NOTE: This button has no effect if the bottom feed mode is selected.

This button results in different functions depending on the position of the release lever. If the release lever is facing toward the rear of the printer for the cut forms ( ~ ), pressing this button ejects the paper. If the release lever is facing toward the front of the printer for the fanfold forms ( ~ ), pressing this button parks the forms. PITCH This button allows you to selectthe printingpitch. Remember that theprinter must be off-line for you to do this. Successive presses of this button will display (and select) the following options in order (Note that the super- coridensedpitch is not available with Standard/Epson mode, and condensed proportional pitch is not available with IBM mode): I Pitch I LCD Message Pica (10 CPI) II-1 Iu Elite (12 CPI) /r’ Semi-condensed (15 CPI) ;5 Condensed pica (17 CPI) ‘“ Condensed elite (20 CPI) ;; Super-condensed (24 CPI) :“+ Proportional I-/l: 1-J Condensed proportional Pc 33

Long test mode

If the printer is turned on while the I PAPER FEED ] button is pressed, the printer will enter the long self-test mode, with the “P2” message on the LCD display. The printer will print the version number of the printer’s ROM, the current Electronic DIP Switch (EDS) settings and the current Dot Adjust- ment setting, followed by the entire character set printed in each font and pitch available.

Longself-test Since the self-test prints across the full width of the carriage, it is recom- mended that the printer is loaded with the widest paper possible to avoid damage to the print head and/or platen. In addition, the total number of lines printed is considerable, more than can be accommodated on a single sheet, so fanfold paper is recommended for this test. 36

Print area test mode

By holding the [ EJECT/PARK]buttondown during power-up, theprinterwill enter the print area test mode. You can find how many lines on your paper are availableforprinting with l/6-inch linefeeding.The printer will showthe “P3” message on the LCD display and print the first line message on the paper, then print the last linemessage after feeding to the bottom of the page. If you have loaded the fanfold paper, only the first line message is printed. Pitch lock mode By holding the EEE12iZbutton down during power-up, the print pitch can only be selected from the control panel. This prevents software interference. You willhear anacknowledgingbeep, andtheprinter will showthe’’P-LOCK” message on the LCD display as power comes on. After the beep tone, you can set the printer off-line, select a print pitch, then return to on-line and start printing. The pitch you selected will show on the LCD display and will not be reset or otherwise changed by any commands your software may issue. Font lock mode By holding the - button during power-up, fonts can only be selected from the control panel. This prevents software interference. There will bean acknowledgingbeep and“F-LOCK”messageontheLCD display.After which you can set the printer off-line, select a font, then return to the on-line state and begin printing. The selected font will not be changed by any commands your software may issue. Font and Pitch lock mode If you want to protect both the font and pitch settingsfrom software changes, press both the _ and - buttons during power-up. There will be two acknowledging beep tones with “P-LOCK” and “F-LOCK” messages on the LCD display. Pressing these buttons during power-up does not prevent you from making any number of changes later from the control panel. 37

Dot adjustment mode

This mode is used to adjust the vertical alignment of text and graphics on successive bi-directional passes. After a period of time, your printer may work itself out of alignment on left and right printing passes, appearing most visibly during graphics printing. This mode will probably be used very rarely. 1. 2. 3. Turn the printer off and then turn it on again while holding down the EJECT/PARK I and 1 ON LINE ] buttons. The “dA” message will show on the display, and the printer will then print something like the following: * * * DOT ADJUSTMENT SETTING * * * LQ o : ! / I I i I I I I I I I I I I i I ! I I ~I I I I I I I : I I i I I I I I I I The printer will feed the paper forwards and backwards during this operation, allowing you to view the paper for optimum alignment. To adjust the printing, use the [ EJECT/PARK]and I PAPER FEED [buttons. The I-EJECT/PARKI button will move the second pass to the left. The I PAPER FEED 1 button will move the second pass to the right. 4. When the two passes are aligned with each other to form one continuous line, the bi-directional alignment test is completed. 38

To change the mode for which the bi-directional adjustment is per-

formed, press the [ ON LINE I button. This will cycle between “LQ”, “DRAFT”, “DRAFT COND” and “BIT IMAGE”. Repeat the process for all print modes. *** Del’ADJIJSTMENT ‘jETTING X X * LQ o: I 1I I I I I ! I I I I , I I ~I I I i I I I I ! I I I i !

This feature isusefulfor programmers who are debugging printingprograms

and want to see the actual codes the printer is receiving. (Some computers change the codes the programmer intended.) In thismode, all data received will be printed in a hexadecimal dump format, rather than the control codes being acted on as command codes. This mode is accessed with the following procedure: 1. While holding both the I PAPER FEED 1and [ EJECT/pARK1buttons down, turn power ON. A beep tone will be heard and the “Hd” message on the display. 2. Begin printing. In place of the usual printout you will get a formatted dump showing exactly what data the printer receives. Each line presents sixteen characters, their hexadecimal codes to the left and printable characters printed on the right. 3. At the end of the hexadecimal dump, set the printer off-line with the ON LINE \ button. This is necessary to print the last line. 40

SWITCH COMBINATION FUNCTIONS

Several additional functions can be achieved by pressing the control panel buttons in combinations. Top of form Form feed Buffer clear/All reset Figure 4-5. Switch combination functions of control panel Form feed If you are using cut forms, this operation ejects the current page. If you are using fanfold forms, it feeds to the top of the next page. 1. 2. 3. Press the I ON LINE I button to set the printer off-line. Press the I PAPER FEED ]button and hold it down. The printer will start performing successive line feeds. While holding the [ PAPER FEED 1button down, press the I ON LINE 1 button, then release both buttons at the same time. The printer will smoothly eject the current page. Top of form When you power on the printer, the top-of-form position isautomatically set to the current position. If this is not where you want the top of the page to be, you can change the top-of-foti position as follows: 1. Press the I ON LINE ] button to set the printer off-line. 2. Move the paper to the desired top-of-form position by pressing the I PAPER FEED ] button, or by performing a forward or reverse micro-feed. 3. Press and hold the I ON LINE ] button. 4. While holding the [ ON LINE ] button down, press the EEEHl button, then release both buttons at the same time. The “-–” message will show on the LCD display, that the top-of-fonmposition has been set. 41

For fine alignment, you can feed the paper forward in very small increments

as follows: 1. Press the I ON LINE ] button to set the printer off-line. 2. press the I ON LINE I button again and hold it down. 3. While holding the I ON LINE ] button down, press the I PAPERFEEtI] button. The paper will start advancing in a series of small steps. When you want to stop, release both buttons. Reverse micro-feed You can also feed the paper in small increments in reverse, to return to a higher position on the same page. 1. 2. 3. Press the I ONLINE ] button to set the printer off-line. Press the I ON LINE ] button again and hold it down. While holding the I ON LINE \ button down, press the [ EJECT/PARK I button. The paper will start moving backwards in a series of small steps. When you want to stop, release both buttons. NOTE: Open the bail lever when the printer beeps intermittentlyand the “Er” message shows on the LCD display near the edge of the paper. Changing the auto loading position Normally, the printer automatically loads the paper one edge. line from the top If you want to change this value, follow this procedure: 1. Load the paper by moving bail lever toward the front of the printer. 2. Change the print position using the micro feed function. The value on the LCD display shows the micro-feed value from the default position. 3. After you get the desired position, press the I ON LINE Ibuttonto save the value. This position will remain unless you power off the printer. If you want to retain this positioneven after you turn off the power, store it using the Macro Definition function, which is described later. Note that you can only change this value immediately after loading paper. If you feed paper, you cannot change the auto loading value. 42

Clearing the buffer/All reset

The printer stores received data in a large memory buffer. This creates a problem when you want to abandon aprintingjob and restart: theprinter may beholding moredatainitsbufferthanithasactuallyprinted,andthisunprinted data must be cleared out before restarting. Turning power off is one way to clear the buffer, but there is another way: 1, Halttheprinting program onthecomputer. Imprintingstopsimmediately, thebuffer isclear and the rest of thisprocedure isunnecessary, Ifprinting does not stop, continue as follows: 2. Press the I ON LINE 1button to set the printer off-line. Printing will now stop, but there may be data remaining in the buffer. 3. Press and hold the 1 ON LINE I button. 4. Whilepressingthe I ON LINE Ibuttondown,pressandholdthe - button. Continue holding these two buttons down, you will hear a beep tone and the “bC>’message appears on the LCD display. If you hold these buttons down longer, you will hear three beep tones and the printer has been initialized to the power-on default settings. 5. Release these buttons, make any necessary control panel settings, then set the printer back on-line. It isessential to stopthe printingprogram on the computer before you go off- line. Otherwise, when you go back on-line the computer will start sending data again and the printer will continue printing, with missing data from when,the buffer was cleared. Save Macro Definition Youcan savethecurrent settingstotheprinter forlater usewith thefollowing procedure: 1. Press the I ONLINE I button to set the printer off-line. 2. Press the - button and hold it down. 3. While holding the - button down, press the CElEi31button and hold them down untilthe“MACRO” message appearson theLCD display. 4. Release both buttons at the same time after this message appears on the LCD display to save the current setting. If you release these buttons after the “MACRO” message has gone out on the display, the macro has been cleared. 43

NOTE: You can store the following settings with this procedure.

G Current Font G Current Pitch G Current auto-loading amount for cut forms s Current auto-loading amount for fanfold forms G Current auto-loading amount in ASF mode Data to be stored are controlled in Standard mode and IBM mode separately. For example, the data stored in the Standard mode are not effective in the IBM mode, and vice versa. 44

DEFAULT SETTINGS=EDS MODE

From the control panel you can change the parameters that define how your printer works. These parameters become your power-on settings.This func- tion is called the Electronic DIP Switch (EDS) mode. HOW TO SET THE EDS MODE The EDS mode in this printer has 16functions that you can set as the power- on default. Turn the printer on while simultaneously holding the -, -, and EJECT/PARK ] buttons. The “EDS” message will show on the LCD display. This indicates that you have entered the EDS mode. In EDS mode, the buttons on the control panel are used as shown below in Figure 5-1. Select Select Change Print Exit Bank Switch setting Figure 5-1. Buttonfunctionsin the EDS mode. G Use the - button to select the Bank Letter. G Use the - button to select the Switch Number.

OF THE EDS SETTINGS

The printer stores the parameters that you can select from the control panel while in the EDS mode. A defaultis the settingthat the printer will use if none is specifically selected by a program. When you first turn on or later reset your printer these default settings will take effect. By changing the settings, you can alter various printer functions to match your specific requirements. The following will help you choose the proper settings. BanI-Switch Function ON OFF A-1 Emulation STANDARD/EPSON IBM A-2 AEC Mode Enabled Disabled A-3 RAM Usage Input Buffer Download Buffer A-4 Auto LF with CR Disabled Enabled A-5 Auto Sheet Feeder Not installed Iristalled A-6 Graphics Direction Bi-directional Uni-directional B-1 - (Not used) B-2 Paper-out Enabled ] Disabled B-3 (Not used) B-4 (Reserved) Leave ON B-5 Printable Area Type A I Type B B-6 (Not used) c-1 Print Mode c-2 (See below) c-3 c-4 Page Length (See below) c-5 D-1 Character Table (Standard mode) Graphics Italics (IBM mode) Set #2 [ Set #l D-2 IBM Code page or D-3 International (See below) D-4 Character Set D-5 CR Centering Disabled Enabled E-1 E-2 E-3 LQ Font Selection (See below) E-4 E-5 F-1 EDS Setting Current Reset NOTE: The factory default is the “ON” position for all functions except A-6 which is set to the “OFF” position. 50

Switch A-1: Emulation

Select the mode compatible with your computer and software. In the Standard/Epson mode,theprinteroperates liketheEpson LQ-860/850. In the IBM mode, it operates like the IBM Proprinter X24E/24P, Ps/1 . The ON position selects Standard/Epson mode. The OFF position selects IBM mode. Switch A-2: Auto Emulation Change (AEC) Mode This switch selects the Auto Emulation Change (AEC) mode. When the AEC mode is enabled, the printer automatically judges the Emulation which your application program uses. Switch A-3: RAM Usage Inordertodownloadcharacters this switchmustbe intheOFF position. The printer then uses its RAM memory for storing character patterns and provides only a one-line print buffer. If you leave this switch ON, the printer uses its RAM memory as an input buffer, allowing the computer to send data faster than the printer prints. Switch A-4: Auto LF with CR 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 performs both a carriage return and line feed each time it receives a carriage-return code. 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. If you get double line spacing when you expect single spacing, or if lines overprint each other, try changing the setting of this switch. Switch A-5: Auto Sheet Feeder In order to use the optional automatic sheet feeder (SF-1ODS),move this switch to the OFF position. Otherwise leave it ON. Switch A-6: Graphics Direction When printing in graphics mode, the printer may either print bi- directionally (in alternate directions) for speed or in one direction only (uni-directional for increased accuracy). For practically all purposes, however, bi-directional printing is sufficiently accurate. 51

Switch B-2: Paper-out

When this switch is OFF the printer ignores the paper-out detector and prints down to (and beyond) the bottom edge. Switch B-4: This switch is used for technical purpose only. Leave this switch ON. Switch B-5: Printable area This printer can use two types of printing area format for single sheets (cut forms). Byputting the switch ON (’

Switches C-3 to C-5: Page Length

Leave these switches ON if you will be using 1l-inch forms. You will need to change the switches if you will be using a different page length as shown below: Page Length c-3 c-4 c-5 11 inches/Letter ON ON ON 8 inches OFF ON ON 11.7 inches/A4 ON OFF ON 12 inches OFF OFF ON 8.5 inches/Letter ON ON OFF 14 inches/Legal OFF ON OFF 10.5 inches/Executive ON OFF OFF I 7.25 inchesiExecutivel OFF I OFF I OFF I Switch D-1: Character Table The action of this switch depends on the mode chosen with switch A- 1. Move this switch OFF to selectItalic character table with the Standard/ Epson emulation mode. If you leave this switch to the ON position, in place of italics you will get the graphic characters, international char- acters, and mathematical symbols of IBM character set #2. In the IBM emulation mode, ON selects character set #2, which has international characters and fewer control words. OFF selects character set #1, for computers with a 7-bit interface. Switches D-2 to D-4: IBM Code Page or International Character Set Except in the Standard Italic character set, these switches select the default character code page as shown below: IBM Code Page D-2 D-3 D-4 IBMCodePage D-2 D-3 D-4 #437U.S.A. ON ON ON K363Canadian FrenchON ON OFF #850Multi-lingualOFF ON ON #865Nordic OFF ON OFF #860Portuguese ON OFF ON (Reserved) ON OFF OFF #861Icelandic OFF OFF ON (Reserved) OFF OFF OFF

International character sets differ in their assignment of 12 character

codes in the Standard Italic character set. See the character tables in Chapter 11.With these switches you can select one of eight character sets as follows: Country D-2 D-3 D-4 Country D-2 D-3 D-4 U.S.A. ON ON ON Denmark I ON ON OFF France OFF ON ON Sweden OFF ON OFF Germany ON OFF ON Italy ON OFF OFF En.zland OFF OFF ON Spain I OFF OFF OFF Switch D-5: CR Centering If you set this switch OFF, the carriage moves to the center each time to feed paper near the perforation. This way, you can get better quality of printing around the preformations.It is recommended to match the page length setting to your fanfold paper, otherwise, this function does not work properly at the perforations. If you leave this switch ON, the carriage does not move when feeding paper.

Essentially,your printer isa robustpiece of equipment, but should be treated

with a modicum of care in order to avoid malfunctions. For example: G Keep your printer in a “comfortable” environment. Roughly speaking, if you are comfortable, then the environment is suitable for your printer (see Chap[er 2). G Do not subject the printer to physical shocks or excessive vibration. G Avoid over-dusty environments. Dust is the enemy of all precision mechanical devices. G To clean theexterior oftheprinter, useacloth barely dampened with either water with a little detergent or a little alcohol, but do not allow any liquid to fall inside the printer. G The interior of the printer may be cleaned with a small vacuum cleaner or a compi-essed-airaerosol (sold for this purpose). When performing this operation, be sure not to bend or damage any cable connections or electronic components. 64

You can select the following accessories as option.

G Automatic sheet feeder (SF-1ODS) G Pull tractor unit (PT-1OZS) G Font cartridges (FC series) G RAM cartridge (RC-32Z, DC-32Z) G Serial-Parallel Converter (SPC-8K) This chapter describes how to install and use these optional accessories. NOTE: When you install or remove the optional accessories, turn off the power switch. AUTOMATIC SHEET FEEDER (SF-1ODS) You can use the Automatic Sheet Feeder (ASF) to print on cut-sheet forms. Before installing the ASF, check each item in the box against Figure 7-1 to make sure that you have everything.

PRINTER CONTROL COMMANDS

The printer hastwo emulation modes: Standard/Epson modeand IBM mode. In Standard/Epson mode, theprinteremulates thefunctionsoftheEpson LQ- 860/850. In IBM mode, the printer emulates the IBM Proprinter X24E/24P and P!Y1printer. Additional command codes are included as a superset of these emulations. The emulation is changed by means of EDS switch A-1. When it is ON, the printer will be in Standard/Epson mode, and when OFF, the printer will be in IBM mode (see Chapter 5). In addition, when the EDS switch A-2 is ON, the printer automatically changes the emulation by means of software control. This chapter describes the printer’s control commands. Some commands are common to both the standard and IBM modes. In the descriptions of the commands, all commands will given by functions.
