EPSON LQ-670 Note: Paper source settings (such as bin 1 or bin 2) made in your software override bin settings made with the Tear Off/Bin button, so use your software to make this setting whenever you can. Advanced Control Panel Functions Besides giving you control of the basic operation of the printer, the control panel allows you to enter the printer's default-setting and quiet modes, and to access several features helpful when troubleshooting. To use the functions below (in italics), turn on the printer while pressing the corresponding control panel button(s). Letter-quality self test = Load/Eject Performs a letter-quality self test, which helps you determine the source of some printing problems. See "Printing a Self Test" for details. Draft self test = LF/FF Performs a draft self test, which helps you determine the source of some printing problems. See "Printing a Self Test" for details. Bidirectional adjustment = Pause Turns on the bidirectional adjustment mode, which allows you to correct printing alignment problems. Hex dump = Load/Eject + LF/FF Prints the data sent to the printer in hexadecimal code, which helps experienced users determine the source of some printing problems. Default setting = Font Turns on the default-setting mode, which allows you to change the printer's default settings. For more information, see "Using the Default-Setting Mode." Quiet mode = Font + Condensed Turns on the printer's quiet mode, which lowers the noise level during printing. For more information, see "Using Quiet Mode." Reset buffer = Condensed + Tear Off/Bin Resets the printer to its factory settings. Using the Default-Setting Mode The default settings control many printer functions. While you can often set these functions through your software or printer driver, you may sometimes need to change a default setting from the printer's control panel using the defaultsetting mode. For a detailed description of the settings you can change in the default-settings mode, see the next section. For instructions on changing the settings, see "Changing the default settings." Default-setting Mode Options This section describes the options and settings available in the default-setting mode. Use the table below for quick reference when changing default settings.
