Operating States; The Configurations - Printronix P9212 Setup Manual

Operating States

The printer has two operating states: on-line and off-line. When the printer is
on-line, it is controlled by the host computer and prints data sent by the host
computer. In the off-line state, communication with the host is interrupted so
that you can load paper, change ribbons, or test and configure the printer.
NOTE: When the printer is on-line, it may display an "L" in the lower right

forms length, etc. Your printer contains the following configurations:

values.
•
