FONT SElTING

Pressing the .%Y button will illuminate a font indicator. Remember that the printer must be off-line for you to do this. Note that the selection of some fonts (shown in yellow on the front panel) is shown by an orange indicator, and the selection of others (shown in green on the front panel) is shown by a green indicator. Holding down the :FOVT,button will cycle continuously between the fonts available.

Font Panel Lock

If the ‘FONTbutton- is pressed when the printer is turned on, the font will be “locked”, and no font changes can be made from software. It is still possible, however, to put the printer off-line and change the font using the +oNi\l button.

QUIET MODE

To select Quiet mode, the printer must be on-line. While it is on-line, press the pp~pfi~~~~~button. This will alternately illuminate and extinguish the QUIET indicator. When in Quiet mode, the printer will print slightly slower, but at a reduced noise level.

NOTE

If you press the PAPERFEW button while the printer is off-line, the @GE3 button will perform its normal function, ie it will feed paper.
