Operation and Maintenance
Your
LQ-1500
is now set up. You’ve connected it to your computer
and set the switches. Now you’re ready to learn how to use the con-
trols and indicators on the printer to operate it correctly. We’ll also
give you some advice on how to maintain your LQ-1500 and keep it
printing smoothly for a long time.
Then, in Chapter
3,
you’ll learn how to install and load the paper
feeders which will give you an opportunity to use the controls dis-
cussed here.
Controls and Indicators
There are several controls and indicators on the LQ-1500 (see Figure
2-1). You use them to operate the printer and make your day-to-day
printing easier for you. Here’s what these controls do:
The power switch
The power switch is located on the left side (toward the rear) of the
printer. Press the front side of the switch to turn the printer ON; press
the back side to turn it OFF.
The control panel
The control panel, located on top of the computer, has indicator
lights and buttons which monitor the printing process. They are:
l
POWER light -- glows green when the power is ON.
• READY light -- glows green when the printer is ready to accept
data. The light flickers somewhat during transmission. This flick-
ering is normal.
