(See to it that the desk surface is horizontal and smooth and that the rubber protectors on the bottom of the desk legs are level.) b) Set the printing paper on the floor below the printer so that it may be fed into the printer without skewing from the feeding path by more than 2 inches (5 cm). 2 inches (5 cm) or less I ( 2-5 c) Align the rear section of the printer with the rear edge of the desk. Keep a distance of 24 inches (60 cm) or more between the rear section of the printer unit and the wall to provide a space for printed paper being fed out. d) Keep a distance of 4 to 6 inches (IO to 15 cm) or more between the unprinted paper fed into the printer and the printed paper fed out of the printer. If the paper going in one direction interferes with the paper going the other way, they may jam inside the printer. 24 inches (60 cm) or more Wall Floor & 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) 2-6 2.2.2 Removing the shipping retainer Remove the shipping retainer that secures the printhead. -_ Printhead Note: Be sure to replace the shipping retainer whenever you ship your printer.

(2) Confirm that the POWER LED is on and that the printhead returns to its home (left most) position. (3) If the printer unit shows no abnormality after it is powered on, proceed to the next step (4) for test printing. 2-9 (4) Test orinting 4 Aker coifirming that the POWER switch is off,turn it on while pressing the FORM FEED switch. b) Confirm that the printer unit prints out the test pattern as shown in the figure below. cl Press the SELECT switch to end the printing test. 4 Confirm that the SELECT lamp is on, indicating that the printer unit is ready to receive printing data from the host computer. 1”#$5&‘()*+,-. /0123456789~;<->?@ABC----C'()*+,-./0123456789~t<->?@ABCDEFGH '()a+,-. /0123456789r;<=>?@A8CDEFGHI I"#$%&'()'+,-./0123456789:;<->?@ABCD "#St&'()*+,-. /0123456789:;<->?@ABCDE o*+,-. /01234567891;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJ )*+,-. /01234567891;<->?@ABCDEtFGHIJK #$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<-s?@ABCDEF *+,-. /01234567891;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKL StC'()*+,-. /0123456789r;<->?@ABCDEFG +,-. /01234567891;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLH t&'()*+,-. /0123456789:;<->?@ABCDEFGH ,-e/0123456789:;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLtJN &'()*+,-. /0123456789r;<->?@ABCDEFGHI -./0123456789:;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLHNO '()*+,-. /01234567891;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJ . /01234567898;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLHNOP o*+r-. /0123456789r;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJK /0123456789:;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLHNOPQ ) l +,-. /0123456789:;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKL 0123456709:;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLHNOPQR l +,-. /0123456789r;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLH 1234567891;<->?@ABCdEFGHIJKLHNOPQRS +,-./01234567891;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLttN 234567891j<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST ,-./0123456789:;~=>7@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO 34567891;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLttNOPQRSTU -./0123456789:;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP 456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV . /0123456789:;~=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLtiNOPQ 56789r;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLtiNOPQRSTUVW /0123456789~;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLHNOPQR 67891;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLttNOPQRSTUVWX 0123456789~,<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLtiNOPQRS 789t;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLttNOPQRSTUVWXY 123456789:;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST 89rt<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLtdNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 23456789;;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLttNOPQRSTU 3456789:;<->?@ABCDEFGtiIJKLt4NOPQRSTUV ----YI;<->?@ABCDEFGHIJKLHNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[ 1 I I 2-10 2.3 MENU SELECTION 2.3.1 OVERVIEW: Access “global” type printer features/functions as directly as possible. Features selected in MENU mode become the default features for the printer each time it is powered on. The Menu function allows the ability to activate features without the use of software commands. Software commands will override MENU settings. 2.3.2 KEY FUNCTIONS: Key Name Function GROUP General categorization of functions/features. Selects next GROUP title, once through the entire list, loops back to the first GROUP. ITEM Direct name of functions/features. Selects next ITEM title, once through the entire list, loops back to the first ITEM in the current GROUP. SET Value (setting) of the ITEM. Selects next SETTING value, once through the entire list, loops back to the beginning of the list. PRINT Prints entire MENU and returns to top of MENU list. EXIT Saves any changed settings and leaves the MENU. 2-11 2.3.3 OPERATION 1. To enter Menu mode depress PQ and CPI switch. a. Printer = deselected state. SEL LED = off b. Press GROUP switch to print first MENU item. 2. Upon entering Menu mode, the first GROUP - ITEM - SET is printed. 3. See Key functions above for description of operation. 4. To exit MENU mode depress the EXIT switch. 5. If conflicting functions are set in menu mode, the printer will treat these function according to the priority table. 6. The TOF position is not affected by MENU mode. 7. Depressing TOF/SEL switches simultaneously on power up will reset the menu back to its factory settings. (see FACTORY SETTINGS for further details.) Note: When entering/exiting Menu mode, the user is not prompted. 2-12 2.3.4 TABLE OF MENU SELECTIONS NOTE: Factory settings are bold printed.
