2 Initial Setup Installation Overview The installation and setup of your printer is intended to be done by a service provider who has been trained and authorized by Printronix. Your service provider is also responsible for doing a preinstallation site survey, unpacking the printer, connecting the power and host data cables, and installing the first set of consumable items in the printer.
Chapter 2 Loading Paper Loading Paper This section explains how to load fanfold paper. To load cut sheet paper, go to page 33. Loading Fanfold Paper When loading fanfold paper, be sure the leading edge of the paper has a clean, separated perforation (without ragged edges or paper chaff). NOTE: If the printer runs out of paper during printing, you do not need to turn off printer power to replace paper.
Loading Fanfold Paper 3. Pass the leading edge of the paper between the lower paper guides, as shown in the illustration below.
Chapter 2 Loading Paper 1 2 3 Legend: 1) 2) 3) Tractor Pins Tractor Gate Tractor Lock 4. Unlock only the right tractor by pushing forward on the tractor lock. 5. Open the left and right tractor gates and place the paper about half-way onto the tractor pins. IMPORTANT Do not push the paper past the tractors into the area of the paper jam sensor. 6. Close the left tractor gate. 7.
Loading Cut Sheet Paper NOTE: After you place the paper on the tractors, introduce a slight amount of side-to-side tension into the paper. Set the right tractor far enough to the right so that there are no wrinkles, looseness, etc. in the paper. Do not set the right tractor too far to the right, however, as too much tension may cause the paper holes to tear away from the tractor pins. 8. Tension the paper by moving the right tractor slightly outward and lock the right tractor with the tractor lock. 9.
Chapter 2 Loading Paper To load cut sheet paper, do the following steps: 1. Pull out the paper cassette and remove its cover. 2. Load the new paper uniformly in the cassette, making sure the leading edge of the paper is at the front of the cassette. Do not load more paper than specified below, otherwise a paper jam may occur. 17-20 lb. bond 21-44 lb.
Changing Cassette Paper Size 3. Cover the cassette and insert it into the printer, making sure it is completely seated. If the cassette is not seated, a paper jam may result. 4. If you are reloading paper following a “CUT-SHEET PAPER EMPTY” message with the printer power on, press ONLINE to place the printer online. The printer resumes printing. NOTE: Occasionally, paper may become moist and wavy, resulting in poor print quality.

Tray linking is disabled by the printer automatically when the lower tray is configured as a variable length tray, and is selected as a source tray. Tray linking is resumed after the lower tray is reconfigured to a standard cut sheet paper size.
Variable Tray Length Variable Tray Length If your printer is equipped with the cut sheet paper feed option, it is possible to override the standard cut sheet paper tray lengths. This feature is called Custom Tray Length. The standard cut sheet paper tray sizes are listed in the table on page 37. Using Custom Tray Length and specially modified paper trays, it is possible to use nonstandard paper stock that is longer or shorter than the standard paper length.
Chapter 2 Powering On The Printer Powering On The Printer 1 Legend: 1) CAUTION Power Switch The printer must be connected to a 220-240 VAC, 30 Amp, 5060 Hz power source, as shown on the rear panel label. Using an incorrect power source may damage the printer. 1. Turn on the printer by setting the power switch to | (on). 2. Note that when you power on the printer, the following occurs: a. The printer reads the emulation boot file and displays the message: “TESTING HARDWARE PLEASE WAIT...” b.
Variable Tray Length NOTE: The printer can be set to power on in the OFFLINE state instead of the ONLINE state. To print, ONLINE must be lit; if it is not, press ONLINE. If other messages and prompts appear on the control panel, answer the prompts and follow the directions as explained in Table 6, “Error Messages,” page 228. Power Paper Stacker Safety Feature To prevent injuries, the optional power stacker is equipped with two safety stop bars located under the edge of the stacker.
Chapter 2 Power Paper Stacker Parts Of The Power Stacker The front (output side) of the power stacker is shown in the following figure.
Stacker Operation Keys Stacker Operation Keys The power paper stacker contains the four keys for operating the elevator: • AUTO: Sets the elevator in automatic mode. Pressing this key causes the elevator table to rise until it reaches its maximum upper position and enables the stacker. • STOP: Stops the elevator, and displays the message “STACKER NOT READY” on the printer control panel. The STOP key may be used to stop the elevator from lowering after pressing the DOWN key.

Serial Parameters - RS-232 & RS-422 Values: XON/XOFF, ETX/ACK, ACK/NAK, SERIES 1, 1 CH, or SERIES 1, 2 CH, DTR. This parameter must be set to match your host computer. The actions for each of the seven possible parameter values are as follows: XON/XOFF (Default) When you select the XON/XOFF protocol, the printer does the following: • When not ready to receive data (i.e., offline or full data buffer), the printer sends ASCII code DC3 (Device Code 3, hex 13, XOFF) to the host.
Chapter 3 Host Interface Menu • When ready to receive data (buffer drops to 50% full), the printer sends a buffer empty response character to the host. • If the buffer ever fills completely, the printer sends a buffer full response character to the host every time it receives a character from the host. • In addition, whenever the printer state changes from online to offline (or vice-versa), the printer sends the appropriate response character to the host.
Serial Parameters - RS-232 & RS-422 You can select the poll character and the poll delay time from the printer control panel. You can also enable or disable Series 1 Idle from the control panel. Descriptions of these parameters start on page 83. NOTE: When using the SERIES 1, 1 CH protocol, be careful with the transmission of binary data (control codes, bit images, etc.) since the printer discards poll characters.
Chapter 3 Host Interface Menu Baud Rate Sets the baud rate of the serial interface in the printer. Baud rate is the speed at which serial data is transferred between the host computer and the printer. The choices for the RS-232 and RS-422 interfaces are 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19,200, 38,400, 57,600, 115,200 Baud. NOTE: If you select a baud rate that is greater than 19200, you will need to use RS-422 to prevent data loss. Word Length Sets the length of the serial data word.
Serial Parameters - RS-232 & RS-422 • The True parameter setting causes the printer to continuously assert the DTR signal. • The False setting causes the printer to never assert the DTR signal. • The Online & BNF (buffer not full) setting causes the printer to assert the DTR signal only when the printer is online and its internal serial buffer is not full. • The Offline or BF (buffer full) asserts the DTR signal when the printer is off-line or the internal serial buffer is full.
Chapter 3 Host Interface Menu Buffer Size In K Value: 1 - 128. This parameter reflects the size in K of the printer’s data buffer. Poll Character Values: The allowable range is hex 0 through FF. The default value for this parameter is 0. This parameter selects the character that the printer recognizes as the Series 1 poll character. NOTE: This parameter is used only with the SERIES 1, 1 CH and SERIES 1, 2 CH protocols. See page 83 for more information. Poll Response Values: 0 to 30 MS.
Serial Parameters - RS-232 & RS-422 One Char Enquiry The One Char Enquiry mode uses the Poll Character to detect a request from the host and sends a response back to the host. This option also allows you to turn this feature on and off. The default is disabled.

Chapter 3 Paper Control Menu Paper Selection Paper selection specifies the type of paper and, for the cut sheet option, the cassette to be used. You may select fanfold (factory default) paper, or the upper or lower cassette, which holds various sizes of cut sheet paper. Fanfold Options Image Width Image Width specifies the width of the image to be printed. The allowable range is 2.0 to 14.7 inches, in 0.1 inch increments. The factory default is 14.6 inches.
Paper Control Menu If the form length parameter is outside the valid range for the paper length parameter, the printer finds a multiple or divisor of the form length parameter closest to 11 inches. For example, a form length parameter setting of 10 inches results in a paper length setting of 10 inches, as 10 inches is within the valid range for form length and paper length parameters. A form length setting of 24 inches results in a paper length setting of 12 inches, as 24 is above the valid range.
Chapter 3 Paper Control Menu When Burst on Eject is disabled, note the following effects: • PAGE EJECT: When you press PAGE EJECT or send a ~PAGE EJECT command, the paper is not separated and is not rolled back into the printer. Instead, enough forms are inserted to fuse and move all pages physically out of the printer. The exact distance depends on the current Paper Length selection. The paper moves a minimum of 25.5 inches. Note that the printer uses Paper Length and not Form Length for paper motion.
Paper Control Menu Tray Linking With tray linking enabled, when the active cut sheet paper tray (cassette) runs out of paper, the printer switches automatically to the other cut sheet paper tray, and continues printing. The default is disable. NOTE: Disable Tray Linking if the two cut sheet paper trays are of different sizes. If the cut sheet trays are of different sizes, and Tray Linking is enabled, the printer will not switch to the alternate tray when the first tray runs out of paper.
Chapter 3 Paper Control Menu “Tray Width” here is defined as the edge of the paper parallel to the drum. If the paper tray is set for Letter size or A4 size, the Variable Tray Width setting in the menus must be greater than the length. Variable Tray Length With Variable Tray Length, it is possible to override the standard cut sheet paper tray lengths. Using Variable Tray Length and modified paper trays, it is possible to use non-standard paper stock that is a different length than standard paper lengths.
Paper Control Menu Toner The Toner option sets the frequency interval for dispensing toner. The higher the number selected, the less frequently toner is dispensed. The allowable range is from 1 to 254. The default is 3. Reprint On Fault Reprint on Fault enables (default) or disables automatic reprinting after a fault condition occurs. If Confirm is selected, the printer returns a message asking if you want to reprint.
