[GreenKeys] stop motor feature

[w8roi]

Chuck

One way is to let it run with no signal coming to it. If it has some kind of ‘auto motor stop’ it will stop. 

Some machines would stop the motor if a particular sequence of characters was received.    If this the case,  one keytop SHOULD  have the word  STOP  on the top half of the keytop. 

I think the idea was to reduce idle ‘motor on time’  when there was no printing being done. 

There may be more ‘schemes’ than occurred to me,  and other G/K  people may come up with them. 

Happy printing!
