OPERATION AND PROGRAMMING
This
chapter
describes the
loading procedures
for both roll and fanfold paper and the toner, the LVOl
operating
controls,
the ASCII character
set,
the format control
codes,
and
presents
PDP-ll and PDP-8
programming
information relative
to
the LVOl.
3.1
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This section describes the
procedures
for
loading
paper and
toner
and
preparing
the machine for
operation.
3.1.1
Loading Roll-Type Electrographic Paper
To load roll paper, follow the instructions listed
below.
1.
2.
Remove paper roll from
moisture resistant
bag (Figure 3-1).
Insert
"spool-cross"
into paper
core
(Figure 3-2).
Position
spool-cross
in the
spool
holder which
consists
of the
two
"L"-shaped
brackets
on
each side of
the paper
supply
compartment
(Figure 3-3).
NOTE
The
spring-loaded edge guide (a
button
on
the
right side)
must
be held "in"
by
the paper when
properly
loaded. The
spool-cross
should
sit
squarely
in the holder.
Paper
should
come
off the
top
of the roll
(Figure 34).
Since the paper has
a
dielectric
coating
on one
side
only,
it
must
be mounted
correctly,
as
shown. No
writing
will
occur
if paper
is
mounted
up-side
down
(coming
off the
bottom of the
roll).
Pull the paper forward off of the roll
approximately
2 feet. It should
pull easily
if
the
spool-cross
has
been installed
correctly.
With the
platen
module about
3/4 closed,
run
the paper back
over
the paper
drive roller
onto
the
platen (ensure
that paper
is
centered left
to
right
on
the
roller)
then close the
platen
(Figure 3-5).
Lock the
platen
module
in
place
with the black handle
on
the left
side.
After the
platen
has
been lowered
into
place
and
locked,
lift the paper and
pull
up. At
this
point
the
paper
is
resting against
the paper
tear
bar. With
a
twisting
motion,
paper
can
be
torn
off
evenly against
this
tear
bar.
Check the
position
of the
ROLL/FAN
FOLD switch. It should be
in
the ROLL
position.
This switch is
located
on
the
right
side of the frame after
opening
the front
panel (Figure 3-6).
