6.1 Setting Time and Date
Inside the control panel, in the ceiling of the printer compartment you will find 
two toggle switches near the back (See Error! Reference source not 
found.). The right toggle switch is a two-position switch (Program switch) that 
puts the indicator PROGRAM TIME AND DATE or NORMAL modes. Pull the 
program switch ahead to put the system into indicator PROGRAM TIME AND 
DATE mode. Push the switch toward the back of the box to resume NORMAL 
operation.

described above.

example June 16, 2002 would be entered as: 
[2][0] [PRINT/SELECT] 
[1][6][0][6][0][2] [PRINT/SELECT]

keystrokes (about 4 seconds). If the indicator goes back to GROSS mode 
before you get the entire date entered you must type

about 5 seconds, then release. The indicator will automatically repeat your
