Helpful Hints
• Use Normal Density MSP Ribbons for 9 wire Printers. Use of improper ribbon may
damage the print head and invalidate the warranty.
• Use only High Density MSP Ribbons for 24 wire Printers. Use of improper ribbon may
damage the print head and invalidate the warranty.
• If you are replacing a ribbon be sure the printer of OFF and the print head has cooled.
• Carefully read the instructions for correct ribbon placements. Improper placement can
cause smudged printing and may jam the ribbon.
• ONLINE is the printer's normal operating mode. When the printer is ONLINE, it can
receive data from your computer and print. When the printer is OFFLINE, it stops
printing and responds only to control-panel instructions, such as moving the paper.
• To completely cancel the print job, first cancel the job in your software application.
Then clear the data from the printer buffer.
• Because of advanced paper-handling features it is seldom necessary to turn the paper
feed knob. More frequently turning the paper feed knob causes misalingment. Use the
Control panel instead.
• Paper tear off, top-of-form adjustment and paper parking are not available when using
tractor in PULL mode.
• Do not rotate the PLATEN KNOB when the printer is in power ON condion.
• The top margin is usually set by your software. You may not need to change the top-of-
form setting very often.
• For serial interface connection you need to install an optional serial interface board.
Please contact your nearest TVS-E dealer. Serial interface cable comes with a board.
• If the printer is used heavily or in a dusty environment consult TVS-E service centre for
advice on periodic cleaning and lubrication.
