Problem 9 The Print Quality and Character Pitch keys on the front panel don't work. Solution The Operator Panel Function in the printer menu can be used to disable these buttons (Limited Function). If the printer is part of a customized system or if it is used by a number of people, the system manager may have used this option to make sure the printer is always set properly. Check with your system manager before changing any menu settings. Problem 10 My printer keeps indicating "Paper out" even though there is paper installed.

Make sure the lever is in the continuous forms position (forward). 68 • Troubleshooting
