Topof form Whenyou turn on printerpower,the top-of-formpositionis automatically set to the currentposition.If this is not whereyou wantthe top of the page to be, you can changethe top-of-formpositionas follows. 1. Press the( ONLINE ) buttonto set the printeroff-line. 2.. Move the paper to the desired top-of-formposition by pressing the (PAPER FEED) button,orbyperformingaforwardorreversemicro-feed. 3. Press andhold the ( ONLINE ] button. 4. Press and hold the (PiT5R)button. 5.
Clearingthe buffer When DIP switch 2-1 is ON, the printer stores received data in a large memorybuffer.Thiscreatesaproblemwhenyouwantto abandona printing job and restart:theprintermay beholdingmuchmoredatain its bufferthan it has actuallyprinted,and this unprinteddata must be cleared out before restaffing.Turning power off is one way to clear the buffer, but there is anotherway: 1. Halt the printingprogramon the computer.
The bankof DIP (DualIn-linePackage)switchesinsidethe printeris used for variousfunctions. This chapterexplainswherethe DIP switchesam located,and how to use them. LOCATION OF THE DIP SWITCHES When you removethe printer’scover and look inside,you will see on the greenboardat thebottomof theprintertwo groupsof smallwhiteswitches markedDSW1andDSW2.Thesearetheprinter’sDIPswitches.DSW1has eightswitches,named 1-1to 1-8fromleft to right.DSW2has fourswitches named 2-1 to 2-4. Figure 3-1.
FUNCTIONS OF THE DIP SWITCHES Theprinteris deliveredwithallDIPswitchsetto theONposition.Theseare thestandardsettings.Bychangingthe settings,youcan altervariousprinter functionsto match your requirements.The followingquestionswill help you makethe right settings.
Switch 1-3: Which type of printing area format do you want to use for singlesheets? This printercan use two typesofpnnting areaformatfor singlesheets. By puttingtheswitchON(“Atype”),thetopofthefirstlineof printingwillstart to one inch from the top of the paper, andthe printedarea wiIIend to print one inch from the bottomof the paper. ByputtingtheswitchOFF(”B type”),thetopof thefirstlineof printingwill start 1/6inchfromthetop ofthepaper,andtheprintedareawillend 1/3inch fromthe bottomof the paper.
Switch 1-8: Do you want an automaticline feed? If you leave this switch at the ON position,a separateline-feed code is requiredto obtaina line feed. If you move this switch to the OFF position,the printer performs both a carriagereturn and line feed each time it receivesa carnage-returncode. Mostcomputersystemssend a line feedcode,or both a carriagereturnand line feed, at the end of each line, so this switchshouldbe left ON.
chapter 4 PRINTER CONTROL COMMANDS The printerhas two emulationmodes:Standardmode and IBM mode. In standardmode,theprinteremulatesthe functionsof theEpsonFX-1050. In IBM mode, the printer emulates the IBM Proprinter XL. Additional commandcodesare includedas a supersetof these emulations. Theemulations changedbymeansof DIPswitch1-6.WhenON,theprinter will be in standard mode, and when OFF, the printer will be in IBM emulationmode (see Chapter3).
Many commands have alternativeforms. Some commands use cESC> (charactercode27)in StandardmodeandcFS> (charactercode28)in IBM mode. Other commandshave parametersthat can be specified as either character codes or digit characters,like the parameter 1 in the sample commandabove.

Regular characten are permanently stored in the printer’s ROM, but charactersyou designare downloadedand storedin RAM for use.
. The minimumwidthof a characteris five dots. ● ● ● The user-definedcharactersmay use eightdots vertically. Dotscannotoverlap— that is, you may not have a dot insidea box next to one that is on a line. YoumaydefineanypositionintheASCIItable,excepttheblockgraphics area when you are downloadingin the IBM mode.

I If you want to print a title in double-sizeOrator with small capitals,then changeto regular-sizeCourierforsometextthatincludesitalics,youcanuse these commandsas follows: File as seen on computerscreen: ( (F) ) 2 ( (S) ) 3 Printer Commands ( (F) ) O ( (S) ) O Type style, size, bold print, and ( ( I ) ) 11ta 1i c ( ( I ) ) Ocorrunands can be embedded (( I))lanYwhem ((l)}Oln a document.
The printer supportsvariouscommandsin additionto the above,such as quadruple-sizeprinting. Mostof theseothercommandsconsistof the escapecode followedby one or more lettersor numbers. If yoursoftwareenablesyouto placetheescapecodein yourfiles,or if you were able to define this as a user optionduring installation,you can also embedthese escape sequences. PROGRAMMING THE PRINTER WITH DOS COMMANDS If your system includesthe file PRINT.COMyou can use the main DOS printingcommand.
I COPYandTYPE do not permityou to executeother commandswhilethe file is printing. If youwantaparticularfontstyle,orpnnt pitch,youcanmakethesesettings from the controlpanelbefore you start printing.See Chapter2. IfyouprintfromtheDOScommandlevelveryoften,itwillbe advantageous to createa printersetupfile.Then insteadof settingfontstyleetc. manually each time, you can completethe setup with a singlecommandfrom your computer.
‘V indicatesthat the followingcharacteris a controlcode. *V[ enters the code.has charactercode27, and“[” is the 27thcharacterin ASCII sequencefrom A. Similarly,‘VA enters the controlcode <1>. See your DOS manualif you need t%rtherinformationaboutEDLIN. You can now set up the printerby sendingit the fileNLQELITE.DAT.To avoidunnecessaryloggingof commands,switchhard-copyoutputoff (by pressing(TIllL-PRTSCifhardcopyis on).ToprintthefileREADME.

chapter 7 TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE Thefollowingsectionon troubleshootingandmaintenanceis intendedonly M a brief guideto these functions.Rememberthat yourprinteris a highly sophisticatedelectronicdevice,whichalsocontainshighvoltageinside.For that twcison,only carry out thoseoperationsdescribedin this chapter. CAUTION: Anyattempttocarryoutoperationsotherthanthosedescribed heremayresultin electricshockand/ordamageto the printer.
I Powersupply If the POWER indicatordoesnot illuminate,checkthe following: Check Is the power cable properly plugged into the electrical outtet? Is power being supplied to the outtet? Is theprintervoltage correct? Possible remedv I Turnoffthe@nter,ensure the power cable is securely connected, and then turn the printer back on. Turn off the printer, unplug it, and try with another appliance to determine if electricity is being supplied to that outlet.
If the print is faint,or uneven,checkthe following: Check Possible remedy Istheribbon properly in- Checkandreinstall ifnecessary. 1-”- Is the ribbon worn out? The ribbon has a long life, but eventually will need replacing. Fit a new riblxm cartridge if necessary.
Paper feeding If cut sheet paper (withoutthe ASF) is not feeding smoothly,check the following: Check Is the paper release lever pushed back (to the ~ position)? Is the paper guide in place and vertical? Are the left and right guides too close together? Is the ASF selected with the DIP switch settinm? Are you trying to feed paper using the front panel buttons while the. ON LINE indicator is illuminated? Is the paper too thick? Possible remedy Set the release lever to the ~ position.
Check Possible remedy Are you trying to feed paper You can only feed paper in this way when the printer is using the front panel buttons off-line. Set the printer off-line and then feed paper. while the ON LINEindicator isilluminated? Is the paper too thick? 1 1 There prelimits to the thickness of paper that can be fed in this way (one top copy and two NCR copies). Try with thinner paper.
If the paperpark facilitydoesnot appearto be workingcorrectly,checkthe following: Check Is the paper release lever in the ~ position? Has the fanfold paper been properly parked? Possible remcxly The paper release lever must be set to the ~ position after the fanfold paper has been parked. Make sure that the POWERindicator comes on flashing after the fanfold paper has been parked.
MAINTENANCE Essentially,your printer is a robust piece of equipment, but should be treatedwitha modicumof carein orderto avoidmalfunctions.Forexample: ● ● 9 ● ● Keep yourprinterin a “comfortable”environment.Roughlyspeaking,if youarecomfortable,thentheenvironmentis suitablefor yourprinter,too (see Chapter 1). Do not subjectthe printerto physicalshocksor excessivevibration. Avoid over-dusty environments.Dust is the enemy of all precision mechanicaldevices.
