Setting Line Spacing

P3040 Multinational printers can be set for a line spacing of 6, 8, or 10.3 lines per inch (lpi) from the
control panel by using the 6/8 LPI switch. To select the line spacing from the control panel, perform the
following steps.
1. Place the printer off line and raise the printer cover.
2. Press 6/8 LPI. The currently selected lpi setting displays.
3. Press NEXT, PREV, or 6/8 LPI to step through the 6, 8, and 10.3 lines–per–inch selections. The
light beside the 6/8 LPI switch lights when the selected line spacing is other than 6 lpi.
4. Press CLEAR when the desired line spacing setting is displayed. The printer is placed off line and
the display reads OFFLINE READY.
5. Close the printer cover and place the printer on line.
Line spacing can also be selected by sending line spacing control codes from the host computer as de-
scribed in the Programming chapter. Using control codes, the host computer can specify line spacing
other than 6, 8, or 10.3 lpi. Line spacing control from the host computer overrides the control panel
setting.

Printer Reset

This function resets the printer to the configuration values last saved (not factory default values), and
the current form position becomes the top–of–form. The printer can be reset to the power–up configu-
ration values at any time: on line, off line, or while printing. However, it is recommended that you reset
the printer only when it is off line to prevent the possible loss of data. The printer can also be reset
through the host. (Refer to the Programming chapter.)
To reset the printer, press CLEAR and RUN/STOP (R/S) simultaneously.
Information regarding Hex Code Printout, Running the Self–Test, and Fault
Condition Messages is located in the Routine Service and Diagnostics chapter.
