Operating the Control Panel
SelecType
When the printer is on line, the FORM FEED button is used to select
the character font. The two orange indicator lights show which font
is currently selected. (See the description on the tractor cover label
or the SelecType sticker.) You can put the SelecType sticker on the
printer cover or the front cover provided with the optional cut-sheet
feeder. You’ll find the sticker inside the user’s manual.

The control panel also gives you access to several special functions.
Self test: The self test lets you check that your printer is
operating properly and gives you a printout of the
current DIP-switch settings. See the section on
testing the printer in Chapter 1 for more
information.
Data dump:
The data dump mode allows advanced users to find
the cause of communication problems between the
printer and application programs. The data dump
mode is explained at the end of this chapter.
