DMP 2130  (260-2845)        Using the Control Panel    Faxback Doc. # 4206

Control Panel:

This printer has no DIP switches; instead it has non-volatile memory. 
Whether the printer is turned on or off, it remembers the various printer 
settings. You can control all printer modes and functions directly from the DMP-2130's control panel.

The control panel has four keypad controls, four LED lights, and one liquid
crystal display (LCD).

ON/OFF LINE: Press to toggle between on line and off line. The printer can
             receive data when it is on line. To operate some of the con-
             trol panel functions, you must set the printer to off line.

ON/OFF LINE + FF/LOAD: Retracts the paper to the park position.

ON/OFF LINE + LF: Enters the menu setting mode.

LF (LINE FEED): Press [LF] while the printer is off line to advance the 
                paper one line. Press and hold [LF] to continuously advance 
               the paper.

FF/LOAD: Press [LF/LOAD] while the printer is off line to load the paper. 
         If paper is in the printer, the paper ejects (single sheet) or 
         advances to the next TOF position (fanfold).

   To perform the self test, press and hold [FF/LOAD] as you turn on the
   printer. See Faxback Document # 4208 for more information on performing
   a self test.

   To enter the hex dump mode, press and hold [LF] and [FF/LOAD] as you 
   turn on the printer. See Faxback Document # 4209 for more information 
   on using the hex dump feature.

NLQ/DP: Press [NLQ/DP] to switch between draft or NLQ mode while the LCD
        displays ON LINE, OFF LINE or TEAR OFF POS. The LCD then displays 
        the newly selected mode for approximately one second.

NLQ/DP + ON/OFF LINE: Selects between normal and quiet printing. The LCD
                      then displays the newly selected mode for 
                      approximately one second. In the quiet printing mode, 
                      the DMP-2130 prints using a two-pass method for 
                      quieter printing.

   Note that you can use this function also during the self test.

NLQ/DP + LF: Advances the paper 1/72-inch in a forward direction. Press and
             hold these buttons to advance the paper repeatedly in 1/72-
             inch increments.

   To get a printout of the set-up parameters stored in memory, press and 
   hold [NLQ/DP] AND [LF] while you turn on the printer.

NLQ/DP + FF/LOAD: Moves the paper 1/72-inch in the reverse direction. Press
                  and hold these buttons to feed the paper backward repeat-
                  edly in 1/72-inch increments.
