DMP 207  (260-2917)           Control Panel            Faxback Doc. # 6678

The control panel at the front of the printer lets you easily control
paper handling functions as well as adjust the printer's default settings. 
The control panel consists of two indicator lights and three control keys.

INDICATORS

The control panel has two indicators that monitor the printer's status:  
the ON LINE light and the POWER/PAPER OUT light.

  The ON LINE light is lit when the printer is on line; it is dark when
  the printer is off line.

  The POWER/PAPER OUT light is lit when the printer is on and ready for
  use.  It flashes when the printer is out of paper, or paper is jammed in
  the printer.  It is dark when the power switch is off.

CONTROL KEYS

The control panel has three control keys:  the ON/OFF LINE key, LOAD/PARK 
key, and the LF/FF key.

ON LINE AND OFF LINE MODES

Press the ON/OFF LINE key to toggle between on line and off line modes.  
When the printer is "on line"--its normal operating mode--it can receive 
data from your computer.  Your printer cannot receive data when it is "off 
line."  When off line, the printer responds only to control-panel 
instructions.

LOADING AND EJECTING PAPER

Whenever you print a document, the DMP-207 automatically loads a sheet of 
paper to the top-of-form position and begins printing.  When that page is 
printed, the DMP-207 ejects the page and, if needed, loads another page
and continues printing.

You can also load or eject it from the control panel.  When the printer is 
off line, pressing the LOAD/PARK key loads a sheet of paper into the 
printer.  The automatic sheet feeder inserts a sheet into the printer and 
moves it to the top-of-form position.  If a sheet is already in the
printer, the DMP-207 ejects the sheet when you press the LOAD/PARK key.

ADVANCING THE PAPER

The LF/FF key performs a similar paper-handling function.  When the
printer is off line, pressing the LF/FF key loads a sheet of paper to the
top-of-form position.

If a sheet is already loaded in the printer, however, the paper advances 1 
line space each time you press the LF/FF key.  If the LF/FF key is held
for 2 seconds, a form feed command is sent to the printer, and the sheet
is ejected.

Note that these paper handling functions operate only when the printer is 
off line.  If you press the LF/FF key when the printer is on line, the 
printer enters the top-of-form fine adjustment mode.

SETUP MENU SYSTEM

The Setup Menu System is described in Faxback document # 6679.
