• TOF SET (ALT+PARK keys)
The TOF SET key is valid only when paper is loaded. When the TOF SET
key is pressed in the offline state, the TOF position is set to the top of the
ribbon guide, and the buzzer
sounds.
+ After two seconds, the paper is
fed backward so that the TOF
position is at the current
printing position.
Whe the TOF position is set, the
setting of “7 TOF ADJUST” is
changed to this set automatically.

• SETUP
When the SETUP key is pressed the printer enters the setup options. The
setup options are explained later in the "Basic setup options" section.
• QUALITY
This key is for selecting the print quality: LQ, NLQ, HQDR (high quality
draft), DRAFT, SD (speed draft), or SSD (super speed draft). To set your
desired print quality simply scroll and stop where your selection is
displayed. The printer beeps once for an acknowledgment.
Software commands can override the print quality setting of this key.
However, "#26 Quality Lock" option described on page 41 can lock-in the
selection by this key and disable software commands.
This key also selects the graphic print speed.
*The graphic print speed is selected only by “31 GRAPHIC QUALITY”
in the extended setup options.
• Others
The ←, →, ↓, ↑ EXIT and ENTER keys become effective only in the setup options entered by
pressing the SETUP key. For more information refer to "Basic setup options."
❏ Control Levers
