MEMO 72 chapter 5 DIP SWITCHES The bank of DIP switches inside the printer (see illustration below) is used for various functions. All switches are set ON when the printer leaves the factory. DIP switch cover / .= / ,/ . Access the switches by removing the top cover, and then sliding the black switch cover to the left and then pulling up, using the tab at the right, as shown in the illustration above. Switches 1 and 2 are used to determine the emulation mode (standard or IBM) of the printer, and also to determine the character set to be used. chapter 6 TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE The following section on troubleshooting and maintenance is intended only as a brief guide to these functions. Remember that your printer is a highly sophisticated electronic device, which also contains high voltages inside. For that reason, only carry out those operations described in this section. CAUTION Any attempt to carry out operations other than those clescrihedhere may result in electric shock and/or damage to the printer. Power supply If the POWER indicator does not illuminate, check the following: Check Possible remedy Is the power cable properly plugged into the electrical outlet? Turn off the printer, ensure the power cable is securely connected, and then turn the printer back on. Is power being supplied the outlet? Turn off the printer, unplug it, and try with another appliance to determine if electricity is being supplied to that outlet. If the print is faint, or uneven, check the following: Possible remedy Check Is the ribbon stalled? properly Check and reinstall if necessary. in- The ribbon has a long life, but eventually will need replacing. Fit a new ribbon cartridge if necessary. Is the ribbon worn out? If dots are missing in the printing, check the following: Check Possible remedy Are dots missing at random in the printing? The ribbon has become slack, causing it to get caught up. Paper feeding If cut sheet paper (without the ASF) is not feeding smoothly, check the following: Check Possible remedy Is the paper release lever pushed back (to the c position)? Set the release lever to the f Is the paper guide in place and vertical? The paper guide should be in place vertically sheets to feed smoothly. Are the left and right guides too close together? If the left and right guides are too close together, the paper will not feed smoothly. Check Possible remedy Are you trying to feed paper using the front panel buttons while the ON LINEindicator is illuminated? You can only feed paper in this way when the printer is off-line. Set the printer off-line and then feed paper. Is the paper too thick? There are limits to the thickness of paper that can be fed in this way (one top copy and three NCR copies). Try with thinner paper. If the paper park facility does not appear to be working correctly, check the following: Check Possible remedy Is the paper release lever in the h position? The paper release lever must be set to the y position after the fanfold paper has been parked. Has the fanfold paper been properly parked? Make sure that the PAPER indicator comes on after the fanfold paper has been parked. ? EVERYDAY MAINTENANCE Essentially, your printer is a robust piece of equipment, but should be treated with a modicum of care in order to avoid malfunctions. For example: l l l l l Keep your printer in a “comfortable” environment. Roughly speaking, if you are comfortable, then the environment is suitable for your printer, too (see Chapter 1). Do not subject the printer to physical shocks or excessive vibration. Avoid over-dusty environments. Dust is the enemy of all precision mechanical devices. RIBBON REPLACEMENT The ribbons used by your printer anz endless-loop ribbons in which the ribbon is recycled. When the print quality becomes too faint, you will need to replace the ribbon. Use only ribbons recommended for use with the printer (your supplier will be able to advise you). 1 To remove the old ribbon from the printer, first turn off the power. 2 Remove the top cover, and hold the ribbon by the two lugs on each side. Push in the two lugs slightly, and pull upwards to remove the ribbon. 3 Take the new ribbon and tension it by turning the knob on the top of the ribbon cartridge clockwise. 4 Now insert the ribbon cartridge into the holder gripping it by the lugs, and turning the knob slightly clockwise if necessary. Make sure that the ribbon goes between the print head and the platen guard (see illustration below). Print head shield 5 Now replace the top cover and turn on the printer. You are now ready to start reusing the printer. REPLACING THE PRINT HEAD This is not a job which you will need to do very often. The print head has been designed to give a life of about 200 million dots. In normal everyday use, this will mean years of life. However, if the print quality is faint, even after you have changed the ribbon, the print head will need replacement. Only use a replacement print head as recommended by your supplier. NOTE This is a fairly tricky operation. Read the instructions below carefully before attempting it. TTPrint head bolts Print head . , . NOTE DO NOT apply excessive force, as this may result in damage to the print head. I 9 Fasten down the new print head using the retaining washers and screws. Do not apply excessive force when tightening the screws, as this may strip ’ the thread, but ensure that the print head is firmly secured. 10 Replace the ribbon cartridge. 11 Replace the top cover. 12 Re-insert the power cable and re-apply power. Your printer may now be used. FRONT PANEL DIAGNOSTIC AND TEST MODES The printer is equipped with a number of different modes for diagnosis and testing. These are accessed from the front panel by holding down a front panel button (or combination of buttons) while tuming on the power to the printer. The test and diagnostic modes available am listed below l A text test print mode l A short test print mode . A long test print mode . Long test mode If the printer is turned on while the :OFFER button is pressed, the printer will enter the long self-test mode. The printer will start printing as soon as the P~=R FEED button is released, and will print the version number of the printer’s ROM, eg “*** Ver 1.0 ***“, followed by the whole character set printed in each typeface and pitch available. Text test mode In this mode, the printer will print the Memory Switch menus and options. This mode is accessed by tuming on the printer at the same time as holding down the C%GE) button. The resulting printout will be similar to the example below: **= ImmY NAIW Nmu T’ suITa TREE *** PRINT mmm! 1NsIAI. Hexadecimal dump mode In this mode, all received data will be printed in a hexadecimal dump format, rather than the control codes being acted on as command codes. This mode is accessed by turning on the printer, while simultaneously holding down the ~?+Z!Z~ and 5%~5J keys. To turn off the mode, it is necessary to turn off the printer completely. Bidirectional tesVadjus tment mode This mode is used to adjust the alignment of the print head on successive bidirectional passes. After a period of some months, your printer may work itself out of alignment on left and right printing passes, showing itself most obviously in graphics printing. This mode will therefore be used very rarely. 1 Turn the printer off and then turn it on again while holding down the -=/Lx% ~ and~I~~!N~buttons. 8 Repeat the process for all print modes. *** DOT-ADJUSTMENT SETTING *** SLQ,LQ 11 GAPER FE? --c i SLQ,LQ 12 ONLINE_= - DRAFT 13 ISET/-g-F DRAFT 12 7 -iu elm:+ DRAFT COND 12 9 To exit from this mode, press the CZ!l button. MEMO 92 chapter 7 MS-DOS AND YOUR PRINTER When using your printer with an IBM PC, PC-XT or PC-AT or compatible, you will probably be using PC-DOS or MS-DOS as an operating system. A number of software tricks may be useful here. This section is not, however, a substitute for the operating system manuals supplied with your computer. To learn how to print files, etc, it is best to mad the relevant pans of these manuals. If your word-processor does not allow you to change fonts, it may allow a pause in printing. Insert a “pause” command in your text file at the point where you want to change fonts. When the document is printed, printing will then pause at that point. You can then put the printer off-line and change fonts with the front panel buttons. Then put the printer on-line again and resume printing. GRAPHICS HARD COPY On a PC-compatible computer running under MS-DOS, you can use the m and m keys on the computer together to obtain a printout of a text screen. To print out a graphics screen, you will have to run the program GRAPHICS.COM. See your MS-DOS manual for further details. Continuous echoing of text output to the screen to the printer can be toggled on and off by use of them(PrtSc)orm@ key combinations. The resulting file should be sent to the printer using the COPY command, eg: A>COPY LQ.DAT PRN prior to printing document files. Of course, this command can also be included in a batch file. PROGRAMMING USING BASIC As discussed earlier, a version of BASIC is usually supplied with PCcompatible machines. With this BASIC, characters are sent to the printer using the LPRINT command, and control codes are defined using the CHR$() function. 1310 1320 1330 LPRINT C$;"Print pitches are:" 1340 LPRINT H$;P$;"Pica pitch (10 CPI),"; 1350 LPRINT H$;E$;“M”; "Elite pitch (12 CPI)," 1360 LPRINT H$;E$;"g";"Semi-condensedpitch (15 CPI),"; 1370 LPRINT H$;P$: 'Select condensed print 1380 LPRINT CHR$(15); 1390 LPRINT "Condensedpica pitch (17 CPI)," 1400 LPRINT H$;E$;"M";"Condensed elite pitch (20 CPI),"; 'Cancel condensed print 1410 LPRINT CHR$(18) 1420 LPRINT H$;E$;"pl"; 'Select proportionalspacing 1430 LPRINT P$;"Normal proportional,"; 1440 LPRINT H$;CHR$( 1880 GOSUB 3020 'Select superscript 1890 LPRINT E$;"SO"; 'Select download character 1900 LPRINT ES:"%l"; 1910 FOR I=1 +6 5 'Print download character 1920 LPRINT CHR$(60): 1930 NEXT I 'Select normal character 1940 LPRINT E$;"%O"; 'Cancel superscript 1950 LPRINT E$;"T"; 1960 GOSUB 3150 'Select download character 1970 LPRINT E$;"%l"; 1980 FOR I=1 TO 5 'Print download character 1990 ;;a: CHRS(60); 2000 'Select normal character 2010 LPRINT ES:"%O": 2020 GOSUB 3020 'Select subscrivt 2030 LPRINT ES:"Sl": 'Select d 3120 NEXT M 3130 RETURN 3140 3150 ' Define LO Dica download character 3160 LPRINT C$;- 3170 LPRINT E$;"&";CHR$(O);CHR$(60):CHR$(60); 3180 RESTORE 4100 3190 HEAD Ls ZLPRINT CHR$(LS); 3200 READ CW :LPRINT CHR$(CW); 3210 READ RS :LPRINT CHR$(RS); 3220 FOR M=l TO CW*3 3230 READ MM 3240 LPRINT CHR$(MM); 3250 NEXT M 3260 RETURN 4000 I 4010 ' DATA 4020 ' SUDer/sUbscriDt download character data 4030 DATA- i, 23, i 0, 44,120 4040 DATA 12, 0, 16, 0, 44, 0, 80, 4050 DATA 64,128, 33,120, 94,128, 33,120, 94,128 4060 DAT 4420 4430 4440 4450 4460 4470 4480 4490 4500 4510 4520 4530 4540 4550 DATA 192,224,224,224,224,240,255,255,255,255 DATA 255.127. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. The row of telephone symbols in the next printed line is created by downloading two new character patterns, which am printed in place of the character “<” (character 60). The final part of the program uses dot graphics to print an “SW” logo. The dot pattern of the logo was originally laid out on graph paper, then converted to the data in lines 4240 to 4550 with the help of a calculator. Each number represents eight vertical dots.

Of course, many more facilities are available with the printer, but this may give you some ideas as to how you can drive the printer using your own programs. Patches necessary to use the BASIC interpreter When using the Microsoft BASIC interpreter usually supplied with PCs and compatibles, a number of problems may arise. Firstly, if the interpreter transmits a carriage return (ODh) character to the printer, it automatically transmits a line feed as well.

INTERNATIONAL CHARACTER SETS When an international character set is selected DIP switches 4 to 7 or by a command from software, the following changes am made in the character set: See Chapter 5 for the DIE switch settings. The commands for selecting the international character sets are: Standard mode: “R” n IBM mode: “R” n Where n means character code n, i.e. CHR$(n) in BASIC. The values of n are: 0 U.S.A.
