CHAPTER 1 ABOUT THIS PRINTER ✒ Note • Before printing envelopes, you must fan the stack well to avoid paper jams and misfeeds. Fig. 1-29 • • • • Different types of paper should not be loaded at the same time in the paper tray, it may cause paper jams or misfeeds. Do not print envelopes by Duplex printing. Be sure to select the same paper size as the paper to be used from your application software, or correct printing cannot be obtained.
✒ Note If envelopes get smudged during printing, set the print density to a higher value in the QUALITY settings with the panel operation switch for darker printouts. To adjust the print density setting, see “Control Panel” in Chapter 3. • Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure. • All sides should be properly folded without any wrinkles or creases.

CHAPTER 6 TROUBLESHOOTING Printer doesn’t print Possible Cause Solutions Is the power on? If not, confirm that the cord is securely plugged into the power outlet and the printer. Turn on the printer power. Load paper into the paper tray. See “Loading paper in the standard paper tray” in Chapter 1. Set the specified paper in any of the input trays. Adjust the paper size dial to match the size and feed direction of the paper in the paper tray. See “Paper handling” in Chapter 1.
Improving print quality If you are not satisfied with the printout quality, check the problem and take the necessary action to clear it. ✒ Note • It is possible that paper could meet all of the guidelines listed in the specifications and still not print satisfactorily. This may be due to temperature, humidity or other variables over which the printer has no control. If you cannot clear print problems, consult the dealer where you purchased the printer.
CHAPTER 6 TROUBLESHOOTING Status Possible Causes, Descriptions, and Solutions Print image is too dark. Adjust image density to lighter. See “Control Panel” in Chapter 3. Due to a sudden change in temperature, condensation might appear inside the machine and reduce the print quality. If this occurs when you move the printer from a cold room to a warmer room, don’t use the printer until it has come up to room temperature. Clean the Friction pad if it is dirty. See “Cleaning the Friction Pad” in Chapter 5.
Status Possible Causes, Descriptions, and Solutions Desired tray isn’t used for the output. Check the paper size settings. The size specified with the paper size dial might be different from the actual paper size. Set the dial to the correct setting. See “Paper handling” in Chapter 1. When you are using a Windows operating system, the printer driver settings override those specified using the Control panel. Specify the desired output tray using the printer driver.

White Spots The printed page may have white spots in black text and graphics areas. Make sure that you use paper or Transparencies that meet the printer’s specifications and have the correct printing surface. Fig. 6-37 Toner Scatter If toner scatters around printed characters and stains the printed page, clean the printer interior. See “Cleaning” in Chapter 5. Fig.
CHAPTER 6 TROUBLESHOOTING Black Page If an entire page is printed in black, make sure that the toner bottle is properly installed. Never use heat-sensitive paper, or it may cause this problem. Fig. 6-39 White Page If nothing is printed on pages, make sure that the toner bottle is not empty and that you are using paper, Transparencies, or envelopes that meet the printer’s specifications.
Dropout If the page has areas with missing print, make sure that the Toner bottle is not empty or the Toner is evenly distributed in the bottle. Also, make sure that you use paper, Transparencies or envelopes that meet the printer’s specifications. Moist paper causes this problem. If the print density is set too low, this problem may occur. Adjust the print density to the proper setting. Here come Pat-top ,he come. One thing I can tell you is you go to be free. Come together right now, over me.

APPENDICES Bar Code Control The printer can print bar codes in the HP LaserJet, EPSON FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL emulation modes. Print Bar Codes or Expanded Characters Code ESC i Dec 27 105 Hex 1B 69 Format: ESC i n … n \ Creates bar codes or expanded characters according to the segment of parameters “n … n”. For further information about parameters, see the following “Definition of Parameters.” This command must end with the “ \ ” code (5CH).
" Bar Code Mode n = “t0” or “T0” n = “t1” or “T1” n = “t3” or “T3” n = “t4” or “T4” n = “t5” or “T5” n = “t6” or “T6” n = “t9” or “T9” n = “t12” or “T12” n = “t13” or “T13” n = “t14” or “T14” n = “t130” or “T130” n = “t131” or “T131” n = “t132” or “T132” n = “t133” or “T133” n = “t134” or “T134” CODE 39 (default) Interleaved 2 of 5 FIM (US-Post Net) Post Net (US-Post Net) EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A UPC E Codabar Code 128 set A Code 128 set B Code 128 set C ISBN (EAN) ISBN (UPC-E) EAN 128 set A EAN 128 set B
APPENDICES " Bar Code, Expanded Character, Line Block Drawing & Box Drawing n = “s0” or “S0” n = “s1” or “S1” n = “s3” or “S3” 3 : 1 (default) 2:1 2.5 : 1 This parameter selects the bar code style as above. When the EAN 8, EAN 13, UPC-A, Code 128 or EAN 128 bar code mode is selected, this bar code style parameter is ignored. Expanded Character “S” 0 = White 1 = Black 2 = Vertical stripes 3 = Horizontal stripes 4 = Cross hatch eg.
" Bar Code Human Readable Line On or Off n = “r0” or “R0” n = “r1” or “R1” Human readable line OFF Human readable line ON Default: Human readable line ON (1) “T5” or “t5” (2) “T6” or “t6” (3) “T130” or “t130” (4) “T131” or “t131” Default: Human readable line OFF All others This parameter specifies whether or not the printer prints the human readable line below the bar code.
APPENDICES " Bar Code, Expanded Character, Line Block Drawing & Box Drawing Offset in X-axis n = “xnnn” or “Xnnn” This parameter specifies the offset from the left margin in the “u”- or “U”specified unit. " Bar Code & Expanded Character Offset in Y-axis n = “ynnn” or “Ynnn” This parameter specifies the downward offset from the current print position in the “u”- or “U”-specified unit.
" Expanded Character Rotation n = “a0” or “A1” n = “a1” or “A1” n = “a2” or “A2” n = “a3” or “A3” " Upright (default) Rotated 90 degrees Upside down, rotated 180 degrees Rotated 270 degrees Bar Code Data Start n = “b” or “B” Data that follows “b” or “B” is read in as bar code data. Bar code data must end with the “ \ ” code (5CH), which also terminates this command. The acceptable bar code data is subject to the bar code mode selected by “t” or “T”.
APPENDICES • When EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A is selected with the parameter “t5” or “T5”: Ten numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data. The number of characters for bar codes is limited as follows. EAN 8: EAN 13: UPC A: Total 8 digits (7 digits + 1 check digit) Total 13 digits (12 digits + 1 check digit) Total 12 digits (11 digits + 1 check digit) A number of characters other than above causes data error and the bar code data is printed as normal print data.
• When ISBN (EAN) is selected with the parameter “t130” or “T130”: Same rules apply as for “t5” or “T5” • When ISBN (UPC-E) is selected with the parameter “t131” or “T131”: Same rules apply as for “t6” or “T6” • When EAN 128 set A, set B or set C is selected with the parameter “t132” or “T132”, “t133” or “T133” or “t134” or “T134” respectively: Same rules apply as for “t12” or “T12”, “t13” or “T13”, or “t14” or “T14”. " Box Drawing ESC i … E (or e) “E” or “e” is a terminator.
