CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL
4–7
SEL Switch
Pressing the SEL switch changes the state of the printer between on-line
and off-line. When the printer is on-line, the ON LINE lamp lights and the
printer is ready to receive data from the computer. When the printer is off-
line, the ON LINE lamp is off.
To receive data from the computer, set the printer on-line. To operate the
control panel switches, set the printer off-line.
When you press the SEL switch when the printer is the on-line state, it
turns off-line and the LCD displays the current emulation mode.
AUTO LaserJet 5
You can enter other emulations in the auto emulation mode by pressing
the ▲ (UP) or ▼ (DOWN) switch.
✒ Notes
When you press the SEL switch, remember the following:
• All other switches—except the SEL switch—are operational only
when the printer is off-line.
• If the printer is not in auto emulation mode, the LCD displays the
current emulation by pressing the SEL key to take it off-line, but you
cannot enter other emulation modes. To make settings in other
emulation modes, press the EMULATION switch and select the
emulation.
• The SEL switch works as a “quick exit” switch. If you are lost in the
display menus or you want to quickly exit the display menu, press the
SEL switch. You can exit quickly from any depth of the display menu
to the on-line ready state. If you have already made a setting effective
by pressing the SET switch and then press the SEL switch to quickly
exit, your setting (whether made by accident or on purpose) will
remain effective. Pressing the SEL switch will not cancel any setting.
