Operating the Control Panel
Other control panel features
The control panel of your printer also gives you access to several
special functions.
Self test: Both a draft and Letter Quality self test function
are built into the printer. The self test printout lets
you check the current DIP switch settings and
operating status of the printer. You can start the
printer’s self test by holding down the
LINE FEED
button or the FORM FEED button while turning on
the printer. See the section on the self test in
Chapter 1 for more information.
Micro-adjustment:
Data dump:
By pressing the
FORM FEED
button immediately
after loading paper or when using short tear-off,
you can make fine adjustments to the loading and
short tear-off positions. These positions can be
adjusted only while the
MULTI-PART
light is
blinking. See the sections on adjusting the loading
position and using the short tear-off function later
in this chapter.
By holding down both the
LINE FEED
and
FORM
FEED buttons while you switch on the printer, you
turn on the data dump mode. This feature allows
advanced users to locate the source of
communications problems between the computer
and printer. See the section on using the data dump
mode on page 3-26 for more information.
