The control panel
The control panel keys are used for controlling your work with the printer. The
control panel is located on the front right side of your printer and consists of a
two-line liquid crystal display and six keys.
The functions of the keys depend on the printer’s current mode (status). There
are four basic modes.
► 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 so-
called 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 i.e. head gap) 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.
