Save all p acking and p rotective m aterials in case you need to ship
the p rinter in the fu tu re. It shou ld alw ays be transp orted in its
original p ackaging or equ ivalent m aterials.
c
Caut ion:
❏ Be sure to remove all protective materials before you turn
on the printer.
❏
There are several models of the printer designed for
different voltages, and it is not possible to adjust the
printer for use at another voltage. If the label on the back
of the printer does not show the correct voltage for your
country, contact your dealer.
Choosing a Place for the Printer
Follow the gu id elines below w hen selecting a location for you r
p rinter.
❏
Place the p rinter on a flat, stable su rface. The p rinter w ill not
op erate p rop erly if it is tilted or at an angle.
❏
Place the p rinter w here you can easily connect it to a netw ork
interface cable, if necessary.
❏
Leave ad equ ate room arou nd the p rinter for easy op eration
and m aintenance.
❏
Avoid u sing or storing the p rinter in p laces su bject to rap id
changes in tem p eratu re and hu m id ity. Also keep it aw ay from
d irect su nlight, strong light, heat sou rces, or excessive
m oistu re or d u st.
❏
Avoid p laces su bject to shocks and vibrations.
❏
Place the p rinter near a w all ou tlet w here you easily u np lu g

Not e for French-speaking users:
Placez l’im p rim ante p rès d ’u ne p rise d e contact où la fiche
p eu t être d ébranchée facilem ent.
❏
Avoid electrical ou tlets controlled by w all sw itches or
au tom atic tim ers. An interru p tion in p ow er can erase
inform ation in the m em ory of you r p rinter or com p u ter.
Also avoid ou tlets on the sam e circu it as large m otors or
other ap p liances that can cau se voltage flu ctu ations.
❏
Keep the entire com p u ter system aw ay from p otential sou rces
of electrom agnetic interference, su ch as lou d sp eakers or the
base u nits of cord less telep hones.
❏
Use a grou nd ed p ow er ou tlet; d o not u se an ad ap ter p lu g.
❏
Make su re the p ap er p ath is clear and u nobstru cted before you
p rint on continu ou s p ap er. See Chap ter 3 for d etails.
If you p lan to u se a p rinter stand , follow these gu id elines:
1-4
❏
Use a stand that su p p orts at least 18 kg (39.6 lb).
❏
N ever u se a stand that tilts the p rinter. The p rinter shou ld
alw ays be kep t level.
❏
Position you r p rinter’s p ow er cord and interface cable so they
d o not interfere w ith p ap er feed ing. If p ossible, secu re the
cables to a leg of the p rinter stand .

Caut ion:
Use the knob on the right side of the printer only to clear paper

Caut ion:
❏ W hen printing on multi-part forms, make sure that
your software settings keep the printing entirely
within the printable area of the forms. Printing on the
edge of a multi-part form can damage the print head.
For information about the printable area, see the paper
specifications in A ppendix A .
❏
Load single-sheet multi-part forms glued at the side of the
form only from the paper guide, not from the optional
cut-sheet feeder.
Using Labels
When selecting labels for p rinting, alw ays choose labels m ou nted
on continu ou s backing sheets w ith sp rocket holes for u se w ith a
tractor. Do not u se labels on shiny single-sheet backing, becau se
the backing sheet tend s to slip and m ay not feed p rop erly.
You load labels in the sam e w ay as you load continu ou s p ap er,

Because labels are especially sensitive to temperature

Do not leave labels loaded in the printer between print

To remove labels from the paper path after you finish

Insta lling the cut-sheet feeder
The cu t-sheet feed er com es w ith a sheet gu id e for stacking p rinted

cu t-sheet feed er and the sheet gu id e. Follow the step s below .
Not e:
Y ou install both the high capacity cut-sheet feeder and the double-bin
cut-sheet feeder the same way, as described below. Before you install the
double-bin cut-sheet feeder, however, assemble it as described in the
cut-sheet feeder manual.

Not e:
Y ou do not need to remove your continuous paper from the tractor
to use the cut-sheet feeder. For information on switching between
the cut-sheet feeder and continuous paper, see page 5-13.

Error ha ndling
When the p rinter d etects a p arity error, it p rints an asterik (✽).
The p rinter ignores all other errors, inclu d ing fram ing and overru n

Printing a Self Test
Running the p rinter’s self test help s you d eterm ine w hether
the problem com es from the p rinter or the com pu ter:
❑
If the self test results are satisfactory, the p rinter is w orking
p roperly and the problem is probably cau sed by you r
p rinter d river settings, app lication settings, com p uter, or
interface cable. (Be su re to use a shield ed interface cable.)
❑
If the self test d oes not print prop erly, there is a problem
w ith the printer. See “Problem s and Solu tions” for p ossible
cau ses and solutions to the p roblem .
You can run the self test w ith either single sheets or continuous
paper. This section d escribes how to ru n the test w ith
single-sheet paper. See Chapter 3 for inform ation on load ing
and using continu ou s p ap er.
To p erform a self test, follow these steps:
1. Make sure paper is load ed in the paper gu id e or on the
tractor, and the p ap er release lever is set to the correct
position for you r paper. Then tu rn off the p rinter.
c
Caut ion:
W henever you turn off the printer, wait at least five
seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may
damage the printer.
2. To ru n the test using the Draft font, hold d ow n the LF/ FF
button w hile you press the Op era te bu tton to tu rn on the
printer. To ru n the test using the p rinter’s letter-qu ality
fonts, hold d ow n the Loa d / Ejec t button w hile you tu rn on
the printer. Either self test can help you d eterm ine the
sou rce of your p rinting problem ; how ever, the d raft self test
prints faster than the letter-quality test. See pages 4-5 and
4-6 for m ore inform ation on u sing fonts.

Not e:
To temporarily stop the self test, press the Pa use button. To
resume the test, press the Pa use button again.
3. To end the self test, p ress the Pa use button to stop p rinting.
If paper rem ains in the p rinter, press the Loa d / Ejec t
bu tton to eject the p rinted p age. Then tu rn off the p rinter.
c
Caut ion:
Do not turn off the printer while it is printing. A lways press
the Pa use button to stop printing, and the Loa d / Ejec t
button to eject the printed page before you turn off the printer.
Using Hex Dump Mode
If you are an experienced user or a p rogram m er, you can p rint
a hexad ecim al d um p to isolate com m u nication p roblem s
betw een the printer and your softw are program . In hex d um p
m od e, the printer prints all d ata it receives from the com pu ter
as hexad ecim al valu es.
To print a hex d um p , follow the steps below .
1. Make su re that A4 (210 × 297 m m , 8.3 × 11.7 inches) or
w id er p ap er (su ch as letter size paper) is load ed in the
p rinter.
2. To enter hex d u m p m od e, hold d ow n both the LF/ FF and
