The FEED button will provide various functions, depending upon how long it is pressed.

Pressing this button will provide one of three functions. The function is time-dependent, and the display indicators will change to indicate the next mode, as follows:

  • The feed button is a multifunction button. By pressing and releasing the Feed button, the printer will feed about 5 inches of paper while printing the printer firmware version. This is intended to clear the printer and align the next ticket for print.
  • By pressing and holding the feed button for a longer time, two additional features may be activated. Pressing and holding the button for about two seconds will enter journal maintenance mode.
  • Holding the button for about 4 seconds will enter configuration mode.

To aid in selecting the correct mode, the Error LED will illuminate as soon as the button is pressed and indicates that FEED is selected. After about 2 seconds the Error LED will go out and the PAPER indicator will illuminate. This indicates that Journal mode is selected. After about 4 seconds, the Cover LED will illuminate indicating configuration mode is selected.
