Description of the Key Functions
The keys can have dif fer ent functions depending on the status – normal operation or print settings menu. The time
for which the button is held down is also an issue.
Feed / Enter (5)
Thr ough this key , the printer can be r eactivated fr om sleep mode, and the paper can be transported forwar d.
When the feed key is pr essed, the printer will first feed one line of the set font. If the key is held down for mor e
than 2 seconds, it will feed continously .
Self T est
With a self test, the inner function of the printer is tested by starting a printout. For this, the paper feed button (5)
{FEED} is held down for at least 3 seconds, while the printer is being r eactivated fr om power -of f. The interfaces
ar e not checked at this time. The softwar e version and the character set ar e printed. For OEM, special printouts
can be activated during a self test.
OFF / NEXT Key (3)
By holding down the OFF/NEXT key for mor e than 3 seconds during operation, the pr ocessing of batch file T2 is
initiated. In µ-P flash, the command for power -of f (after 1 second) is filed in batch file T2. This way , this key is pr o-
grammed as an OFF button for the printer (contr oller with power -of f mode).

The most important settings of the printer can be changed with a few key str okes using the OPD-Menue
®
(OnPa-
perDisplay).
They can be called at any time, and can be quickly understood with the menu printout.
The inconvenient accessing of DIP switches and the pr ogramming thr ough a terminal pr ogram ar e a thing of the
past.
The OPD-Menue
®
is operated with only two keys (OFF/NEXT and FEED/ENTER)
The OPD-Menue
®
is an editor of an initialization batch file "TMENUE" that is called befor e the "TINIT".
See chapter on batch files.
