Control Panel Key Functions
Enter Key
In any of the menus, this key allows you to enter a lower level, to assign a selec- tion to a parameter, or to perform a menu function.
When the printer is in a Paper Out Fault condition, and the PrntEOF parameter is set to Off, pressing the Enter Key allows printing to the end of the current form. When PrntEOF is set to On, the printer automatically prints to the end of the current form.
Clear Key
In Operator, Config, Test, or Help Menus
Pressing this key returns the printer to Offline status.
When Online
Pressing the Clear key clears the panel of any errors that do not cause the printer to go Offline, such as "Parity Error."
When Offline
If the printer is in a clearable fault condition, the fault clears upon pressing the Clear key. If it's not in a clearable fault condition, pressing the Clear key brings up the Clear menu.
The Clear Menu
Clear Buffers
Clears all buffers. It also resets the application task to its initial state.
Clear Ribbon Count
When using the Ribbon Monitor feature, this selection must be used to clear the ribbon count when changing ribbons. See the RibbonMonitor and RibnMon Thresh setting in the Forms category of the Operator menu later in the chapter.
Clear All Configs
Copies the Default Configuration settings into all saved configurations. Any parameters not listed on the Configuration Report, such as special characters downloaded from the host computer, are unaffected.
Clear Current Config
Copies the Default Configuration settings into the current configuration. Any parameters not listed on the Configuration Report, such as special characters downloaded from the host computer, are unaffected.
Clear Reset
The printer controller performs a hardware reset. You may use this in lieu of cycling power to the printer. As with cycling power, the Powerup Configuration is loaded as the Current Configuration (see later in chapter).
