The Control Panel

SET TOF

Sets the top-of-form on the printer. This key is active only when the printer is
offline and will not operate if the printer is in a fault condition. The paper
moves down to the print position and aligns to the top-of-form. Refer to the

Quick Setup Guide

for complete instructions on how to set the top-of-form.

NOTE:

If there is any data in the buffer, the paper will move to the last print
position.

PRT CONFIG

In offline mode, PRT CONFIG prints the current short configuration. This key
requires a confirmation with the ENTER key; pressing any other key will exit
from this function. See “The Configuration Menus” on page 47 for an
explanation of configuration menus.

JOB SELECT

In offline mode, this key allows for fast selection of any of the previously
stored configurations. Pressing this key causes the printer to cycle through
the following messages: Load Config., Factory Config, Load Config 1, Load
Config 2, Load Config 3,...,Load Config 8.

ENTER

When navigating the configuration menus, ENTER selects the currently
displayed option value as the active value. An asterisk (*) appears next to the
active value on the display. ENTER is also used for starting and stopping
printer tests and generating a configuration printout.

NOTE:

The ENTER key must be unlocked in order to function.

See UP + DOWN, below.

key lock and unlock function can be configured to be a
