PAGE 95
SP298_I.fm Page 92 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 92 Disimballaggio della stampante Controllare che lo scatolone contenga tutti gli elementi indicati nella seguente illustrazione. Stampante Cassetta del nastro Manuale di istruzioni Fascetta di fissaggio Se dovesse mancare qualcosa, contattare il concessionario da cui si è acquistata la stampante e richiedere la parte mancante.
PAGE 96
SP298_I.fm Page 93 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 93 Guida generale Le seguenti illustrazioni descrivono le parti principali, i tasti e i connettori della stampante. Coperchio della stampante Protegge i componenti interni. ITALIANO Pannello comandi Tre spie indicano lo stato della stampante e due interruttori permettono di controllare le funzioni della stampante. Interruttore di alimentazione Per accendere e spegnere la stampante.
PAGE 97
SP298_I.fm Page 94 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 94 Rimozione del coperchio stampante ❏ Spingere direttamente verso l’alto sulle zigrinature sui lati del coperchio stampante per rimuoverlo dalla stampante. ❏ Per rimettere il coperchio, abbassarlo in posizione. Premere leggermente sul coperchio fino a sentire che scatta in posizione.
PAGE 98
SP298_I.fm Page 95 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 95 ❏ Tenendo la cassetta del nastro con il nastro rivolto verso il basso, inserire la cassetta nella stampante di moduli come indicato nell’illustrazione. ITALIANO ❏ Premere delicatamente ma con fermezza fino a che la cassetta scatta saldamente in posizione. ❏ Girare di nuovo la manopola della cassetta per eliminare allentamenti. ❏ Rimettere il coperchio della stampante.
PAGE 99
SP298_I.fm Page 96 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 96 Rimozione della cassetta del nastro Usare il seguente procedimento per rimuovere la cassetta del nastro dalla stampante di moduli quando si desidera sostituirla con un’altra nuova. ❏ Assicurarsi che la stampante sia spenta e scollegata dalla presa di corrente. ❏ Rimuovere il coperchio della stampante. ❏ Afferrare la cassetta del nastro come illustrato e tirarla via dolcemente dal ITALIANO meccanismo di stampa.
PAGE 100
SP298_I.fm Page 97 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 97 ❏ Collegare l’altro capo del cavo di alimentazione ad una presa di corrente normale. ❏ Usare l’interruttore di alimentazione sul lato sinistro della stampante per accendere e spegnere. ITALIANO Importante! Consigliamo di scollegare la stampante dalla presa di corrente quando si prevede di non usarla per un lungo periodo. Per questo motivo, la stampante deve essere collocata in modo che la presa di corrente sia vicina e facilmente accessibile.
PAGE 101
SP298_I.fm Page 98 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 98 Collegamento al computer ospite Il computer invia dati alla stampante tramite un cavo collegato all’interfaccia della stampante (tipo connettore interfaccia seriale: D-sub a 25 terminali o tipo connettore interfaccia parallela: compatibile Centronics a 36 terminali). Questa stampante non è dotata di cavo, che deve essere acquistato a seconda delle esigenze di impiego.

SP298_I.fm Page 99 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 99 Far passare la fascetta di fissaggio attraverso l’anello di ferrite. 5 cm massimo Fascetta di fissaggio Avvolgere la fascetta intorno al cavo e fissarla. Usare delle forbici per tagliare la parte in eccesso. ITALIANO Tirare e tagliare Per un cavo seriale: ❏ Collegare un capo del cavo seriale alla porta seriale del computer e l’altro capo alla presa sul retro della stampante. Fissare entrambi i connettori in posizione con le viti in dotazione.
PAGE 103
SP298_I.fm Page 100 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 100 Collegamento ad un’unità periferica Si può collegare un’unità periferica alla stampante usando una spina modulare. Di seguito descriviamo come installare l’anello di ferrite ed eseguire il collegamento. Vedere “Modulare necessario” a pagina 137 per dettagli sul tipo di spina modulare necessario. Notare che la stampante non è dotata di spina o filo modulare, che devono essere acquistati in base alle esigenze di impiego.

Tirare e tagliare ❏ Collegare un capo del cavo modulare alla presa modulare della periferica. ❏ Rimuovere il coperchio presa modulare dal retro della stampante e collegare l’altro capo del cavo modulare alla presa sulla stampante.
PAGE 105
SP298_I.fm Page 102 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 102 ❏ Collocare un foglio di carta sul ripiano documenti della stampante ed inserire il bordo destro nella stampante. La stampa verrà eseguita sul lato della carta rivolto verso l’alto (quello visibile), partendo dal margine superiore del foglio. Importante! Non usare carta sgualcita o arricciata. In caso di utilizzo di carta a più copie, allineare esattamente i fogli.
PAGE 106
SP298_I.fm Page 103 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 103 ❏ Spingere il bordo destro della carta nella stampante fino al suo arresto. A ❏ ❏ questo punto, la spia PAPER OUT si spegnerà, e il meccanismo della stampante allineerà automaticamente la carta per la stampa partendo dal margine superiore. Inviare i dati da stampare sulla carta dal computer principale. Terminata la stampa, premere il tasto RELEASE per rilasciare automaticamente la carta.
PAGE 107
SP298_I.fm Page 104 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 104 Chapter 2: Operazioni con il pannello comandi Il pannello di controllo consente di controllare il funzionamento della stampante tipo slip mediante l’uso di tasti. Esso comprende inoltre alcune spie luminose che consentono all’operatore di conoscere con una rapida occhiata lo stato operativo della stampante.
PAGE 108
SP298_I.fm Page 105 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 105 Tasti La seguente tabella descrive le funzioni dei tre tasti di controllo del pannello comandi. Tasto Descrizione FORWARD Fa avanzare il modulo di carta in avanti, verso il retro della stampante. Una pressione del tasto fa avanzare la carta di una riga, tenendo il tasto premuto viene eseguito l’avanzamento continuo. REVERSE Fa retrocedere il modulo di carta, verso il davanti della stampante.
PAGE 109
SP298_I.fm Page 106 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 106 Questo è causato da una perdita di allineamento delle parti meccaniche della stampante. Questo succede solo raramente e può non verificarsi mai durante l’uso della stampante. Se si hanno problemi, usare il seguente procedimento per correggerli. ❏ Accendere la stampante ed inserire un foglio di carta. ❏ Spegnere la stampante.
PAGE 110
SP298_I.fm Page 107 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:16 AM 107 L’impostazione di allineamento punti selezionata viene conservata nella memoria della stampante e viene stampato uno schema che impiega l’impostazione selezionata seguito dal messaggio “Adjust complete!”. La stampante espelle la carta una volta completata la stampa. Nota: ITALIANO Le impostazioni non sono registrate se si spegne la stampante prima di premere REVERSE per uscire dal modo di regolazione allineamento punti.
