4.2 Operation of the LCD Panel
䕺 The Online mode is the printer’s normal operating mode. Data from your computer
can be received and printed.
䕺 In the Offline mode the link between printer and computer is interrupted, i.e. no data
can be received and printed.
䕺 In the Setup mode you can either select the printer menu or carry out the
quick-switch function. The quick-switch option was included so that you can change the
most important parameters (for example adjustments, character density, font, paper
path, adjustments directly without having to enter them via the menu. The settings for
the parameters character density and font are lost when the printer is switched off. They
can be selected permanently in the menu mode of the printer.
䕺 In the Menu mode further printer settings (line spacing, size of the interface buffer etc.)
can be altered and saved permanently.
4.2.1 The LC display
The LC display tells you all the important printer settings and informs you which
functions are currently assigned to which keys.
The upper line informs you that the printer is either in online or offline mode (in the
example below the printer is in the Online mode), and the selected paper path (below:
TrFront = tractor front mode).
