The control panel and the keys are used for controlling the printer operation.
The upper line of the display shows whether the printer is in online (Ready) or
offline mode (Pause) and the paper path selected (Front1 or Single).
After switching on, the printer is automatically set to online mode. Only in this
mode can it receive data from the computer.
MX (a message only; X = 1 to 4): Shows the selected menu (Macro); for further
information refer to the User Manual on the Online CD-ROM.
YYY (a message only; YYY = EPS, IBM, DEC): Shows the active emulation
of the active interface (parallel or serial); for further information refer to the
User Guide on the Online CD-ROM.
