Control Panel Buttons
ONLINE This button toggles the printer between the on line
and off line state. When the printer is on line, it
may be printing or may begin printing at any time.
To stop the printing or prevent printing from
starting, use this button to take the printer off line
(see “ONLINE Status Indicator” above). The
printer must be off line in order to use the other
control panel buttons.
This button is also used to place the printer back
on line following any error condition (ONLINE
indicator is flashing Red), such as paper out.
When pressed to go on line, the printer will first
attempt to clear any errors. For example, if there
is a paper out condition, the printer will attempt
to load the form in the currently selected tractors
and, if successful, go on line.
FORM FEED/LOAD
This button performs a number of different form
feeding functions. The printer will automatically
select the correct function to perform based upon
the current position of the form.
LOAD:
• Loads the form that has been selected with
the FORM SELECT button.
If a the selected form is already recognized
as “loaded” in the tractors, the printer will
position the tractors if necessary
(FormsMaster 8003se) and advance the
form to the print position.
If the selected form is not currently
considered to be loaded in the tractors
(display shows <Not Loaded>), this button
will change the status of this form to “loaded”
and the bottom line of the display will show
