OPERATING THE PRINTER
Printer Control Panel & MENU Features
The printer control panel keys can be used to access various functions that help the operator control the printer.
These functions and their operation are as follows:
ENTER key
The ENTER key is used to start/stop media feed. When the printer is placed in any of the Menu modes, the
ENTER key is used to choose the options available in the Menu.
Tip: To allow the printer time to finish printing pieces currently under the print carriage, use the ENTER key to
stop media feed, before taking the printer off-line.
Media Transport (Paper Feed) Test: Pressing ENTER when the printer is off-line, will activate the Paper Feed
Test feature (media will be fed without printing).
TEST key
Pressing the TEST key momentarily, places the printer in the test print mode. The word "Working" appears in
the lower half of the display and after a short period of time the display changes to "Enter to feed". Pressing the
ENTER key will start the feeding process (test images printing). To stop feeding press, ENTER again.
To restore the printer to the normal ready mode press the ON LINE key to take the printer off line and then
press and hold the RESET key until the LED on the TEST key blinks. The printer is then restored to its normal
ready state.
Pressing and holding the TEST key will place the printer into the "Service Menu".
Service Menu: Pressing and holding the TEST key will cause the printer to enter into the "Service Menu" where
the various functions of the printer can be tested. To exit the "Service Menu", turn the printer OFF, then ON
again. The service menu is primarily used by service technicians to diagnose problems, should they occur. You
can use the "+" or "-" key to scroll through the menu. Pressing the ENTER key will test the function. To
restore the printer to its normal mode, turn it OFF then ON.

momentarily pressing the MENU key. Use the "+" or "-" keys to access the features. The features available
under this mode of operation are as follows:
