Key functions when
turning on the printer
Key functions when turning on the printer means that you must keep the
respective key depressed while turning on the printer. In this way you can
activate three functions:
If you keep the Online key depressed while turning on the printer, you
enter the printer’s Self-Test mode. The Self-Test mode is described in
chapter 3 of this manual.
If you keep the Setup key depressed while turning on the printer, you
regain access to the printer menu if you had locked it before with the help
of the
MenLock function. The MenLock function is described in the Menu
description table at the end of this chapter.
If the four
function and select keys are depressed simultaneously while
turning on the power, all printer settings are reset to the default values
(except the settings for
basical TOF and L/R).
If function keys 1 and 2 and the Online key are depressed simultaneously
while turning on the printer, basic TOF and L/R can be adjusted. See the
description in chapter 3 of this manual.
Programming via the
control panel
Apart from being able to control your printer via the applications software
you use, you can also program the printer directly. There are two pro-
gramming options you can use:
●
Programming via the control panel and
●
Programming via the interface using Escape sequences or control codes
Programming via the interface gives you far greater freedom for
designing your printed pages, however, it is also a more sophisticated
method and requires some experience with programming languages.
All programming via the interface is lost after you turn off the printer,
whereas the programming carried out using the control panel, is saved and
stored even after you turn off the printer.
