Other Control Panel Features

The control panel of your printer also gives you access to several
special functions.
Self test:
Micro-adjustment:
Data dump:
Input buffer control: To enable or disable the input buffer, press the
Draft, SuperDraft, and Letter Quality self test
functions are built into the printer. The self
test printout lets you check the current DIP
switch settings and operating status of the
printer. You can start the printer's self test by
holding down the LINE FEED button (for draft
mode) or the FORM FEED button (for Letter
Quality mode) while turning on the printer.
See Running the Self Test in Chapter 1 for
more information.
By pressing the FORM FEED or LINE FEED button
immediately after loading paper or when
using short tear-off, you can make fine
adjustments to the loading and short tear-off
positions. These positions can only be adjusted
while the MULTI-PART light is blinking. See
Adjusting the Loading Position and Using
Short Tear-off later in this chapter.
By holding down both the LINE FEED and
FORM FEED buttons while you switch on the
printer, you turn on the data dump mode.
This feature allows advanced users to locate
the source of communications problems
between the computer and printer. See Using
the Data Dump Mode later in this chapter for
more information.
LOAD/EJECT button while you turn on the
power. The beeper sounds once if the input
buffer is disabled and twice if it is enabled.
