PAPER ADVANCE
Performs advance to top-of-form or line feed, depending on how
long the key is pressed. Pressing this key quickly will perform a line
feed. Holding the key down for more than 1/2 second will advance
the paper to the next top-of-form. In online mode, only an advance
to the next top-of-form will occur.
•
If there is data in the printer buffer, the data will print and then
the paper will move to the next top-of-form.
•
In the fault state, PAPER ADVANCE does not advance the
paper to the next top-of-form; instead, it will slew the paper 11
inches.
VIEW / EJECT
Executes the view or eject function, depending on how long the key
is pressed
.
When the VIEW/EJECT key is pressed quickly, the view
function is executed. When it is held down for longer than 1/2
second, the eject function is executed.
View Function — Press and release VIEW/EJECT quickly to move
the last data printed to the tractor area for viewing. While in the
view state, the
=
or
>
keys can be pressed to adjust the paper up
or down in 1/72 inch increments. Press VIEW/EJECT a second
time to move back to the adjusted print position.
Eject Function — In offline mode, holding VIEW/EJECT down for
longer than 1/2 second will invoke the eject function. The amount of
paper advanced is determined by the eject mode selected in the
configuration menu; the standard setting will slew the paper two
11-inch pages. See page 230 for a detailed description of each of
the eject functions.
NOTE: Pressing ON LINE also moves the paper back to the
adjusted print position and returns the printer to online
mode. If you press PAPER ADVANCE while in view or
eject function, the paper will return to the adjusted print
position and then perform the paper advance motion.
