Problem

Solutions: A series of selection lights at the top right of the Alps P2000 Plus operating panel indicates the printer's current operating mode. Font Style Lights The Font Style lights indicate which font location is currently selected-- internal, font cartridge C1, or font cartridge C2. When the printer is first turned on, the Host light goes on, and the font location is selected according to the Memory Mode setting. When you use the Font Style button to change the current setting, the Host light goes out to indicate that the printer is no longer in Host mode. The printer will not accept software commands to select another font location until it is in Host mode again. Mode Lights The Mode lights indicate which printing mode is currently selected: Draft, NLQ, or LQ. When the printer is first turned on, the Host light goes on, and the printing mode is selected according to the Memory Mode setting. When you use the Mode button to change the current setting, the Host light goes out to indicate that the printer is no longer in printing mode until it is in Host mode again. Pitch Lights The Pitch lights indicate which character pitch is currently selected: 10cpi (Pica), 12cpi (Elite), or 17cpi (Condensed). When the printer is first turned on, the Host light goes on, and the character pitch is selected according to the Memory Mode setting. When you use the Pitch button to change the current setting, the Host light goes out to indicate that the printer is no longer in Host mode. The printer will not accept software commands to select character pitch until it is in Host mode again. Spacing Lights The Spacing lights indicate which print spacing is currently selected: Normal or Proportional. When the printer is first turned on, the Host light goes on, and the spacing is selected according to the Memory Mode setting. When you use the Spacing button to change the current setting, the Host light goes out to indicate that the printer is not longer in Host mode. The printer will not accept software commands to select spacing until it is in Host mode again. Memory Mode Through its Memory Mode, the Alps P2000 Plus printer stores its power-on defaults: the printing mode, character pitch, and other settings that take effect when you first turn on the printer. You can change any of these power-on defaults simply by changing the corresponding setting on the Memory Mode menu. To check or change the Memory Mode settings, follow these steps: 1. Make sure that the printer is on, that it is properly loaded with paper and ribbon, and that it is in Off-Line status (the On-Line light is out.) 2. Press the On-Line and Reset buttons simultaneously. The printer enters Memory Mode. 3. When it enters Memory Mode, the printer immediately prints the first item on the Memory Mode menu and the item's current setting. 4. To change the setting of the current item, press the Next Option button or the Previous Option button. 5. To move to the next item on the menu, press the menu select button. The printer moves down one line and prints the next menu item and its current setting.
