viii P9012 Multinational User's Reference Manual
CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW Introduction The Printronix P9012 printer is a quiet, full-featured, multifunction line printer. In addition to the basic Printronix P-Series printer functions, the P9012 includes correspondence quality print for near-letter-quality (NLQ) printing requirements, high-speed printing, and character-by-character attributes for wide application compatibility.
n Built-in Diagnostic Self-Tests n RibbonMindert Feature n Configuration Printout n Data Stream Hex Code Printout n Resident Serial and Parallel Interfaces n Downloadable Character Sets n Downloadable Languages Two separate graphics capabilities are included in the printer: standard P-Series odd-even dot Plot Mode graphics and Bit Image graphics. Intelligent graphics capabilities are available by using the Printronix Intelligent Graphics Processor (IGP) options.
Character Formation The P9012 printer generates characters by assembling groups of dots in matrices. Dots overlap to produce a solid appearing character (Figure 1-1). Dot impressions are made by an assemĆ bly of 88 hammers installed on an oscillating shuttle. The hammers impact the paper through a moving ink ribbon. Horizontal shuttle movement and vertical paper advancement combine for precise dot printing to form the character. Figure 1-1.

Plot Rate As well as character printing, the P9012 printer is capable of dot-addressable graphic plotting. Based on the protocol selected, either P-Series Plot Mode or Serial Matrix Bit Image GraphĆ ics is used; the plot rate specifications apply to both P-Series and Serial Matrix types of graphĆ ic plotting. The plot rate (in inches per minute, ipm," bidirectional) is described in Table 1-2 according to the dot density (in dots per inch, dpi).
1-6 Overview
CHAPTER 2 OPERATION Operation Features On Line The P9012 printer functions either on line" or off line." When on line, the printer is capable of receiving data and control commands from the host computer. The message display on the printer control panel indicates that the printer is on line and shows the current print mode. Off Line When the printer is off line, communication between the printer and the host computer is temĆ porarily stopped and the message OFFLINE READY appears on the display.
You can also define and download an international language to allow any character within the character library to be substituted for any code. Similarly, an individual character in a font, or an entire set of characters, can be created and placed in a font. These downloading features are discussed in more detail in the Programming chapter and the Appendix. Power Switch The AC power switch is located at the lower left corner of the rear panel of the printer.

Control Panel ON LINE Switch Press this switch to place the printer alternately on line or off line.
CLEAR Switch and CHECK Indicator If a fault condition occurs, a fault message appears on the Message Display, and the CHECK indicator flashes alternately with the ON LINE indicator. Press the CLEAR switch to indicate to the printer that a fault condition has been corrected. After pressing CLEAR, the fault status will be validated and the display updated. If all faults were corrected, the display will indicate the printer is off line. In addition, the CLEAR switch also has the special functions noted below.
HOLD ENABLE, REPRINT PA1, CANCEL PA2, ALT MODE (Optional Switches) These four switches and their associated LEDs are included on printers equipped with a Printronix PI-3287 printer interface and operate independently of all other control panel switches. The PI-3287 enables a Printronix printer to emulate an IBM 3287 printer; the printer may then be used with an IBM 3274 or 3276 control unit. Information on the operation and function of these switches is contained in the PI-3287 User's Reference Manual.
The ENTER switch must be enabled (unlocked) before making configuration or format changes. Simultaneously pressing MENU UP and MENU DOWN alternately locks and unĆ locks the ENTER switch. (This sequence protects against accidental reconfiguration.) ResetĆ ting the printer or turning the power off and on will lock the ENTER switch. No other switches are affected by this action.
Loading Paper The P9012 printer uses standard fanfold paper from 3 to 16 inches wide and 15 to 100 lb bond (0.025 inches thick maximum). To load paper, perform the following steps and refer to Figure 2-2. 1. Place the printer off line and raise the printer cover. 2. Fully raise the Forms Thickness Adjustment Lever (A). (The CHECK indicator will light, the status lamps will flash alternately, and the display will indicate a platen open condiĆ tion). 3. Open both tractor gates (B) by swinging them out.
Figure 2-2.
Setting Top-Of-Form Top-of-form determines where the first line of print will appear and is set when paper is loaded. Typically, the first line of print is set approximately one-half inch below the paper perĆ foration unless specific application requirements dictate otherwise. Once top-of-form has been set, the paper can be advanced to the top of the next form by pressing the PAPER ADV switch. Unless otherwise configured, the P9012 printer assumes 11-inch length paper is used.
Figure 2-3. Setting Top-of-Form Setting Top-of-Form - Reverse Paper Motion NOTE: Do not use this method of setting top-of-form for heavy forms or peel-off laĆ bel forms. 1. Place the printer off line and raise the printer cover. 2. Move the Forms Thickness Adjustment Lever to the fully open position. (The CHECK indicator will light, the status lamps will flash alternately, and FAULT CONDITION PLATEN OPEN will be displayed.) 3.
Paper Stacking The printer can stack at least half a box of standard computer paper when the paper is properly loaded. After loading the paper, perform the following steps. 1. Open the rear cabinet door to access the paper stacking area. NOTE: Step 2 pertains to installation of the front paper stacking fence. (The rear fence on the rear cabinet door is installed at the factory.) If the front fence has already been installed, continue with the paper stacking instructions at step 3. 2.
NOTE 4: Check that the chains are properly installed (see Installation chapter) and that they engage the paper. Figure 2-4.
Figure 2-5. Paper Tent Installation Figure 2-6.
Unloading Paper 1. Place the printer off line and raise the printer cover. 2. Tear off the paper below the paper slot. 3. Fully raise the Forms Thickness Adjustment Lever. 4. Open both tractor gates and remove the paper from the tractor sprockets. 5. Gently pull the paper up through the paper slot. Be careful not to let paper perforations or sprocket holes catch on the ribbon mask. Replacing The Ribbon Each printer is shipped with a standard black ink, one-inch nylon fabric ribbon on two spools.
Figure 2-7. Ribbon Replacement 7. Lower the Forms Thickness Adjustment Lever (A) to the appropriate operating position. 8. Press CLEAR (on the control panel) to clear the PLATEN OPEN fault condition. 9. Close the printer cover and place the printer on line.
Setting Forms Length NOTE: Forms length can also be set by control code from the host computer which will override the control panel setting. Using control codes, the host computer can specify forms lengths other than those available from the control panel. Refer to the ProgramĆ ming chapter for more information. The printer uses continuous, tractor-fed paper with the forms length set between 1.0 and 24.0 inches, or between 1 and 192 lines at 6 or 8 lines per inch.
2. Press MENU DOWN to display the current forms length in lines. 3. Press NEXT or PREV to increase or decrease the forms length in 1-line increments, reĆ spectively. When the appropriate value is displayed, save it as described below. 4. Press ENTER to select the displayed forms length. 5. Press CLEAR to return to OFFLINE READY. 6. Simultaneously press MENU UP and MENU DOWN to lock the printer configuration. 7. Set the top of form according the the instructions on page 2-9. 8.
For additional printing capabilities and character attributes, refer to the Programming chapĆ ter. Print mode control from the host will override the control panel setting. Setting Line Spacing P9012 printers can be set for a line spacing of 6, 8, or 10.3 lines per inch (lpi) from the control panel by using the 6/8 LPI switch. To select the line spacing from the control panel, perform the following procedure. 1. Place the printer off line. 2.
3. Press MENU DOWN, then repeatedly press NEXT or PREV until the PRINT DATA STREAM IN HEX CODE message is displayed. 4. Press MENU DOWN; the display will show OFFLINE HEX DUMP. 5. Press ON LINE. The display will indicate that the printer is on line and in hex dump mode. 6. Send the data from the host; the hex dump will print. 7. Press ON LINE again to stop the hex dump. The display will read OFFLINE HEX DUMP. 8. Press CLEAR to return printer to OFFLINE READY. 9.
Fault Condition Messages If a fault condition occurs in the printer, the CHECK light illuminates, the status lamps blink alternately, and the first line of the message display reads FAULT CONDITION. If confiĆ gured, an alarm will sound when the Fault Condition occurs. The second line of the display will show the specific fault. (If the specific fault description requires two lines, the message FAULT CONDITION will not be shown.
Field Service Required Printer problems requiring the attention of an authorized service representative also appear on the second line of the display and are indicated by an asterisk (*) next to the message: PROGRAM PROM * NOVRAM * FONT PROM * HAMMER DR PCB X * ( X = 1, 2, or 3 ) If HAMMER DR PCB X * appears on the display, printer power will automatically shut off 10 seconds after the fault message is displayed.
2-22 Operation
CHAPTER 3 CONFIGURATION Introduction Configuration refers to the set of operating parameters that define how the printer communiĆ cates with the host computer. Most configuration parameters are selected from the control panel, as shown in the Control Panel Configuration Diagram at the end of this chapter. Some configuration parameters are hardware selectable by installing jumpers on the DCU board, as described in Appendix F.
From the main configuration menus below, related configuration parameter values can be disĆ played and selected. D Ribbon Life xxx% D Character Set D Application Compatibility D Paper Format D Host Interface D Load Parameters D Save Parameters D Diagnostics NOTE: The xxx% in the Ribbon Life menu will not be displayed in the LCD message if the RibbonMinder feature is disabled.
Figure 3-1.
Factory Default Configuration Values Printronix factory default configuration values are shown in Table 3-1. These values are operaĆ tional when the printer is received. New values can be saved and applied as necessary for each application, but factory default values remain accessible using the LOAD PARAMETERS menu. On the Control Panel Configuration Diagrams, factory configuration values are indiĆ cated by an asterisk (*). (The asterisk is not shown on the printer display.) Table 3-1.
Configuration Procedure Most configuration options are selected from the control panel menu. To change the configuraĆ tion from the control panel, the printer must be powered up, off line (OFFLINE READY), and the control panel ENTER switch enabled (unlocked). The current configuration may be examĆ ined - but not changed - by leaving the ENTER switch locked. The basic configuration procedure requires pressing MENU DOWN and NEXT/PREV to arĆ rive at the desired menu.
Load Configuration Values The previously saved default value set or the permanently stored Printronix factory value set can be loaded for use as needed. The following procedure provides a convenient method of resetting the printer configuration to a known value set. 3-6 1. Place the printer off line and raise the printer cover. Enable the ENTER switch by pressĆ ing MENU UP and MENU DOWN simultaneously. ENTER SWITCH NOT LOCKED will temporarily appear in the LCD message display. 2.
Control Panel Configuration Diagram The Control Panel Configuration Diagram is a series of block diagrams that show the configuĆ ration menus and the parameters (values) available within each menu. The boxes represent the message display, the message that appears on the display is printed inside the box, and the letĆ ters outside the boxes adjacent to the directional arrows represent control panel switches. When a switch is pressed, an arrow leads to the displayed result of pressing that switch.

CHAPTER 4 GRAPHICS Introduction The printer can produce bit image graphics when in Serial Matrix protocol, and P-Series Plot Mode graphics when in P-Series protocol. You can print text and graphics on the same line only by using the bit image protocol in Serial Matrix protocol. In either mode, printing text is the default mode. Consequently, each line of graphics data must include the necessary plot mode commands to enable the printer to perform the desired graphics functions.

Bit Image Pattern Plan How Bit Image Graphics Are Produced The binary data byte bit pattern for the ASCII character A" (hex 41, decimal 65) is pictured in Figure 4-2. D If this data byte is rotated clockwise, the result is a vertical data byte pattern with the most significant bit (MSB) at the top.

Bit Image Pattern from an ASCII Character Bit Image Density Bit image graphics may be printed in different dot densities. Dot densities are selected by conĆ trol code: D D Control code ESC K selects the Single Density Mode.
the same as in the Single Density mode. Double horizontal density requires twice the number of input data bytes to print the same length line as for Single Density. PrintĆ ing double density reduces the printing speed by half. D Control code ESC Y selects the Double Speed, Double Density Mode. When the Double Density, Double Speed control code is received, the data will be printed at double the current horizontal dot density, but adjacent dots are not printed.
D At 60 dpi, Single Density = 792 bytes; Double Density = 1584 bytes Quadruple Density = 3168 bytes Data in excess of the right margin is discarded. If the auto line feed is enabled, data in excess of the right margin will cause a Line Feed (LF) and continue printing on the next line. A detailed description of the individual bit image control codes with examples is provided in the Programming chapter.
In Normal Density Plot: D The mode is selected with the odd dot plot control code ENQ (05 hex). D The odd-numbered dot columns are addressed to produce a horizontal and vertical density that varies, based on the mode of operation: Print Mode D Horizontal dpi Vertical dpi Data Processing (DP) 60 72 Correspondence (NLQ) 90 96 High Speed A (HS) 60 48 High Speed B (HSB) 60 72 High Speed C (HSC) 60 72 Different print modes cannot be mixed on the same dot row.
Plot Data Byte Format In P-Series Plot Mode, the format is as follows: D Each data byte specifies six out of twelve dot columns. D Using odd dot plot mode, bits 1 to 6 of the data byte address the odd-numbered dot columns; using even dot plot mode, bits 1 to 6 of the data byte address the evennumbered dot columns. D Bit 6 and/or bit 7 of the data byte must be a 1" (or true) bit in the Plot mode. D Bit 8 of the data byte is not used in the Plot mode and may be either a 1 or 0.
Plot Data Line Format A plot data line may contain any number of plot data bytes up to the maximum of 132 for horiĆ zontal dot density of 60 dpi (Data Processing mode) or 198 bytes for a horizontal dot density of 90 dpi (Correspondence mode). If Auto Line Feed is disabled, any bytes over the maximum are lost. If the maximum is exceeded and Auto Line Feed is enabled, a Line Feed (LF) is forced and the remaining plot data is printed as text on the next line.
3. 4. Send the odd dot plot control code ENQ (05 hex) and a second line of data, followed by a line terminator. a. A line feed (0A hex) used as the line terminator causes the contents of the buffer to be plotted and the paper advances a single dot row, based on the vertical density of the current mode. A CR (if CR = CR + LF is configured) may also be used with the same result. b.
Plotting the Data P-Series Plot Mode plots the image from the horizontal bit pattern. Figure 4-8 duplicates the pattern shown in Figure 4-4 but is modified for Odd Dot Plot. Eight dot rows are required, two characters per row, six columns per character. (The dots required to produce the pattern are shown in NO TAG on page NO TAG.

To Exit the P-Series Plot Mode When returning to the print mode from the P-Series Plot Mode, an extra line feed should be included in the data stream to maintain proper print line registration relative to the last line of plot graphics. If the extra line feed is not included, the first character line after the graphics data may be truncated, as shown in Figure 4-10. plot data plot data @ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR In this example, a text line follows plot data, preceded by a single line terminator code.
CHAPTER 5 VERTICAL FORMAT UNITS Introduction The P9012 printer includes four vertical format units: 1) Printronix standard Electronic Vertical Format Unit (EVFU), 2) Dataproducts Direct Access Vertical Format Unit (DVFU), 3) Direct Access Vertical Format Unit (NVFU), and 4) Centronics Direct Access Vertical Format Unit (CVFU). Although not a true" VFU, a vertical tab table is provided for forms control in Serial Matrix protocol.
Line spacing may be mixed on the same form, but should be done with caution to avoid unpreĆ dictable results. VFU Deselected - If any VFU is deselected from the control panel, the VFU data is ignored and the forms length definition returns to the previously set value. The current print position becomes the top-of-form. VFU Load/Save/Clear One VFU table can be saved in Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) at a time. The VFU table forĆ mat is: VFU type, LPI, and VFU channel data.
Channel 1 - The top-of-form code, reserved as the first line on the form or the first line printed (top-of-form position). The operating program sends the channel 1 code to advance to the top of the next form. After the memory is loaded, a Form Feed code (FF, 0C hex) will move the paper tothe next channel 1 (top-of-form). Channels 2 through 11, 13 and 14 - Used as general channel codes (line identification codes) or filler channels. Each line on the form must be identified by a channel code.
Table 5-1.
Table 5-2.
1. The PI line must be enabled and set high; 2. Data bit 5 must be 1 (set); and 3. The EVFU must be the selected Vertical Format Unit. The Slew Relative configuration and the status of data bits 1-4 determine the number of lines slewed as described in Table 5-3. (Note that the state of data bit 5 is the difference between line slewing and using the interface lines as EVFU channel codes.
Start Load Code - 6C, 6D, or 6E Hex 6E Hex - The DVFU start load code of 6E (hex) with the PI line high initiates the DVFU memĆ ory load routine using the current printer line spacing as the DVFU line spacing. 6C Hex - The DVFU start load code of 6C (hex) with the PI line high initiates the DVFU memĆ ory load routine using 6 lpi as the line spacing regardless of the current printer line spacing.

Table 5-6.
Channel Assignment The NVFU memory has the capacity for 256-line forms. The first line identification code (channel code) in the memory load program defines the first line on the form; the second line identification code defines the second line on the form, etc. Each line must have a line identifiĆ cation code. Filler channel codes are used for lines that will not be accessed by the print proĆ gram. The same filler channel code can be repeated as necessary for any number of lines.
Using the NVFU The VFU LOADED indicator on the control panel lights when the NVFU program has been enabled and loaded. Sending an appropriate channel code to the printer will cause any data in the buffer to print and slew the paper to the next line on the form having the specified channel number assigned in NVFU memory. For a data byte to be recognized as a NVFU channel inĆ struction, the following criteria must be met: 1. PI line must be enabled and set high; and 2. Data bit 5 must be 0 (not set).
Relative Line Slewing Another method of moving paper using the PI line results in vertical slews of a specified numĆ ber of lines within the form relative to the current print line (rather than slewing to a specific line). For this to occur, three criteria must be met: 1. PI line must be set high; 2. Data bit 5 must be 1 (set); and 3. The NVFU must be the selected Vertical Format Unit.
A maximum of 12 channels can be assigned to one physical line on the form. Two eight-bit data bytes (CVFU characters) are required per line. As shown in Table 5-10, the least significant 6 bits of the first data byte are used to assign channels 1 through 6; the least significant 6 bits of the second data byte are used to assign channels 7 through 12. If a bit is set, the corresponding channel is assigned. Each line on the form requires two bytes.
Using the CVFU - 1F Hex The VFU LOADED indicator on the control panel lights when the CVFU program has been enabled and loaded. Sending an appropriate channel code to the printer will cause any data in the buffer to print and slew the paper to the next line on the form having the specified channel number assigned in CVFU memory. For a data byte to be recognized as a CVFU channel inĆ struction, the following criteria must be met: 1. A 1F hex code must have been received; and 2.
5. Bit 7 is low during the CVFU load. 6. A second start load code is received, resulting in reinitialization of the NVFU. (This alĆ lows the host data to be restarted.) When the CVFU memory is cleared, the forms length returns to the previously set value and the current print position becomes the top-of-form (TOF).
Table 5-12.
Vertical Tab Positions Vertical tab positions are assigned to a line number. A maximum of 16 vertical tab positions can be assigned on the form. A sample format is shown in Figure 5-1. The first vertical tab is asĆ signed line 6 for part number data, a second tab is assigned line 8 for part name data, and a third tab is assigned line 14 for quantity data. The ESC B code is used to assign the vertical tabs to the lines of the form.
CHAPTER 6 PROGRAMMING Introduction The P9012 printer can be configured by from the control panel to respond to Printronix P-SeĆ ries or Serial Matrix control codes. This dual compatibility allows the programmer to choose one of two standard protocols. If equipped with the Intelligent Graphics Processor (IGP) opĆ tion, the printer will respond to the Special Function Control Character and IGP commands as described in the IGP User's Reference Manual.
Control Code Functions The following information is listed for each code function (where applicable and possible). ASCII Mnemonic - The standard ASCII name for the control code. Hex Code - The code's numeric equivalent in hexadecimal. Decimal Code - The code's numeric equivalent in decimal. Purpose - The function(s) of the control code. Comment - A description of exceptions or limitations to normal use.
Print format, print mode, or international language selection can be controlled by a longer seĆ quence known as a Command Line. Command Lines are string" type commands placed beĆ tween complete lines of text and affect the text which follows. The printer has six Command Lines: PMODE, OSET, PSET, LPI, LINES, and INCHES. Each of these Command Lines is discussed in this chapter under the appropriate Control Code function.
Control Code Reference Index The following index lists the control codes by function and lists the ASCII mnemonic and page number. Alphabetical listings by mnemonic and function are provided in Appendix D. NOTE: Some control code functions can be accomplished using another control code sequence or via control panel selection.

CHAPTER 11 INSTALLATION Introduction This chapter explains P9012 printer installation procedures. The following topics are covered: n Power Requirements n Site Requirements n Shipping Restraints n Paper Stacking Chain Assembly Installation n Cable Connections n Preliminary Test Be sure to read this chapter carefully before installing and operating the printer. Perform the procedures in the order presented.
A label on the back of the printer near the power cord indicates the voltage and frequency reĆ quirements. The printer must be connected to the specified power source, either 110, 220 or 240 volts at 50 to 60 Hz. Line voltage can vary 10%. The printer automatically senses and adjusts itself to conform to the proper voltage. Primary circuit protection is contained in the printer. Consult an electrician if printer operation affects local electrical lines. - WARNING The power cord requires an I.E.C.
Figure 11-1. Site Requirements Shipping Restraints During shipping, the printer mechanism is protected by foam packing and removable tie wraps which secure the Forms Thickness Adjustment Lever, Paper Guide, Front Paper Fence, and Paper Tent. Remove the foam packing and tie wrap restraints as described below, referring to Figure 11-2. - WARNING - To prevent possible injury, do not connect the AC power source before removing the shipping restraints.
Figure 11-2.
Paper Stacking Chain Assembly Installation The Paper Stacking Chain Assembly is used on the printer to ensure correct paper flow and stacking. To install the Chain Assembly, perform the following steps and refer to Figure 11-3. 1. If paper is loaded in the printer, unload the paper (refer to the Operation chapter). 2. Open the printer rear door to access the paper stacking area. 3.
Cable Connections Perform the following steps and refer to Figure 11-4 to connect the cables to the printer. 1. Verify that the site line voltage is within the same range as that shown on the printer ID label (A) and that the proper power cord has been selected. (Refer to the Power RequireĆ ments section on page 11-1.) 2. Make sure the printer power switch (B) is set to OFF (0). 3. Connect the power cord to the printer's AC power connector (C) and the AC line receptaĆ cle. 4.
Preliminary Test The printer is now ready for a preliminary test. The following steps define the test procedure. Control panel and Message Display features are explained in the Operation chapter. 1. Set the AC power switch to ON. 2. Load full-width (132 column) computer paper and ribbon (refer to the Operation chapĆ ter for Paper Loading instructions.) 3. Set top-of-form (refer to the Operation chapter). 4. Press the ON LINE switch until the display shows OFFLINE READY. 5.

APPENDIX E DOWNLOADING CHARACTERS Introduction P9012 printers include the ability to create and download unique characters from the host comĆ puter to the printer's working memory (RAM). Downloaded characters must be reloaded each time printer power is recycled or RAM is cleared unless they are saved into nonvolatile memory. Three commands are involved in downloading a character: 1. SFCC c - defining the new character in a specific print mode and pitch. 2.
{A}; is the single-character attribute flag identifying whether the character contains descenders (a portion of the character descends below the botĆ tom of the print line) or extenders (2 dot rows near the bottom of the character are repeated until what would be the next line boundary at 6 lpi). Extenders are used for graphics characters. 0 = no attributes; 2 = descenders; and 6 = extended characters. The semicolon (;) is the hexaĆ decimal data terminator.
Table E-2.
Examples The following examples illustrate the process of creating three characters: one with no attribĆ utes, one with descenders, and one with extenders. NOTE: If adjacent dots are used to create the character, the printer will set an adjacent dot flag, and any line containing the character may print at half the normal speed. Half speed may also result if a dot is placed in the first or last dot column of the character cell.
The command for the character shown in Figure E-1 is defined as follows: ESC c {60}{57E}{0};{0;F00;1080;2041;2046;2048;2050;10E0;F00;0;0;0;} where: ESC c is the Serial Matrix Control Code Header introducing the Download a Character command. {60} is the selected print mode and pitch code from Table E-2 derived from Print Mode/Pitch Selection Table 6-7 on page 6-59 (where m = 6 repreĆ senting OCR mode; and n = 0 representing a pitch of 10 cpi.

{90E} is the address location in the Character Library where the downloaded character will be sent. The existing character at address 90 will be reĆ placed with the new character. E is the decimal field terminator (required after each decimal field). - IMPORTANT If a downloaded character replaces an existing character in a print mode and pitch, that character will be changed in every character set or international language in which that existing character was used.

{1010E} is the address location in the Character Library where the downloaded character will be sent. Address 1010 is an unused address. E is the decimal field terminator (required after each decimal field). - IMPORTANT If a downloaded character replaces an existing character in a print mode and pitch, that character will be changed in every character set or international language in which that existing character was used.

APPENDIX F HARDWARE JUMPER CONFIGURATION Jumpers on the DCU (Data Control Unit) board are used to select a few configuration paĆ rameters. These jumpers are installed for normal operation at the factory. However, certain applications may require a modification to the jumper configuration. To change any of these configuration jumpers, the DCU logic board must be removed. Table F-1 describes the jumpĆ er configurations.
Side Panel Removal To remove the right side panel to access the card cage, perform the following instructions and refer to Figure F-1. 1. Disconnect the AC power source. 2. Raise the printer cover. 3. Loosen (but do not remove) the captive screws (A), one at a time, from the upper corners of the side panel (B) until the side panel pulls away from the cabinet. 4. Using both hands, lift the side panel up and off the mounting studs (C) at the bottom of the printer side panel. Figure F-1.
Removing the DCU PCBA After removing the side panel, the card cage can be accessed. To remove the DCU PCBA from the card cage, perform the following instructions and refer to Figure F-2. 1. To remove the card cage access panel (A), loosen (but do not remove) the two hex head screws (B) on the bottom of the card cage and lift the panel up and off. 2. Locate the DCU PCBA (C); the names of the PCBAs are printed on the card cage. 3.
