  • Page 7: Chapter 1: Printer Setup

    Chapter 1: Printer Setup This chapter contains important information on setting up your printer. Be sure to read this chapter carefully before using the printer for the first time. Choosing a place for the printer Before actually unpacking the printer, you should take a few minutes to think about where you plan to use it.

  • Page 8: Unpacking The Printer

    Printer Setup Unpacking the printer Check to make sure that the carton contains each of the items shown in the following illustration. Printer Power code If anything is missing, contact the store where you bought the printer and ask them to supply the missing part. Note that it is a good idea to keep the original box and all the packing materials just in case you need to pack the printer up again and send it somewhere at a later date.

  • Page 12: Installing The Ribbon Cartridge

    Printer Setup Installing the ribbon cartridge Make sure that the printer is unplugged from its power outlet. Open the front cover of the printer. Note: You will probably find later steps to perform if you remove the cover. By hand, move the print head to the left as far as it will go, where there is a cutout to allow easy installation and removal of the ribbon cartridge.
  • Page 13 Remove the ribbon cartridge from its package and check to make sure its ribbon guide is correctly in place. If it isn’t, thread the ribbon through the guide. Pull down on the ribbon guide to create considerable slack in the ribbon. Insert the two round tabs on either side of the ribbon cartridge into the two slots inside the printer and slide the cartridge into place as you rotate the knob on the right side of the cartridge to take up some of the slack in the...

  • Page 14: Removing The Ribbon Cartridge

    Printer Setup Close the front cover of the printer. Print head Metal rods Slot Ribbon guide Important! Printing that is poor quality or too light is almost always due to a ribbon that is simply worn out or “used up.” If you experience problems with print quality, check the condition of the ribbon.

  • Page 15: Connecting To A Power Outlet And Turning Power On And Off

    Connecting to a power outlet and turning power on and off Important! Never try to move the print head while the printer is plugged into a power outlet. Doing so can damage the printer. If you have just used the printer, let the print head cool for a few minutes before you touch it.

  • Page 16: Loading Paper

    Printer Setup Securely attach the power cord to the power terminal on the back of the printer. Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded wall outlet. Caution! If the voltage marked on the bottom of your printer does not match the voltage from the outlet you are using, do not plug in the power cord.

  • Page 17: Connecting To Your Computer

    Insert the paper into the printer as far as it will go, sliding its left side against the printer’s left guide. Important! If the paper is not inserted straight into the printer, it will be considered a loading error and the paper will be ejected. Be sure to insert the paper correctly.
  • Page 18 Printer Setup To connect with a parallel cable For connection to the parallel interface, you will probably want to use a standard parallel cable, like the one shown below. Note: In addition to using the parallel interface as-is to connect a parallel interface, you can also connect an optional serial-to-parallel converter (page 40) to convert serial data from the computer to parallel data.
  • Page 19 Plug one end of the parallel cable into the parallel port of your computer. The parallel port should be labeled “Printer,” “Parallel,” “PRN,” “LPT1,” or something similar. Plug the other end of the parallel cable into the socket on the back of the printer and secure it in place with the clips.
  • Page 20 Printer Setup Attach one end of the serial cable to a serial port of your computer (COM1, COM2), and secure the connector with the screws provided on the plug. Plug the other end of the cable into the socket on the back of the printer and secure it in place with the screws.

  • Page 21: Chapter 2: Control Panel Operations

    Chapter 2: Control Panel Operations The control panel gives you push-button control over the printer’s operations. It includes indicator lights, which tell you the current status of the printer at a glance. This chapter describes control panel functions that can be performed while the printer is turned on and either on-line or off-line.

  • Page 22: Selecting A Font

    Control Panel Operations Selecting a font The printer normally prints at letter quality (LQ) using the default font you select in the EDS Mode (page 19). You can also use the following procedure to enter the Draft Mode for faster draft printing, or the OCR B Mode for bar code printing (page 24).

  • Page 23: Changing The Auto Load Position

    Changing the auto load position Normally the printer automatically feeds paper to a standard position (1/6-inch from the top of the paper) before printing. This is called the auto load position. You can use the following procedure to specify a different auto load position. Make sure the printer is off-line (ON LINE indicator is not lit).

  • Page 24: Clearing The Printer's Buffer

    Control Panel Operations Clearing the printer’s buffer When the printer receives data from a computer, it temporarily stores it in a memory called a buffer. If you stop a printing job partway through, there is the chance that some data will remain in the buffer. The following procedure clears the printer’s buffer by deleting any data that might be there.

  • Page 25: Chapter 3: Using The Eds Mode

    Chapter 3: Using the EDS Mode The letters “EDS” stand for “Electronic DIP Switches.” Just like the small DIP switches that are used by many computers, printers, and other devices, the EDS lets you configure the printer so that it matches your system and software needs. This chapter describes how to enter the printer’s EDS Mode and provides details about available settings and how to change them.
