Problem:
My word processor files don't print the way I have the menu and
front panel set
.
Solution:
Before sending a file to the printer, many word processors send
either an initialization string or an I-Prime signal to the printer.
The initialization string contains commands that change the printer to a default
set of features. These commands override panel or menu settings. To set your
printer to ignore the reset command, enter the printer menu and change the Reset
Inhibit item in the General Control group to Yes. Please note that while this stops
the reset command from resetting your printer, other commands in the initialization
string may still override the printer menu and/or front panel settings.
The I-Prime signal is sent over the parallel interface (pin 31) and automatically
overrides any settings you have made using the front panel.
Problem:
The menu and print feature buttons on the front panel won't work.
Solution:
The Operator Panel Function item on the printer menu can be used to
disable these buttons. If the printer is part of a customized system or if it is used
by a number of people, the system manager may have used this option to make
sure the printer is always set properly.
Problem:
Static electricity causes my continuous-form paper to stick.
Solution:
Sometimes static charges can build up on continuous-form paper, making it
cling to the paper separator. If you have this problem during high-volume printing jobs,
try moving the paper guides together so that the paper rests on the guides rather than
on the separator itself.
