28 Operation
Buttons
When the printer is selected (SEL light on), only the functions marked at the top of the
bank of buttons (LF, FF/LOAD, TEAR, PARK, QUIET) are in effect. When the printer
is deselected (SEL light off), the functions marked at the bottom of the buttons (Micro
Feed Down, Micro Feed Up, TOF) can be accessed by means of the SHIFT button.
Each button can have several functions, depending on the mode in use (Print Mode
or Menu Mode), on whether or not the printer is selected and on whether or not the
optional Cut Sheet Feeder (CSF) is installed. Most buttons also have a different func-
tion if they are pressed while the printer is being turned on. In addition, different
combinations of two buttons can be used to access functions.
The various function available for each button are summarized in the table below.
The PRINT QUALITY and CHARACTER PITCH buttons are discussed under
“Performing Basic Tasks,” later in this chapter.
