When this ALARM state happens, printing and Line Feed operation is suspended. For a release from an ALARM state, push SEL switch or turn off the power switch

once and turn on again. 6 LF Switch Use this switch for paper feeding and line spacing when the printer is in DESELECT state. 7 SEL Switch When this switch is pressed, the printer enters SELECT (ON-LINE) status.

When pressed again, the printer enters DESELECT (OFF-LINE) status.

This switch is also used when clearing an alarm condition.

And if this switch is pressed when printing, the printer enters DESELECT status,

after all the data in the buffer is printed. 8 Printer Cover Set this cover correctly in place so that dusts and noise can be avoided. 9 Interface Connector This is for connection with various personal computers by connecting cable.
