If the Ready light is off, pressing Start/Stop turns on the Ready light
and the printer is ready to receive information.
When Alt + Reset is pressed, the printer returns to its power-on sta-
tus.
5. Print Buffer and Alt
Print Buffer prints the contents of the print buffer, if any. When the
Buffer indicator is on solid, the buffer contains a partial page of infor-
mation.
Alt is used to access the secondary function on the other buttons by
pressing and holding Alt while pressing another button.
Printhead Capping
The printheads are capped automatically after they have been in the
home position for a few seconds. When the printheads are capped,
a star (*) appears in the display. Do not turn the printer off without
the heads being capped. If the heads are left uncapped, the ink dries
out and print quality is affected.
Adjusting The Printhead Position Lever
The printhead position lever is the green lever attached to the car-
riage.
For optimum print quality, make sure this lever is adjusted according
to the density of the ink in the document and the thickness of the
paper being used. Setting the lever at position 1 sets the distance
between the printhead and the paper at the minimum distance.
Follow these recommendations:
Position 1: Use for normal documents with normal ink density on
the paper.
Position 2: Use for documents with densely inked graphics.
Position 3: Use for envelopes or thick paper, or for documents with
very densely inked graphics.
