1. Press the On Line switch to set the printer off-line.

Left margin: NLQ Type Style and Print Pitch switches
Software almost always provides commands for controlling the margins,
so you will not usually have to set them from the control panel. When
necessary, however, you can set the left margin as follows.
1. Press the On Line switch to set the printer off-line.
2. Press the NLQ Type Style switch and hold it down.
3. Press the Print Pitch switch. The print head will make a short excursion
from the left end, then start advancing from left to right in a series of
steps, each equal to one pica character width (l/lo”). When the print
head reaches the desired left margin position, release both switches.
The printer will beep to indicate that the margin has been set.
Right margin: NLQ Type Style and Paper Feed switches
You can also set the right margin.
1. Press the On Line switch to set the printer off-line.
2. Press the NLQ Type Style switch and hold it down.
3. Press the Paper Feed switch. The print head will travel to the right end
of the carriage, then start advancing from right to left in a series of l/10”
steps. When it reaches the desired right margin position, release both
switches. The printer will beep to indicate that the margin has been set.
Clearing the buffer: Print Pitch, On Line and Paper Feed switches
When DIP switch 2-1 is ON, the printer stores received data in a large
memory buffer. This creates a problem when you want to abandon a printing
job and restart: the printer may be holding much more data in its buffer
than it has actually printed, and this unprinted data must be cleared out
before restarting. Turning power off is one way to clear the buffer, but there
is another way:
1. Halt the printing program on the computer. If printing stops imme-
diately, the buffer is clear and the rest of this procedure is unnecessary.
If printing does not stop, continue as follows:
2. Press the On Line switch to set the printer off-line. Printing will now
stop, but there may be data remaining in the buffer.
3. Press the Print Pitch switch and hold it down.
4. Press the On Line switch and hold it down.
