[. . . ] The display reflects the current status and modes of the printer. Most software applications, such as word processing, spreadsheet, and database programs, automatically handle the printer control operations. For example, your word processing program tells the printer what typeface to use, when to load a sheet of paper, or when to perform a line feed. If, for some reason, your application program does not perform these basic functions, you can control them using the printer's operator panel. Also, if you print from MS-DOS software applications, you can select all printer settings from the operator panel. However, any settings you make with your software application override settings made with the operator panel. In addition to the operations described in this chapter, you use the operator panel to turn the printer on and off and to print the self tests (as described in Chapter 3, Using the Printer).
