Parts - an explanation The paper guides hold single sheets and sets their posi- tion so that they are fed into the printer correctly. The paper entrances are where paper feeds into the printer. There is one for single sheets, and two for com- puter (fanfold) paper—rear and bottom.
The tractor unit grips the sides of fanfold computer paper. When you use the tractor unit, the tractor cov- ers must be closed. Page 6.
I Chapter 2 Unpacking and setting up Choosing a place for the printer Before you start unpacking and setting up your printer, make sure that you have a suitable place to put it. By a “suitable place”, we mean: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● A firm, level surface where the printer will be stable, and vibration-free.
I Unpacking the printer As you unpack the printer from the box, make sure that you have all the following items: 2 Printer driver A’ -4 and font disk &2 guide m If any of these are missing, please contact your supplier.
If your computer has no parallel port available, you will need to use the Serial-Parallel converter (SPC-8K) and a cable to connect your computer to the printer. See “The SPC-8K serial/parallel converter” on page 67 for full details. Setting up your printer Remove the printer and all supplied parts from the packing material.
I Removing the front cover You will need to remove the front cover (the smoked plastic cover on the top of the printer) to install and change ribbon cartridges. Lift the cover from the rear using the grips on the sides, then lift up to remove the cover from the body of the printer.
● Place the cartridge on the cartridge carrier inside the printer. Make sure that the ribbon is between the print head and the print head shield. Press the cartridge so that it “clicks” into place. If the cart- ridge does not “click” into position on both sides, you may need to turn the cartridge knob about 1/4 of a turn clockwise.
Removing the ribbon cartridge ● To remove the ribbon cartridge, press the cartridge grips inward and lift the cartridge upward out of the printer. Installing the roller unit ● Open the rear cover by pushing the cover grips backward and upward.
● Push the front of the roller unit down firmly, so that the unit “clicks” into place. If it does not fit properly, remove it and try again. Removing the roller unit ● Pull both gray locking tabs towards you and lift the front of the roller unit slightly to remove the roller unit.
1’ Installing the paper guide You can set the paper guide on the LC24-300 Colour in one of two positions: horizontal for fanfold paper and vertical for single sheets. ● Hold the paper guide, either horizontally, or verti- cally, depending on the type of paper used.
● Hold the mute cover upright so that the ridges on the cover are towards you and at the top. ,0 ● Slide the left tab on the mute cover into the left hole on the front cover. ● Drop the right tab on the mute cover into the right slot on the front cover.
● Press the cable plug into the printer socket: ● Clip the cable into the socket using the wire clips on either side of the socket. ● Connect the ‘D’ connector on the other end of the cable to the parallel (printer) port on your computer. This will probably be labelled Printer, Parallel, PRN, LPT1 or something similar.
I Setting up your printer with your computer In this section, you will learn to set up your printer with two different computer environments: MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows 3.1 (or a later version of Windows). If your computer uses a different operating system, you should refer to Chapter 5 for details of setting up your printer.
I When you open the box containing your LC24-300 Colour, the printer is set to Epson emulation. This is commonly supported by most software. If your software package gives you a list of printers to ch.
If your software doesn’t list printer names, but asks you questions about your printer, you should answer “Yes” to the following two questions: ● “Can your printer perform a backspace?” ● “Can your printer do a hardware form feed?” The answers to any other questions are not so impor- tant.
I To install the printer driver under Windows 3.1, do the following: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Turn on the printer and start up your computer. If Windows does not start up automatically, type WIN and then press [ZN7EY] or [~). Double-click the Control Panel icon in the Main win- dow.
If you cannot print from your applications programs after installing the driver, refer to the section “In Win- dows” on page 89. Note: Unless the user chooses a different printer from within the application, Windows applications always print to the cur- rently selected default printer.
I Selecting different fonts If you are running applications software under Windows, you will select fonts from within your applica- tion (refer to your application’s manual for details).
Chapter 3 Using your printer Loading paper The LC24-300 Colour can print on a variety of paper types, as explained below: Cut sheet paper The LC24-300 Colour can use single sheets of paper (cut sheets) or letterheaded stationery. Use the friction feed or the optional SF-1ODW automatic sheet feeder.
Where you can print on each kind of paper Fanfold forms Single sheets 18 mm 5 mm 5 mm Perforation Bottom of Form . 81 mm o 0 0 5 mm If you print outside these limits, you run the risk of damaging the printer mechanism (and tearing the paper or jamming it as it goes through the printer).
is narrowed (thin paper), and if you pull it towards the front, the gap is widened (thick paper). As you move the lever, you can feel it click between the six different positions. Position number 2 (starting from the rearmost position) is the one you will generally use for single sheets of paper (fanfold or cut sheet).
Loading cut sheet paper This procedure shows you how to load cut sheet paper using the paper guide. If you are using the SF- 10DW automatic sheet feeder, please refer to “Using the SF- 10DW” on page 65. . This is how cut sheet paper is fed through the printer: .
● ● ● Press the (SET/EJECT) button. This should make the printer feed the paper round the platen until it is in a position suitable for printing. The ON LINE indicator should come on. If this does not happen, you have probably not loaded the paper correctly.
I Loading paper from the rear of the printer Always load fanfold paper with the printer’s power turned OFF. ● ● ● ● ● Place the stack of fanfold paper behind and below the printer. Pull the release lever at the right of the printer towards you ( n ).
lock each tractor pin unit in place again when you have finished moving it. “ “Close the pin unit covers after you have made sure that the paper holes are properly lined up with the tractor pins. If the holes and pins are not correctly lined up, you may find that the paper tears and jams.
Loading paper from the bottom of the printer Always load fanfold paper into the printer with the prin- ter’s power turned OFF. . Remove the front cover and the roller unit. See “Removing the front cover” on page 10 and “Removing the roller unit” on page 13 for details.
tractor pins. If the holes and pins are not correctly lined up, you may find that the paper tears and jams. Note: If the paper is too tightly stretched or too loose between the pin holders, the paper will tear or jam as it is fed through the printer. You may need to experiment to find the ideal tension.
● Press the [SET/EJECT] button. The printer will feed the fanfold paper back until it is out of the way. ● Move the release lever to the back ( N ) position. “ Place the paper guide in the upright position. Load single sheets as described in “Loading cut sheet paper” on page 26.
I Chapter 4 Using the control panel The LC24-300 Colour control panel has five buttons, which have white labels above them to indicate their pri- mary functions. Other functions are available as alter- native functions (labelled in brown) or by pressing combinations of buttons (labelled in yellow).
restart from the point where it left off when you make the printer ready again. Feeding paper through the printer There are a number of ways in which you can feed paper through the printer. One line or several lines at a time Make the printer not-ready, and press the [PAPER FEED) button.
1’ ● When you press the [~] button again, the paper will move back to its original position. Loading paper For the most part, paper loading is described in Chapter 3. However, one important point to note is that if paper has not been loaded, the printer will indicate that it is not-ready.
I ● ● ● ● ● Set the paper position to the top of a page (where you want the printing to start on each page) using the micro-feed functions (page 35). Press and hold down the [~] button. While holding down the [~] button, press the m button. Release both buttons.
change the position again using this procedure, or until the power to the printer is turned off. . If you want to save this value for future use (after the printer has been turned off and on again), you must save it as a macro. See “Saving Macros” on page 42.
● Press the [PAPER FEED] button. The printer will beep once and ~ will appear on the display. ● To cancel quiet mode, the printer must be in the ready mode. Press the [PAPER FEED] button. The printer will beep twice and ~ will disappear from the display.

ends after you clear the buffer, the printer will beep three times. The printer’s default settings will be restored. Locking the printer It’s sometimes useful to be able to lock settings using the front panel. If your computer sends unwanted com- mands, they won’t accidentally change settings.
● While holding down the [~] button, turn the printer on again. . Keep holding down the [~) button until the printer beeps, and the display shows m. You can put the printer in not-ready mode and change the pitch using the [FE@ button (“Changing the pitch of the font” on page 39).
I Test printing The following modes allow you to produce test prints which show off the capabilities of your printer, and also confirm that it is in good working order. Short test To print the short test, first make sure there is paper in the printer: .
. Make sure the printer is loaded with fanfold paper, and that it is turned OFF. . Press and hold down the (PAPER FEED] button. . While holding down the (PAPER FEED] button, turn on the printer. . Release the [PAPER FEED) button. The test pattern will start printing.
● We can guess from this that the paper is probably - international A4 size. . If you use this feature with fanfold paper, only the top message will be printed. ● The printer is ready to start printing normally after it has printed the bottom message.
To enter the hexadecimal dump mode, make sure paper is loaded into the printer. ● ● ● ● Turn the printer OFF. Press and hold down the and the L buttons.
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Press and hold down both the and the Turn on the printer. After a few seconds. release the buttons. The display will show “d/?” (dot adjustment).

Chapter 5 Optional accessories Accessories available The LC24-300 Colour has two optional accessories available for it: the SF- 10DW Automatic sheet feeder, and the SPC-8K Serial/Parallel converter. T S The SF- 10DW allows you to load cut sheet paper, which will be automatically fed, one sheet at a time, for printing.
If any of these items is missing, contact your supplier. The SF-1ODW is protected by packing material and tape when it is shipped from the factory. Make sure that you remove all packing material and tape before you start to use the SF- 10DW.
● ● ● ● Make sure that the mounting brackets on both sides of the SF- 10DW are properly mounted on the printer. If they have been properly mounted, you can use the platen knob to turn the ejection roller on the SF- 10DW. Install the printer cover supplied with the SF- 10DW .
Push the paper release lever to the back position ( ~). Pull the SF- 10DW paper loading lever forward the hopper forward. to pull ● ● Adjust the left paper guide to the position at which you want the left edge of the paper. Take about 50 sheets of paper (about 20 lb weight), fan them and square them off before putting them into the SF- 10DW.
● ● ● ● Insert the paper into the SF- 10DW. Do not attempt to force sheets into the feeder. If the stack of paper does not fit easily into the feeder, remove some sheets and try again. Adjust the right paper guide to allow the paper to go through the feeder smoothly, without allowing it to move from side to side.
These switches control the way in which the SPC-8K expects the data to come from your computer, and will return data to your computer when necessary. You must also make sure your computer’s serial ports match the settings you make on the SPC-8K. You will need a serial cable in addition to the SPC-8K (see page 71).
Set switch 2 ON if you don’t want parity checking, and set it to OFF if you want parity checking. If you have set switch 2 to OFF, you must choose whether you are going to use even or odd parity. IF switch 5 is ON, the SPC-8K will use odd parity, and if this switch is OFF, the SPC-8K will use even parity.
I . Disconnect the parallel interface cable from the printer (if connected). . Connect the parallel connector of the SPC-8K (the connector on the cable) to the printer’s parallel conec- ctor. Move both clips on the printer connector inside the clips on the SPC-8K connector until they click into place.
The only other thing to remember is the buffer memory. The LC24-300 Colour contains memory which can be used as a print buffer (page 57) which must be cleared (“Clearing the buffer” on page 43) if a print job is to be halted. The SPC-8K also contains a buffer, which must also be cleared if you are to halt a print job successfully.

If you are using a parallel cable, you will probably be using LPT1. If you are using the SPC-8K serial-to-parallel con- verter, you will be using COM1 or COM2.
Chapter 7 Software commands Introduction The LC24-300 Colour has two emulation modes: Standard/Epson mode and IBM mode. In the Standard/Epson mode, the printer emulates the Epson LQ-860/850, and can also recognize the graphics commands of NEC 24-wire printers.
Both Both Standard/Epson and IBM modes ASCII: Indicates the ASCII coding of the command. Control characters are enclosed in angle brackets: For example, <1> means character code 1. Decimal: Gives the command in decimal character codes. Hexadecimal: Gives the command in hexadecimal char- acter codes.
