

When the printer is off-line, it stops printing and sends the computer a signal	-
indicating that it cannot accept data.
The printer powers up in the on-line status if paper is loaded. If paper is not	--
loaded, the printer powers up off-line with the PAPER indicator illuminating.	-
When you load paper, the printer goes on-line.	-
You will want to press the 1 ON LINE 1 button:
• Before and after any other panel operation	-
The other panel buttons operate only in the off-line state. Press the

press the I ON LINE 1button again to go back on-line.

•To pause during printing

If you press the L ON LINE 1button 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 I ON LINE J button again to go back on-line.

•To cut fanfold forms at the end of printing

When you hold the I	ON LINE	1 button down for one second with the
push tractor mode, the printer goes off-line, then the printer also feeds the
paper forward approximately two inches forward. This allows you to cut				-
it off just below the last line printed.
When you press the I	ON LINE	I button again to go back on-line, the	-	--

paper feeds backward stopping where you left off.

NOTE: This function is valid only when the buffer is empty.

If you also press the I ON LINE 1button while you am line-feeding, the paper wilI feed automatically to the top of the next page. This is explained later.
