Operating the Control Panel
Other control panel features
The control panel also gives you access to several special functions.
Self test:
By holding down the
LINE FEED
button (for draft
mode) or the
FORM FEED
button (for Letter
Quality mode) while you turn on the printer,
you can start the printer’s self test. The self test
printout lets you check the current DIP switch
settings and operating status of the printer.
See the section on testing the printer in Chapter 1
for more information.
Data dump:
By holding down both the
LINE FEED
and
FORM
FEED
buttons while you turn on the printer, you
turn on the data dump mode. This feature
allows advanced users to find the cause of
communication problems between the printer
