Controlling the Printer
On when the printer is on.
On or flashes in combination with other lights to
indicate printing problems or errors. For help with
printing errors, see Chapter 4.
On when condensed mode is selected. In this mode,
the printer prints selected fonts at 60% of their width
so that more characters can fit on a page.
On when economy printing mode is selected. In
economy mode the printer uses less ink by printing
fewer dots per character. It also makes black printing
appear gray. Use this mode for rough drafts of text
only that are printed from DOS applications.
On when printing is paused and flashes when you
clean the print heads or replace a print head unit or
ink cartridge. Never turn off the printer when the
Pause light is flashing.
The Pause light also flashes when an error occurs.
Used alone or in combination with other buttons to
clean the print heads, replace the print head unit or
ink cartridge, and other functions.
