6820 Series 80-Column Printer User's Manual
Note: If your printer configuration matches either of the following condi-
tions (manufacturing date or control program version #), then you may
not be able to use your printer control panel to reconfigure the printer.
For units built after March 15, 1999 (line 4 on your self-test report for the
manufacturing date under the "MFG Date" header) or with control pro-
gram versions greater than 1.67 (line 10 on the self-test report), you do
need to use the configuration utility to change settings. See Chapter 4,
"Using the 6820 Printer Configuration Utility" for information on using
the configuration utility to reflash your printer.
Note: Old printers can be updated with newer control program versions.
The following configuration information applies to units with control pro-
gram versions 1.67 or older.
On rare occasions, you may need to reconfigure the printer. Use the con-
trol panel to enter the following modes and set the printer. Factory defaults
are in bold:
S Protocol Selection
Sets the protocol (NPCP or DTR)
S Configuration
S Autofeed (CR versus CR+LF)
S Bit Rate (9600 bps or 19.2K)
S Zero Print Option (slashed (4) or unslashed (0))
Press and hold both the FORM FEED and LINE FEED buttons until you
hear a beep to activate the protocol selection mode. See the Protocol
Binary Sequence table on page 32 for available protocols in the order they
are stored. The PAPER OUT, HEAD JAM, and LOW BATT lights turn
ON or OFF in combinations to indicate which protocol is selected for the
printer. (Factory default is NPCP, all three indicators must be OFF.)
Press and hold both the SET PAGE and LINE FEED buttons, for about
four seconds until you hear a beep, to activate the configuration mode.

Setting the Autofeed

S If the LOW BATT indicator stays dark, autofeed is set to CR only
when the printer receives a CR in the input data.
S If the same indicator is lit, autofeed is set to LF+CR and a linefeed is
performed when a CR is received in the input data stream from the
host.
Press LINE FEED to toggle these two autofeed options.
