1 2 Unpacking Printer Imprimante Impresora Impressora Check The Contents Unpack your printer and check to be sure you have the following items: • printer • diskette • power cord • ribbon cartridge If you are missing any of these items, contact your dealer immediately Diskette Disquette Disquete Disquete Power cord Cordon d’alimentation Cable de alimentación Cabo de energia Déballage Vérification du contenu Déballez votre imprimante et vérifiez que vous possédez bien les éléments suivants : • impriman
1 3 Remove the Protective Film Peel the plastic film from the carriage cover (1). Pull up on the carriage cover and peel the plastic film from the access cover (2), then swing carriage cover back into place. Remove the Shipping Retainers Open the access cover and remove the shipping retainer for the printhead (1). Lift the paper separator and remove the second shipping retainer (2). .
1 4 Install the Ribbon Cartridge Note: Leave the ribbon shield on the cartridge! Make sure the printer is turned off. Slide the printhead to the center of the platen (1). Holding the ribbon cartridge as shown (2), fit the grooves in the flat end of the cartridge over the posts on the ribbon plate ( 3). Lower the front of the cartridge over the printhead until it snaps into place (4). Turn the knob in the direction of the arrow on the cartridge to take up the ribbon slack (5).
1 5 Connect to Your Computer and to the Power Line Turn both the computer and the printer off. Plug the parallel interface cable (you must supply the cable) into the parallel interface port on the back of the printer (1) and secure it in place with the wire loops (2). Note: FCC regulations require the use of a shielded cable no longer than 6 ft. (1.8 m). Plug the power cord into the power socket on the back of the printer (3), then plug the other end into a grounded outlet.
1 6 Turn on the Printer Turn on the printer (the power switch is on the right side of the housing). The printhead crosses back and forth along the platen and the pins gently fire to determine the printhead gap setting. The POWER light (1) comes on. The ALARM light (2) also comes on, indicating that there is no paper loaded. 1 2 Mise sous tension de l’imprimante Mettez l'imprimante sous tension (l'interrupteur de mise sous tension est situé sur le côté droit du boîtier).
Loading Paper Chargement du papier Carga de papel Colocação do papel 2
2 8 Single-Sheet Paper Use single-sheet paper for letterhead stationery, memos, and envelopes. It is also recommended for printing graphs and charts because it provides the most accurate control of the paper, producing solid black graphics and vibrant color charts.
2 9 Preliminaries Make sure the printer is turned on and that the ALARM light (1) is on, indicating that there is no paper in the paper path. Note: If the ALARM light is off, continuous-form paper is loaded in the paper path. Press the PARK button (2) to remove it from the path before attempting to load single-sheet paper. 1 2 Préliminaires Vérifiez que l'imprimante est bien sous tension et que le voyant ALARM (1) est allumé, indiquant qu'il n'y a pas de papier dans la voie d'alimentation en papier.
2 10 Loading Single-Sheet Paper Move the paper lever to the position marked TOP (1). Unsnap the paper separator from the housing, then swing it upright to the position illustrated (2): make sure the wire feed guide is against the separator. Adjust the paper feed guides to fit the width of the paper and place a sheet of paper in the paper separator ( 3). The paper automatically feeds into the printer.
11 Note: If the sheet of paper doesn't feed in properly, the “15” light on the front panel flashes. To correct this, press the SHIFT and RESET buttons simultaneously (1), then reload the paper. 1 Remarque : Si la feuille de papier n'est pas correctement alimentée dans l'imprimante, le voyant “15” du panneau avant clignote. Pour corriger cela, appuyez simultanément sur les boutons SHIFT et RESET (1), puis rechargez le papier.
2 12 Setting the Top of Form for Single-Sheet Paper Make sure the printer is deselected (SEL light off—press the SEL button to deselect). To set the Top of Form (the position where the first line of printing begins) for single-sheet paper, use the front panel buttons indicated below (1). When you are done press the SEL button. The location of the printing is indicated by the red line on the paper shield.
13 Temporarily Changing the Top of Form Setting for Single-Sheet Paper To temporarily change the Top of Form setting for a page, deselect the printer (press SEL button) and press the LF button (1) until you reach the Top of Form position you want to use. The printer retains this setting until the next sheet feeds in.
2 14 Rear-Feed Paper Load continuous-form paper on the rear-feed paper path for printing spreadsheets, long reports, etc. For graphics or charts, use the single-sheet paper path to obtain the best results. Note: If you have single-sheet paper in the paper path, press the FF/LOAD button to remove it from the path before loading rear-feed paper. The ALARM light comes on.
2 15 Preliminaries Make sure the printer is turned on and that the ALARM light (1) is on, indicating that there is no paper in the paper path. Note: If the ALARM light is off, paper is loaded in the paper path. Press the FF/LOAD button (2) to remove single-sheet paper or the PARK button (3) to remove continuous-form paper from the path before proceeding.
2 16 Loading Rear-Feed Paper Move the paper lever to the position marked REAR (1). Lift the front edge of the paper separator and swing it up (2). Pull up on the lock levers to release the rear-feed tractors and swing open the tractor covers, then move the right-hand tractor to fit the width of the paper you’re installing (3).
2 17 Pull the paper through the opening between the printer and the rear cover, and place the first two holes on each side of paper over tractor pins (1). Close the tractor covers and move the left tractor to align the edge of the paper with the reference mark for that paper size (2). Lock the left tractor by pushing back on its lock lever: move the right tractor so that the paper holes are centered on the pins, then lock the right tractor by pushing back on its lock lever (3).
2 18 Close the paper separator and swing the wire feed guide forward so that it rests on the pull-up roller assembly (1). Note: The wire feed guide keeps the continuous-form paper from curling back into the printer. Push the FF/LOAD button (2). The paper automatically feeds into the printer and the ALARM light goes out. The printhead travels back and forth, gently firing the pins to sense the thickness of the paper and to set the printhead gap.
19 Temporarily Changing the Top of Form Setting for Rear-Feed Paper To change the Top of Form setting for a single page, deselect the printer (press SEL button) and press the LF button until you reach the Top of Form position you want to use. The printer retains this setting for one page only.
2 20 Paper Handling Features Tear Feature Caution! Do not use the platen knob to advance the paper to the tear position! Press the TEAR button (1) to advance continuous forms up to the tear position so you can easily tear off a printed sheet without wasting paper or readjusting the printer. To return the paper to the print position, press the TEAR button again. Note: The Tear feature can not be used when the optional pull tractor is installed.
2 21 Form Tear-Off Feature This feature automatically moves continuous-form paper up to the tear position after the selected amount of time. The paper will return to the initial printing position when the printer receives data. This feature is normally turned off. To activate it, hold the SHIFT button and press the SEL button to enter the Menu Mode (1).
2 22 Form Tear-Off Feature (continued) To adjust the tear position with the Forms Tear-Off feature engaged, press and hold the SHIFT button while using the LF button (1) to feed the paper down in small increments or the FF button (2) to feed the paper up in small increments. To set the Top of Form with the FormTear-Off feature engaged, push and hold the SHIFT and TEAR buttons (3) to see the current Top of Form setting.
23 Form Tear-Off Feature (continued) Note: Some programs, such as high resolution graphics packages, pause occasionally while sending data to the printer. If the pause lasts more than two seconds, the paper advances to the tear-off position until more data is received. No data is lost, but this extra paper movement can cause uneven print registration in graphics. If you have this problem, enter the printer Menu, go to the Rear Feed group and change the setting for Form Tear-off to Off.
2 24 Paper Park Feature Press the PARK button (1) to move continuous-form paper out of the paper path. To move the parked continuous-form paper back to the print position, press the FF/LOAD button. 1 Fonction de stationnement du papier Appuyez sur le bouton PARK (1) afin de déplacer le papier en continu hors de la voie d'alimentation. Pour replacer le papier en continu stationné sur sa position d'impression, appuyez sur le bouton FF/LOAD.
2 25 Switching from Continuous-Form Paper to Single-Sheet Paper Tear off printed pages, then press the PARK button (1) to remove the continuous-form paper from the paper path. Lift the paper separator to the upright position and move the paper lever to the position marked TOP (2). Load single-sheet paper into the paper separator. The printer automatically feeds the sheet of paper into the print position.
2 26 Switching from Single-Sheet Paper to Continuous-Form Paper To switch from single-sheet paper to continuous-form paper which has been parked: Press the FF/LOAD button (1) to remove the single-sheet paper from the paper path. Lower the paper separator to the continuous-forms position. Move the paper lever to the position marked REAR ( 2). Press the FF/ LOAD button (1) to advance the continuous-forms paper into the print position.

Problem Solving & Maintenance Résolution des problèmes et entretien Solución de problemas y mantenimiento Manutenção da impressora e solução de problemas 6
6 43 Problem Solving Problem: Nothing happens when I turn on the printer. Solution: The printer may not be plugged in. Check the power cord connection to the outlet and to your printer. If you’re using a power strip, make sure it’s turned on. Check to be sure that the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Problem: The printer doesn’t print when the computer sends data. Solutions: (1) The printer may be deselected. If the SEL light is out, press the SEL button to select the printer.
44 Problem: The printing is too light or too dark. Solution: The head gap setting needs adjustment. Enter the Menu Mode and change the setting for “Printhead Gap Adjust” under the Group “Setup.” The default setting is 0. If the printing is lighter, change the setting to1; if it's darker, change it to +1. Problem: The ALARM light is on and the Character Pitch 15 light is flashing. Solution: This indicates a paper loading error. Press the SHIFT and RESET buttons simultaneously.
6 45 Problem: The first line is printing too far down on the page and I can’t get it any higher using the SHIFT-LF/ Micro Feed Down keys. Solution: The setting for the Top of Form will be restricted if you have the Form Tear-Off feature engaged when you set the Top of Form. To correct for this, enter the Menu Mode and change the setting for Form TearOff in the Rear-Feed group ( or in the Bottom Feed group if you have the optional bottom-feed tractor installed) to Off.
46 Problem: My word processor files don’t print the way I have the menu and front panel set. Solutions: Before sending a file to the printer, many word processors send either an “initialization string” or an I-Prime signal to the printer. The initialization string contains commands that change the printer to a default set of features. These commands override front panel or Menu settings.
6 47 Problem: The Print Quality and Character Pitch buttons on the front panel won’t work. Solution: The Operator Panel Function item on the printer menu can be used to disable these buttons. If the printer is a part of a customized system or if it is used by a number of people, the system manager may have used this option to make sure the printer is always set properly. Problem: Static electricity causes my continuous-form paper to stick.
6 48 Clearing Rear-Feed Paper Jams Caution! Always turn the printer off before you turn the platen knob! Turn the printer off and open the paper separator 1). Use the platen knob to back the continuous-form paper out of the printer, removing any ripped pieces of paper. Re-load paper ( 2): open tractor covers, mount first two holes in paper on pins, close tractor covers. Turn the printer on and press the FF/LOAD button ( 3).
6 49 Solving the Problem of Continuing Rear-Feed Jamming If the rear-feed paper keeps jamming, you probably have bits of paper stuck in the paper path. Turn the printer off. Open the access cover, lift off the pull-up roller assembly (1) and remove any bits of paper from around the carriage. Open the paper separator and use the platen knob to back the paper out of the printer (2).
6 50 Solving the Problem of Continuing Rear-Feed Jamming (continued) Turn the platen knob to bring the quadruple-thick paper up around the platen. This will bring jammed pieces of paper up and out. Back the quadruple-thick paper out of the printer using the platen knob. Replace the pull-up roller assembly (1), re-load your regular continuous-form paper (2), and close the paper separator and the access cover (3). Turn the printer back on and press the FF/LOAD button (4).
6 51 Clearing Single-Sheet Feed Jams Turn the printer off. Rotate the platen knob to back the paper out of the carriage (1). If necessary, open the access cover and lift the pull-up roller assembly to provide access to remove any ripped pieces from around the carriage (2), then re-install the pull-up roller assembly and close the access cover. Turn the printer back on and place a new sheet of paper in the paper separator (3).
6 52 Cleaning the Housing Caution! Never use solvents or strong detergents on the housing — they could damage it! You should clean the printer every six months (or after about 300 hours of operation). Turn the printer off and move the paper out of the paper path. Open the access cover and remove the pull-up roller assembly (1). Remove any loose pieces of paper from the carriage area, then use a clean, dry cloth to dust around the carriage and platen (2).
