The control panel
The control panel keys are used for controlling your work with the printer.
The control panel is located on the front left side of your printer and con-
sists of a two-line LC 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 (adjustments, charac-
ter density, font, paper path, adjustments i.e. head gap) directly without
having to enter them via the menu. The character density and font
parameters can also be set permanently in the printer menu mode.
In the Menu mode further printer settings (line spacing, size of the interface
buffer etc.) can be altered and saved permanently.
