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.

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. 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 paper table, rear stacker,

and the cut sheet feeder.

3. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the printer,

including the cover, paper table, and rear stacker. A mild

detergent may be used.

CAUTION

Do not use solvents, kerosene, or abrasive cleaning materials

that may damage the printer.

platen cleaner recommended by your supplier and proceed as follows:

1. Apply a small amount of platen cleaner to a soft cloth. Avoid

spilling platen cleaner inside the printer.

CAUTION

Do not use alcohol to clean the platen. Alcohol may cause the

rubber to harden.

2. Place the cloth against the platen.

3. To dry the platen, place a dry cloth against the platen.

MAINTENANCE

User's Manual 6-3

There are two ways of replacing the ribbon. You can install a new ribbon

cassette in the printer or refill the old ribbon cassette with new ribbon

from a ribbon sub cassette. Appendix A lists order numbers for ribbon

cassettes and ribbon sub cassettes. The following procedure is for ribbon

cassettes. For ribbon sub cassettes, refer to the instructions shipped with

the sub cassette.

To replace the ribbon cassette:

1. Turn off the printer.

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.

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. Look for this information on the rating label at the

Paper Thickness

Paper thickness is given by the weight of the paper in either grams per

square meter (g/m2) or in pounds per bond (lbs/bond). The following table

shows the allowable paper thickness for one-part paper or for each sheet of

multipart paper. The total thickness must not exceed 0.65 mm (0.026 inch).

The weight of carbonless or carbon-backed paper may vary, depending upon

the paper manufacturer. When using paper of borderline thickness, test the

paper before running a job.

APPENDIX D INTERFACE INFORMATION

INTERFACE INFORMATION

This printer can communicate with a computer

through a Centronics parallel interface, a RS-232C

serial interface, a USB interface, or a LAN interface. 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

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.

• 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).

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.

T1, T2, T3 > 1 μs

T4 < 1 μs

0 μs < T5 < 3 μs

2 μs < T6 < 6 μs

In bidirectional mode (nibblemode), this printer can send data to the

computer. Data is sent in units of four bits (nibble) using four output

signal lines as data paths. The following outlines one byte of data sent

during reverse data transfer phase in nibble mode.

INTERFACE INFORMATION

User's Manual D-7

RS-232C is the standard serial interface for data terminal equipment. The

cable connector at the printer side should be a D-subminiature Cannon or

Cinch DB-25P male connector or equivalent that conforms to EIA

standards.

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 DSR-disabled control, use the printer HARDWRE

function (see Chapter 5).

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

User's Manual D-9

# 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.

INTERFACE INFORMATION

D-10 User's Manual

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.

Protocol 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).
