Do not use paper that is wrinkled or curled at the edges. • Do not use paper with staples or metal parts. • Do not use paper with unpredictable variations in thickness, such as paper with partial multilayers, paper with embossed printing, and labels with the backing sheet exposed. • Store paper in a clean, dry environment. Multipart Forms • Avoid using carbon-interleaved single sheets if possible. Printing tends to become misaligned on the bottom sheet. • To ensure smoother feeding of paper-stapled, multipart forms, raise the cut sheet stand to support the forms. 3-18 User's Manual PAPER HANDLING When printing envelopes, use the cut sheet stand or the manual feed slot of the cut sheet feeder. Note the following: Labels Setting Up Paper Handling Printing • Be careful to check operating conditions when using labels. Labels are sensitive to temperature and humidity. • Only use labels mounted on continuous forms backing sheets.Do not print labels mounted on single sheet backing. Labels mounted on single sheet backing tend to slip and printing becomes crooked. • Set the paper thickness lever to best accommodate label thickness. • Do not feed labels backwards using the LOAD button from the control panel. Jamming may occur. • Do not use the printer tear-off feature when printing labels. If the labels are retracted, the backing may peel off and the labels may jam in the printer. • Do not leave labels loaded in the printer. If labels curl around the platen, jamming may occur when printing is resumed. • Test-print labels before running a job. If jams occur, set the paper thickness lever to a wider position. If jamming problems continue, try a different type of label. Introduction • Set the paper thickness lever to best accommodate envelope thickness. • When loading envelopes, make sure that the envelope flaps face forward. Otherwise, the envelopes may jam in the printer.

Press the ONLINE button to return online. You are ready to print PRINTING using the selected menu. Starting Printing Before you start to print, make sure that paper is loaded. Also, verify that the paper thickness lever is set to the appropriate position (1 to D). To start printing, press the ONLINE button to place the printer online. Then start your software. To stop printing immediately, press the ONLINE button to place the printer offline. You can also use your software to stop printing, but there will be a slight delay before printing stops. Any data sent to the print buffer but not yet printed is stored until you resume printing. Data in the print buffer is lost if you turn the printer off. Printing Resuming from a Paper-Out See Chapter 5 for details on setting PPR-OUT. The factory default is to stop printing if continuous forms paper runs out and to continue printing if single sheet paper runs out. To resume printing when paper runs out, use either of the methods described below: 4-5 Setup Mode The printer can “sense” when paper runs out. Depending upon how PPROUT (paper-out) is set in setup mode, the printer either: • Stops printing and lights the red PAPER OUT indicator, or • Continues printing until no more data remains in the printer. User's Manual Paper Handling To resume printing, press the ONLINE button again. To cancel printing, use the cancel commands provided by your software or computer. To clear the print buffer, place the printer offline and press the MENU and TEAR OFF buttons. Any data sent to the print buffer before you canceled printing will be lost. Setting Up Stopping Printing Introduction STARTING OR STOPPING PRINTING PRINTING Printing the remaining lines on a page This method is convenient to continue printing under the paper-out condition. 1. Press the ONLINE button. The printer returns to online mode, prints or feeds one line, and the PAPER OUT indicator lights up again. 2. Repeat this procedure until the full page is printed. Line spacings, however, may be uneven. CAUTION When using the cut sheet stand or when printing remaining lines, be careful not to print on the platen. Printing on the platen may damage both the platen and the print head. Continuing printing after supplying paper 1. Install paper on the forms tractors, or on the cut sheet stand. 2. To load the first sheet of paper, press the LOAD button. The PAPER OUT indicator will turn off. 3. Press the ONLINE button to place the printer online. The printer resumes printing. NOTE For continuous forms paper, the page where printing stopped and the page where printing resumes may be incorrectly printed. In this case, wait for the entire job to finish printing. Then reprint the incorrect pages. 4-6 User's Manual PRINTING Quick Reference Resuming from an Area Over PRINTING The AREA OVER indicator functions when AREACNT (area control) is set to ENABLE in setup mode. See Chapter 5 for information on setting AREACNT. The factory default is not to sense the edges. If paper is darkcolored or preprinted, the printer may not be able to sense the edges correctly. In this case, disable the sensor. 1. Stop your software and press the ONLINE button to place the printer offline. Paper Handling 2. Adjust the horizontal position of the paper or change the margin settings in the printer setup menu or your software. Setting Up To resume printing when the AREA OVER indicator is on: Introduction The printer senses the left and right edges of paper and stores their positions when the paper is loaded. If your software will print data past either edge, the printer ignores that data but does not stop printing. Rather, the AREA OVER indicator lights to call your attention to the loss of data. 3. Press the ONLINE button to place the printer online. Restart the software from the page that includes the lost data. Printing Setup Mode User's Manual 4-7 PRINTING REMOVING PRINTED PAGES This section describes the best methods for removing single sheets or continuous forms paper after printing. Removing Single Sheets When you print using software, the printer automatically ejects each sheet of paper when the end of the printed page is reached. To eject sheets manually, use one of the following methods: • Press and hold down the LF/FF button to execute a form feed, or • Turn the platen knob clockwise. Removing Continuous Forms To avoid wasting paper, use the printer tear-off function to remove continuous forms paper. Press the TEAR OFF button to advance the perforation to the tear-off edge. Tear the paper off, and then press any button to retract the paper back to the top-of-form position. See Chapter 3 for more detailed instructions. CLEARING THE PRINT BUFFER Press the MENU and TEAR OFF buttons simultaneously to clear all data from the print buffer. This method is useful when you cancel a print operation and do not want to continue printing data already sent to the printer. This method does not change or clear MENU1 and MENU2 settings, paper loading position settings, and downloaded fonts. 4-8 User's Manual USING SETUP MODE Introduction Your printer has two modes: normal and setup. Normal mode is used for everyday printer operations and is explained in Chapters 3 and 4. Quick Reference USING SETUP MODE Setup mode serves two purposes. It enables you to: • Select the printer’s optional settings • Help diagnose printer problems Setting Up Optional settings on the printer include the emulation, fonts, pitch, page length and page width, serial interface options, and the top-of-form setting. When you save your settings in the printer’s permanent memory, they become the new settings or defaults. These defaults are invoked whenever you turn on the printer. For example, if you save DPL24C PLUS as the default emulation, DPL24C PLUS is invoked when you turn on the printer. Paper Handling The printer diagnostic functions are SELF-TST, HEX-DUMP, and V-ALMNT. These functions are helpful for printer trouble-shooting, as described in Chapter 7. Printing The sections in this chapter are presented in logical sequence. If you are a first-time user, be sure to read the following sections first: Setup Mode Mode Setup HOW TO USE THIS CHAPTER These setup mode functions can be done either offline, using the printer control panel (offline setup), or remotely, using a setup program in your computer system or software (online setup). Primarily, this chapter explains how to use the offline setup mode. The online setup mode, which is reviewed briefly at the end of this chapter, is valid in all emulations. For details, refer to the programmer's manuals. • Entering Setup Mode • Overview of Setup Mode User's Manual 5-1 USING SETUP MODE These sections will familiarize you with how setup mode works. Once you understand the basics, use the following sections to select printer options that are compatible with your computer system’s hardware and software setup: • • • • • • • Printing a List of Selected Options Deciding Which Options to Change Changing MENU1 and MENU2 Options Changing Hardware Options Changing Print Position Adjustment Options Changing Configuration Options Exiting and Saving To restore the printer default settings (factory defaults or power-on defaults), see the section Resetting Defaults later in this chapter. For information on using the SELF-TST, HEX-DUMP, and V-ALMNT functions, see the section Using the Diagnostic Functions later in this chapter.

This section introduces online setup mode. The tedious task of setting up printer features one-by-one from the control panel and printing and checking the desired options on paper can be avoided by using online setup mode. In online setup mode, printer features are set via the computer rather than the printer control panel. Put the printer in online setup mode, in either of the following two ways: • Turn the printer off and then turn the printer back on while pressing the MENU button. Hold down the button until the printer beeps. • Issue the printer command ESC e ONLINE. This command is valid in any emulation. Send setup data from the computer in any of the following three ways: • Enter setup data directly from the computer keyboard before starting your job. With MS-DOS, hold down the Ctrl key and type P. Data entered from the keyboard is sent directly to the printer. When data entry is complete, hold down the Ctrl key again and type P. This method is useful when just a few settings need to be changed. • Use an editor program to prepare a setup data file and then send the file to the printer using a command before starting your job. With MS-DOS, use the COPY command. This method is useful when settings are used repeatedly. • Write a program that enables interactive entry of setup data on the CRT screen. This method is the most useful of the three. Check with your dealer for currently available programs. To exit from online setup mode, send EXIT as the last setup data. For details of setup data and its format, refer to the programmer's manual for each emulation. 5-60 User's Manual
