when characters are vertically
misaligned. Note that the left
margin is not straight.
If you notice misaligned printing, use the following procedure to check
and correct the vertical print alignment.
Procedure
Make sure that continuous forms paper is loaded in the printer. If
possible, use forms at least 356 mm (14 inches) wide to avoid printing on
the platen. However, you can also use letter or A4 size forms if you set

ONLINE SETUP
MODE
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.

your dealer to determine whether lubrication might be needed.
CLEANING
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.

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
•
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

Problem
Printing is too light or
too dark.
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.
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

Problem
Solution
Characters are lost at
the left or right end.
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.
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.
Printing is vertically
misaligned (jagged).
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.
Smaller adjustment for paper thickness causes
vertically misalignment too.
Please refer to Printing is too light or too dark.
The top margin is
wrong.
User's Manual
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.

DIAGNOSTIC
FUNCTIONS
The printer diagnostic functions are SELF-TST, HEX-DUMP, and VALMNT.
•
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.

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.

NOTE
When EAN13, UPC type A, or UPC type A
with checkdigit printing is selected as the type
of barcode, printing the barcode from the left
(from the first dot) will cause the omission of
a flag character that should by printed on the
lower left or middle left of it. Therefore,
when printing these types of barcode, leave
two or more spaces open from the left.
See the next page for details of the Bar Code

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
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.
•

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.

Cable Wiring
This printer allows two types of serial communication control: DSRenabled 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 DSRenabled 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.
D-8
User's Manual
INTERFACE INFORMATION
# 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 nullmodem cable to connect to a DTE (data terminal equipment) device, as
shown below.
User's Manual
D-9
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.
D-10
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).
