DO NOT ADD EXCESSIVE CONCENTRATE. If this
is
done,
a
dark
background
will appear, and the
quality
of the
record will be poor. In this event, the
toner
pre-mix
will have
to
be diluted with clear
dispersant.
Under normal
operating conditions,
the
two-gallon
toner
pre-mix
and
eight-ounce
toner concentrate
is
sufficient for
five
to ten
thousand feet of paper.
Replace
these bottles when the 10w level
mark,
identified
on
the
toner
pre-mix
bottle,
is
reached. NEVER ADD OLD TONER TO
A NEW
BOTTLE. The
replacement
reservoir
(toner bottle)
is
a
positive design
feature of the
toning
system,
since any
residue collected
in
the bottle should be
discarded
periodically.

Table 3-1
LVOI Controls and Indicators
Nomenclature
Function
ON/OFF
Applies
ac
power
to
the LVOl. When power
is
applied,
the
switch
is
illuminated and
remains
depressed. Depressing
the
switch
a
second
time
removes
power
from the
unit.
PAPER ADVANCE
Depressing
this switch
causes
paper
to
advance
provided
no
data remains
in
the LVOl data buffer. The switch remains
inoperative
until
the
data
is
printed. Printing
may
be
accomplished
under
computer
control
or
by depressing
the
FORM
FEED
switch
located
just
below the PAPER
ADVANCE switch.
Paper
movement
will continue until the
switch
is
released.
FORM FEED
This switch
causes
the
printer
to enter
a
print cycle
and
print
any
data
remaining
in
the
data
buffer.
Upon
completion
of
printing
of the
line,
the paper
is
advanced
to
the
top
of the
next
page when
using
fanfold
paper and the
ROLL/FAN
FOLD switch
is in
the FAN FOLD
position,
or
for
a
distance of
2-1/2
inches when this switch
is in
the
ROLL
position.
LOW PAPER
This indicator
is
red
in
color
and,
when
illuminated,
indicates
an
out-of-paper
condition
in
the
printer.
The
LVOl will
not
accept
data when this condition
exists. An
additional
supply
of paper should be loaded.
CONTRAST
The
contrast
adjustment
is
located inside
the front
panel
of
ADJUSTMENT
the LVOl and is
labeled DARK. Its purpose
is
to
allow the
operator
to
compensate
for variations
in
contrast
due
to
humidity changes
in
the
atmosphere.
It
should be turned
as
far clockwise
as
necessary
to
permit
high
contrast
writing
without excessive
background
writing.
