Panasonic KX-P1124 Settings

Self Test

The printer has a self test feature which allows the user to test the printer independently of the computer. The mode is entered by turning on the power switch while pressing the [LF] switch. First, all ASCII characters will be printed in draft and all five LQ fonts in 10 CPI. Then they will be printed in draft mode for approximately 20 minutes. During this phase, you may change the font by pressing the [COLUMN] switch. (The change will not occur until the current line is finished.)

To release the self test mode, turn the power switch off.

EZ Set Operator Panel

This printer has seven switches and Control Table on the EZ Set Operator panel. These key switches allow you to select various important features and functions of the printer by setting the Control Table.

Function Mode

To enter the Function mode, press the [FUNCTION] switch. The ON LINE indicator light will start blinking.

In the Function mode, the EZ Set Operator panel switches have new functions as follows:

Setting the Control Table

In the Function mode, the Row indicator lights R1, R2 and R3 and Column indicators lights C1-C6 on the EZ Set Operator panel indicate the Control Table conditions as follows:

* indicates initial setting when shipped.

Initial Setup Mode

The printer allows the user to select the following 14 Initial Setup mode conditions. This replaces conventional DIP switches.

- Printer emulation mode and character set mode.

- Default print font mode

- International character set mode

- Print direction (Image print) mode

- Ski perforation mode

- Automatic Line Feed mode

- Automatic CR mode

- Paper Out Detector mode

- Download button control mode

- Cut Sheet Feeder mode

- Buzzer sound control mode

- Zero font mode

- Alternate Graphic mode (AGM)

- Data length

The mode is entered by turning on the power switch while pressing the [FUNCTION] switch. The ON LINE indicator will start blinking. This indicates the printer is in the Initial Setup mode.

In the Initial Setup mode, you can set the Initial Setup condition by using the [ROW], [COLUMN], [SET] and [FUNCTION] switches on the front panel as follows:

[ROW] switch

When the [ROW] switch is pressed, the row position will advance sequentially from 1st to 7th. The column indicator lights C1-C6 shows the current setting for that row.

ON=light is lit, BLK=light is blinking, OFF=light is out

[COLUMN] switch

When the [COLUMN] switch is pressed, the column position will advance sequentially and the indicator lights C1-C6 will be lit (when the current mode position is set) or blinking (when the current mode position is not set).

[SET] switch

To adjust the Initial Setup mode, use the [ROW] and [COLUMN] switches to identify the option to be changed. There are two types of selection: individual and group. Pressing the [SET] switch for an "individual" cell toggles between ON (the column indicator light is steady) and OFF (the light blinks) conditions. To keep the current setting, simply go to a different option. The group type works in conjunction with other cells all of which are mutually exclusive (if one is YES, all others must be No). Font choices, for example, are of this type. Since only one font can be current, when one is chosen (YES-column indicator light is lit), all others are "deselected" (No-lights are OFF). Advancing the column setting will cause the column indicator light to blink at each alternate choice. Press the [SET] switch for such a choice selects that choice and turns the previous setting OFF.

Press the [FUNCTION] switch to return to the normal mode.
