2.1.1 Printer Operating Buttons
Ready/Pause Button
Pressing and releasing this button toggles the printer between Pause and
Ready states.
In normal operation, when the printer is ready, the Ready indicator is on.
When the printer is in Pause, the Ready indicator blinks.
If you press this button while the printer is printing, the indicator changes
immediately, but allows the printer to complete to the end of the line.
LF/Protocol Button
The effect of this button depends on the state that the printer is in:
•
When the printer is in the Ready state, pressing this button advances
the paper by one line.
•
When the printer is in the Pause state, pressing this button toggles the
protocol selection mode between the port-dependent mode and the various
other modes (DEC PPL2, PP III, FX/Option; see the heading Protocol
Indicators in Section 2.1.2).
The Protocol indicators reflect the current selection, and the following
sequence is used when you press the LF/Protocol button:
1. Port-dependent mode: the protocol indicators that are assigned to a
port blink in phase with the related port indicators.
2. DEC PPL2 Protocol selected: DEC indicator is on.
3. IBM PP III protocol selected: PPIII indicator is on.
4. The resident Epson FX-1050 emulation or the optional card emulation
selected: FX/Option indicator is on.
Protocol change can only take place if the input buffer is empty (the data
indicator is off).
Parking Button
When the printer is paused, in Push Tractor mode, pressing this button puts
the paper into a parking position. Parking enables you to switch between rear
loading and single-sheet loading of the printer.
FF Button
Pressing the FF button advances the paper to the top of the form, ready for
printing.
