3 Operating The Printer Powering On The Printer When you power on the printer, it executes a self-test. The default power-up state is online. When the self-test completes and the software has initialized successfully, the status indicator light turns on, indicating the printer is online. The default value of the type of emulation you have installed appears in the upper right corner of the display. The ribbon life remaining is shown on the second line.
Chapter 3 The Control Panel The Control Panel Figure 5 shows the keys, displays, and indicators as they appear on the control panel. The following section provides the descriptions, and functions of the control panel keys. Key combinations are indicated with the plus (+) sign. For example, “Press U + V” means to press the U key and the V key at the same time. PRT CONFIG SET TOF JOB SELECT/ PRINT MODE 183452b ENTER CANCEL ON LINE/CLEAR VIEW/EJECT PAPER ADVANCE Figure 5.
Control Panel Keys PAPER ADVANCE Performs advance to top-of-form, as defined by the current active form length. The key works both online and offline. • If online with data in the printer buffer, the data will print and then the paper will move to the next top-of-form. • In the fault state, PAPER ADVANCE will advance the paper. The first press moves to the top of the next available form. All subsequent presses advances one forms length as defined by the current active forms length.
Chapter 3 The Control Panel SET TOF Sets the top-of-form on the printer. This key is active only when the printer is offline and will not operate if the printer is in a fault condition. The paper moves down to the print position and aligns to the top-of-form. See the Quick Setup Guide for the complete top-of-form setting procedure. NOTE: If there is any data in the buffer, the paper will move to the last print position. PRT CONFIG In offline mode, PRT CONFIG prints the current printer configuration.

Chapter 3 Integrated Print Management System Integrated Print Management System The P7000 has a new feature that automatically monitors and communicates the status of the ribbon life to help the operator know when to change ribbons. Using an ink delivery system called the Cartridge Ribbon System (CRS), the printer can automatically detect when a new or used ribbon is loaded, and all ribbon properties. The ribbon is contained in a plastic box (the cartridge) and feeds only in one direction.
Loading a Used Ribbon Cartridge Loading a Used Ribbon Cartridge You can take the ribbon cartridge off the printer and reload it at a later time. The ribbon life gauge automatically updates to reflect the correct remaining capacity. NOTE: Since the ribbon usage information is stored on the ribbon cartridge, you can reload a partially used cartridge onto a different printer.
Chapter 3 Integrated Print Management System Changing Ribbon Cartridge Before changing the ribbon cartridge, determine whether at the end of ribbon life if you want to make the print lighter (extend the ribbon life) or darker (shorten the ribbon life). If you want to make the print lighter, go to “Ribbon End Point” on page 57 and follow the procedures for adjusting the image density.

4 The Configuration Menus Configuration Overview To print data, the printer must respond correctly to signals and commands received from the host computer. Configuration is the process of matching the printer's operating characteristics to those of the host computer and to specific tasks, such as printing labels or printing on different sizes of paper. The characteristics which define the printer's response to signals and commands received from the host computer are called configuration parameters.
Chapter 4 Configuration Overview Default And Custom Configurations A configuration consists of a group of parameter settings, such as line spacing, forms length, etc. Your printer provides a fixed default configuration and allows you to define several custom configurations for use with particular print jobs. The factory default configuration can be loaded, but it cannot be altered. Eight configurations can be modified for unique print job requirements. The “Save Config.

Inverted. Inverts the response signal sent to the host computer. Busy On Strobe • • Enable (default). Asserts a busy signal after each character is received. Disable. Asserts a busy signal only when the print buffers are full.
Dataproducts Submenu Trickle Time When the printer is printing data from a host and a second job is received by the printer from a different host, Trickle Time prevents the second host from timing out while it is waiting for its data to be printed. In order to support this feature, the port has to be able to accept data from the host and store it for future use.
Chapter 4 HOST INTERFACE PI Ignored The PI (Paper Instruction) signal is used to control vertical paper motion. • Enable (default). Causes the printer to interpret the eight data lines as DVFU commands when the PI signal is true. • Disable. Ignores the PI signal and treats the data as characters or control codes. Data Polarity The Data Polarity parameter must be set to match the data polarity of your host computer. • • Standard (default). Does not expect the host computer to invert the data.
Dataproducts Submenu Auto Trickle Auto Trickle is used to prevent a host computer from timing out because the parallel interface was busy for too long. When Auto Trickle is enabled and the printer's buffers are almost full, the printer will begin to trickle data in (at the rate set in the Trickle Time menu) until the buffers start to empty out.

Serial Submenu Data Protocol You can select one of the following serial interface protocols to meet the host interface requirements. • XON / XOFF (default). The printer controls the flow of communication from the host by turning the transmission on and off. In some situations, such as when the buffer is full or the timing of signals is too slow or too fast, the printer will tell the host to stop transmission by sending an XOFF character.
Chapter 4 HOST INTERFACE The response characters are described in Table 2. Table 2. Series1 1 Char Response Characters Printer State Online and Buffer Empty • Response CR Online and Buffer Full 3 Offline and Buffer Empty 0 Offline and Buffer Full 2 SERIES1 2 CHAR. This protocol behaves exactly the same as the Series1 Char except there is a two-character response to the host. The response characters are described in Table 3. Table 3.
Serial Submenu Baud Rate Sets the baud rate of the serial interface in the printer. Baud rate is the speed at which serial data is transferred between the host computer and the printer. The choices for the RS-232 and RS-422 interfaces are 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 Baud. The default is 9600 Baud. NOTE: If you select a baud rate that is greater than 19200, you may need to use RS-422 or select a lower baud rate to prevent data loss.
Chapter 4 HOST INTERFACE Request To Send This configuration is part of hardware flow control and determines when the Request to Send (RTS) signal is generated. This signal indicates whether or not the printer is ready to receive data. • On Line and BNF (default). Asserts the RTS signal when the printer is online and the internal serial buffer is not full. • Off Line or BF. Asserts the RTS signal when the printer is offline or the internal serial buffer is full. • • • On Line.
Serial Submenu One Char Enquiry The One Char Enquiry mode uses the Poll Character to detect a request from the host and sends a response back to the host. This option also allows you to turn on and off this feature. Table 4.

5 Interfaces Overview This chapter describes the host interfaces provided with the printer. The printer interface is the point where the data line from the host computer plugs into the printer. The interface processes all communications signals and data to and from the host computer. Plus, with the Auto Switching feature, you can configure the printer to accept several interfaces at the same time (see “Auto Switching Submenu” on page 61).
Chapter 5 Centronics Parallel Interface Optional Host Interfaces: • • Ethernet 10/100BaseT RS-422 Serial (not available in Taiwan) In addition to descriptions for the multi-line interfaces, this chapter also provides instructions for configuration of terminating resistors for the parallel interfaces. Centronics Parallel Interface Table 5.
Centronics Parallel Interface Signals Centronics Parallel Interface Signals Data Lines 1 through 8. Provides eight standard or inverted levels from the host that specify character data, plot data, or a control code. Data Line 8 allows access to the extended ASCII character set. You may enable or disable this line via the Data Bit 8 parameter on the Centronics submenu (see page page 63). Data Strobe. Carries a low true, 100 ns minimum pulse from the host that clocks data into the printer. Acknowledge.
Chapter 5 IEEE 1284 Parallel Interface Nibble Mode Eight bits equals one byte. When a byte of data is sent to the printer, the eight bits are sent over eight data lines. Some devices cannot send data over their eight data lines. To bypass this, the 1284 permits data to be sent as half a byte over four status lines. (Half a byte equals one nibble.) Two sequential four-bit nibbles are sent over the lines.

Press the ENTER key to activate the reprogramming sequence.
7 Troubleshooting Cleaning Requirements Clean the printer every six months or after every 1000 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. If the printer is located in a dusty area or is used for heavy duty printing, clean it more often. WARNING Disconnect the power source before cleaning the printer. Vor dem Säubern des Druckers ist die Netzverbindung zu unterbrechen. Débranchez l’alimentation avant de nettoyer l’imprimante. Desconecte la fuente de energía antes de limpiar la impresora.
Chapter 7 Cleaning Requirements Interior Cleaning Over time, particles of paper and ink accumulate inside impact printers. This is normal. Paper dust and ink build-up must be periodically removed to avoid degraded print quality. Most paper dust accumulates around the ends of the platen and ribbon path.
Interior Cleaning To clean the interior of the printer perform the following steps. 1. Power off the printer and unplug the printer power cord. 2. Open the printer cover. 3. Fully raise the forms thickness lever. 4. Unload the paper. 5. Remove the ribbon catridge. 6. Lift the ribbon out of the ribbon path. 7. Brush the paper dust and ribbon lint off the tractors, shuttle cover assembly, and base casting with a soft-bristled, non-metallic brush (such as a toothbrush). Vacuum up the residue.
Chapter 7 Diagnosing Problems Diagnosing Problems This section is designed to help you fix problems which may arise with normal printer operation. Bar Code Verification The most important consideration when printing a bar code is to ensure that the bar code will be scanned properly. Incorporating a bar code quality procedure in the printing process is the best way to ensure that bar codes are being printed correctly.

C Zero Tear Pedestal Overview The P7000 Zero Tear Pedestal (ZTP) printer can print a form and present it for tear off without losing a form between print jobs. The printer automatically presents the current print line to the tear bar when it finishes printing and no data are being sent to the printer. When it receives more data from the host computer, the printer pulls the form down to the print station and resumes printing.

Appendix C Overview Set The Top Of Form Paper Tear Bar Form Advance Knob 183491b Figure 35. Setting The Tear Off Position The ZT printer uses the tear bar as the reference point for setting the tear off position. To set the position of the forms perforation to the tear bar, use the SET TOF button as follows: 1. Make sure the paper guides are adjusted correctly and the paper is properly loaded. 2. Press the SET TOF button on the control panel.
Set The Top Of Form ZTP SETTINGS Menu The ZTP SETTINGS menu includes the ability to enable and disable features unique to the Zero Tear printer (ZTP), set the tear bar distance, set the auto present data time, and set the auto present wait time. This section defines these options. * = Factory Default Available for Zero Tear Pedestal printers only. 1 ZTP SETTINGS 1 (from page 52) ZTP Function Enable* Disable ZTP TearDistance ZTP Data Time 1060/144 Inch* .5 Sec* 1.0 - 15.
Appendix C Performance Limitations ZTP Platen Open This option allows the user to have the platen open whenever forms are reversed. Enabled is the default, used for most papers and labels. The feature can be disabled as required by some multi-part forms. Performance Limitations Forms Type The paper feed tractors on the ZT printer push the paper up through the print station instead of pulling it through, as in the standard pedestal printer. This limits the variety of forms the ZT printer can use.
Set The Top Of Form Paper Jams Printer jams can occur if you tear off the form incorrectly. If you experience two or more paper jams per box of forms, follow these guidelines to help reduce jams: • • • • • Position the lower paper guides properly Align the paper web tightness properly Position the form perforation against the tear bar Time the tear, while the paper is not moving Direct the tear force toward the user and across the tear bar, not upward.
