CHAPTER 3 PRINT

3-3

Switch

This

switch

will be used for the following purpose depending on the

situation.

Cancel printing

If you press the

switch

during printing, the machine immediately stops

printing and ejects the paper.

Wake-up

If the machine is in sleep mode, pressing the

switch

wakes it up into the

ready state.

Form Feed

If the

Data

lamp is on, press the

switch

. The machine prints any data

remaining in memory: this operation is called “Form Feed.”

Error Recovery

If an error occurs, the machine will recover from some errors
automatically. If the error does not clear automatically, press the

switch

to clear the error and continue machine operation.

Other Control Features

The machine has the following useful features:

Sleep Mode

When the machine does not receive data for a certain period of time
(time-out), it enters sleep mode. Sleep mode acts as though the machine
was turned off. The default time-out is 5 minutes. While the machine is in
sleep mode, all the

lamps

are off and it is as if it was turned off, but the

machine can still receive data from the computer. Receiving a print file or
document automatically wakes up the machine to start printing. Pressing
the

switch

also wakes up the machine.

Note

When the machine goes into sleep mode, the fan will not stop until the
machine engine has cooled down.

Sleep mode allows the print engine to cool, so the temperature of your
room and how long the machine has been in sleep mode affects the
warm-up time. This warm-up time can take up to 30 seconds. The

Ready

lamp blinks to indicate that the machine is warming up.

You can change the time out for the sleep mode with the supplied
printer driver or Remote Printer Console program. Refer to the Help
section in the printer driver or RPC program for more information
about the sleep mode setting.
