[. . . ] Press the PARK/LOAD key to adjust the paper upwards in 1/ 60 increments or you can press the LF/FF key to adjust the paper downwards in 1/60 inch increments. The up arrow (A) and down arrow (B) on the control panel remind you which key moves the paper in which direction Save your new top of form as the default setting by pressing the QUIET/SAVE key on the control panel. Press the ON LINE key to return to the online state. 6 7 You can set one VTOP for single sheets and another for continuous paper and save both settings. The printer senses which VTOP to use by the position of the paper select lever. This convenience eliminates the need to change the top of form each time you switch between continuous paper and single sheets. · · · Print quality in the top half-inch of the page may not be as good as the rest of the page. This depends on the type of paper used and the contents of the text or graphics printed. Depending on the type of paper used, occasional paper feeding problems may occur. Due to their characteristic thickness, envelopes should not be used with VTOP settings of 12mm or less. Paper feeding problems may occasionally occur. To avoid paper feeding problems, we recommend that text or graphics should not be printed in the first or last 1 inch of the first two lines of the page. · 21 Chapter 3 The Control Panel Your printer has a wide range of functions enabling you to control such things as different character sizes, fonts and styles, the positioning of the paper, and even how much noise the printer makes. Although there are a large number of these functions, you will find that they are very easy to use because of the unique design of the Command-Vue-III control panel. The main control on the panel is the slide switch SW1. This switch is used to select the four main types of printer control: Setup Mode Install On Line As you move SW1 up and down, the small display windows above the switch show a menu of commands or options that you can choose in the selected mode. All these functions are explained in detail in this chapter. In most situations, you will never need to move the switch from the "On Line" position. However, the main use of the function switches beside each of the display windows is to select the command or option shown in the display window, though there are a few specialised functions that require you to press several switches at the same time. On the other side of each display window there is a function light or "LED". These are used to tell you what the printer is doing. They are used in a number of different ways, as you will learn later in this chapter, but the main use is to show which of the options has been selected with the function switches. The function LEDs are also used to signal error conditions: these are described in a later chapter. When slide switch SW1 is in the MODE position, slide switch SW2 becomes free to use. [. . . ] First lift the cover away from the IC card compartment. Then take your serial interface unit, and holding it facing out, plug the connector end into the connector socket in the compartment, making sure that at the same time the supporting bars slip through the slots. With a cross-point screwdriver you complete the installation process by screwing the bars to the printer. Serial Interface Protocols The serial interface is configured through the DIP switches on the interface. [. . . ]
