For this purpose, the signal character ESC, followed by the specific sequence must be transmitted from the computer to the printer. For instance, by pressing Ctrl and J a line feed is accomplished it is required to output the character string on the printer.
Page Mtpl Printout 2 - 4 BACK As the emulations do not cover the entire scope of your printer, a new printer language has been created.
Using MTPL you are able to optimize operation and handling. MTPL can be used in connection with other emulations or can be used alone. In the following table the available sequences in the various emulations are marked with the symbol tion modes. Page Barcode List of available barcodes BACK Your printer is equipped with a barcode mode; you can print up to 19 differ- ent barcodes.
Barcode mode can be accessed within every emulation. The user can decide whether barcode is activated permanently or activated depending on the situation by means of an escape sequence. A control sequence Header defines the parameters of the used barcode once e. Therefore your printer has the possibility of scaling standard size characters up to factor 99 by means of control sequences.
The Header sequence defines the parameters e. This definition remains until the printer is switched off. Page Configuring The Printer For Your Computer Using an original printer driver provides the best pre-requisites for optimum printing results. Ask your dealer for printer drivers or use our Internet ho- mepage to obtain the current printer driver see the back of the manual for the homepage address.
This chapter provides information on the rectification of faults without the assistance of specially trained personnel. Follow the advice and tips in this chapter if your printer is not working correctly. With these tests it is possible to check the print quality, proper operation of the printhead and the mechanics, as well as efficient data transmission from the computer to the printer. Page 54 It is also possible to change to Setup mode when you are in Test mode if you want to change the configuration for the test printout.
To do this, press the key Setup. The printer then changes to Setup mode and the first of the 15 main levels is then displayed. Test mode can only be terminated by switching off the printer. If you want to stop the test printout before you switch off the printer, then press the key Online. Test functions and hardware settings The printed data can now be analyzed and evaluated see chapter 2 Emulations.
Page Setting The Formlen Function The value defined here is set in all three menus and for all paper paths if you load the default configuration by holding all four soft keys while switching on the printer see chapter 1 Key functions when turning on the printer. Put the printer into this Test mode by pressing the keys 1, 2 and On- line while switching on the printer as shown below for about three seconds.
Page 63 Exit. Press the key Exit to finish TOF adjustment mode. The display changes to: The printer prints vertical bars with numbers as follows. Page Troubleshooting Troubleshooting The display remains dark 1. Check that the power plug is correctly connected to the socket on the printer. Check that the power plug is seated properly in the wall socket. Switch on the printer again. If the printer is now connected correctly, Online Check that the printer is Online.
If the displays shows Offline, then printer does not print 2. Check the connection from the printer to the computer interface cable 1. Check that paper is inserted and loaded.
Refer to Part I, Inserting paper. Page Paper Jam Fanfold Paper 4. Gently pull the continuous form feed paper to the front until all the paper is 5. If any part sticks out above the printer, pull it up to remove it. Ensure that there are no torn paper bits remaining inside the printer, then If the problem persists, check again for any paper remaining inside the printer. Please do not touch the metal part of the print head. Pro- ceed with the following steps with the printer placed on a flat and stable sur- face.
See Part I, Tear function. It is only possible to tear off when fanfold paper is used. Troubleshooting 3 - 19 QUIT Check that the length of the interface cable is not longer than 2 m for parallel and 15 m for serial interfaces. CG table or character set is selected in the Setup menu. The printer has been switched on, but no paper has been inserted. Insert paper in the active sheet feeder. The printer prints at lower speed, no action required. Check the following: Whether the paper path is blocked by a foreign object.
Whether the paper is damaged. Page Additional Display Messages Turn paperlever BACK These are not error messages, they give operating instructions and infor- mation from the printer to the user. You can press any key. The factory-set parameters are loaded and are written into all macros. You are informed when the fanfold paper is in the park position. It is recom- mended to check the ribbon from time to time and to clean the platen and the paper rollers. Preventive maintenance is not necessary.
Check that any paper has been removed from the tractors. Check whether the ribbon is worn or damaged. The ribbon must be replaced if it is frayed, see Part I, Replacing the ribbon cassette.
The service life of the black monochrome ribbon is 4 million characters. Note that MTPL sequences are available in all emulation modes. The following example shows you how to find the hexadecimal value for a character from the symbol set tables.
Page 82 Interfaces BACK Your matrix printer offers the possibility of operating either via a parallel or via a serial interface. This appendix informs you about both interfaces. The bidirectional parallel interface IEEE is standard for these printers. The signals are received and transmitted by a 25 pin connector. Basically 3 lines are already enough for exchanging information between computer and printer one receive line, one send line, one line for common grounding.
If graphics printer sequences or sequences containing 05 hex.
