Getting Started 1.2 Installing the Personality Module The printer functions only in combination with an installed interface module, called a Personality Module (PM). The illustration below shows the standard PM with a serial and parallel interface. For detailed information about your PM, see Chapter 2. Note: - To avoid damage due to electrostatic discharge, do not touch the pins or components of the PM. - Never attempt to install or remove a PM while the printer is switched ON. 1.
Getting Started 1.3 The Power Supply Mains Voltage Selection In general, the mains voltage selection is determined at factory site. Since an incorrect voltage selection can seriously damage the printer, please pay special attention to the following: 1. Make sure that the specified voltage on the voltage selector (8) corresponds to your mains voltage: either 230 V for 180 to 264 V alternating current or 115 V for 90 to 140 V alternating current. 2.
Getting Started 1.4 Power ON/OFF Switch The power ON/OFF switch (10) turns the printer's power supply ON or OFF. When switched ON the printer performs an internal self-test which checks the electronics, the print head carriage movement and the interface. Power ON is indicated by a green LED on the operator panel (53). When the internal test has been completed successfully the display shows READY 1 ELQ (or BUSY 1 ELQ in case data has already been transmitted).
Getting Started 1.5 Installing the Ribbon Cassette It is recommended to use only original ribbon. Using other ribbons will void your warranty. Caution: Never manually move the print head (11) fully to the right hand stop. Note: Always press [START/STOP] before opening the top cover. 1. Switch the printer ON at the power switch (10); Power LED (53) is lit. 2. Press . 3. Lift the top cover (6) to gain access to the ribbon cassette mounting.
Getting Started 5. Position the ribbon feed guide (13) between the print head (11) and the green plastic plate (15). 6. Fit the upper mounting pins into the green mounting brackets and gently move the cassette toward you until you hear a click on both sides. Swing the ribbon underneath the print head until the lower mounting pins also engage with a click on both sides. The audible clicks indicate that the mounting pins have engaged properly. Note: At each end of the ribbon cassette there are two pins [1.
Getting Started 1.5.1 Replacing the Ribbon Cassette Caution: The print head may be very hot immediately after printing! 1. Lift the top cover (6) to gain access to the ribbon cassette mountings. The print head (11) will move to the correct position, aligned with the cut-out in the paper guide plate (12) to facilitate the installation of the ribbon cassette. 2. Now swing the lower part of the ribbon cassette to the rear. In this way the mounting pins [1.] loosen from the lower position. 3.
Getting Started 1.6 Inserting Fanfold Paper The printer has two tractor cassettes (5) for fanfold paper i.e. the LOWER TRACTOR cassette (default) and the UPPER TRACTOR cassette. Ensure that the printer is placed in the depression on the top of the stand (option). If the printer is used without a stand, align the printer with the front edge of the table. The cables at the back of the printer should be tucked into the cable clips in order not to block the paper path.
Getting Started Insert the paper as shown in the illustration; the top edge of the paper must be equal with the top of the tractors or maximum up to two transport holes above the tractors. The left perforation should be aligned with the center mark on the plastic plate. Paper without vertical perforation should be aligned in such a way that the left holes are positioned to the left of the center mark on the plastic plate (25). Inserting paper for the first time or changing to another paper width: 1.

2. Printer Operation 2.1 Control Panel The control panel S controls the set-up for communication with the host computer S controls various parameter settings S allows manual control of the paper handling S gives information about the printer's status. The 16-character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) (51) indicates the current status of the printer. If an error occurs (e.g. COVER OPEN), the resulting error message overrides any other displayed message.
Printer Operation 2.2 Function Keys The function keys of the operator panel are grouped into two rows. The function of a key depends on the printer operation state. Following operation states are possible: S READY or BUSY S LOCAL 2.2.1 Short Description of Keys - in the printer operation state READY or BUSY Number Symbol Functionality in ONLINE/READY Mode 90 Quick VERT.POS.ADJ.
Printer Operation Note: After pressing one of the keys the menu mode is activated. Now the keys of the top row can only be used as cursor keys to move within the menu tree (right [Y], left [Z], up [[] and down [\]). 2.2.2 Detail Description of Keys S in the printer operation state READY or BUSY S Quick Settings (only active if not locked in the menu function MENU ACCESS with QUICK SET OFF (see Chapter 3)).
Printer Operation S Top Row Keys The Quick Macro Selection mode is entered when one of the top row keys , , or is pressed. From the left to the right macro 1 to macro 4 will be selected. Pressing of key causes the printer to change in the STOP-mode and in the display appears the message MACRO 2. Pressing key [Y] confirms the macro selection and changes the printer into the READY or BUSY mode. After this sample the printer the message on the display is READY 2 IPP.
Printer Operation This parameter covers a range of -15/60 to +240/60 of an inch (0.42 mm), where "-" is up the page and "+" is further down the page (see also the table in Chapter 3.4 Configuring the Printer for VERT.POS.ADJ.). Note: The set up of VERT.POS.ADJ. will become effective at the next page of the form. Therefore, it is recommended to perform VERT.POS.ADJ. set up as long as the paper is in the park position and before starting the print job.
Printer Operation How to Use this Function Preprinted paper (e.g. bill of lading) has to be adjusted exactly. Following errors are possible: S the printed value is too high - the fanfold paper has to be moved a little bit higher. S the printed value is too low - the fanfold paper has to be moved a little bit lower. No backward movement is possible for a form in park position or with the print head on the first line. The displacement will become effective on the next page.
Printer Operation There are two possibilities for the displacement to become active: S If a positive displacement is set before starting the print job the printer will move the paper into the right position first and then start printing. S If the displacement is set during a print job, the printer prints the contents of the print buffer. Afterwards, the displacement will become active. All following data are at the new position.
Printer Operation S START/STOP Key (93) S turns off the STOP indicator S makes the printer ready for operation S either starts the printout or self-test functions when selected (see MENU mode) or causes the interface status to change to READY or BUSY (displayed) S exits the MENU mode. 2.3 Menu Mode Instead of having a multitude of dip switches, all operator selectable features are accessable via the control panel and combined in the printer MENU.
Printer Operation 2.3.1 To Activate the Menu: S Press The printer is in the STOP mode, the display shows LOCAL S Press in the top row of the control panel. As soon as the menu mode has been activated, the keys in the top row can only be used as cursor keys to move within the menu tree (up, down, right, and left). Selection within a level: S press [[] or [\] key; the keys have a wrap around function, i.e. after the last value the first value is repeated.
Printer Operation 2.3.2 To Confirm Selection: - press [Y]; the confirmed value is displayed with an asterisk (’) in the last position as shown in the picture before. Note: All cursor keys have an auto repeat function. The new confirmed settings are only valid until the printer is powered off. To save your settings permanently, see next section. The MENU mode is left either by pressing or by moving to the MAIN FUNCTION level and then pressing the [Z] key.
Printer Operation 2.3.3 How to Save Settings The settings selected and confirmed are only active until the printer is switched off. In order to prevent losing your new settings you can save them using the MAIN FUNCTION SAVE. KEY Display 1. (93) LOCAL 2. (94) MACRO SELECT 6 3. [[] -- [[] SAVE 6 4. [Y] SAVING NOW ’ 5. Note: (93) READY 1 ELQ The values of the "current settings" and the macro settings can be printed out on a list using the function PRINT OUT.
Printer Operation 2.3.4 Quick Settings The keys (94) (to select a pre-configured macro), (95), (96), and (97) are shortcuts in the menu tree. These particular selections can be changed quickly without having to move through the entire menu (see fold out of structure diagram). As soon as one of the keys in the top row has been activated, all four keys can only be used as cursor keys to move within the menu tree ([[] up, [\] down, [Y] right, and [Z] left).
3 Configuring the Printer 3.1 What is Configuring This chapter describes how to use the operator panel and menu settings to set up or configure your printer so that the printer and your computer system can communicate correctly with each other. Communication between the two requires that both the computer operating system and the printer have the same communication settings or features.

Configuring the printer 3.3 Explanation of the printout on the previous page The heading PRINT OUT gives information about the VERSION of the printer's firmware. The next two headings are followed by two columns of standard settings: S INTERFACE - for communication between the computer operating system and the printer it is necessary to have the same communication settings or features.
Configuring the printer 3.4 Explanation of Individual Menu Items Main Functions The following main functions are available: S MACRO SELECT To select one of the four macros which can be used for changing quickly the printer settings for different applications. For example: Application A needs 12" paper and in Application B banking checks are printed.
Configuring the printer S PRINT OUT This function initiates a printout of the parameter settings and macro definitions. This printout is helpful for future reference and when macros need to be changed. To actually start the print operation it is necessary to leave the STOP mode (by pressing the key - see also Chapter 3.1). While this function is executed the display shows PRINT OUT. Main Function CHANGE MACRO S Font A font is a family of characters with the same style and size.
Configuring the printer S Print Quality Is splitted up into: S Font Quality Three different font quality levels can be selected: S Draft quality (font "Data") S Near letter quality (NLQ displayed with the font name) S Letter quality (LQ displayed with the font name). and S Graphics Quality Four different graphics quality levels can be selected: S Standard S Win. LQ 180 DPI S Win. NLQ 90 DPI S WI. Draft 60 DPI Note: Different print / graphics qualities result in different print speed..
Configuring the printer S Page Length Page length is expressed in terms of lines within the range of 5 to 132 lines. Any page length setting is based on six lines per inch, regardless of the number of lines per inch selected in the line setting or defined by the application. The following indicates the number of lines for the most common paper sizes. Paper length in inches 4 4 6 8 8 11 11 12 1 /6 1 /2 2 /3 (default setting) Appropriate setting in no.
Configuring the printer S Vertical Positioning Adjustment (VERT.POS.ADJ.) This can be set differently for each macro to exactly position the printout in relation to the top edge of the form in use. It is meant to be a corrective parameter to meet variations in paper size and pre-printed material. Using this function, the TOP MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN setting are taken into account as well.
Configuring the printer S The right margin is set to print position 80, 132 or 136, always measured from the position of the first possible, not actual, left margin setting. The left margin setting is influenced by the physical setting of the left tractor. The above specifications are only correct if the tractors are in the original positions, i.e. the left perforation is aligned with the center mark on the plastic plate (distance between the marks is 1/10").
Configuring the printer S The bottom margin indicates the last print line. Going beyond this margin automatically initiates a form feed. The bottom margin is always set in steps of 1/6". The bottom margin can be set to a maximum of 8/6". The above specifications are influenced by the settings in "Vertical Position" (see section Vertical Positioning Adjustment in this chapter). S Perforation Skip If PERF.
Configuring the printer S Paper Exit (only for CI - 4080) It is possible to choose between BATCH (to leave the printer at the rear) and STACKER (at the top) via the point PATH. If BATCH is selected, the paper keeps its continuous form and leaves the printer at the rear. The cutter is not activated by default. If print jobs need to be separated, the cutter must be activated.
Configuring the printer S Emulation The emulation determines the set of commands available for the printer (see Appendix D and E). S EPSON LQ S IBM PROPR. S IBM PROPR.AGM S EPSON LQ Note: The selected Emulation will also be stored in the actual macro. With a change of the macro (e.g. key , , or is pressed) it is possible that the emulation will also be changed. Be careful: Do not change the emulation within an application.
Configuring the printer S Tear-off-mode / Cut-mode In case the selection of paper exit for the CI - 4080 is "STACKER", each form will be cut automatically and laid down into the stacker.
Configuring the printer The setting TEAR - OFF 1 S causes the paper to move to the tear off position when the print job has been completed by a form feed command and no new print job has been received within one second. If the paper is not torn off and new printing data are received the paper moves back into the printer to allow the following page to be printed.
Configuring the printer Main-Function INSTALLATION S Sub-Function INTERFACE The factory settings for the interface type are: Shared, 8 Kbyte Buffer, 8 bit word length, even parity bit, 9600 baud, and DTR protocol. S BUFFER Buffer size in Kbyte. The maximum size is 30 Kbyte. S WORD LENGTH Length of the data to be transferred; values are 7 or 8 bit.
Configuring the printer Sub-Function ADJUSTMENT S AGC Position AGC (Automatic Gap Control) is an integral part of the paper handling capabilities of the printer. It is an automatic adjustment function which ensures an optimal print quality when using paper of various thicknesses.
Configuring the printer S Platen Gap This adjustment is to be seen as a correctional offset to the platen gap set by the AGC (Automatic Gap Control) function or a PCC (Programmable Copy Control) command. It effects all paper paths. The offset is within the range of -3 to +4. One step is equal to 18 µm. "-" reduces the gap, "+" increases it. Note: This setting should only be changed in exceptional case.
Configuring the printer S CUT. V-POS LO. / CUT. V-POS UP. (Vertical Positioning for Cutting Device for the CI - 4080 or for the tear off edge on the CI - 4070) This can be set differently for each paper source (lower and upper tractor) and is meant to be a corrective parameter to meet variations in paper size and pre-printed material. The parameter covers a range of - 15/60" to + 16/60" of an inch, where "-" is up the page and "+" is further down the page. The default value is zero.
Configuring the printer S Uni-Direct.CMD If NO is selected, commands for uni-directional printing will be ignored. The default setting of YES means that commands will be carried out to switch from bi-directional to uni-directional or vice versa. S TRACT. FF-MODE (Tractor Form Feed Mode) EXECUTE FF means, every form feed sent to the printer will be executed. If you set IGNORE FF, only a form feed before printable characters will be executed, that means blank pages will be avoided.
Configuring the printer S Menu Access There are four possibilities to define the access to the menu by the user. S ALL FUNCTIONS All functions can be used (default) S QUICK SET. OFF With this function the Quick Settings for Macro Selection, Vertical Position Adjustment, and Fanfold Displacement can be deactivated in the READY or BUSY mode. After pressing one of these keys the display shows shortly LOCKED (see also Chapter 2).
Configuring the printer S Self Test S PRINT TEST 1 (see Chapter 1.8 Print Tests) S PRINT TEST 2 (see Chapter 1.8 Print Tests) S PRINT TEST 3 gives information about technical releases and is intended for service purposes only. Among other information, the page counter identifies the number of pages printed. S I/F Test This function is used to test the serial interface.

Appendix A System Interface Description There are two system interfaces: S one serial interface with RS-232C S one Parallel Centronics interface. The interfaces can be operated in three different modes: S serial interface active S parallel interface active S both interfaces active in shared mode The following chapter gives an overview about interface characteristics, control signals, protocols, and cabling.
Appendix A System Interface Description 1. Serial Interface RS-232C 1.1 Interface Characteristics Signal Description RS-232C Pin No.
Appendix A System Interface Description 1.2 Transmission Protocols and Connection Diagrams 1.2.1 DTR - Ready/Busy (Supported RS-232C Protocols) - Full Duplex Local Connection This protocol uses the following signal lines: S Pin 1 Protective Ground (PG) S 2 Transmit Data (TXD) S 3 Receive Data (RXD) S 5 Clear to Send (CTS) S 7 Signal Ground (SG) S 20 Data Terminal Ready (DTR) Note: The signal lines TXD (pin 2) and CTS (pin 5) are only necessary if the Device Status Report is required.
Appendix A System Interface Description Note: Printer DTR may be connected to host DSR + CTS or only to host DSR and a bridge between RTS and CTS. Additional Information After Power-ON DTR is activated and the printer is ready to receive data. DTR is deactivated when the interface buffer has only space left for 256 more characters. Further incoming data will be stored until the interface buffer is full. All data sent in addition will get lost.
Appendix A System Interface Description 1.2.2 XON / XOFF This protocol requires all signal lines. S Pin 1 Protective Ground (PG) S 2 Transmit Data (TXD) S 3 Receive Data (RXD) S 4 Request to Send (RTS) S 5 Clear to Send (CTS) S 6 Data Set Ready (DSR) S 7 Signal Ground (SG) S 20 Data Terminal Ready (DTR) Standard Connection 25 pin 25 pin For local connections RTS with CTS can be connected and likewise DTR with DSR.
Appendix A System Interface Description Additional Information After Power-ON DTR and RTS are activated and the printer is ready to receive data. XOFF is sent, when the interface buffer has only space left for 256 more characters. XOFF is sent again, at a level of 128 characters buffer space. Further incoming data will be stored until the interface buffer is full. All data sent in addition will get lost. XON is sent when the interface buffer provides space for a minimum of 512 characters.

Appendix A System Interface Description 3. Shared Operation In shared operation the interface buffer capacity is reduced by 256 bytes. After Power-ON both the serial and the parallel interfaces are available for data transfer. If a byte is first recognized by the serial interface the parallel interface is immediately disabled by the BUSY signal. The serial interface is now active and will operate, using the installed protocols.

Appendix D IBM ProPrinter Quick Reference This appendix contains basic information on the IBM ProPrinter 4207, 4208 XL 24 Emulation commands supported in four Printer types: Printer CI - 4040 Printer CI - 4050 Printer CI - 4070 Printer CI - 4080 Some commands or parameters may be different for a specific Printer type. In those cases it will be indicated by the PINTER NAME to which pinter a command or parameter applies.
Appendix D IBM ProPrinter 4207, 4208 XL 24 Quick Reference Characters used in control functions appear in monospaced type. Table 1 explains some of the conventions used. A pair of numbers separated by a slash ( / ) character indicates Column/Row notation. This notation refers to the location of a character in a standard code table, such as ASCII. (example: 1/B = 1B is the hex-code for Escape) Spaces appear between characters in sequence for clarity; they are not part of the format.

Appendix F Barcode Quick Reference 1. Introduction The barcode print facility is available in all three emulations. 2. Programming There are three escape sequences to print barcodes - The first sequence is to define the Barcode Header. The type of barcode as well as all parameters are selected by a header. The header does not affect any parameters outside the barcode application and remains valid until another header is transmitted or the printer is turned off.
Appendix F Barcode Quick Reference Barcode Header Parameters P2 Barcode type - default = 101 (Code 39 horizontal) Type horizontal horizontal + human readable text vertical vertical + human readable text Code 39 101 201 301 401 2 of 5 industrial 102 202 302 402 2 or 5 interleaved 103 203 303 403 Codabar (Monarch) 104 204 304 404 EAN 8 105 205 not applicable not applicable EAN 13 106 206 not applicable not applicable Code 93 107 207 307 407 MSI Mod 10/10 108 208 308
Appendix F Barcode Quick Reference P4 Width of the thin bars (default: 2/144" = 0.35 mm) Note: The width of bars and gaps should be equal. For this, the parameters P4 and P5 should not deviate more than one step.
Appendix F Barcode Quick Reference P6 Ratio Width to Thin (default: 0 (2 to 1)) value Code 39 2 of 5 industrial 2 of 5 interleaved Codabar Code 93 MSI mod 10/10 Code 128 EAN 8 EAN 13 UPC-A UPC-E 0 2.0 to 1 SC3 1 2.5 to 1 SC6 2 3.0 to 1 SC9 3 3.5 to 1 SC3 P6 Note: Code 93, MSI 10/10, Code 128 are fixed 2.0 to 1 Best results for Code 39, 2 of 5 industrial, 2 of 5 interleaved, and Codabar with 2.
Appendix F Barcode Quick Reference 2.2 Barcode Programming Examples Note: All examples are coded in standard uni-directional printing - that means the parameter "P7" is not used. In the following examples, 8 stands for "Space". The small square before and after the printed barcode indicates the actual print position. Between Start Barcode and Stop Barcode are only printable characters tolerated (no CR or LF).
