Operator Function Buttons
 RESET
This button initializes the ULTRA to its power-on state. RESET must be
pressed after any dip switch setting is changed. It must never be pressed
during a print operation, because data will be lost, and an error message
may be sent to the host computer.
When dip switch A2 is in the ON (down) position and the RESET button is
pressed, the ULTRA will output a Printer Test. When dip switch A8 is in
the ON (down) position, pressing RESET will place the ULTRA in auto
buffer report mode. When dip switch B7 is in the ON (down) position,
pressing the RESET and CANCEL buttons will cause the ULTRA to output
a Translate Table Report. When dip switches B6, B7 and B8 are in the ON
(down) position, pressing RESET will place the ULTRA in alternate host
buffer dump mode.
Pressing RESET is also necessary to exit any of these diagnostic modes and
to return to normal operating mode after the dip switches have been
returned to their normal locations. Refer to Section 4  Troubleshooting
for more information on printing reports.
 PA1 and PA2
In SCS mode, these buttons allow the user to communicate with the host
computer. The functions performed by the buttons are installation-
dependent, based upon the application being used.
If not in SCS mode, these buttons are ignored, except that they can be
programmed to send user-defined function strings to the printer. Refer to
Section 6  Programmable Function Strings for more information.
The HOLD PRINT button must be pressed before using the PA1 or PA2
buttons. ENABLE PRINT must be pressed after PA1 or PA2 to resume
printing.
 LINE FEED
This button outputs one line feed command to the printer, and it adds to the
line count for the form feed function if Option #2 is not set to infinite page
length. Refer to Section 5  Configuration Options for more information
on infinite page length.
The HOLD PRINT button must be pressed before using LINE FEED.
ENABLE PRINT must be pressed after LINE FEED to resume printing.
