FF Key (Form Feed) continued
When In a Fault Condition
Pressing the FF Key while in a Fault Condition advances the paper one form.
No data prints, and the Top of Form position is maintained. This allows the use
of the FF Key to advance paper while in a Paper Out condition, without print-
ing any buffered data.
TOF Key (Top of Form)
When you load paper, you line up the top of your form (usually the perfora-
tion) with the indicated position on the tractor (see Figure 2-6). Once the
paper is loaded, pressing this key moves the paper so that printing commences
at the proper position on the form.
View Key
Holding down this key moves the paper up so that you can see the last line that
was printed. If you press it while a job is printing, it will suspend the print job
until you release the key.
PRINT GAP + and - Keys
Pressing one or the other of these keys initiates a manual adjustment to the
current print gap. Pressing these keys can be used as a “shortcut” to get to the
Adjust display otherwise found by using the arrow and enter keys to select
Menu => Operator Menu => Print Gap => Adjust.
Up and Down Arrow Keys
When Online
These keys make fine adjustments to the Top of Form position.
When Offline
These keys position the paper in preparation for setting the Top of Form
position. (In this mode, these keys will auto-repeat if you hold them down).
They are also for scrolling through Menu items (see Menu key, next).
After making adjustments, it's not necessary to reset the Top of Form (unless a
different top margin is required for a new form).
In Operator, Config, or Test menus
The Up and Down Arrow keys scan lists of categories, parameters, and selec-
tions.
Menu Key
Pressing this key allows you to access menu selections, which you can scroll
through using the Up and Down Arrow keys. To go back one level in the
hierarchy, press the Menu key, i.e., pressing the Menu key returns you to a
previous selection. This key command is only available when the printer is in
an Offline mode.
