Time Out For Emergency Training
CAUTION: If you make a typing error that causes the program to crash, or
look weird, be sure to turn the printer OFF then on again before running the
corrected program. The faulty program may have sent an unwanted code
"down the line." It may even have sent something unpatriotic like "don't listen
to the computer." The printer will reset itself to "normal" by simply turning it
OFF and ON. (Yep -just like they had to do on the first space shuttle flight).
It may even be necessary to shut the computer down cold, and start over from
the beginning. The printer has its own internal "computer," and the two
computers talk to each other. If one decides to throw a temporary snit, we have
to get in between them and cool things down. It doesn't happen often, but as
with any computer, a glitch on the power line or a static electricity discharge
can cause all sorts of heartburn. Best to know how to handle it when it comes.

Now RUN.
There it is! We finally strapped these two pieces of high
and got us a real convoy.
GREETINGS FROM THE GRAPHIC
RUN it again. This time pull the paper bail forward to get a better look at the
print head in action.
