WHILE TURNING ON THE POWER
Test print 1 (long form) - Holding down the Paper Feed key causes the printer
to output the full test print.
Test print 2 (short form) - Holding down the On Line key causes the printer to
output theabridged test print.
Hex dump - Holding down both the Paper Feed key and Mode key puts the
printer into the hex dump mode (more on this in the programming manual).
DURING NORMAL OPERATION
Micro-feed - Pressing the Paper Feed key while holding down the On Line key
feeds paper in the normal direction in 1/72” increments.
Reverse micro-feed - Pressing the TOF key while holding down the On Line key
feeds paper in the reverse direction in 1/72” increments.
Right margin - When holding down the Mode and pressing Paper Feed keys the
print head goes to the right end immediately and returns to the left slowly. Releas-
ing the Paper Feed key sets the right margin to where the print head is.
Left margin - When holding down the Mode and pressing TOF keys the print
head moves to the right slowly. Releasing the TOF key sets the left margin to
where the print head is.
Other controls
There are other controls, not connected to the control panel board. Some of the
more important ones are:
POWER SWITCH - The switch that turns the printer on and off is at the back,
on the left side.
PLATEN KNOB - This knob is at the middle of the right side and lets you turn
the platen by hand, just like a typewriter.
Caution: Turn this knob only with the Power switch off. Turning it with the power
on could damage the platen drive gears.
RELEASE LEVER - The release lever is on top of the pritner, near the left rear
corner. You’ll be using it often - it controls how strongly the paper is held against
the platen. The release lever has four positions: the top setting is used for inserting
paper, the next is for single sheets, the third is for sprocket-feed paper, and the
bottom one is used when adjusting the paper.
