Advanced Control Panel Functions; Using The Default-Setting Mode; Default-Setting Mode Options - Epson LQ 670 Product Information Manual

Note:
Paper source settings (such as bin 1 or bin 2) made in
your software override bin settings made with the Tear
Off/Bin button, so use your software to make this
setting whenever you can.

Advanced Control Panel Functions

Besides giving you control of the basic operation of the
printer, the control panel allows you to enter the printer's
default-setting and quiet modes, and to access several features
helpful when troubleshooting.
To use the functions below (in italics), turn on the printer
while pressing the corresponding control panel button(s).
Letter-quality self test = Load/Eject
Performs a letter-quality self test, which helps you determine
the source of some printing problems. See "Printing a Self
Test" for details.
Draft self test = LF/FF
Performs a draft self test, which helps you determine the
source of some printing problems. See "Printing a Self Test"
for details.
Bidirectional adjustment = Pause
Turns on the bidirectional adjustment mode, which allows
you to correct printing alignment problems.
Hex dump = Load/Eject + LF/FF
Prints the data sent to the printer in hexadecimal code, which
helps experienced users determine the source of some printing
problems.
Default setting = Font
Turns on the default-setting mode, which allows you to
change the printer's default settings. For more information,
see "Using the Default-Setting Mode."
Quiet mode = Font + Condensed
Turns on the printer's quiet mode, which lowers the noise
level during printing. For more information, see "Using Quiet
Mode."
Reset buffer = Condensed + Tear Off/Bin
Resets the printer to its factory settings.

Using the Default-Setting Mode

The default settings control many printer functions. While
you can often set these functions through your software or
printer driver, you may sometimes need to change a default
setting from the printer's control panel using the default-
setting mode.
For a detailed description of the settings you can change in the
default-settings mode, see the next section. For instructions on
changing the settings, see "Changing the default settings."
