CHAPTER 3
Understanding the MAXX 2 Control Panel
MAXX 2 power up sequence
When the MAXX 2 is turned on it initializes the axes and then displays the firmware version
number followed by the Ready message. Do not press any of the control panel keys when you
first turn on the MAXX 2. Wait until the
Ready to Print Job
message or a prompt is displayed.
Entering menu selections
When the display is showing printer status, such as
Ready to Print Job
, press MENU on the
control panel to open the Main menu. The display is:
< Bay Status
< Job Queue
< Setup
< Service
Message lines preceded by the “<” symbol indicate that pressing the key results in an action or
displays submenus. For example, if you press the function key corresponding to the
< Setup
message line, the display changes to:
< About Printer
< Language
< Units
< Connection
Pressing the function key corresponding to
< Units
changes the display to:
< Set English Units
< Set Metric Units
Pressing the function key for one of the choices activates it.
Starting jobs
Starting jobs is controlled by the RUN CONT and RUN SINGLE keys. When you send a job to
the printer from the GSPPlot program, the lights over the two keys blink alternately. Pressing
either one of the keys starts the printing sequence and the light is on over the pressed key to
indicate the active printing mode.
Run single mode
In the run single mode, the MAXX prints one job and stops (even if more than one job was sent
to the printer). When you press RUN SINGLE, the light over the key is on and the light over the
RUN CONT key is off. When the job is complete, the light goes off if only one job was sent to
the printer. If more than one job was sent, when the job is complete the lights over the two keys
blink alternately to alert you that another job is in the queue for printing. To start the next job,
press either the RUN CONT or the RUN SINGLE key.
