There are 11 LEDs, seven switches, and a buzzer on the control panel. Among these, seven LEDs and
three switches are for the panel setting function (SelecType). Font, character pitch, and condensed mode
can be selected directly using these switches. Settings set using the SelecType mode are stored in the
memory and are set on the panel when the printer hardware is initialized. Normally, the SelecType
function is valid when not printing. The printers have various other functions that can be selected from
the control panel.
Figure 1-16 shows the control panel.
