 Chapter IV: Operator PanelBegin Main Content
 
 
A.   Functions
 
 

 
 
(The buttons are described from left to right order.)
  • Online - Toggle to take printer online (one high long beep) or off line (one low long beep).  Pressing this button during printing will stop the print job.   
  • Mode - Toggle between the Tiger mode (one short beep) and the Legacy mode (two short beeps).  In the Tiger mode the ViewPlus embosser behaves like a Windows printer receiving data directly from Windows applications.  In the Legacy mode, the ViewPlus embosser behaves like a conventional embosser accepting ASCII code. The ViewPlus embosser will switch itself automatically between Tiger mode and Legacy mode according to the program or device it is communicating with..   
  • Up Arrow - This button is used to load the paper, or move the paper forward to tear.  If you press and hold this button, the paper will move continuously forward.  The printer must be Offline for this function to work. 
  • Down Arrow - This button is used to move the paper back to the ready position after the embossed sheet is torn off.  The ViewPlus embosser will automatically return to the Online state and will be ready to accept new print jobs.  If you press and hold this button, the paper will move continuously backward.
 
B.   Display Lights
  • Online - This light is on when the ViewPlus embosser is Online.  It blinks when printing.
  • Tiger - This light is on when the Tiger Windows mode is enabled. 
  • Legacy - This light is on when the Legacy mode is enabled.  
    • Fault - This light is on if the ViewPlus embosser is unable to print.  Most often it means that there is no paper present.
     
    C.   Error Tones
    • Paper Out - Beep sequence:  (high, low) repeats every 10 seconds until user presses Online.  If you want to continue your print job, do not cancel the job from your computer, reload the paper, and return the printer to the Online state.  The paper will move to the correct top of form and the print job will continue.  If you want to interrupt the print job, press and hold the Online button a second time.  The print job will only stay in the buffer for a short period of time.
    • Paper Jam - Beep sequence: (high, low, high) repeats every 10 seconds until user removes the jammed paper and presses Online.
    • Alignment error - Beep sequence: (high, high, low) repeats every 10 seconds until user fixes problem and presses Online.  Make sure nothing such as paper covers the shiny area of the platen or it may be necessary to brush off paper dust off of this area.
    Other Beep Signals - If you hear any other series of beeps, you may have a serious problem.  Please listen carefully so that you can describe the tone to technical support.
