2. CONTROL PANEL
The buttons and indicators on the control panel operate as follows.
Fig. 2-1
ON LINE switch/indicator
Press the button to toggle the printer online or offline. The indicator lights up to
indicate that the printer is online. When the printer goes offline, it ceases printing
and becomes unable to receive data from the host.
NOTE: If the print head overheats during long continuous use, the printer
automatically stops printing and the ON LINE indicator begins to flash.
The printer will automatically resume printing when the print head cools
down.
FEED switch
This button generates continuous or full paper feed, depending on the setting of
Memory Switch. The FEED switch operates regardless of whether the printer is
online or offline. If Memory Switch is set to Start-position detect = OFF, hold the
FEED switch down to feed paper continuously. Paper feed stops when you release
the button. If Memory Switch is set to Start-position detect = ON, each press of
the FEED switch feeds the paper to the next top position.
POWER indicator
Lights up to indicate that the printer’s power is on.
HEAD UP indicator
Lights up to indicate that the print head unit is unlocked. Do not try printing while
this indicator is on. If this indicator comes on suddenly during printing, it is likely
that a paper jam has pushed the print head unit out of position.
