Leavethe top coverclosed duringnormaloperation.The cover keeps out dustanddirtand reducestheprinter’soperatingsounds.
Connection Connecttheprinter to your computerusing a standard parallel interface cable.On a PC or PC/AT-typecomputer,thismeansthat youuse the 25-pin D-typeconnectorat the computerend, andthe Amphenol-type36-pinconnector at the printer end. The configurationof the printer’s connectoris given in Chapter 8 should you need a cable for connectionto another computer. If you need to connect to a serial port, use the optional Serial-Parallel converter,SPC-8K.
LOADING SINGLE SHEETS Thissectionwilltake you throughtheproceduresfor loadingsinglesheets of paper. If youareusingthe optionalautomaticsheetfeeder(AN?),referto the ASF instructionbooklet. Automaticloading Singlesheetscan be loadedmanuallywith the poweroff, or automatically with the poweron. We will start the easy way with automaticloading. 1. Place the paper guide in positionby insertingthe tabs, locatedon the bottomof the assembly,into the slotson the rear coverof the printer. lever Figure T-8.
2. Make sure that the releaselever is down. If fanfoldpaperis alreadymountedin theprinter,pressthe PAPER FEED buttonwhileholdingthe FONTbuttonto park the paperin the off-line state,then movethe releaseleverdownwards. 3. Adjustthe paper guidesto match the size of paper you will be using. Rememberthatprintingwillstartsomedistancefromtheleft-handedge of the carriage. 4. Turnonthepowerusingtheswitchlocatedatthefrontof theprinter.The pnnterwill beep,indicatingthatthereisnopaperinpositionforpnnting.
I Manualloading It isalsopossibletoloadpapermanuallywhiletheprinter’spowerisoff.The procedureis: 1. Place the paper guide in positionby insertingthe tabs, locatedon the bottomof the assembly,into the slotson the rear coverof the printer. 2. Checkthat printerpower is off and the releaselever is down. 3. Openthetopcover,thenmovethebailleverontopof theprinterfonvard to open the paper bail. 4. Adjustthe paper guidesto match the size of paper you will be using.
LOADING AND PARKING FANFOLD FORMS Fanfold forms have holes along the sides and perforationsbetween the sheets.They are also called sprocketforms, punchedforms, or just plain “computerpaper”.This printeracceptsformsup to 10”wide.This section will take you throughthe proceduresfor loading,parking and unparking fanfoldforms. Loadingthepaper 1. Placea stackof fanfoldpaperbehindandatleastonepage-lengthbelow the printer. 2. Turn the printer’spower OFF. 3. Pushthe releaseleverforward.
6. Withthe sprocketcoversopen,mountthe paperby aligningholes with the pins on the sprockets. 7. Adjustthe spacingof the sprocketsby slidingthemalongthe bar, using the clampleverat the backof each sprocketto releaseandlock themin position.Whenthe lever is down,the sprocketis released,and when it is up, the sprocketis locked. I Figuru 7-11. Mount the fanfold psper over the sprockets. 8. Now closethe sprocketcovers,againmakingsure that the paperholes are aligned with the pins on the sprockets.
13.Mountthe paperguidein the horizontalpositionshownin Figure 1-12, so that it will separatethe printedfrom the unprintedpaper. F/gufo 1-12.
Paperparking Afterloadingfanfoldpaper,youdo nothaveto unloadit whenyou wantto print on a singlesheet.The printerwill “park”it for you if you followthe procedurebelow. 1. To beginpaper parking,start with power ON, fanfoldpaperloadedin printingposition,and the releaselever up. 2. Press the ONLINEbuttonon the controlpanelto set the printeroff-line. ONLINEindicatorwill turn off. 3. Tear off the printedform at the last perforation,leavingnot more than abouthalf a page showingabovethe top cover.
ADJUSTING THE PRINTING GAP The distance between the print head and the platen can be adjusted to accommodatedifferentpaperthicknesses.To makethisadjustment,remove the top cover.The adjustmentleveris locatednearthe left sideof the paper bail. Fullingthe adjustmentlever towardsyou widensthe gap; pushingit away from you narrowsthe gap. There are five positions, and you can feel the lever clicking into each position.The secondpositionfromthe top is the onemost commonlyused for single sheets of paper.

chapter 3 DIP SWITCH SETTINGS The bank of DIP (DualIn-linePackage)switchesinsidethe printeris used for variousfunctions. This chapterexplainswhere the DIP switchesare located,and how to use them. LOCATION OF THE DIP SWITCHES Whenyou removethe printer’scover and look inside,you will see on the greenboard at thebottomof the printertwogroupsof smallwhiteswitches markedDSW1andDSW2.Thesearetheprinter’sDIPswitches.DSW1has eightswitches,named 1-1to 1-8fromleftto right.DSW2hasfourswitches named 2-1 to 2-4.
FUNCTIONS OF THE DIP SWITCHES The printeris factory-setwith all DIP switchin the ONposition.These are thestandardsettings.By changingthe settings,youcan altervariousprinter fimctionsto match your requirements.The followingquestionswill help you choosethe proper settings.
Switch 1-3: Do you want an automaticline feed? If you leave this switch at the ON position, a separate line-feed code is required from your computer to obtain a line feed. If you move this switch to the OFF position,the printer performsboth a carriagereturn and line feed each time it receivesa carriage-returncode. Most computer systems send a line feed code, or both a carriage return and line feed, at the end of each line, so this switch should be left ON.
Switch 2-1: The actionof this switch dependson the mode chosen with switch 1-1. If you selected standard mode, do you want italics or graphics characters? Setthis switchOFFto printitalicsin the standardcharacterset. If youleave this switch in the ON position,in place of italicsyou will get the graphic characte~, internationalcharacters, and mathematicalsymbols of IBM characterset #2. See Chapter9, charactercodes 128to 254.
chapter 4 PRINTER CONTROL COMMANDS The printer has two emulationmodes:Standardmode and IBM mode. IiIstandardmode,the printeremulatesthe functionsof the EpsonLX-850. In IBM mode, the printer emulates the IBM Propnnter III. Additional commandcodes are includedas a supersetof these emulations. Theemulationis changedbymeansof DIPswitch1-1.WhenON,theprinter will be in standard mode, and when OFF, the printer will be in IBM emulationmode (see Chapter3).

chapter 5 DOWNLOAD CHARACTERS Withthisprinteryoucancreatenewcharactersandsymbols,downloadtheir dotdata,andhavethemprintedin placeof selectedcharactersin the regular characterset.Charactersthatcanbegeneratedin thiswayrangefromsimple but useful symbols like the check mark through complex Chinese or Japanesecharacters. Regular characters are permanently stored in the printer’s ROM, but charactersyou design are downloadedand storedin RAM for use.
I ● The minimumwidthof a characteris five dots. ● The user-definedcharactersmay use eightdots vertically. w ● Dots cannotoverlap— that is, youmay not have a dot insidea box next to one that is on a line. You may defineany positionin the ASCIItable. PhotocopythegridinFigure5-2tohelpdesignyournewcharacters.Wewill use a tiny-rep=sentationof a car-shapedsymbolfor our example.

Addthe values of the dote in each column and write the sum of each column at the bottom Next you must choose whetherto make the car symbolan ascenderor a descender.This determineshow the characteris seatedon the line: Ascender: Cl:;::: Descender: ~.
Assigningthe characterdata Now,we calculatetheverticalnumericalvaluesof thecolumnsof dots,and enterthemunderneaththe grid.For example,lookingat Figure5-3, we see thatintheleft-mostcolumntherearefivedots,andtheyaresittinginthe“64” box,“32’’box,“16”twx,“8”box,and“4”box.Thusitsverticalvalueis 124. In the next column,there is no dot straddlingthe verticalline; its value is nxorded as O. You will see the lettersml, nd, m3,etc., are aboveyourvalues.

I DEFINING YOUR OWN NLQ CHARACTERS As you probablynoticed,NLQ charactersare printedby two passesof the printhead.Halfofthecharacters printedonthefirstpass,andtheremainder onthesecondpass.Thepaperisrolledup halfa dotheightinbetweenpasses to let the printhead print dotson the secondpass that overlapthe previous dots,b onler to fill in the spacesand producedenserchamctem.Additionally,the print head speed is halved,and the dots are printed at doublethe densityof draft characters.

chapter 6 MS-DOS AND YOUR PRINTER WhenusingyourprinterwithanIBMPC, PC-XT,orPC-ATor compatible, youwillprobablybe usingPC-DOSor MS-DOSas anoperatingsystem.A numberof softwaretricksmaybe usefulhere.This chapteris not,however, a substitutefor the operatingsystemmanualssuppliedwith yourcomputer. To learn how to print files, etc. it is best to read the relevantparts of these manuals.

Printout: PRINTER COMMANDS When youuse these commandsthere are severalpointsto note: ● ● ● The font ((F)) commandis ignored if the FONT button was held down when power was switchedon. A line consistingof commandsaloneprints as a blankline.
PROGRAMMING THE PRINTER WITH DOS COMMANDS If your system includesthe file PRINT.COMyou can use the main DOS printingcommand.Simplytypethe wordPRINT followedby the name of the file you want to print. To print a fde named README.DOC,for example,type: A >PRINT README .DOC The computer may respond with the following message, asking which printerto use: Name of 1ist device [PRN] : If yourcomputeris connectedto onlyoneprinter,pressRETURNto select the default choice (HUN).
I youprintfromtheDOScommandlevelveryoften,itwillbe advantageous to createa printersetupfde. Theninsteadof settingfontetc.manuallyeach time, you can compIete the setup with a single command from your computer.For example,you can createa file containingprintercommands to selectnear letter quality,and selectelite pitch with the Standardmode. You can find the commandsin Chapter4.
You can now set up the printerby sendingit the file NLQELITE.DAT.To avoidumecessary loggingof commands,switchhard-copyoutputoff (by pressingClllL-PRTSC ifhardcopyis on).ToprintthefileREADME.DOC in NLQ elite type, give the followingtwo commands: A?COPY NLC?ELITE.

c 7 TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE The followingsectionon troubleshootingandmaintenanceis intendedonly as a brief guide. Remember that your printer is a highly sophisticated electronicdevice,whichalso containshigh voltageinside.For that reason, only carry out thoseoperationsthat ate describedin this chapter. CAUTION: Anyattemptto carryoutoperationsotherthanthosedescribed heremayresultin electricshockand/ordamageto theprinter.
P s If the POWER indicatordoes not illuminate,checkthe following: Check 1Is the power cable properly 1plugged into the eledrical (outlet?. 1Is power being supplied to 1the outlet? 1 theprintervoltage correct? Is Possible remedy Turn off the printer, make certain that the power cable is securely connected, and then tumtheprinterback on. Turn off the printer and unplug it- TV out another appliance of theoutletto determineifelectricity is being supplied to that outlet.
If the print is faint,or uneven,checkthe following: Check Is the ribbon properly installed? Is the ribbon worn out? Possible remedy Check and reinstall ifnecessaxy. The ribbon has a long tife, but will eventually need replacing. Fit a new ribbon cartridge if necessary. If dots are missingin the printing,checkthe following: I Check Are dots missing at random in the printing? I Possible remedv The ribbon has become slack causing it to get caught up.
P f If cut sheet paper (withoutthe ASF) is not feeding smoothly,check the following: Check Is the papa release leva pushedback(toti ~ position)? Is the paper guide in plwe and Veltical? Are the left and right guidea too close together? Possible remedy Set the release lever to the * position. The paper guide should be in place vertically for cut sheets to feed smoothly. If the left and right guides are too close together, the p~willnot feed smoothly.
I Check Are you trying tofeed paper using the front panel buttons while the ON LINE indicator is illuminated? I the paper toothick? r I Possible remedy You can only feed paper in this way when the printer is off-line. Set the printer off-line and then feed paper. There are limits to the thickness of paper that can be fed in this way (one top copy and two NCR copies). Try using thinner paper.
If the paperpark facilitydoesnot appearto be workingcorrectly,checkthe following: Check Isthepaper release lever in Possible remedy Thepaper release lever mustbeset to the ~ position the ~ position? Has the fanfold paper been properly parked? after the fanfold paper has been parked. Make sure that the indicator comes on flashing after the fanfold paper has been parked.
I MAINTENANCE Essentially,your printer is a robust piece of equipment, but shouId be treatedwitha modicumofcarein orderto avoidmalfunctions.Forexample: . Keepyourprinterin a “comfortable”environment.Roughlyspeaking,if you arecomfortable,thenthe environmentis suitablefor yourprinter,too (see Chapter1). . Do not subjectthe printerto physicalshocksor excessivevibration. . Avoidextremelydustyenvironments.Dust is the enemyof all precision mechanicaldevices. .

c 9 CHARACTER SETS The followingtables showthe standardand IBM charactersets. The decimalcharactercode of each characteris shown in an inset to the lower right of the character. Thehexadecimalcodecanbe foundby readingthe entriesat thetop andleft edgesof the table. For example,the character“A” is in column4 and row 1, so its hexadecimalcharactercodeis 41. This is equivalent(4x 16+ 1 = 65) to decimal65, the numberin the inset.
