MAINTENANCE Your printer requires very little care. Occasional cleaning and replacement of the ribbon cartridge are all that is required. Maintenance MAINTENANCE Lubrication of the printer is not usually necessary. If the print head carriage does not move smoothly back and forth, clean the printer as described in this chapter. If the problem continues, contact your dealer to determine whether lubrication might be needed. CLEANING The front and back covers, the ejection cover, and the acoustic cover of the printer help protect against dust, dirt, and other contaminants. However, paper produces small particles that accumulate inside the printer. This section explains how to clean and vacuum the printer and how to clean the platen and paper bail rollers. It is easier to clean the printer when the front cover, the ejection cover, and the cut sheet stand and back cover are removed. Cleaning and Vacuuming the Printer WARNING To avoid any possibility of injury, before cleaning the printer, turn off the power to both the printer and the computer, and unplug the printer. Use the following procedure to clean and vacuum the printer as required: 1. Remove any paper from the printer. Make sure that the power is off, and then disconnect the printer power cord. 2. Using a soft vacuum brush, vacuum the exterior of the printer. Be sure to vacuum the air vents at the front, left sides, and bottom of the printer. Also vacuum the cut sheet stand or feeder. User's Manual 6-1 MAINTENANCE 3. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the printer, including the covers and separator. A mild detergent may be used. CAUTION Do not use solvents, kerosene, or abrasive cleaning materials that may damage the printer. 4. Open the front cover of the printer and remove the ribbon cartridge. Using a soft vacuum brush, gently vacuum the platen, print head carriage, and surrounding areas. You can easily slide the print head to the left or right when the power is off.

You can solve many of these problems yourself, using this chapter. If you encounter problems that you cannot resolve, contact your dealer for assistance. This chapter is organized as follows: • Solving problems • Diagnostic functions • Getting help SOLVING PROBLEMS The tables in this section describe common printer problems and their solutions. The following types of problems are considered: • • • • Print quality problems Paper handling problems Operating problems Printer failures Print Quality Problems Poor print quality or other printing problems are often caused by incorrect printer setup or incorrect software settings. A gradual decrease in print quality usually indicates a worn ribbon. Table 7.1 identifies common print quality problems and suggests solutions. User's Manual 7-1 TROUBLE-SHOOTING Table 7.1 Print Quality Problems and Solutions Problem Printing is too light or too dark. Solution Make sure that the ribbon cartridge is properly installed and that the ribbon feeds smoothly. Make sure that the paper thickness lever is set for the thickness of your paper. See Table 3.2 in Chapter 3. Check ribbon wear. Replace the ribbon if necessary. Stains or smudges appear on the page. Make sure that the paper thickness lever is set for the thickness of your paper. See Table 3.2 in Chapter 3. Check ribbon wear. Replace the ribbon if necessary. Check whether the tip of the print head is dirty. Clean the head with a soft cloth if necessary. The page is blank. Make sure that the ribbon cartridge is properly installed. Printing is erratic or the wrong characters are printed. Many "?" characters are printed. Make sure that the interface cable is securely connected to both the printer and computer. Make sure that the printer emulation selected in your software is the same as the emulation selected on the printer. See the section Selecting an Emulation in Chapter 2. If you are using an RS-232C serial interface, make sure that the serial settings required by your software or computer are the same as the settings on the printer. See the section Changing Hardware Options in Chapter 5. 7-2 User's Manual TROUBLE-SHOOTING Table 7.1 Print Quality Problems and Solutions (Cont.) Problem Solution Use the printer’s V-ALMNT function to check the vertical print alignment. If necessary, adjust the print alignment. See the section Using the Diagnostic Functions in Chapter 5. The top margin is wrong. The top margin is the sum of the top-of-form setting, the software-specified top margin, and the printer’s TOP-MRG setting. Proceed as follows: Troubleshooting Printing is vertically misaligned (jagged). • Make sure that the top-of-form setting is correct. The factory default is 25.4 mm (1 inch). See the section Changing Top-of Form in Chapter 5. • Check the software-specified top margin. Refer to your software documentation. • Check the printer’s TOP-MRG setting. See the section Changing MENU1 and MENU2 Options in Chapter 5. Lines are double spaced instead of single spaced. User's Manual Check the line spacing setting in your software. Change the CR-CODE setting in the printer setup mode to CR ONLY. See the section Changing MENU1 and MENU2 Options in Chapter 5. The printer overprints on the same line. Change the CR-CODE setting in the printer setup mode to CR & LF. See the section Changing MENU1 and MENU2 Options in Chapter 5. The next print line starts where the previous line ended instead of at the left margin. Change the LF-CODE setting in the printer setup mode to LF & CR. See the section Changing MENU1 and MENU2 Options in Chapter 5. 7-3 TROUBLE-SHOOTING Paper Handling Problems Table 7.2 describes common paper handling problems and suggests solutions. See Chapter 3 for detailed procedures on loading and using paper. Table 7.2 Paper Handling Problems and Solutions Problem Solution Paper cannot be loaded or fed. Make sure that the paper select lever is set correctly. Move the lever backward for continuous forms and forward for single sheets. Make sure that the paper covers the paper-out sensor, i.e., the left paper edge is within 52 mm for single sheets or 41 mm for continuous forms from the left edge of the platen. (This problem cannot occur if you use the forms tractor unit or insert a single sheet with its left edge in contact with the left paper guide.) Make sure that the paper holder is closed and forms tractors are positioned correctly to match the width of your paper. 7-4 User's Manual TROUBLE-SHOOTING Table 7.2 Paper Handling Problems and Solutions (Cont.) Problem Turn off the printer and remove the jammed paper. Remove any obstructions from the paper path. Make sure that the paper thickness lever is set for the thickness of your paper. See Table 3.2 in Chapter 3. Make sure that the paper is not folded, creased, or torn. Reload the paper. Paper jams while printing. Turn off the printer and remove the jammed paper. Remove any obstructions from the paper path. Make sure that the paper thickness lever is set for the thickness of your paper. See Table 3.2 in Chapter 3. For continuous forms, make sure that the incoming and outgoing paper stacks are correctly placed. Paper should feed straight. Paper slips off the forms tractors or the perforated holes of the paper tear during printing. User's Manual Make sure that the forms tractors are positioned correctly for the width of your paper and that the perforated holes of the paper fit directly over the tractor sprockets. 7-5 Troubleshooting Paper jams while loading. Solution TROUBLE-SHOOTING Tips for clearing a jammed sheet from the printer If a sheet of paper is jammed between the print head and the platen and cannot be removed, clear it as follows: 1. Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord from the receptacle. 2. Push up the locking levers to rlease the forms tractors and open the paper holders. 3. Move the paper thickness lever to position D. 4. Move the print head so that you can remove the jammed sheet easily and clear the sheet. NOTE The print head is hot immediately after printing. Move it after making sure that it gets cool. • 7-6 If you cannot clear the jammed sheet by the above procedure, set fourfold continuous forms paper on the forms tractors and turn the platen knob to feed the paper forward. The jammed paper is pushed out. Before operation, be sure to position the print head at the center of the jammed paper. User's Manual TROUBLE-SHOOTING Operating Problems If any of the errors listed in Table 7.3 occurs, the PAPER OUT LED lights up, and an alarm beeps, and the printer goes offline. Troubleshooting In such cases, the buttons on the control panel can be used in the same manner as those when the printer is in the offline state. Table 7.3 Operating Problems and Solutions Error name Error description Paper end (PE) error Paper end is detected. Eject jam error Continuous form/ cut sheet switch lever error Load jam error User's Manual (*1) Paper end is not detected even after a large amount of continuous forms or cut sheets were ejected. In continuous form loading status, the continuous form/ cut sheet switch lever is switched to cut sheet mode. In cut sheet loading status, the continuous form/cut sheet switch lever is switched to continuous form mode. If the error occurs, all buttons are disabled. After the tractor PE sensor detected the form at continuous form loading, the TOF sensor does not detect the top of the form even after line feed is executed a certain number of times. After the set sensor detects the sheet at cut sheet loading, the TOF sensor does not detect he top of the sheet even after line feed is executed a certain number of times. Recovery method - Insert and load the paper in the paper tray. - Eject forms or sheets. - Press the online button to turn the printer online. - Switch the continuous form/cut sheet switch lever back to its original position. - Remove the loaded paper. - Execute the loading operation. - Press the online button to turn the printer online. - When the cut sheets are loaded, remove the sheets once, and then insert them again. They are then loaded automatically. 7-7 TROUBLE-SHOOTING LEDs light up depending on the following error types.

User's Manual 7-9 TROUBLE-SHOOTING DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONS The printer diagnostic functions are SELF-TST, HEX-DUMP, and V-ALMNT. • SELF-TST tells you whether the printer hardware is functioning correctly. If the printer hardware is functional, any problems you are having are probably caused by incorrect printer settings, incorrect software settings, the interface, or the computer. • HEX-DUMP allows you to determine whether the computer is sending the correct commands to the printer, and whether the printer is executing the commands correctly. This function is useful to programmers or others who understand how to interpret hex dumps. • V-ALMNT allows you to check and, if necessary, correct the printer’s vertical print alignment. For details on using these functions, all of which are available in the printer setup mode, see the section Using the Diagnostic Functions in Chapter 5. GETTING HELP If you are not able to correct a problem using this chapter, contact your dealer for assistance. Be prepared to provide the following information: • Your printer model number, serial number, and date of manufacture. Look for this information on the rating label on the left side of the printer. • Description of the problem • Type of interface you are using • Names of your software packages • List of the printer default settings.

You can specify the interface selection mode so that the printer uses which interface or it can automatically select the interface from which it first receives data. This appendix provides information you may need for wiring your own interface cables or for programming computer-to-printer communications. Most users do not need the information in this appendix. To simply connect your printer to your computer, follow the instructions in Chapter 2. PARALLEL INTERFACE This parallel interface can operate in the following two modes: • Unidirectional (forward channel) mode or conventional mode: This printer supports a conventional Centronics interface. • Bidirectional (forward/reverse channel) mode or nibble mode: This printer supports a bidirectional communication per Nibble mode of the IEEE 1284 Standard. The cable connector at the printer side should be a shielded, Amphenol DDK 57FE-30360 or equivalent. The connector pin assignments are given in the following tables by modes. In the tables: • “Input” denotes a signal from the computer to the printer. • “Output” denotes a signal from the printer to the computer. Interface • The return lines specified in the second column represent twisted pairs, with one side connected to signal ground. • The standard signal levels are 0.0 to +0.4 V (low), and +2.4 to +5.0 V (high).

The printer reads data when this signal is low. The pulse width must be 1 µs or more at the receiving terminal. Input Data 8 (pin 9) is the most significant bit; however, this pin is not used in 7-bit ASCII communications. Logical 1 signals must go high at least 1 µs before the falling edge of the Data Strobe signal and must stay high for at least 1 µs after the rising edge. 10 28 Acknowledge (ACK) Output This pulse signal indicates that the printer has received data and is ready to accept the next set of data. This signal is also sent when the printer is switched from offline to online. 11 29 Busy Output Data cannot be received when this signal is high. This signal is high during data entry, when the printer is offline, when the buffer is full, or when an error occurs. 12 30 Paper Empty (PE) Output This signal is high when the printer is out of paper.

Following a reverse data transfer, the interface enters the reverse idle phase when the Host Busy signal goes low and the printer has no data. Reverse idle phase: This signal goes high when the Printer Clock signal goes low so that the interface re-enters the reverse data transfer phase. If it goes high with the 1284 Active signal low, the 1284 idle phase is aborted and the interface returns to the compatibility mode. 32 – Data Available Output Reverse data transfer phase: This signal is set low when the printer is ready to send data to the host. During the data transfer, it is used as data bit 0 (LSB), then data bit 4. Reverse idle phase: This signal is used to indicate that data is available. 36 – 1284 Active Input This signal goes high to cause the printer to enter the reverse data transfer phase (nibble mode). D-6 User's Manual INTERFACE INFORMATION Data Transmission Timing In unidirectional mode (conventional Centronics interface), this printer guarantees the received data when the Data and Data Strobe signals from the computer have the following timing with respect to the Busy and Acknowledge signals from the printer.

User's Manual INTERFACE INFORMATION Serial Options The serial options for the computer and the printer must match. Use the printer control panel, the computer operating system, or your software to change options specified as “selectable.” Transmission mode: Asynchronous, full duplex, or half duplex (selectable) Speed: 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200 baud (selectable) Data bits: 7 or 8 bits (selectable) Parity bit: Odd, even, mark, space, or none (selectable) Start bit: 1 bit Stop bit: 1 or 2 bits (selectable) Protocol: XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3), DTR (Data Terminal Ready), or RC (Reverse Channel) (selectable) Buffer size: 256, 2K, 8K, 24K, 32K, 96K, or 128K bytes (selectable) Cable Wiring This printer allows two types of serial communication control: DSR-enabled and DSR-disabled. The type of control required is determined by your computer requirements. The type of control also affects the way the interface cable is wired. To determine whether you need DSR-enabled control or DSRdisabled control, use the printer HARDWRE function (see Chapter 5). User's Manual D-9 Interface DSR-disabled control offers simpler cabling and communication than does DSR-enabled control. DSR-disabled control can be used to interface with an IBM PC and most other personal computers. With DSR-disabled control, the input control signals DSR, CTS, and CD are always considered high, regardless of their actual states. Therefore, no wire connection for these pins is required. The following figure shows the wiring required for connection to an IBM PC. INTERFACE INFORMATION Host TD RD DSR DTR RTS CTS CD SG (Pin 2) (Pin 3) (Pin 6) (Pin 20) (Pin 4) (Pin 5) (Pin 8) (Pin 7) Printer TD RD DSR DTR (RC) RTS CTS CD SG # indicates an open wire. Wire q is unnecessary for the DTR (or RC) protocol. Some computers may not require wire w. DSR-enabled control enables communication using an RS-232C interface. The CTS and DSR input control signals are enabled; CD is ignored. DSR must be high when the printer receives data. If the printer has data to be transmitted to the computer, the printer transmits the data when both DSR and CTS are high. When using DSR-enabled control, use a straight-through cable to connect to a DCE (data communications equipment) device. Use a null-modem cable to connect to a DTE (data terminal equipment) device, as shown below. Host (DTE) TD RD DSR DTR RTS CTS CD SG D-10 (Pin 2) (Pin 3) (Pin 6) (Pin 20) (Pin 4) (Pin 5) (Pin 8) (Pin 7) Printer (DTE) TD RD DSR DTR RTS CTS CD SG User's Manual INTERFACE INFORMATION Serial Protocols A protocol is a set of instructions that control the way data is transmitted between devices such as a computer and printer. The protocol ensures that the computer does not send information to the printer faster than the information can be processed. By telling the computer when the printer can receive data, the protocol prevents the printer’s buffer from overflowing. This printer offers a choice of four different protocols for connection to a variety of computers: XON/XOFF, DTR, and RC. If you computer documentation does not recommend a particular protocol, try DTR. The following table describes the three protocols. Description XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3) When the printer is ready to receive data, it sends the XON (DC1) code (hex 11). When fewer than 255 bytes of space remain in the buffer (or when the printer is taken offline), the printer sends the XOFF (DC3) code (hex 13). (When the input buffer is configured for 256 bytes, the buffer limit is reduced from 255 bytes to 63 bytes.) The computer must stop transmitting data within 255 (63) characters of receiving the XOFF code, or information may be lost. If paper runs out, the printer sends an NAK code (hex 15). DTR DTR is a hardware protocol; that is, the DTR signal on interface cable pin 20 is used to control the flow of data rather than transmission of a character code. When the printer is ready to receive data, pin 20 is high. When fewer than 255 (63) bytes of space remain in the buffer (or when the printer is taken offline), pin 20 is low. The computer must stop transmitting data within 255 (63) characters of DTR being low, or information may be lost. RC The RC protocol is the same as the DTR protocol, except that the Reverse Channel signal (pin 11) is used instead of the Data Terminal Ready signal (pin 20).

Each dot corresponds to a wire in the print head. GL-2 User's Manual GLOSSARY OF TERMS Downloading Transferring soft fonts from the computer to the printer’s memory. Downloading allows you to use fonts not resident in the computer. dpi Dots per inch. Emulation A command set that allows one printer to print like another printer. This printer has three resident emulations: Fujitsu DPL24C PLUS (native command set), IBM proprinter XL24E, and Epson ESC/P2. Font Form feed (FF) A signal to the printer to advance the paper forward one page. Form feeds can be executed either by your software or by holding down the LF/FF button on the printer control panel. Graphics printing Controlling the print head wires (dots) individually to produce a picture or an image on the page. Hexadecimal A base-16 numbering system (also commonly referred to as hex numbers). Since a base-16 system requires 16 digits, numbers 0 through 9 and letters A through F are used. Expressing binary numbers in hexadecimal uses fewer digits. Hex dump A hexadecimal printout of control codes and data. Hex dumps are used to debug computer programs and to troubleshoot printer malfunctions. To print a hex dump on the printer, use the HEXDUMP function in setup mode. Interface A connection that allows communication from one part of a system to another. For example, electrical signals are transferred between the computer and printer over an interface cable. K byte Kilobyte. 1K byte equals 1024 bytes. User's Manual GL-3 Glossary A complete set of printable characters having the same size and style. For example, Courier 10 and Prestige Elite 12 are commonly used fonts. GLOSSARY OF TERMS Letter size A standard paper size used in the United States and other countries. Paper is 8-1/2 ¥ 11 inches (215.9 ¥ 279.4 mm). Line feed (LF) A signal to the printer that advances the paper forward one line. Line feeds can be executed either by your software or by pressing the LF/ FF button on the printer control panel. Line spacing The vertical spacing between lines, measured in lines per inch. lpi Lines per inch. Used to measure line spacing. Monospacing Character spacing in which each printed character has the same width. Also called fixed pitch, monospacing is the opposite of proportional spacing. Typewriter or computer-printed text is typically monospaced. Nonresident font Fonts not present (resident) in the printer’s permanent memory. Soft fonts and fonts on font cards are examples of nonresident fonts. Normal mode One of the printer’s two operating modes. In normal mode, the control panel can be used to perform everyday printer operations, such as loading and unloading paper, feeding paper, and selecting print features. See also Setup mode. Offline When the printer is offline, it receives commands from the printer control panel rather than from the computer. “Offline” indicates that the printer is not “online” with the computer. Online When the printer is online, it is ready to receive or is receiving commands from the computer. The printer must be online to print. Parallel interface A standard computer interface. Information is transferred between devices over separate wires, allowing all of the bits that make up the character to be transmitted simultaneously (in parallel). Park position The position in which continuous forms paper is retracted or “parked” on the rear forms tractors. When continuous forms paper is loaded, it moves forward from the park position to the platen. GL-4 User's Manual GLOSSARY OF TERMS Memory that retains information even when power is turned off. The printer’s permanent memory retains the default settings specified using the printer setup mode. Pitch Characters per horizontal inch (cpi). Platen A hard rubber cylinder that moves paper forward during printing. Proportional spacing Character spacing in which wide characters occupy more space than do narrow characters. For example, characters such as “W” or “M”occupy more horizontal space than do characters such as “i” or “l.” Many soft fonts are proportionally spaced. Sometimes designated PS, proportional spacing is the opposite of monospacing. Protocol A set of instructions that control how data is transmitted between devices such as a computer and printer. Rear feed In rear feed, paper is fed from the rear of the printer. The forms tractor unit pushes paper into the printer. Resident fonts Fonts present (resident) in the printer’s permanent memory. For this printer, the resident fonts are Courier 10, Prestige Elite 12, Pica 10, OCR-B 10, OSR-A 10, Boldface PS, Compressed font, Correspondence, Draft, and High-speed Draft. Unlike soft fonts, resident fonts can always be accessed. RS-232C interface A type of serial interface. See Serial interface. Self-test A test that determines whether the printer is working correctly. Test pages are printed to show print quality and verify whether all characters print. The self-test only tests the printer. It does not test how thecomputer works with the printer. Serial interface A standard computer interface. Information is transferred between devices over a single wire (although other wires are used for control). A serial interface can use an interface cable greater than 3 meters (10 feet). A long cable is often necessary in networking environments, where the printer may be shared. User's Manual Glossary Permanent memory GL-5 GLOSSARY OF TERMS Setup mode One of the printer’s two operating modes. In setup mode, the controlpanel can be used to select the printer default settings, such as print features, hardware options, and top-of-form. Setup mode also provides some diagnostic functions. See also Normal mode. Shadow printing Shadow printing prints characters twice for emphasis. Characters printed the second time are shifted slightly to the right. Single sheets Single sheets are sheets of paper, envelopes, and noncontinuous multipart forms fed into the printer using the cut sheet stand or optional cut sheet feeder. Single sheets are also called cut sheets. Soft fonts Fonts downloaded from a disk to the printer memory. Soft fonts are also referred to as downloaded fonts. Unlike resident fonts, soft fonts are available only when in the printer memory. Software Programs that control the computer and printer to perform specified tasks, such as word processing, database management, and preparation of spreadsheets. Software is sometimes referred to as application software. Top margin The total space at the top of the printed page. The top margin is the sum of the top-of-form setting, the software-specified top margin, and the printer’s TOP-MRG setting. Top-of-form (TOF) The logical top of the physical page, as “understood” by the printer when loading paper. The default TOF settings are 1 inch (25.4 mm) for both cut sheets and continuous forms. Tractor feed A method for feeding continuous forms forward for printing. Holes on the sides of the forms fit over sprockets on two tractors located inside the printer. The forms are pulled for bottom feeding and pushed for rear feeding. GL-6 User's Manual GLOSSARY OF TERMS Unidirectional printing Printing is performed in one direction only, left to right. Unidirectional printing is slower than bidirectional printing, but the vertical alignment is more accurate. Unidirectional printing is useful when precise vertical alignment is required, as in ruled tables. USB interface A serial bus standard. An abbreviation of Universal Serial Bus.HotSwap using Plug&Play is available. The maximum cable length is five meters. The transmission mode is 12 Mbps + 0.25% at full speed.
