1.3  Operation Instruction

This section provides information on the LQ-2180 control panel buttons, 
LED, and operations. Since the layout and functions of the control panel 
are mostly common to those of LQ-2170, this section only shows the 
information that is specific to LQ-2180. For other information, see LQ-
2170 Service Manual.

1.3.1  Control Panel

The control panel of this printer consists of the power switch, 6 non-lock 
type buttons, and 10 LEDs. The appearance of the control panel is 
shown in the figure below.

Figure 1-2.  Control Panel

Operation at power on

Turning on the printer while pressing panel buttons executes the 
functions below:

Table 1-15.  Operations at Power On

NOTE: The area reset by the EEPROM clear is as shown in the 

next section. This operation, however, does not affect 
such adjustment values as Bi-d adjustment and TOP 
PE sensor adjustment.

1.3.2  Bi-directional Adjustment Function

In this mode, you can adjust the bidirectional alignment for the following 
three modes:

1. Bi-directional adjustment for draft mode

2. Bi-directional adjustment for draft copy mode

3. Bi-directional adjustment for LQ mode
