4 Control Panel Operation
General functions for the keys are clearly designated on the Panel label. Some other special settings
need pressing multiple switches simultaneously or holding some keys when powering on the printer.
This Chapter will describe the functions of the keys and display (LCD) on the Panel.
4.1 Operation of the LCD Panel
◆
The
Online
mode is the printer’s normal operating mode. Data from your computer can be
received and printed.
◆
In the
Offline
mode the link between printer and computer is interrupted, i.e. no data can
be received and printed.
◆
In the
Setup
mode you can either select the printer menu or carry out the quick-switch
function. The quick-switch option was included so that you can change the most important
parameters (for example adjustments, character density, font, paper path, adjustments
directly without having to enter them via the menu. The settings for the parameters character
density and font are lost when the printer is switched off. They can be selected permanently in
the menu mode of the printer.
◆
In the
Menu
mode further printer settings (line spacing, size of the interface buffer etc.) can
be altered and saved permanently.
4.1.1 The LC display
The LC display tells you all the important printer settings and informs you which functions are
currently assigned to which keys.
The upper line informs you that the printer is either in online or offline mode (in the example
below the printer is in the Online mode), and the selected paper path (below:
TrFront
= tractor
front mode).
