DEClaser 1100 Printer Control Panel

This chapter describes the operational modes, keys, and indicators of the
DEClaser 1100 printer.

2.1 Control Panel Modes

The DEClaser 1100 printer runs in either the online Ready or offline Ready
mode of operation. The online indicator shows the online or offline status. The
text 00 READY is displayed when the printer is ready to receive commands.
The online Ready mode means that the printer is ready to receive commands,
text, or font files from the host system. Most of the keypad keys are disabled
when the printer is online. If you press a disabled key, the control panel beeper
sounds and the key is ignored.
Note: The online Ready display text 00 READY can be replaced or modified
by a firmware emulation cartridge, for example, the PostScript option cartridge
that installs in font cartridge slot A.
The offline Ready mode means that the printer is ready to receive commands
from the control panel. You can activate any of the keypad functions shown in
Figure 2–2 when the printer is in the offline Ready mode.
