Printer Setup - Redpost RPC-80 Manual

PRINTER SETUP

This section covers the choice of printer and paper size.
Printer type

Only the PCL3 setting is available on this version of the RPC-80. The Hewlett-
Packard 'PCL3' setting is correct for several Hewlett-Packard ink-jet printers and
Laser printers. Certain other laser printers can also be used with this setting.
However, some printers (for instance older Lexmark models) may crash when using
the standard Hewlett Packard version of the PCL3 language, so there is an
alternative printer type suitable for these printers.
A list of currently recommended printer types can be supplied upon request.
If the RPC-80 is supplied together with a printer then it is despatched set ready for
that printer.
All printers are used for black printing only even if they are capable of printing in
colour. With certain types of ink-jet printer you may need to install both colour and
black ink cartridges even for black only printing. See the printer's manual.
Paper Size

by name and dimensions.
The RPC-80 is despatched set for A4 paper size.
It is important to set the correct paper size in this section before attempting to use
the printer. You will normally also need to set the paper guides on the printer to suit
the chosen paper size. You should never change any of the printer switches - all
necessary changes are made by signals sent to the printer by the RPC-80.
Note. The US Legal paper size is available from the menu but you may find this size
is difficult to use with some printers. The paper is so long that some sheet feeders do
not support it correctly.
