The Operator Control Panel
The online button and the button for receipt and journal line feed are part of the operator
control panel. All keys are locked or released by means of the command ESC c 5.
The foil on the online button can be replaced by one with country-specific lettering.
Online Button
This button switches between the “online” and “offline” modes. In normal operation the
printer is “online” and it is able to print data. When it is switched to “offline”, the printer
stops at the end of the current line. Possbile offline modes: error, paper end, and cover
open. The online button can be disabled with the command ESC c 6. When it is disabled,
the printer is in the “online” mode. This mode cannot then be changed by means of the
online button. After switching on the ND69 in the BEETLE /60 mode, the online key is
locked because the BEETLE /60 printer itself does not have an online key.
Receipt Line Feed Button
A line feed at the receipt station is executed when this button is pressed. The line spacing
corresponds to either the default value of 1/6", or it depends on the last command it
received, ESC 2 or ESC 3. The printer executes uninterrupted line feeds for as long as
the button remains pressed.
When the online button is released, the receipt line feed button can only be pressed if the
printer is in the “offline” mode. If the online button has been disabled, the receipt line feed
button is always active.
If the cover is closed, the line feeds are effected slowly (approx. 7 lines/sec). If the cover
is open, the line feeds are effected quickly.
