Occasionally you may wish to cancel one or more modes with SelecType instead of resetting the printer with power switch. T o cancel all modes controlled by SelecType, simply enter SelecType mode and then press the FF button without pressing the ON LINE button. (This is the zero code from Table 2-l.) This is useful when you make a mistake while setting codes and want to start over again, and it does not interfere with top of page, user-defined characters, or other items that are not controlled by SelecType. If you do make a mistake while using SelecType, just press the LF button to turn off SelecType and then turn it on again and press the FF button before you press the ON LINE button. In fact, some users like to use the FF button to cancel any previous SelecType setting each time they use SelecType. If you want to be absolutely certain that no previous settings interfere with your use of SelecType, always press the FF button once immediately after you enter SelecType mode. For this procedure, after you press the ON LINE and FF buttons to turn on SelecType, press the FF button once, and then make and set your selection or selections as outlined at the beginning of this chapter. You can also cancel individual modes with SelecType if you wish. You do this with the same procedure that sets them. When a mode is already set, selecting it again cancels it, as demonstrated in the example below. Suppose that you have set emphasized and NLQ modes and then you decide that you don't want emphasized. You can either cancel all the modes and reset NLQ, or you can use the following steps to cancel emphasized and leave NLQ. 1) See that the ON LINE and READY lights are on. (Be sure that you do not touch the power switch and cancel all the modes.) 2) Press the ON LINE and FF buttons to enter SelecType. 3) Press the ON LINE button twice. (This is the code for empha- sized.) Notice that the ON LINE light is blinking and that it is on more than it is off. This tells you that the emphasized mode is set. 4) Press the FF button once. Now the ON LINE light is still blinking, but it is off more than it is on. This tells you that the emphasized mode is not set. 5) Press the LF button once to leave SelecType mode. F-5

Occasionally you may wish to cancel one or more modes with
SelecType instead of resetting the printer with power switch.
To
cancel all modes controlled by SelecType, simply enter SelecType
mode and then press the FF button without pressing the ON LINE
button. (This is the zero code from Table
2-l.)
This is useful when
you make a mistake while setting codes and want to start over again,
and it does not interfere with top of page, user-defined characters, or
other items that are not controlled by SelecType.
If you do make a mistake while using SelecType, just press the LF
button to turn off SelecType and then turn it on again and press the
FF button before you press the ON LINE button.
In fact, some users like to use the FF button to cancel any previous
SelecType setting each time they use SelecType. If you want to be
absolutely certain that no previous settings interfere with your use of
SelecType, always press the FF button once immediately after you
enter SelecType mode. For this procedure, after you press the ON
LINE and FF buttons to turn on SelecType, press the FF button
once, and then make and set your selection or selections as outlined at
the beginning of this chapter.
You can also cancel individual modes with SelecType if you wish.
You do this with the same procedure that sets them. When a mode is
already set, selecting it again cancels it, as demonstrated in the exam-
ple below.
Suppose that you have set emphasized and NLQ modes and then
you decide that you don’t want emphasized. You can either cancel all
the modes and reset NLQ, or you can use the following steps to
cancel emphasized and leave NLQ.
1)
See that the ON LINE and READY lights are on. (Be sure that
you do not touch the power switch and cancel all the modes.)
2) Press the ON LINE and FF buttons to enter SelecType.
3)
Press the ON LINE button twice. (This is the code for empha-

4)
Press the FF button once. Now the ON LINE light is still blink-
ing, but it is off more than it is on. This tells you that the empha-
sized mode is not set.
