Installation Installation Hints • Read the setup and operating instructions in this document carefully. Be sure to save this document for future reference. • Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the printer itself. • Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put in on something unsteady, it might fall and be damaged. If you place it on a soft surface (such as a rug, sofa, or bed) the vents may be blocked, causing it to overheat.
Installation Overview • If you’re using an extension cord or power strip with the printer, make sure that the total of the amperes required by all the equipment on the extension is less than the extension’s rating. Generally, the total ratings of all equipment plugged into any one power line should not exceed 15 amperes. Don’t exceed this unless you know that the power line your equipment is plugged into has a rating above 15 amperes.
Customizing the Installation Your printer has many settings (defaults) that do not need to be adjusted as part of a standard installation. However, you may need to adjust settings to fit your standards. Some settings you may need to adjust as part of your installation are: • Top of Form (TOF) • Paper Path • Printhead Gap To adjust these settings, refer to the appropriate section in “Using Your Printer.
Top of Form (TOF) ! ! ! If you turn the platen knob when the printer is turned on, you will cause the Top of Form to mis-align. Always turn the printer off before turning the platen knob! ! The first line prints at the red line of the plastic paper shield (1) on the printhead. The factory default setting for the Top of Form (where the printing should begin) is one inch down from the top of the page. Your software may print the first line of print above or below where TOF is set.

Troubleshooting General Information Here are some general things to check before proceeding with detailed troubleshooting.
List of Problems Problem 1: My word processor files do not print the way I have the menu and front panel set. Problem 2: Nothing happens when I turn on the printer. Problem 3: The printer does not print when the computer sends data. Problem 4: I'm getting strange symbols, incorrect fonts, etc., when I try to print a document. Problem 5: Ink smears on the paper when I print on narrow forms. Problem 6: I've installed a new ribbon and the printing is smeared and streaked.
Problem 1: My word processor files do not print the way I have the menu and front panel set. Solution: Always remember that: 1 Settings in your software application will override any settings in your printer driver. 2 Your printer driver settings will override any settings from the printer menu or printer front panel. 90 | Microline 320/321 Turbo/n Solution: Before sending a file to the printer, many word processors send either an “initialization string” or an I-Prime signal to the printer.
Problem 2: Nothing happens when I turn on the printer. Solution: Check the power cord connection to the outlet. If you are using a power strip, make sure it is turned on, and that a fuse hasn’t blown or that a circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Problem 3: The printer does not print when the computer sends data. Solutions: 1 Is the SEL light on? If not, press the SEL key. 2 Check that all interface cables are securely connected to the printer and the computer.
Problem 5: Ink smears on the paper when I print on narrow forms. Problem 7: The ALARM light is flashing. Solution: This may be caused by excessive printhead travel from the centering position. Enter the Menu and set the Centering Position to MODE 1. Refer to “Using Your Printer, Menu Mode.” For the wide-carriage printer, if MODE 1 doesn't work, try setting the Centering Position to MODE 2. Solution: Try turning the printer off and then back on again. If the light still blinks, call for service.
Problem 9: The ALARM light is on and the Character Pitch 15 light is flashing. Problem 11: The Print Quality and Character Pitch keys on the front panel don't work. Solution: This indicates a paper jam. Press the SEL key and correct the paper jam situation. Refer to “Maintenance, Paper Jams.” Solution: The Operator Panel Function in the printer menu can be used to disable these buttons (Limited Function).
Problem 12: Continuous-form paper sticks to the paper separator. Problem 13: Nothing happens when I print to the parallel port. Solution: In cold dry weather, static charges can build up and make the paper cling to the paper separator. Try moving the paper guides together so that the paper rests on the guides rather than on the separator. Solution: Remove the Network Card from the printer.
