TOF KEY - Ejects the current sheet, feeds a new sheet, and
moves the print head to the left margin.
PAPER FEED KEY --Advances
the paper one line at a time
when the On Line indicator is off. If you hold the key down, you
can get consecutive
line feeds, one after the other.
ON LINE KEY and INDICATOR - Glows green when the
printer is ready to receive data from your computer
(on line).
When the printer is off line, it sends a signal to the computer in-

power switch on, the printer is placed on line automatically.

There
are twelve
