Codes and Commands
Button Function Descriptions:
The primary functions of each of the buttons are described below. These buttons may also have alternate
functions when the printer is in self-test and configuration modes.
* Button
®
The * Button is located on the front of the printer. Since the POSjet
1500 has been designed to remain connected to
a power source at all times, the * Button does not disconnect power to the printer, but instead switches the printer
between OPERATIONAL/ON and STANDBY/OFF modes. When the printer is in the OPERATIONAL/ON mode,
the green
will be illuminated. None of the keypad indicator lights are illuminated when the
printer is in the STANDBY/OFF mode.
The printer will always remember the current mode that it is in when power has been disconnected and then re-
connected. For example, if the printer is in STANDBY/OFF mode and the power cord is unplugged and re-
connected to the printer, it will remain in STANDBY/OFF mode. If the printer is in OPERATIONAL/ON mode and
the power cord is unplugged and re-connected to the printer, it will remain in OPERATIONAL/ON mode.
NEW CARTRIDGE Button
The
Button works with the
and right ink cartridge indicator lights to allow an operator to
monitor and replace ink cartridges as ink levels become low. The primary functions of the
Button are:
Cartridge Status Monitoring
Ink usage is monitored by the printer. When the ink supply is low, the indicator light for the left or right cartridge
will blink. After replacing the cartridge(s), press the
Button to inform the printer that a new
cartridge has been installed.
Note: The printer cannot distinguish between a new, full cartridge and a used cartridge. When a cartridge is
replaced, the printer will reset the ink status to full when the
Button is pressed. Used cartridges
should be discarded to assure that they are not re-installed into the printer
Printing Cartridge Status
Press the
Button to print the current status of the ink cartridges. This function is only available
when the printer is in OPERATIONAL/ON mode, with paper and cartridges installed, and covers closed. It will not
remove an ink low warning unless the cartridge has been replaced.
Printing Ink Remaining Status
Pressing the
Button once without changing the cartridge will print the ink status. It will not
remove the ink low warning unless the cartridge is removed and replaced while the low indication is being
displayed. If the cartridge is replaced with a used cartridge, the
Button should not be pressed.
FEED Button
The
Button is used to advance paper. If an inserted form is present in the printer, the FEED Button will move
the form in a upward direction. If no form is present, the receipt paper will be advanced.
Pressing the
Button momentarily will feed one line at a time. Pressing and holding the FEED Button will feed
paper continuously until it is released. The receipt paper may be fed in the reverse direction by pressing and holding
the
Button and the
Button at the same time. The reverse feed function is mostly used
while fixing a paper jam.
Form Button
The
Button is used for inserted form operations. Pressing the
Button with no form inserted in the
printer activates the automatic form loading function. The printer will flash the
