chapter 7 PRINTERCONTROLCOMMANDS The printerhas two emulationmodes:Standardmodeand IBMmode. In staridardmode,the printeremulatesthe functionsof the EpsonEX-800/ EX-1OOO.In IBM mode, the printer emulates the IBM Propnnter III. Additionalcommandcodesare includedas a supwsetof theseemulations. The emulationis changedby means of Memory Switchmode. When the Emulationoptionis setto [STANDARD],theprinterwillbein standardmode, and when [IBM], the printerwill be in IBM mode (see Chapter6).

I chapter 10 TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE The followingsectionon troubleshootingandmaintenanceis intendedonly as a brief guide. Remember that your printer is a highly sophisticatedelectronicdevice, whichalsocontainshighvoltageinside.Forthat twson, onlycarryoutthose operationsdescribedin this chapter. CAUTION: Anyattempttocarryoutoperationsotherthanthosedescribed heremay nxtlt in electricshockand/ordamageto theprinter. Whencarryingoutanyrepairsor maintenance,alwaysfollow the instructionscmfully.
Powersupply If the POWER indicatordoes not illuminate,checkthe following: Check Possible remedy Is the powez cable properly plugged into tie electrical outlet? Is power being supplied to the outlet? Turnoff the @nter, ensurethe powercable ia securely connec~ andthen turnthe printerbackort- Istheprintervoltagecorrect? Turn off the printer, unplug it. Try the outlet with anotherapplianceto determine if electricity is being suDDliedfmm thatoutlet.
If the printis faint,or uneve~ checkthe following: Check Is the ribbon properly installed? Is the ribbonwornout? Possible remedy Check andreinstallif necessary. The ribbon has a long life, but will eventually need replacing.Fit anew ribboncartridgeif necessary. If dots are missingin the printing,checkthe following: Check Are dots missing at random in the printing? Is a line of dots missing cOnsistently throughout the -g? Possible remedy The ribbonhas bmnne slack causing it to get caught up.
Paper feeding If cut sheet paper (without ASF) is not feeding smoothly, check the following: Check Is the paper release lever pushedfront(to the ~ posi- Possible remedy Set the release lever to the ~ position.
Check Is the paper feeding freely into the printer? Is thepapercaughtup wound the perforation? Are you trying to feed paper using the fiontpanel buttons while the ON LINEindicator illuminated? Is the paper too thick? Possible remedy The paper should not be too fw from the printer (less than 1 meter/3 feet), and there should be no cables or other obstacles obstructing its path. The paper should also be feeding straight into the printer, and an angled feed may cause jams and blockages.
I If the paperpatk facilitydoesnot appearto be workingCQrmctly, checkthe following: Check Is the paperrelease lever in the ~ position? Has the fanfold paper been PP=lY P~~? Possible remedy The paperrelease lever must be set to the ~ position aftezthe fanfoldpaperhas been parked. Make surethatthe PAPER indicatorcomes on afterthe fanfoldpaperhas been pinked.
MAINTENANCE ‘ Essentially,yourpcinterisa robustpieceof e@pmen6 butshouldbetreated with a modicumof cam in otder to avoidmalfunctions.For example: ● ● ● ● ● Keep yourprinterin a “comfortable”environment.Roughlyspeaking,if youm comfortable,thentheenvironmentis suitableforyourprinter(see Chapter2). Do not subjectthe printerto physicalshocksor excessivevibration. Avoid over-dusty environments.Dust is the enemy of all p~cision mechanicaldevices.
7. Fastenthe printhead downwith the two smws. 8. Replaeethe ribbon cartridgeand close the front cover, then plug the powercord back in. Screws T’7 Figure10-1.Replacing theprinthead.
