Other Controls and Indicators
POWER LED..............Lights up when the Printer is on.

ON LINE/OFF LINE.......Set to ON LINE to make the Printer ready to accept
                       data from the Computer. Set to OFF LINE to stop
                       receiving data from the Computer.

PITCH..................Selects the printing pitch.
                       At 10 the pitch is set for 10 characters/inch (1/10").
                       At 12 the pitch is set for 12 characters/inch (1/12").
                       At PS the spacing is proportional to the space
                       allotted for each character as it is printed (See
                       pages 23,24,25).

When you use the Courier font, use the 10 pitch setting. The Prestige Elite 
font should be used with 12 pitch. Madeleine requires the PS (Proportional 
Spacing) position.

CAUTION: Do not accidentally bump the pitch switch while running a program 
or operating the printer. Unless pitch has been selected/changed under 
software control, the pitch switch remains active. Once pitch has been 
changed via software, the pitch switch is no longer effective. To manually 
select pitch, the printer has to be turned off and then back on.

WARNING: The "ribbon out" sensor switch is inactive when the printer is 
off-line or in a self-test mode. Thus, if the ribbon should run out while 
the printer is in this mode, the ribbon may break. If this should happen, 
turn off the printer and carefully replace the cartridge.

NOTES REGARDING RIBBON OUT ERROR CONDITION

When the printer is a normal printing mode, if the ribbon runs out, the 
print head will stop. With a Model I system, replace the ribbon, close the 
cover and the printer will resume printing without loss or insertion of 
data.

With a Model II system, you will have to type CONTinue (after replacing the 
ribbon) and then the printer will continue printing from the stopped head 
position. However, you should be aware that the entire current line will be 
restarted from this location, therefore there may be some printing duplicat-
ion at this stopped line.

FRONT COVER INTERLOCK

The front cover incorporates a special interlock switch -- if the cover is 
opened, the printer will automatically stop. When the cover is closed 
securely, the printer will continue to function as noted above under "Notes 
regarding ribbon out error condition".
