Operating the Control Panel
Other control panel features
The control panel of your printer also gives you access to several
special functions.
Self test:
Micro-adjustment:
Data dump:
Both a draft and Letter Quality self test function
are built into the printer. The self test printout lets
you check the current DIP switch settings and
operating status of the printer. You can start the
printer’s self test by holding down the LINE FEED
button or the
FORM FEED
button while turning on
the printer. See
the
section on the self test in
Chapter 1 for more information.
By pressing the FORM FEED button immediately
after loading paper or when using short tear-off,
you can make fine adjustments to the loading and
short tear-off positions. These positions can be
adjusted only while the
MULTI-PART
light is
blinking. See
the
sections on adjusting the loading
position and using
the
short tear-off function later
in this chapter.
By holding down both the LINE FEED and FORM
FEED
buttons while you switch on the printer, you
turn on the data dump mode. This feature allows
advanced users to locate the source of
communications problems between the computer
and printer. See the section on using the data dump
mode on page
3-26
for more information.
