From this panel, you can control almost all printer functions. On the
LQ-2500 there aren’t any DIP switches to set or reset as on most
printers, because Se&Type controls these settings.
The four buttons on the panel have multiple names to control
different functions. Generally however, they control four areas of printer
operation:
On line/Off line
Paper feeding
Print quality/font selection
SelecType.
On line/off line
The
ON LINE
button switches the printer between the on line and off
line
states. In the on line state the display reads [ON LINE], which
means:
The printer can receive and print data, and the green ON
LINE,
POWER,
and
READY
lights are on.
You can enter the SelecType mode, using the
two ENTER SelecType
buttons.
You can use the
DRAFT
and
LQ
buttons to select between the two
types of print quality: draft and Letter Quality (if you select Letter
Quality you can also select among the LQ-2500’s five fonts-see Print
quality/font selection.)
In the off line state, the display panel reads [OFF LINE], which
means:
l
The printer cannot receive any data, and the green ON
LINE
and
READY
lights are off.
l
You can use the LINE FEED button to advance the paper. Pressing the
button once advances the paper one line: holding the button down
advances the paper continuously When the power is on, always use
this button to advance the paper.
