In addition to the lights, the control panel has three touch-sensitive
rectangles. Their functions are:
ON LINE switches the printer between on-line and off-line status.

When the printer is on-line, the ON LINE light glows and the
printer is ready to accept data.
The following two functions work only when the ON LINE light is
off. If the ON LINE light is on, press ON LINE before you use these.
FF (Form Feed) advances continuous paper to the top of the next
l

LF (Line Feed) advances the paper one line at a time.

The control panel can also be used to turn on several printing func-
tions using a feature called SelecType, which is described in the next
chapter.
Using Your Printer
If you have a word processing or other commercial software pro-
gram, just load the program in your computer, follow the printing
instructions, and watch your HomeWriter- print.
If you plan to use your HomeWriter- for printing program list-
ings, load a program and use the appropriate listing command for the
programming language you are using. For the BASIC that is built in to
the Commodore computer, type the following:
OPEN9,4: CMD9: LIST
After the printer has listed the program, restore normal operation by
typing this:
PRINT#9: CLOSE9
You can now begin using the HomeWriter-10 with your software, or
you can find out about the special features of the printer in the next
chapters.
Note: If you need to print on the last 2 inches of single-sheet paper, see
Appendix C.
