OPERATION
1. Switches and indicators
There are three switches and four indicators (green LED’s) on the control panel
and one power switch on the right side of the Printer case. In this section, panel
operating procedures are covered in sufficient detail for the user to become
familiarized with the Printer. (See Fig. 28 for the control panel.)

POWER SW: Controls primary AC power to the Printer.
NOTE:
Before turning this switch on, check to see if the paper is prop-
erly set in the Printer.
Incorrect setting of the paper may prevent the Printer from
operating properly.
ON LINE SW: When this switch is depressed, the Printer enters the ON-LINE
mode and can be utilized in conjunction with a host computer.
Depressing the switch again will set the Printer in the OFF-LINE
mode. The switch does not function while the Printer is actively
engaged in printing. The Printer is automatically placed OFF-
LINE if the paper supply is exhausted or if a mechanical error
occurs in the Printer.
The operations of the Line Feed and Form Feed switches are
effective only while the Printer is OFF-LINE.
When the ON LINE switch is pushed while data is being re-
ceived, all data received up to then is printed immediately. This
is helpful to avoid data loss. If data has been transferred into the
print buffer without any print command such as CR, LF or VT
code, no data can be printed out on the paper. However, if the
ON LINE switch is turned off, the data stored in the print buffer
is printed out. Therefore, no data is lost when the Printer
becomes OFF-LINE.
