off. This means that the printer will ignore any codes sent
by the software that you are using. The Panel Modes allow
selection of the following printing attributes:
Key
Type of Panel mode
Mode Print quality (draft or NLQ)
Print Pitch Print pitch
TOF
Italic printing
pitch panel mode

holding the MODE key, and wait for the ON LINE indicator
glow. If you want to change the character, press the ON LINE
