Lock-Out Mode
You can restrict the use of buttons on the control panel by using the lock-out mode. In the basic setting, you can only use the Pause and Load/Eject buttons, when the lock-out mode is on.
Turning on or off the lock-out mode
You can turn on or off the lock-out mode easily by using buttons on the control panel.
Follow these steps to turn on the lock-out mode:
 |
Make sure the printer is turned off.
|
Caution:|
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five seconds before turning it back on; otherwise, you may damage the printer.
|
 |
Turn on the printer while holding down both the LF/FF and Pause buttons more than five seconds. The printer beeps twice, indicating that the lock-out mode has been turned on.
|
When the lock-out mode is on, the Pause and Paper Out lights flash simultaneously when the locked buttons are pushed.
To turn off the lock-out mode, repeat steps 1 and 2. The printer beeps once, indicating that the lock-out mode has been turned off.
See Changing the lock-out mode setting for instructions on how to change the functions to be locked.
Changing the lock-out mode setting
You can select the printer functions to be locked while the lock-out mode is on according to your needs.
Note:|
To print the language selection and panel lock-out mode instructions, you need three sheets of A4 or letter size single-sheet paper or three pages of continuous paper that is at least 279 mm (11 inches) long and 210 mm (8.3 inches) wide. See Loading Continuous Paper and Loading Single Sheets for instructions on loading continuous paper and single sheets.
For your safety, Epson recommends operating the printer with the printer cover closed. The printer will function with the printer cover open or removed, but for maximum safety keep the cover closed.
