Each printer state (mode) will display its own operational
characteristics. These modes are defined as follows:
The online state is the normal operating mode of the printer where it
is ready to accept data from the host. There are functional
restrictions in this mode, to prevent interference with a print job that
may be in progress.
The offline state allows more operations including menu functions.
The fault state is a special case where a few options are available as
the machine is in a condition that may inhibit many operations. It
will allow operations that are required to clear the fault condition(s).
The normal exit, when a fault is corrected, is to press the Clear key.
The menu state is where the settings or configuration of the printer
may be altered.

Status Display

Depressing the Select key while online activates the status display.
The LCD cycles through and displays the current printer settings,
including Format, Font Style, Code Page, CPI, Interface, Printer
Emulation and I/F Emulation. Press the Clear key to terminate this
display.
