3.1 Using the Keypad in Keypad Mode
Some keys on the keypad perform a dual function, depending on whether
the printer is in Keypad Mode or Menu Mode. In Keypad Mode, the keys
perform the primary function labeled on the key, such as Test/Font or Reset.
NOTE: With the exception of
On Line
, all keys operate only when the printer
is off line. A ‘‘beep’’ sounds if any of these keys are pressed when the printer
is on line.
