The
Path
button on the operator panel is used to select the paper path you want to use. To select a
paper path using the operator panel:
1. Press the
Path
button.
The indicator corresponding to the currently selected path starts blinking. The display shows
the paper path name.
2. Press the
Path
button again.
The
Path
indicators light up one afterone another in counterclockwise order. Only the
indicators of the available paths light up, i.e. those for which the corresponding tractor unit is
installed.
Simultaneously, the display reads the corresponding paper path names.
3. Once the indicator corresponding to the paper path you want to select is lit, release the button.
Automatic paper handling operations depending on your choice are performed after a
time-out.
If the new selected path is out of paper, the corresponding indicator blinks.
The printer will load the paper corresponding to your new paper path selection only when
receiving data.
