ONLINE
Toggles the printer between online and offline modes. The key performs the following in Online, Offline,
Fault, and Menu modes:
•
Online Mode – sets the printer to Offline Mode.
•
Offline Mode – sets the printer to Online Mode.
•
Fault Mode – causes the printer to recheck the faults; if the faults are cleared, the printer toggles to
Offline Mode. If the fault condition is not corrected before pressing the ONLINE key, the fault
message reappears.
•
Menu Mode – sets the printer to Offline Mode.
NOTE: When changing to Online Mode, if the user has changed menu items without saving the changes
in a configuration, the user will be prompted to save the changes.
ADVANCE
Performs advance to top-of-form, as defined by the current active form length. The key works both online
and offline.
•
If online with data in the printer buffer, the data will print and then the paper will move to the next top-
of-form.
•
In the fault state, pressing ADVANCE will advance the paper. The first press moves to the top of the
next available form. All subsequent presses advances one forms length as defined by the current
active forms length.
VIEW
When the printer is online or offline, pressing this key executes the view or eject function, depending on
the setting of the menu View Function.
If online with data in the printer buffer, the data prints and the key functions as described below.
If in a fault state, this key will be ignored.
•
View Function — When the View Function menu is set to Enable, pressing the VIEW key for a short
time (less than 1/2 second) moves the last data printed to the tractor area for viewing. While in the
view state, the message "Printer in View" displays, pressing the UP or DOWN arrow keys moves the
paper up or down in 1/72 inch increments. This is done to align the image within a pre-printed form,
for example. Refer to the UP and DOWN key functions for additional details on the microstep feature.
Pressing VIEW a second time moves the paper back to the adjusted print position.
•
Eject Function — When the VIEW key is pressed and the View Function menu is set to Disable, or
when the View Function menu is set to Enable and the VIEW key is pressed for a long time (more
than 1/2 second), the bottom of the last printed form will move to the tear bar position as set by the
Tear Bar Dist. menu value. The message "READY TO TEAR/EJECT To Return" displays. While in
this position, pressing the UP or DOWN arrow keys moves the paper up or down in 1/72 inch
increments. Refer to the Up and Down key functions for additional details on the microstep feature.
When the VIEW key is pressed a second time, the printer will move the paper either forward or
backward to enable printing on the next available form.
CANCEL
In offline mode, this key cancels all data in the print buffer, if enabled in the ADVANCED USER Menu
(see page 190). The print buffer is cleared without printing any of the data and the current paper position
is set as the top-of- form. If this function is disabled, the CANCEL key will be ignored.
