FEED Button Modes – Power ON

This is the first of two advanced function sets available by way of operating the

FEED

button. (The other is

FEED

Button Mode - Power OFF.) By noting changes in the state and color of the STATUS indicator light—specifically the patterns of these changes—, you can access the Power ON modes used to configure and set up the printer.

To access advanced operation Power ON modes, make sure the printer is ON and ready to print (STATUS Indicator is lit up Green). Then follow these instructions:
