Installation/Support Tips
Software
The type of printer installed on your system must be
identified for each software package. This is usually done
through a setup menu.
If this printer is not listed in your
program, look in the printer User’s Manual for the next-best
model selection.
DIP Switch Settings
The default settings will usually work for most applications,
but they should be checked before using the printer This
will avoid unexpected results.
Serial Operation
The FX-850/1050 will be able to receive serial data with the
addition of an Epson 81XX series interface option.
Cut - Sheet Feeder Operation
The page length will have to be adjusted (shortened) to 61
lines per page if your software does not properly support
cut -sheet paper. There will be lines from the first page
printed at the top of the second page if the page length is
not set correctly.
Disabling the Buffer
An undocumented feature of the FX-850/1050 is the ability
to disable the buffer from the SelecType panel. To toggle
the buffer hold down the Load/Eject switch at power on.
Two beeps indicate that the 8K buffer is enabled, and one
beep indicates that the buffer is disabled. (Some spooler
applications won’t work correctly unless the buffer is
disabled.)
