1.4 OPERATIONS
This section describes the basic operations of the printer.
1.4.1 Control Panel
The control panel for this printer has 1 lock-type and 5 non-lock-type pushbuttons, and 15 LED indicators for
easy operation of the various printer functions.
Buttons
Operate Turns the printer on or off. This button is in the secondary circuit of the
power supply. This lets the printer execute the head-capping function after
it receives the signal to turn off and before actual printer power down.
Alt Modifies the functions of other buttons. Holding down this button for 3
seconds causes the printer to move the carriage to the ink cartridge
installation position. Pressing Alt again causes the carriage to return to the
home position.
Font Cycles through the font choices. Pressing the Font button while holding
down the Alt button causes the carriage to move to the gap-adjustment
position. Pressing the Alt button again causes the carriage to return to the
home position.
Economy/Condensed Selects either economy or condensed printing mode. Pressing the
Economy/Condensed button while holding down the Alt button starts the
black printhead cleaning cycle.
Load/Eject Either loads a new sheet into the printer or ejects paper currently in the
paper path. Pressing the Load/Eject button while holding down the Alt
button starts the color printhead cleaning cycle.
Pause Stops printing temporarily or resumes printing if it has been stopped
temporarily. Pressing Pause while holding down the Alt button resets the
printer.
