The printer may be used in one of three modes:-

viewing the Event Log will start the printer (refer to user manual for more
details).
2) For printing the Program Review (engineer function). Pressing 1 whilst in the
engineer option Program Review will start the printer.

event that is written to the log will also be sent to the printer.
This option needs to be set ON from within the engineer programming mode
(option 96) and may be overridden by the user by using the online / offline
function on the printer.
