Time Out For Emergency Training

CAUTION: If you make a typing error which causes the program to crash, or

look weird, be sure to turn the Printer OFF then ON again before running the

corrected program. The reason is, the faulty program may have sent an un-

wanted code "down the line". It may even have sent something unpatriotic

like " d o n ' t listen to the computer". The Printer will reset itself to "normal"

by our simply turning it O F F and ON.

It may also be necessary to shut the computer down COLD, and start over

from the beginning. The Printer has its own internal " c o m p u t e r " , and the two

computers talk to each other. If one should decide to throw a temporary snit,

we have to get in between them and cool things down. Doesn't happen often,

but as with any computer, a glitch on the power line or a static electricity

discharge can cause all sorts of heartburn. Best to know how to handle it

when it comes.
