Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel
3-27
Demo Mode
A Demo Mode is available on this printer for aid in the sales market. The Demo Mode can print
eight different demonstration pages for the product; one for each key on the keypad.
Demo Mode is invoked by holding down both the <Online> and <Select> keys while powering-
up the printer. This mode resides over power cycles. The user may return to normal printer
operation by holding down the <Online> and <Select> buttons during power-up. Restore Factory
Defaults also returns the user to normal printer operation.
A bit is passed via POST to PostScript to indicate that the mode has been 'toggled.' The
operating system keeps track of which mode it is in: normal vs. demo mode. While in demo
mode, none of the ports accept data. Only the front panel is active. If you press a button, the
printer prints a ROM-resident job.
If you invoke Restore Factory Defaults before 'toggling' back to normal operation, the operating
system clears demo mode and normal operation resumes.
As the Operating System boots into Demo Mode, the following appears on the display:
DEMO MODE
Initializing...
Once the unit is ready for printing, the following appears on the display:
DEMO MODE
Press any key
When you press a button, the following displays:
DEMO MODE

When printing is complete, the display returns to:

Press any key
The error conditions work during this mode. For example, if an exit paper jam occurs, the
following appears.
DEMO MODE
PAPER JAM>EXIT
Demo Mode uses the default language that was last set in the normal operation mode.
The Start-Up Page prints as it would in normal operation. If the last setting was ON, the start-up
page prints in the demo mode. If the last setting was OFF, the start-up page does
not print in the
demo mode.
