mode, print one page, and return to the offline mode. This action can be repeated until the end of a print

printer is placed in online mode.

In the fault state,  + ONLINE does not work.

 + ADVANCE (IPDS Emulation only)

In offline mode, press  + ADVANCE. The printer will perform a reverse linefeed. If you hold down the

 + ADVANCE keys for longer than 1/2 second, the printer moves to the previous top-of-form position.

If there is data in the printer buffer, the data does not print.

In the fault state,  + ADVANCE does not work.

online mode, print one line, and return to offline mode. This action can be repeated until the end of the

job. This function prints only one line of text. If the data is not text, only 1/6 inch prints. If there is no data

in the printer buffer, the printer is placed in online mode for one second and then returns to offline mode.

In the fault state,  + VIEW does not work.

Ribbon Life Indicator

The bottom of the LCD displays the remaining life of the currently installed ribbon. The default settings for

this feature should match the requirements for most applications; no special user setup is needed. If your

particular application requires darker printing or can tolerate lighter printing, the ribbon end point can be

adjusted as appropriate. Please refer Ribbon End Point on page 74.
