using the operator panel Operating States The printer operates in one of the following four states: • READY (online) - In the READY state, the printer can receive and print data sent from the host. Pressing the Start key places the printer in READY state. • NOT READY (offline) - In the NOT READY state, you may perform operator tasks such as loading paper and setting top-of-form. Pressing the Stop key changes the printer state from READY to NOT READY. • PROGRAM - Pressing the Menu key places the printer in PROGRAM state and displays the operator menus. PROGRAM state may be either locked or unlocked. When PROGRAM state is unlocked, you may select and save new configuration settings. When PROGRAM state is locked, you may view the current settings, but cannot change them. • FAULT - When a fault condition exists that must be cleared before printing can continue, the printer is in the FAULT state. When the alarm sounds while the printer is in the FAULT state, pressing any key on the operator panel silences the alarm. Pressing the Form Feed key will silence the alarm and cause the paper to move. The top-of-form setting will be lost. Pressing the Stop key will clear the fault message if the problem has been corrected. The operating state is generally selected with operator panel keys, as described above. It may also result from routine operations such as powering on the printer, or a fault condition occurring. The existing operating state is frequently indicated as part of the printer display message. Operator's Guide 5
