Operating the Control Panel
Other Control Panel Features
The control panel of your printer also gives you access to several
special functions.
Self test: Both a draft and Letter Quality self test function
are built into the printer. The self test printout
lets you check the current DIP switch settings
and operating status of the printer. You can
start the printer’s self test by holding down the
LINE FEED button or the FORM FEED button while
turning on the printer. See Testing the Printer in
Chapter 1 for more information.
Micro-adjustment: By pressing the FORM FEED button immediately
after loading paper or when using short tear-off,
you can make fine adjustments to the loading
and short tear-off positions. These positions can
only be adjusted while the MULTI-PART light is
blinking. See Adjusting the Loading Position and
Using Short Tear-off later in this chapter.
Data dump: By holding down both the LINE FEED and the
FORM FEED buttons while you switch on the
printer, you turn on the data dump mode. This
feature allows advanced users to locate the
source of communications problems between the
computer and printer. See Using the Data Dump
Mode for more information.
