Buttons

Power
This button turns the printer on or off.
The power button controls the secondary power supply circuit. Therefore, the primary
circuit remains active after power off. Do not connect the interface cable (even if printer
power is off) while the AC cord is connected. Otherwise, the circuit board or interface may
be damaged.
Pause
This button alternates between printing and non-printing states when there is data in the print
buffer. In the pause state, printing stops but communication with the I/F does not stop. Therefore,
even in the pause state, the printer receives data from the host until the input data buffer is full.
Pressing the Pause button while holding down the Alt button resets the printer.
Alt
This button is usually used with another button.
Holding down Alt for 3 seconds moves the printer carriage to the ink cartridge
installation position. Pressing Alt again returns the carriage to the home position.
LF/FF
This button feeds one line or a page.
Pressing LF/FF while holding down Alt starts the black printhead cleaning cycle.
Economy/Condensed
This button selects economy or condensed printing mode.
