Operating the Control Panel
Each of the three buttons on the LQ control panel (see Figure
1-12) has two functions-the functions marked in blue (ON LINE,
LETTER QUALITY, and DRAFT) are active when the printer is on
line;
the functions marked in black (OFF LINE, FORM FEED, and
LINE FEED) are active when the printer is
off
line.
The printer is on
line when the ON LINE light is on; it is off line when the ON LINE
light is off.

OFF LINE/ON LINE
OFF LINE--If you press this button when the green light beside it is
on, the ON LINE and READY lights go off, the print head moves to
the center of the platen, and the printer is set
off line-the
power is still
on but the LQ won’t print. This enables the form feed and line feed
functions to work.
