Star Micronics XB24-15 Printer User Manual


 
QUIET MODE
To select Quiet mode, the printer must be on-line. While it is on-line, press
the ~?%YC button. This will alternately illuminate and extinguish the
QUIET indicator. When in Quiet mode, the printer will print slightly slower,
but at a reduced noise level.
NOTE
If you press the ‘1-n 4
button while the printer is off-line, the,?+X
button will perform its normal function, ie it will feed paper.
PAPER HANDLING
The following sections describe the ways in which you can control paper
feeding, etc by means of the front panel controls:
Form feed
A form feed can be achieved from the front panel in the following way:
1 Put the printer off-line, by pressing the #C&%1 button, so that the
indicator is extinguished.
2 Press the >=R EE button, and keep it depressed.
3 Press the 0~ ~5 button momentarily.
4 The paper will then move forward to the top of the next sheet (fanfold
paper), or eject a cut sheet.
5 Set the printer on-line again (‘- 0~ LIE :Z button) to resume printing.
Paper parking
Paper parking is useful if you am using fanfold paper, and you want to print
a document on one or two sheets of cut-sheet paper. The printer “parks” the
fanfold paper safely out of the way, so that you do not need to unload the
paper before inserting cut-sheet paper, then, when you have finished
printing on cut-sheet paper, moves the fanfold paper back to its original
position so that you can restart printing.
To use this facility, follow the instructions below:
1 Put the printer off-line (press the C~ @+1 button, so that the indicator goes
out).
