Preparation for Use

2.2.3 Printer Preparation

Although any Windows printer can be used with the VXP, the usual configuration for testing
aircraft includes a small Seiko thermal printer. The correct paper to use with this printer can be
ordered from Chadwick Helmuth. The part number is 610-199.

2.2.3.1 Loading Paper

The correct paper to use with the Seiko printer is C-H part No. 610-199. To load paper into the
printer:
1. Open paper cover by lifting up on front of paper cover and rotating toward back of
printer.
2. Turn on printer power.
3. If paper roll has been used previously, cut tip of paper straight across.
4. Insert the tip of the paper into the inlet at the bottom of the paper holder and press the
feed button until the paper is fed through the paper cutter.
5. Continue pressing the paper feed switch until the paper feeds straight and smoothly.
6. Replace the paper cover and lock it in place by gently pressing down on it.
Refer to the printer manual for more information.

2.2.3.2 Printer DIP Switch Settings

The Seiko printer is configured via three internal DIP switches. These switches must be set
correctly in order for the printer to communicate correctly with the AU. Table 2-1 shows the
correct DIP switch settings.
The DIP switch settings may be checked by turning the printer power on while pressing the On-
Line button. The current settings will then be printed. Refer to the printer manual for details on
changing the DIP switch settings
