Using the control panel
The control panel allows you to control the printer's var-
ious functions
and to see the printer's current set-up.
The control panel has more significance
for MS-DOS
users, since Windows
takes care of feature selections,
such as font selection. MS-DOS users must use the
printer's control panel to manage the printer's func-

Control panel
The panel has three keys: (FONT], [PAPER] and [READY). The
keys are pressed to select and control printer functions.
Sometimes
keys are pressed on their own and some-
times they are pressed in combination.
For example,
pressing the [FONTJ key on its own selects a font. Press-

feeds a sheet of paper through the printer.
The panel has seven green lights which give you infor-

When the printer is on, the green light on the right-hand
side of the panel indicates whether the printer is in
"ready" mode (ready to receive data from the computer),
or "not-ready"
mode (not ready to receive data). In "not-
ready" mode you can make changes to printer settings,
