OFF LINE/ON LINE
OFF LINE-If you press the ON LINE button when the green light
above it is on, the ON LINE and READY lights go off and the printer is
set off line-the power is still on but the FX-286 won't print. The
FORM FEED and LINE FEED functions work only when the printer is
off line.
ON LINE-The green ON LINE light indicates that the printer is on
line and ready to receive data. If the READY light is also on, the
FX-286 is ready to print (if it's connected to a computer). You may
notice that the READY light flickers when the FX-286 is printing, but
this is normal. When the FX-286 is on line, you can select either NLQ
(Near Letter Quality) or draft modes.
FORM FEED/NLQ
FORM FEED--Pressing the FORM FEED button advances the paper
to the top of the next page if you're using continuous-feed paper (see
Step 7, "Setting the Top-of-Page Position"). If you're using single-sheet
paper, it fully ejects one sheet. The FORM FEED function works only
when the printer is off line.
NLQ (Near Letter Quality&--Pressing the NLQ button selects the
Near Letter Quality typestyle (for more information on NLQ; see the
shaded box). The printer beeps twice to acknowledge the NLQ selec-
tion. You can select the NLQ typestyle with the NLQ button only
when the printer is on line.
LINE FEED/DRAFT
LlNE FEED--Pressing the LINE FEED button advances the paper one
line at a time, either while you're loading paper, or when you're
adjusting where you want printing to begin. If you hold the LINE
FEED button down, the paper advances continuously. The LINE
FEED function works only when the printer is off line.
DRAFT-Pressing the DRAFT button selects the draft typestyle. The
printer beeps once to acknowledge the draft selection. The draft mode
is also the default setting for the FX-286, so every time you turn the
printer on, it's set to print in the draft mode. The DRAFT button
works only when the printer is on line.
