Second Function Switches
The operator panel has second function capabilities, and you can access them
by pressing the 2nd FUNC key with either the MODE, F/L, ADDR or TOF
switches. The printer configuration set at the factory will satisfy most
printing requirements. However, when it becomes necessary to modify the
way the printer responds to commands (printer reconfiguration) use the
second function features. See page 4–4for further information on
reconfiguration.
The second function switches also allow you to change print modes, set
forms length, top–of–form and print various self–test patterns. The following
descriptions outline the switches in more detail.
