2.1 THE IDS 160 CONNECTORS, SWITCHES AND LEDS.
The front of the printer has 3 switches ( PRINT, AUX and PAPER FEED) and
2 light emitting diodes ( READY and PAPER).
The
PRINT switch activates a Print Request signal that can be sent to
the host device. Also an inquire character ( ASCII 05) is transmitted
when the PRINT switch is activated.
The
AUX switch is used in some of the special application modes.
The
PAPER FEED switch advances the paper. Holding the switch in
advances the paper continuously.
The functions of the
PRINT and AUX switches will change if any of the
Special Application modes are selected.
The
READY light indicates that the printer is ready for receiving print
commands. It turns off when the printer is busy. It FLASHES on and off
when the printer is in the test mode or if an error is detected.
The
PAPER light indicates that there is no paper in the printer. It
turns OFF when paper is properly in place.
On the rear of the printer is the Line connector, the
DATA I/O
connector, and the Power Switch.
Behind the access panel are a thumbwheel switch, a push button switch
(
ENTER SWITCH), and an LED(ENTER LIGHT). The switches are used to
select print features and the printer's mode of operation.
