In normal mode, the machine is connected to a computer and is controlled by commands
from the host.
In menu mode, various settings are controlled by using panel switches.
1.
UP
switch
(1) Normal mode: Raises the paper-feeding table.
(2) Menu mode: Use it to choose menu items and to select parameters.
When you push for a long time, while having pushed, it
keeps increasing menu items and parameters.
2.
DOWN
switch
(1) Normal mode: Drops the paper-feeding table.
(2) Menu mode: Use it to choose menu items and to select parameters.
When you push for a long time, while having pushed, it
keeps increasing menu items and parameters.
3.
MENU
switch
(1) Normal mode: Enters menu mode.
(2) Menu mode: Returns to normal mode.
(If there is an error, it displays the error.)
4.
CLEAR/EXIT
switch
