USING SETUP MODE User's Manual 5-65 The preceding sections describe offline setup mode. 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 TEAR OFF 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. This printer is provided with a floppy disk which contains this program called DLMENU. For DLMENU, see the last section of chapter 2. 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. ONLINE SETUP MODE

User's Manual 6-1 6 CHAPTER 6 MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Your printer requires very little care. Occasional cleaning and replacement of the ribbon cartridge are all that is required. Lubrication of the printer is usually not 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. The front cover, the rear stacker, and the soundproof cover or the paper table 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. It is easier to clean the printer when the front cover and the rear stacker 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.

User's Manual 7-1 7 CHAPTER 7 TROUBLE-SHOOTING TROUBLE-SHOOTING Your printer is extremely reliable, but occasional problems may occur. 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 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. SOLVING PROBLEMS

TROUBLE-SHOOTING 7-2 User's Manual Table 7.1 Print Quality Problems and Solutions Problem Solution Make sure that the ribbon cartridge is properly installed and that the ribbon feeds smoothly. Check ribbon wear. Replace the ribbon if necessary. Check the difference of thickness of medium. If auto adjustment function detects difference level of medium, it doesn’t work properly. In this case you must adjust for paper thickness manually. See ADJUSTING PAPER THICKNESS in Chapter 3. Printing is too light or too dark. If you adjust for paper thickness manually, tune-up as follows. If printing is too light, decrease setting. If printing is dark, increase setting. Note Printer accepts the value for paper thickness from Printer Driver or application program. In this case, check the setting of the Printer Driver or application program at your host computer. And then tune the value by way above. Stains or smudges appear on the page. 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. One or more “?” 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 Hardware Items and Options in Chapter 5.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING User's Manual 7-3 Table 7.1 Print Quality Problems and Solutions (Cont.) Problem Solution If lost area is about 10mm (3mm) from left and right edge of continuous forms(single sheet), Area-over detection control woks properly. In this case make sure that paper size, paper position, and left and right margins are properly set. See the section Configuration Items and Options in Chapter 5. Note Preprinted dark color area, shape of corner cut, paper skew may cause incorrect detection. Please don’t use medium like this. If you must use medium like this absolutely, you can disable Area-over detection by using setup mode. But risk of print head broken is increase. Characters are lost at the left or right end. Incorrect paper size selection of the Printer Driver causes right side area is lost (exactly Printer Driver divide the page by paper size setting and postpone divided right page). Please check the paper size setting. 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. Printing is vertically misaligned (jagged). Smaller adjustment for paper thickness causes vertically misalignment too. Please refer to Printing is too light or too dark. 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: • 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 MENU1 and MENU2 Items and Options in Chapter 5.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING 7-4 User's Manual Table 7.1 Print Quality Problems and Solutions (Cont.) Problem Solution Lines are double spaced instead of single spaced. Check the line spacing setting in your software. Change the CR-CODE setting in the printer setup mode to CR ONLY. See the section MENU1 and MENU2 Items and 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 MENU1 and MENU2 Items and 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 MENU1 and MENU2 Items and Options in Chapter 5. Variation of the top of form is saturated in a few pages and displacement is about 1mm or less. In this case adjust value is prepared in setup mode. See ADJUST Items and Options and search <FCNTADJ> or <RCNTADJ>. The top of form of continuous form displaces gradually. Variation of the top of form isn’t saturated. In this case setting of page length isn’t correct. Make sure that page length setting equal actual page length exactly. In general page length of continuous form is multiple of 0.5inch. Anyway don’t set page length of continuous forms using mm unit.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING User's Manual 7-5 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.

Problem Solution LES alarm Remove any paper dust, which may cause problems in carriage operation. Space problem alarm Same solution same as above should be done. Check adjustment for paper thickness. Smaller setting causes spacing problem. Fan alarm Remove any dust of ventilation near the Fan motor.APTC gap alarm Check the paper thickness (0.04 to 0.65 mm). Check whether the paper has different thicknesses or whether the paper has filing holes. For problems other than the above, request your printer dealer to make repairs. Especially Fire Check is happen, please refrain using printer. 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. 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.
