chapter 1 INTRODUCTION The following section covers the unpacking and installation of your printer, together with information on paper loading and handling (both continuous and cut-sheet paper). LOCATING THE PRINTER Before you start unpacking and setting up your printer, make sure that you have a suitable place on which to locate it.
The optional accessories which you may have ordered with your printer are: l Serial (RS-232) interface board l Automatic sheet feeder l Color option kit See the installation instructions contained with these optional items for details of how to attach them to your printer.
Setting up Place your printer in the position where it is going to be permanently sited, and remove all packing material from inside the top cover. This packing material is intended to prevent damage to the printer in transit.
Remove the top cover by lifting the front (using the two grips at the side), and pulling towards you. Now install the ribbon. 1 Use the tensioning knob on the ribbon cartridge to tighten the ribbon if it is slack (turn clockwise). 2 The ribbon should pass between the print head and the print head shield (see illustration below).
Connection Connect the printer to your computer, using a standard parallel-type cable. On a PC or PC/AT-type computer, this means that you use the 25-way D- type connector at the computerend, and the Amphenol-type 36-way connec- tor at the printer end.
You may need to set some DIP switches inside the printer before you start using it. These switches enable you to configure the printer as an Epson or as an IBM Proprinter printer. The DIP switches also enable you to select a character set other than the USA character set, if your supplier has not already set these up for you.
LOADING PAPER The following sections explain how to load paper - single-sheet (cut-sheet), without the Automatic Sheet feeder, and also the operations necessary for loading continuous (fanfold) stationery. If you are using the Automatic Sheet Feeder, please refer to the instructions supplied with the Automatic Sheet Feeder unit.
5 Turn on the power using the switch at the back of the printer. The printer will beep, indicating that no paper is in position for printing. The orange PAPER indicator also shows this. 6 Now press the m button. The paper bail will move clear of the paper, and the paper will be fed and adjusted past the print head to a position ready for printing.
2 Push the release lever towards the front of the printer (to the m position). This has the effect of releasing the paper from the platen roller, and engaging the tractor feed. 3 With the sprocket covers open, thread the paper over the sprockets, aligning the sprocket holes with the pins on the sprockets.
7 Now press the C =V~?ET j button. The paper bail will move clear of the paper, and the paper will be fed and adjusted past the print head to a position ready for printing. The paper bail will be moved back to grip the paper against the platen, and the print head will move to the start position.
Chapter 2 FRONT PANEL CONTROLS The following section describes the front panel controls and indicators on your-printer, together with a description of the functions performed by them. CONTROLS AND INDICATORS The following is a brief guide to the controls and indicators on the front panel.
In addition to these indicators, there are two others, POWER and PAPER. The POWER indicator will illuminate when power is supplied to the printer, and the PAPER indicator will illuminate when no paper has been inserted. PITCH SETTING Usethe CEC button to set the pitch that will be printed.
c Mode Panel Lock If the :3EJ button is pressed when the printer is turned on, the mode will be “locked”, and no mode changes can be made from software. It is still possible, however, to put the printer off-line and change the mode using the I’ YODE button.
QUIET MODE To select Quiet mode, the printer must be on-line. While it is on-line, press the ~?%YC button. This will alternately illuminate and extinguish the QUIET indicator. When in Quiet mode, the printer will print slightly slower, but at a reduced noise level.
I ‘. 2 Press the CG&SC button, so that the fanfold paper is moved out of the paper path. 3 Now move the release lever to the rear of the printer ( c position) to select cut-sheet paper (disengaging the fanfold sprockets).
To return the paper to its previous position, press the ~GE3 button once again. When you release the button, the printer will return to its on-line status, and the paper will be fed backwards, with the print head aligned with the top of the next form.
chapter 3 SETTING UP THE MEMORY SWITCHES In addition to the pitch, print mode and font, many other options regarding the setup of the printer can be carried out from the front panel. To access these options, it is necessary to turn off the printer, and then turn it on again, while holding down the 0~ LINE .
When you press the i my9 button to enter an option, a “*” (asterisk) will be printed to confinn that the option has heen chosen. The menus are organized in a hierarchical (tree-structured) fashion. Some menus do not choose options directly, but instead, move down to other menus.
MENU OPTIONS The following is a list of the options within the menus, and their meanings, together with the prompts printed in Memory Switch mode. The prompts are given in capital letters in square brackets, thus: [OFF]. Factory settings are marked here with an asterisk (for example, [ON*]).
Print Menu This menu allows you to set up various printing options which will be auto- matically selected whenever you turn the printer on: PRINT QUALITY This will select either Super Letter Quality / Letter Quality [SLQ, LQ*] or Draft [DRAFTI mode.
Forms Menu This menu allows you to set various options associated with paper handling: SHORT TEAR OFF When using fanfold (continuous) paper, this Short Tear Off option allows you to tear off one sheet of paper without having to eject the whole of the following sheet.
Factory settings The following is a list of the settings set up at the factory, which may he re- stored by choosing the FACTORY SET option from the main menu: COMMANDMENU RAM USAGE NJ-W QUIET MODE WFl.
chapter 4 EMULATIONS AND ESCAPE CODES EMULATIONS The printer has two emulation modes: standard mode and IBM mode. In standard mode, the printer emulates the functions of the Epson LQ-850 and LQ- 1050 printers, as well as the NEC Pinwriter. Additional command codes are included as a superset of these emulations.
1OOOOh - 1Oh = FFFOh and the result is divided into the two bytes of FOh and FFh. If “non-printable” codes are given, ie those codes from OOh through 1Fh and 7Fh, these codes will be enclosed in angle brackets, for example <DCl>. The name in the angle brackets is that assigned to the code in the ASCII con- vention.
Following the heading, the full form of the command is given, using the ASCII names for control codes, eg <ESC> (the angle brackets on either side of the name are not part of the name, being simply delimiters, and should not be entered).

chapter 5 DIP SWITCHES The bank of DIP switches inside the printer (see illustration below) is used for various functions. All switches are set ON when the printer leaves the factory.
Switches 1 and 2 are used to determine the emulation mode (standard or IBM) of the printer, and also to determine the character set to be used. Switch 1 2 Emulation ON ON Standard ON OFF Standard OFF .
chapter 6 TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE The following section on troubleshooting and maintenance is intended only as a brief guide to these functions. Remember that your printer is a highly sophisticated electronic device, which also contains high voltages inside.
Power supply If the POWER indicator does not illuminate, check the following: 1 Check 1 Possible remedy Is the power cable properly plugged into the electrical outlet? Is power being supplied to the outlet? Is the printer voltage correct? Turn off the printer, ensure the power cable is securely connected.
If the print is faint, or uneven, check the following: Check Is the ribbon properly in- stalled? Is the ribbon worn out? Possible remedy Check and reinstall if necessary. The ribbon has a long life, but eventually will need replacing. Fit a new ribbon cartridge if necessary.
Paper feeding If cut sheet paper (without the ASF) is not feeding smoothly, check the following: 1 Check 1 Possible remedy Is the paper release lever pushed back (to the f posi- tion)? Set the release lever to the h position.
Check Are you trying to feed paper using the front panel buttons while the ON LINE indicator is illuminated? Is the paper too thick? Possible remedy You can only feed paper in this way when the printer is off-line. Set the printer off-line and then feed paper.
If the paper park facility does not appear to be working correctly, check the following: 1 Check I Possible remedy I Is the paper release lever in the m position? The paper release lever must be set to the & position after the fanfold paper has been parked.
EVERYDAY MAINTENANCE Essentially, your printer is a robust piece of equipment, but should be treated with a modicum of care in order to avoid malfunctions. For example: Keep your printer in a “comfortable’* environment. Roughly speaking, if you are comfortable, then the environment is suitable for your printer, too (see Chapter 1).
RIBBON REPLACEMENT The ribbons used by your printer are endless-loop ribbons in which the ribbon is recycled. When the print quality becomes too faint, you will need to replace the ribbon. Use only ribbons recommended for use with the printer (your supplier will be able to advise you).
3 Take the new ribbon and tension it by turning the knob on the top of the ribbon cartridge clockwise. 4 Now insert the ribbon cartridge into the holder gripping it by the lugs, and turning the knob slightly clockwise if necessary. Make sure that the ribbon goes between the print head and the platen guard (see illustration below).
REPLACING THE PRINT HEAD This is not a job which you will need to do very often. The print head has been designed to give a life of about 200 million dots. In normal everyday use, this will mean years of life. However, if the print quality is faint, even after you have changed the ribbon, the print head will need replacement.
rTPrint head bolts Print head NOTE DO NOT apply excessive force, as this may result in damage to the print head. 9 Fasten down the new print head using the retaining washers and screws. Do not apply excessive force when tightening the screws, as this may strip be thread, but ensure that the print head is firmly secured.
- FRONT PANEL DIAGNOSTIC AND TEST MODES The printer is equipped with a number of different modes for diagnosis and testing. These are accessed from the front panel by holding down a front panel button (or combination of buttons) while turning on the power to the printer.
Long test mode If the printer is turned on while the C-E% button is pressed, the printer will enter the long self-test mode. The printer will start printing as soon as the M-R FEE, button is released, and will print the version number of the printer’s ROM, eg “*** Ver 1.
Text test mode In this mode, the printer will print the Memory Switch menus and options. This mode is accessed by turning on the printer at the same time as holding down the CIfEBEZ button.
Hexadecimal dump mode In this mode, all received data will be printed in a hexadecimal dump format, rather than the control codes being acted on as command codes. This mode is accessed by tuming on the printer, while simultaneously holding down the ‘+!S‘ and /ME, F!? keys.
Bidirectional test/adjustment mode This mode is used to adjust the alignment of the print head on successive bidirectional passes. After a period of some months, your printer may work itself out of alignment on left and right printing passes, showing itself most obviously in graphics printing.

chapter 7 MS-DOS AND YOUR PRINTER When using your printer with an IBM PC, PC-XT or PC-AT or compatible, you will probably be using PC-DOS or MS-DOS as an operating system. A number of software tricks may be useful here. This section is not, however, a substitute for the operating system manuals supplied with your computer.
If your word-processor does not allow you to change fonts, it may allow a pause in printing. Insert a “pause” command in your text file at the point where you want to change fonts. When the document is printed, printing will then pause at that point.
GRAPHICS HARD COPY On a PC-compatible computer running under MS-DOS, you can use the m and @t!$$J keys on the computer together to obtain a printout of a text screen. To print out a graphics screen, you will have to run the program GRAPHICS.COM. See your MS-DOS manual for further details.
The resulting file should be sent to the printer using the COPY command, eg: A>COPY LQ.DAT PRN prior to printing document files. Of course, this command can also be included in a batch file. PROGRAMMING USING BASIC As discussed earlier, a version of BASIC is usually supplied with PC- compatible machines.
