The
PAPER OUT
light glows red to indicate that the printer is out of
paper or the paper is loaded incorrectly. If you try to print and the
printer does not respond, check to see if this light is on.
l
The
ON LINE
light glows green when the printer can receive data.
(The
ON LINE
light is located on the
ON/OFF LINE
button.)
Buttons
The buttons, or touch-sensitive panels, have several functions, including
selecting draft or NLQ (Near Letter Quality) printing. Draft is good for
quick printing of ordinary work, and NLQ has more fully-formed
characters for final copies or special purposes. NLQ is available in both
Roman and Sans Serif fonts.
The printout below shows the differences among draft, NLQ Roman,
and NLQ Sans Serif so that you can compare the different styles and
densities:
Draft printing
is extremely fast.
NLQ Roman is clear and typewriter-like.
NLQ Sans Serif is crisp and distinctive.
See Chapter 3 for more information on these modes and ways to select
them.
l
ON/OFF LINE.
This button switches the printer between on line and
off line status.
l
NLQ/FORM FEED.
When the printer is off line, pressing this button
advances continuous-feed paper to the top of the next form or ejects
a single sheet. When the printer is on line, pressing this button selects
NLQ (Near Letter Quality) printing.
Pressing the
FORM FEED
button when the printer is
ON LINE
alternates
the NLQ font between Roman and Sans Serif. When NLQ Roman is
selected, the beeper sounds twice. When NLQ Sans Serif is selected,
the beeper sounds three times.
