Page 12: Getting Started
Installation Before installation, a suitable site must be chosen. Suitable sites include offices, computer rooms, and most factory environments. Printek printers have been designed to be rugged, heavy-duty printers. As such, they will handle most harsh environments, but should not be placed in direct sunlight or in areas that will exceed the rated temperature, humidity, or power requirements. - Page 13 (open front lid to access). Now connect the computer cable(s) to the appropriate interface. Next, connect the power cord supplied with the printer to the printer and an appropriate power outlet. The pictures below show t h e location of the interface connectors on the rear panel of the printer.

Page 14: Interface Set Up
Ethernet Interface Connectors on rear of printer Interface Set Up Depending upon which interface is being used to connect the printer to the host computer, some set up may or may not be required. This is true of the standard parallel, serial, or Ethernet. -
Page 15: Ethernet 10/100Baset
S T A R T E D Ethernet 10/100BaseT This interface uses a standard RJ-45 connector and the default printer emulation is Epson. For a complete description of all the default settings for this interface, refer to page 49. For additional software installation and operational information, please refer to the Troy XCD Quick Install Manual shipped with the unit. -
Page 16: Installing The Ribbon Cartridge
The reason this is possible is that Printek brand ribbons are manufactured to much higher quality standards than those offered by other manufacturers. This provides not only longer print head life, but also longer ribbon life… 15 million characters as compared to only 5 million characters f rom some generic ribbons. - Page 17 G E T T I N G S T A R T E D Using inferior ribbons would be like using poor quality fuel in your automobile. Premature engine failure and poor performance leading up to the failure would be the best you could expect.

Page 45: Forms Menu
Not all of these forms require the same printer settings for things such as font, character size, line spacing, or form length. The PrintMaster 850 Series printers store up to ten complete sets of form parameters including the name of the form. - Page 46 This is often true if the job is to be run overnight or at a remote and perhaps unattended location. When a form’s tractor path is set to Bottom +Rear, the printer will automatically switch to the rear path when the bottom path is empty and continue printing until both paths are empty.

After printing is completed, the value of this item will automatically return to No. Note that once printing begins, taking the printer off line for any reason (ONLINE button pressed, ribbon lid opened, or a paper fault) will cause printing to be aborted. -
Page 68: Form Construction And Layout Tips
FORM CONSTRUCTION AND LAYOUT TIPS Form Construction Although the PrintMaster 850 Series printers have been designed to handle difficult forms, you may come across a form that does not feed reliably or provide adequate print quality on all copies. One of the main causes of paper misfeeds is a form that is “tented”. Tenting is a tent-like bulge at the perforation when forms are unfolded from the box. -
Page 69: Form Layout Considerations
While the print alignment can be adjusted on the PrintMaster 850 Series printer to 1/100 of an inch, this is often too much to expect of the forms manufacturer. - Page 70 S P E C I F Y I N G F O R M S placed on the form, avoid using a dark color to form the preprinted lines and boxes. Use a lighter color, preferably other than a gray that will allow the printed characters to still be read if misalignment occurs.
