Abstract

See full text

A printer is capable of controlling the enabled and disabled condition of front panel switches in a printer that operates based on control instructions sent from a host computer. A control instruction receiver in communication with the host computer passes received data to an instruction analyzer. An instruction execution means, coupled to the instruction analyzer directs the operation of a panel switch controller. The panel switch controller enables or disables the front panel switches according to control instructions sent by the host computer. In this way, interference with printer activity by switch operation can be prevented.
