  • Page 12: Unpacking The Printer

    Unpacking the printer Unpack the printer as follows: Open the carton and remove the printer and its components. Make sure that you have all of the items shown below. Note that the power cord supplied depends on the printer model (100-120 or 220-240 VAC power supply).
  • Page 13 The interface cable is not included with the printer. You must purchase it NOTE: separately. Connection of the interface cable is described later in this chap- ter.

  • Page 14: Assembling The Printer

    Locate the two mounting pins on each side of the cut sheet stand. Mounting pins Hold the cut sheet stand at an angle over the top of the printer. Slide the mount- ing pins into the long, front grooves of the notches. This is the cut sheet stand's up position, used for printing single sheets.

  • Page 15: Installing The Ribbon Cartridge

    Installing the Ribbon Cartridge The printer uses a black ribbon cartridge. To install the ribbon cartridge: Turn the printer off. Open the front cover of the printer. For easy installation, slide the print head carriage to the middle. The paper thickness lever, located on the right of the printer, has nine positions.
  • Page 16 Do not turn the ribbon feed knob in counterclockwise direction. CAUTION: Verify that the power to the printer is off (make sure that the circle mark on the power switch is pressed). Move the paper thickness lever to the D position.
  • Page 17 Align the print head position with the dot mark (green) on the printer ejection cover. Avoid touching the print head while using or immediately after using WARNING: the printer, as doing so may lead to burns. Wait until the print head cools down before touching it.

  • Page 21: Connecting The Printer To Your Computer

    Selecting a Serial Interface Cable For the serial interface, use a cable that meets the following specifications: At the printer end, use a 25-pin male connector, such as a Cannon DB-25P or its equivalent. To determine the type of connector your computer requires, refer to your computer user manual or ask your dealer.

  • Page 22: Selecting A Usb Cable

    To connect the interface cable: Turn off both the printer and the computer. Pull the shutter on the left side of the printer upward as far as it will go. Attach the interface cable to the connector. Do not connect more than one inter- face cable type to the printer at the same time.
  • Page 23 To secure a parallel interface cable, flip the fastener clips located on the printer into the notches on the cable connector. To secure a serial interface cable, tighten the screws in the cable connector. Attach the other end of the interface cable to your computer. Gently pull on the cable to verify that it is secure.

  • Page 24: Removing The Shutter

    To reattach the shutter, tilt the shutter and insert one of its convex parts into the installation hole of the printer, and then insert the other part in the other hole. After inserting both convex parts, lower and push the shutter in to its original position.

    This chapter explains how your printer uses paper. Topics covered are: Selecting paper Overview of paper operations Adjusting for paper thickness Using single sheets Using continuous forms (push-tractor feed and pull-tractor feed) Feeding and positioning paper Switching paper types Tips for paper handling are given at the end of this chapter. Check that section if you are using multipart forms, envelopes, or labels.

  • Page 34: Selecting Paper

    The printer can handle either single sheets or continuous forms. Single sheets, also called cut sheets, include envelopes and noncontinuous, multipart forms. Continu- ous forms include labels and multipart forms fed into the printer using the forms trac- tors. For best results, use paper that meets the specifications listed in the following table.

    This section explains how to clean and vacuum the print- er and how to clean the platen. It is easier to clean the printer when the front cover, the cut sheet stand, and the back cover are removed.

  • Page 106: Cleaning The Platen

    WARNING: damage the printer. Open the front cover of the printer and remove the ribbon cartridge. Using a soft vacuum brush, gently vacuum the platen, print head carriage, and surrounding areas. You can easily slide the print head to the left or right when the power is off.

  • Page 107: Replacing The Ribbon

    To replace the ribbon cartridge: Turn off the printer. Open the front cover of the printer. For easy installation, slide the print head car- riage to a position where it does not face a roller. The print head may be hot if you have been printing recently.
  • Page 108 Maintenance To remove the ribbon cartridge, press the ribbon release levers located on either side of the cartridge and carefully lift the cartridge out of the printer. Print head Using the procedure below, release the roller from the LOCK position and turn the ribbon feed knob clockwise to take up any ribbon slack.
  • Page 109 Verify that the power to the printer is off. (Make sure that the circle mark on the power switch is pressed.) Move the paper thickness lever to the D position. Open the front cover. Align the print head position with the dot mark (green) on the printer ejection cover.
  • Page 110 Maintenance Thread the ribbon between the print head and the print guide, then gently press down on the ribbon cartridge against the printer until it clicks into place. (Make sure that the ribbon feed knob is facing upward.) Turn the ribbon feed knob clockwise to take up any ribbon slack.

  • Page 111: Replacing The Print Head

    To remove the print head: Turn off the printer. Open the front cover of the printer and remove the ribbon cartridge. Pull the right end of the head lock wire forward to release it from the hook at the right of the print head carriage. Then release the wire from the center hook.

  • Page 113: Trouble-Shooting

    Printer failures Print Quality Problems Poor print quality or other printing problems are often caused by incorrect printer set- up or incorrect software settings. A gradual decrease in print quality usually indi- cates a worn ribbon. The following table identifies common print quality problems and suggests solutions.
  • Page 114 If you are using an serial interface, make sure that the serial settings required by your software or com- puter are the same as the settings on the printer. See the section “Changing Install Options” in Chap- ter 5.
  • Page 115 If necessary, adjust the print alignment. See the section “Checking Vertical Alignment” in this chapter. The top margin is the sum of the printer’s top-of-form setting, the software-specified top margin, and the printer’s TOP-MRGN setting. Proceed as follows: Make sure that the top-of-form setting is correct.

    Paper jams while printing. Solution Make sure that the paper select lever located on the top left of the printer is set correctly. Move the lever backward for continuous forms or forward for single sheets. Make sure that the paper covers the paper-out sen- sor, (i.e., the left paper edge is within 52 mm for sin-...
  • Page 117 Problem Paper slips off the forms tractors or the perforated holes of the paper tear dur- ing printing. Solution Make sure that the forms tractors are positioned cor- rectly for the width of your paper and that the perfo- rated holes of the paper fit directly over the tractor sprockets.

  • Page 118: Operating Problems And Solutions

    The following table identifies common operating problems and suggests solutions. If you cannot resolve a problem, contact your dealer or service Problem The power does not turn on. Make sure that the “I” on the printer power switch is The printer is on but it will not print.

  • Page 119: Printer Failures

    +34 V overvoltage error No error condition is displayed if any of these errors occurs. Turn the printer off and back on, then rerun the same job to check if the error was transient. If the error recurs, contact your dealer or service.

  • Page 120: Diagnostic Functions

    Make sure that continuous forms paper or single sheet paper is loaded in the printer. If possible, use forms at least 216 mm (8.5 inches) wide for LA48N or 356 mm (14 inches) wide for LA48W to avoid printing on the platen. Then proceed as follows: Start the vertical alignment test.
  • Page 121 Do not press any buttons alone or in combination except for pressing the NOTE: Protocol or the Set-Up/Quit button alone when turning the printer on, to avoid initiating unexpected tests not permitted for the user. Adjust the vertical print alignment at Letter quality speed.
