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 cancelled. 5. Press the LF button once to leave SelecType mode. 6. Press the ON LINE button to put the printer on-line. Now you have cancelled emphasized without affecting any other modes. Some users think that this procedure is too complicated and prefer to cancel all the SelecType settings and then reset the ones they want. Use whichever method you prefer. If you want to cancel modes individually, remember to watch the ON LINE light. It blinks mainly on when a mode is set and mainly off when it is not. Troubleshooting If the printer freezes and a program will not run, try turning off both the computer and the printer, then turn the printer on first and the computer on second before you try the program again. If you're printing labels and a self-adhesive label comes off of the backing, it may stick behind the platen and cause problems with paper feeding and irregular darkness of printing. If this happens, take your LX-90 to a qualified service person; do not attempt to remove the label yourself. Beeper Error Warnings When the LX-90's beeper sounds, it usually indicates that the printer is out of paper. The beeper can also be sounded by certain error conditions in the printer itself. E-3

Troubleshooting
If the printer freezes and a program will not run, try turning off
both the computer and the printer, then turn the printer on first and
the computer on second before you try the program again.
If you’re printing labels and a self-adhesive label comes off of the
backing, it may stick behind the platen and cause problems with paper
feeding and irregular darkness of printing. If this happens, take your
LX-90
to a qualified service person; do not attempt to remove the label
yourself.
