Basic Operations 4-3
Using the Display
The display has eight lines and one status line.
Reading the Status Line
The status line has the following indicators:
Indicator Description
F You have pressed the Fct key, and the printer is in Special Key
mode. This mode remains in effect through the next key press.
To return to Normal mode without accessing a function, press the
Fct key again.
A You have pressed the Alt key, and the printer is in Special Key
mode. This mode remains in effect until you enter a 3-digit
number. To return to Normal mode without entering a number,
press the Alt key again.
C For future use.
↑ You have pressed the Shift key once, and the printer is in Upper-
Case Alphabetic mode. This mode remains in effect until you
press the Shift key (moving to Lower-Case Alphabetic mode).
↓ You have pressed the Shift key twice, and the printer is in Lower-
Case Alphabetic mode. This mode remains in effect until you
press the Shift key again (moving back to Normal mode).
The printer is in Normal mode if no indicator is on the display.
Scanning Bar Codes
Your printer may have a built-in scanner.
When you scan depends on the application the printer is running. It will
most likely prompt you on the display to press a certain key (probably the
trigger). When you press it, you activate the scanner.
