8000 Printer
Your Ithaca
®
8000 printer contains two buttons and three (LED) indicator lights. In
addition to power control and feeding paper, these two buttons can be used to perform
functions like self-testing, clearing errors and printer configuration. They are:
*
BUTTON
This is the standby or power down button, located on front face of the
printer‘s cabinet
FEED
Located on bottom portion of printer‘s keypad
*
Button
The Ithaca
®
8000 has been designed to remain connected to a power source at all
times. The
*
button on the Ithaca
®
8000 Printer does not completely remove power from
the printer. Because of this, the
*
button is used to alternately switch the printer between
OFF and ON modes. The
*
button does not disconnect power to the printer. The printer
is truly off only when the AC power supply is disconnected. You will notice that none of
the indicator lights will be on when the printer is in OFF. When the printer enters ON
mode, the green power indicator light will be activated. The operational state of the
Ithaca® 8000 can be determined by looking at the Power Indicator Light (LED).
When the
*
button is pressed or the power down command is received, the Ithaca
®
8000
Printer enters an OFF low power mode. The printer is not completely off, but is in
Standby mode
3
.
Standby mode is remembered even if the power is removed. Whenever power is turned
back on, the printer starts, performs Level 0 diagnostics, and re-enters Standby mode.
FEED Button
The
FEED
button feeds paper through the printer. By pressing the
FEED
button
momentarily, the paper will be fed one line at a time. Pressing and holding the
FEED
button will make the printer feed paper continuously until the button is released.
3
The printer draws about four watts of power in Standby.
