CHAPTER 3 BEFORE WORKING WITH THE PRINTER

Using the Panel Switches
The printer has a versatile control panel. It has two operation modes:
When you press the switches, they work in the NORMAL mode as
indicated above the switches. When you press the switches with the
SHIFT switch held down, they work in the SHIFT mode as indicated
below the switches. You can control the basic printer operations and
make various printer settings in the NORMAL and SHIFT modes.
