Setting up the Printer

Make certain all the necessary components of the printer are
installed:

• Is the printer plugged into a power outlet?

• Does the printer have at least three black print

cartridges installed in one of the Banks?

• Is the printer connected to the computer?

Now that the printer is installed the setup or adjustments to the
printer need to be done for it to work with the media. To avoid
problems of misfeeding and jams the media must also be made
ready for the printer.

Use the following steps to make the media ready for printing:

1. Take a manageable pile of media and while holding

them (as shown below in reference A), "fan" all sides
of the media to make sure that each piece of media is
free from one another.

2. Square the pile against the tabletop, assuring a square

pile on all sides. (Reference B) This will also allow
media to settle toward the bottom of a stuffed envelope
and will increase consistency in the print and increase
the feeding capabilities of the feeder.

Setting up the Printer

The printer is designed to print on a variety of media with
various finishes and coatings. The sharpness of the print
quality will vary with different media types. Depending on
how absorbent the media is, as well as, other qualities, the best
results can be achieved using white wove bonded stock. The
printing quality will be less sharp on tyvek, recycled and
glossy media.

The types of media the printer is able to use is:

• Envelopes: should be stacked to feed with the left

or right edge first.

• Booklets: should be stacked to feed with the sealed

edge leading or stacked with the sealed edge placed
to feed first.

• Catalogs: should be stacked to feed with the sealed

edge leading or stacked with the sealed edge placed
to feed first.

• Postcards: must be 3.5” (88.9 mm) x 5” (127 mm)

or larger.

Media
Types

• Self-Mailers: may be folded in half or “C” or “Z”.

The media must be tabbed.

• Paper: may consist of 16 to 80lb of uncoated to

coated stock. The maximum width and height is
specified in Appendix G.

All folded material and catalogs must be tabbed as per postal
regulations.

The paper types that can be used are:

• White wove

• Bond Paper

• Recycled Paper

• Coated Paper

• Card Stock

• Brown Kraft

• Manila

Different sizes and types of media call for unique settings of
the Print Head Assemblies. To accommodate different sizes of
media the Print Head Assemblies have to be raised or lowered
until they touch the top of the media. Enough pressure has to
be applied by the metal wipers underneath the Print Head
Assemblies to keep the media from moving around beneath
the Print Cartridges while printing. Use the following steps as
a general guideline for most types of media.

1. Turn the Envelope Thickness Knob to raise the Print

Head Assemblies.

2. Insert a piece of the media beneath the Print Head

Assemblies.

Each bank of three Print Cartridges has to be synchronized to
print graphics, scaleable fonts or to justify the left edge of
print. If the Print Cartridges are not synchronized anything
that requires two or three Print Cartridges to line up a left edge
or to print next to each other may print to the left of one
another or on top of each other. When installing a new print
cartridge or cartridges into a 3 Print Head Assembly it may be
necessary to realign it with the other print cartridges.
Synchronizing the print cartridges in
the Print Head Assemblies is
accomplished using the Service
Menu option Adjust Print.

The following procedures will refer
to the left 3 Print Head Assembly as
Bank A, and the right 3 Print Head
Assembly as Bank B. Synchronize
each Bank of Print Cartridges by
aligning the Test Pattern that is
printed by each of the Print
Cartridges. Each Print Cartridge will
print a Test Pattern like the one
below.

Each carriage uses the leftmost Print Cartridge of the three to
synchronize the other two Print Cartridges. Counting from left
to right, the leftmost Print Cartridge in Bank A is referred to
as Head 1 and the leftmost Print Cartridge for Bank B is
referred to as Head 4.

The Test Pattern for a bank of Print Cartridges should look
like the following example when all three print cartridges are
synchronized.

When a line of print is split apart or the left edge of a block of
lines don’t line up with the left edge of the other lines the Print
Cartridges have to be synchronized horizontally. Perform a
Horizontal adjustment whenever the large solid line and the
set of 18 thin vertical lines do not form long vertical lines for
the whole bank of Print Cartridges.

The following steps are an example of how to synchronize
Print Cartridges for Bank A. The same steps are taken for
horizontally synchronizing Bank B and any extra banks of
Print Cartridges.

Example:

In the example below the large vertical line on the left and 18
thin vertical lines indicate Print Cartridge #2 has to have the
printer perform a horizontal Print Adjustment.

Use the following steps to adjust Print Cartridge #2:

• Access the ADJUST PRINT menu. See example

in Vertically Synchronizing a Bank of Print
Cartridges.

• Print out a Test Pattern by pressing the [Test

Env] button. The printer will print a test pattern

like the following example:

Printer Tips

The 3 Print Head Assemblies have several holes for relocating
the two narrow Wipers. Move the wipers when synchronizing
banks of print cartridges or when two or more banks of print
cartridges are printing near the same area or the Print Head
Assembly has to print on or near the edge of a piece of media.
Move the wiper(s) when it causes a problem while the media
is on the Transport Belts.

Pay special attention when using Bank A with Bank B
of Print Head Assemblies. If the wipers run over an
area on the media where ink was just sprayed the
print will smear or smudge. The area where ink is
sprayed onto the media is referred to as a Print Zone.
Use the markings located on the bracket of each Print
Head Assembly to judge where the Print Zone for
Bank B is located. Move the Wipers to an area
outside of the Print Zone to maintain the best print

quality.
Perform the following steps to move the Wipers:

1. Remove the Cover from the printer.

Moving the
Wipers

2. Loosen the knob on top of the bracket that

secures the Bank of Print Head Assemblies.

3. Flip the Bank of Print Head Assemblies upside

down to expose the bottom of the assembly.

4. Remove the two screws securing the Wiper(s) on the

Print Head Assembly (Bank A or
B).

5. Relocate one or both wipers away

from the Print Zone or edge of the
media. Reinstall the wiper(s) using
the two screws on each wiper.

Note: Move the Wiper(s) far off to the side
if one or both are running along the edge of
the piece or just off the edge. This may
cause skewing of the print or paper jams.

Printer Tips

Included in the Accessories are Cartridge Capping Assemblies
to enclose the nozzles of the print cartridges. Proper use of the
Cartridge Capping Assemblies help in
maintaining the quality of print from the print
cartridges and help to prevent the ink from drying
and creating severe clogging of the print cartridge
nozzles.

Use the Cartridge Capping Assemblies when the
30K Printer is left to idle or shut down for a more
than a few minutes. To use the Cartridge Capping Assemblies
the ink cartridges have to be removed from the Print Head
Assemblies. Note: Keep the ink cartridges in order or
numbered otherwise the counter for the percent ink remaining
will give false information.
Employ the following steps to use the Cartridge Capping
Assemblies.

1. Remove the ink cartridge from the Print Head

Assembly. (See section 3-3 for information on
removing the ink cartridges.)

Factors that Affect the Printers Performance

The 30K Printer is designed to give the best possible
performance, but the speed can be affected by these factors.

1. The amount of memory available in the computer.

2. Whether the printer is running as a network printer

or with a print spooler.

3. Pre-glued flaps on the media

4. Glossy or heavily waxed media.

5. Setting up margins, or sending non printable

characters or blank spaces in the records.

6. Sending blank lines in each record.

Tips for Running the Job

1. Use a computer dedicated to the printer only.

2. Tab magazines or stapled sheets.

performance
of the
Printer

3. Eliminate blank spaces and lines in the records.

Extra characters take extra time to process.

4. Records with differing numbers of lines should be

followed with a page break or form feed.

5. When only one bank of print heads are required to

print the job use Bank B for printing.

Running with the Feeder Assembly

To use a feeder with the printer the setup requires two
considerations:
Use the following recommendations to help in setting up the

printer.

 Media must go through the center of the Printer

To use a feeder with the printer it is best to position the feeder
so the media travels through the center of the printer. This is

The media has to travel through the path of the
sensor beam for the record to be printed. This is
very important with small or thin media like post
cards or envelopes. Use the illustration to the right
for an example.
Mount the feeder to the center of the printer. The
media must interrupt the sensor beam for the printer
to know when media is being fed.

Whenever the printer will be printing on a different media
type it is necessary to re-align the spacing between the H­Block and the rollers.
The next five steps will instruct the operator on how to
correctly adjust the H-Block spacing for printing on a
particular type of media. Readjust the thickness of the
H-Block if the printer continues experiencing misfeeds
or hesitation in feeding.

Open the Inner & Outer Fences away from the center of
the feeder.

1. Raise the Lever on the "H" Block Assembly

completely up to lift the block to the highest
position and secure in place.

2. Manually place one piece of the media between

the separator fingers (lower section of the "H"
block) and the feed roller.

4. Release and lower the "H" Block. Let it fall

freely onto the media. When lowering the "H"
block, verify the media is between all separator
fingers and the Feed Roller.

5. Press the Lever down to secure it in place.

6. The input bin area can now be filled with the

desired media for printing. The media stack
should be "shingled" when loaded into the input
bin with flap facing downward. Start with just a
few envelopes to start the stack and get the
proper contour then add more pieces.

8. CONVEYER TIME

This item increases the length of time the conveyer will stay on. Generally, when the print
quality is set higher than draft, and / or, print width is larger than normal, the drying time of
printed records must be increased to prevent smearing or smudging of addresses. Special
consideration of ink drying time and media handling for glossy or tyvek media should also be
considered when using a conveyer.

Menu Items Selections Explanation

Use a 5 volt DC relay switch or a Bryce Pulse Box inline with the Accessory Port and the Conveyer
when connecting to the 5 VDC line [Pin 3] and the Conveyer Signal line [Pin 2]. Reference the Schematic
for the pins to use when connecting to the Conveyer Port. (See Section K for ordering information)

10. PURGE PRINT HEAD

This menu item is to clean the ink jet cartridge nozzles. The purge process fires all the ink jet
nozzles onto a piece of media to dislodge and clear any dried ink on the print nozzles. Often this
will return the print quality to a normal level.

This item will fire all the nozzles of a print head
onto a piece of media. Note: Once the purge is
started the [-] minus button may be pressed to stop
the cycle.

11. RESET INK COUNT

The printer calculates the amount of ink used by each of the Print Cartridges. When the red led
on a Print Head Assembly starts to blink it is a signal that one or more of the Print Cartridges is
less than 5% full and it must be changed relatively soon. After new Print Cartridges are installed
the Ink Count needs to be reset to stop the red led from blinking.

Cleaning and Maintaining the Printer

The 30K Printer is designed for trouble free service with a
minimal amount of care. Periodic cleaning of the Sensor,
Transport Belts, Floor and 3 Print Head Assemblies will be
necessary.

CAUTION!!

CLEAN PRINT CARTRIDGE, INK SURFACES AND COVERS WITH PLAIN WATER.
ALL METAL AND PLASTIC CAN BE CLEANED WITH ISOPROPYL, DENATURED & RUBBING

ALCOHOL OR WATER ONLY.

USING ANY OTHER CLEANING SOLVENTS WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES.

Keep cleaning solvents with petroleum based products from rubber or plastic parts.

If the print quality is unacceptable select the Purge Print Head
function from the Main Menu (See Section Purge Print Head).
If problems still persist then do the following:

• Remove the Print Cartridge (See Section

Remove Print Cartridges). Clean the nozzles
with a soft cotton cloth. Use a dry cloth
or one moistened with alcohol to clean
the ink jet cartridge.

• Remove problem print cartridge and

install a new print cartridge.
Perform a self cleaning (Purge Print Head) cycle at the
start before printing and periodically while printing to
keep the nozzles clear of dry ink and debris.

Preventative
Maintenance:

Cleaning
the print
cartridges

With use, a film and/or dust builds up on the eye of the sensor
causing misfeeds of media. Periodically use compressed air to
blow dust from the sensors. For caked on dust use a Q-tip to
remove the dust from the eye of the sensor. Note: The lower
half of the Sensor is
seen through the hole
in the floor.

Cleaning and Maintaining the Printer

The Wipers beneath the banks of Print Head Assemblies will
over time pick up ink,
wax, clay and other
material from the media it
touches. Once enough wax
or clay, etc, accumulates
on the wipers it will leave
marks or smears on the
media. Use water to
dampen a soft cloth to
remove any ink, wax, clay,
etc. and keep the wipers
clean.

When the Exit Idler
Roller is adjusted over
the area where
addresses are printed
the ink will get
transferred from the
media onto the roller.
Use water to dampen a
soft cotton cloth to
remove the ink from the
rollers.

Ink will get sprayed on the Transport Belts and the Floor
Assembly from all the purging, setting up and printing
records, etc. Eventually an adequate amount of ink will
accumulate on top of the Transport Belts to give the belts a
glossy sheen. Use water to dampen a soft cotton cloth to
remove the ink from
the Transport Belts
and the Floor
Assembly. Raise the
Print Head
Assemblies up and
out of the way to
clean the Floor
Assembly.

Cleaning and Maintaining the Printer

Lint and paper dust will tend to build up on the feeders tires
with use. Clean the tires as needed: when it is glazed or has
yellowish residue. Use alcohol to dampen a soft cotton cloth
or plastic scouring pad to clean all rubber tires.

The tires or sections of the tires will wear down differently
depending on the variety of media used and where the areas of
heavy use are. If cleaning the tires is ineffective in helping to
feed the media into the printer, then reference the replacement
procedures for the worn Tires on the Upper or Lower Feed
Roller Shaft Assembly. (See Replacing the Tires on the Feeder
Assembly)

Appendix C  PCL Command Codes
Introduction

The 30K Address Printer emulates the listed PCL 5 printer command codes. The 30K Address Printer will
virtually handle media as an HP1200 would using these printer commands. Additional printer commands have
been added to allow control of special printer addressing functions and addressing needs.

The printer command codes are sets of characters that allow your computer software to override the Industrial
Printer menu selections as fonts, print quality, etc. so customized address formats can be created.

PCL Command Codes

Code Name Symbol HEX

Value

Line Feed <LF> 0A 10 Causes the printer to advance the paper one line at

Form Feed <FF> 0C 12 Causes the printer to advance the paper to the next top

Note: The order that PCL Commands are received can affect the performance of the printer. PCL commands
sent in the wrong order may produce erratic and unanticipated results. The following is a quick guideline for
what order to send the PCL commands. For more explicit details see a PCL 5 Printer Language Technical
Reference Manual.

To setup a page using PCL commands the expected order is:

1. Reset (Esc E)

2. Page Orientation

3. Definition of a Page Size

4. Margins on the page

5. Definitions of a Font
a. Select a font
b. Set the Font Height
c. Set the Font Pitch

6. Set the positioning commands

c The Page Width & Page Length printer commands function like the Page Size command. Using these
commands automatically enables Page Eject and disables overlay macros. Both the Page Width and Page
Length commands can be used independently and will only change the width or length to the maximum
allowable page size of 9.4 x 15 inches (23.9 x 38.1 cm). Setting the cursor positioning commands, margin
settings, print data, etc. to cause printing beyond the pages size dimensions will be cropped.

d Only one overlay macro can be used at a time, and cannot be recursive. The overlay macros need print
quality, page parameters, etc. to determine the printers’ page setup.

e Soft font creation is in HP non compressed Bit Map Font Format.
h The resident fonts are scaleable from 8 to 30 points. If a desired font spacing does not match the font

selected an internal font will be substituted. For fixed spacing the substitute font will be Courier, and Sans Serif
for proportionally spaced fonts. Characteristics of the font being replaced, such as point size, print width, etc.,
will be matched by the substituted font.

To determine page size or cursor movement in Dots multiply by 300 Dots /inch (2.54 cm) for Horizontal and
300 Dots /inch (2.54 cm) for Vertical. Example: a Letter size page of 8.5 x 11 inches (21.6 x 27.9 cm) is 2550 x

To utilize the 30K Address Printers internal bar-coding features, records are searched for a valid ZIP, ZIP + 4,
Delivery Point Bar Code (DPBC) or DPBC with a check sum. For ZIP + 4 or a 11 digit DPBC, a checksum is
computed for printing a USPS Postnet bar-code with framing bars. The position of the Postnet bar-code is
determined by the printers menu setup or the bar-code location commands in effect. Bar-codes will not be
printed outside of the printers’ Page Size setup.

Appendix F  Printing with Software

The industrial printer comes with Windows drivers that allow
the use of graphics and a virtually unlimited number of True
Type Fonts. Unlike printing with ASCII text: a non-GUI
operating system that is normally associated with operating
systems like DOS / Unix / Linux, where the printer draws on
the internal fonts, Windows downloads a representation of the
fonts for the printer to make use of.

Driver Information for DOS / Unix / Linux or Windows

3.0, 3.1 & 3.11

Most software packages allow you to select or setup a printer
driver. Use one of the following printer drivers.

Generic Printer
DOS Text Printer
Typewriter
Teletype
TTYCRLF Printer
TTYCR Printer (This requires the Setup Menu

CR = CR + LF option to be turned on)

Printer Software

If none of these choices are available one of the following may
work:

HP Laserjet Series II or any Laserjet II listed
(excluding Postscript)

HP Laserjet 4

Note: When using DOS set the MODE COMMAND!!!
Type the MODE command at the DOS prompt or add the

MODE command to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The
AUTOEXEC.BAT will load the command when the computer
is first booted up.

Example:

When printing to the parallel port load MODE
LPT1:,,P

When printing to the serial port load MODE
COM1:9600,N,8,1,P

Note: The parameter settings may vary from the
preceding examples. For DOS version 5.0 or later, a
,,B may be substituted for the ,,P)

Appendix F  Printing with Software

MICROSOFT WINDOWS™ Applications
Software Driver Information

Microsoft Windows 3.xx Software Driver Information

When using Microsoft Windows 3.0, 3.1 or 3.11, select
the Generic / Text printer driver. The Generic / Text
printer driver is the least complicated and
straightforward driver to use with the printer. Generic /
Text printer drivers only print text and cannot support
the printing of graphics. Some software may list a
Bryce or BOS driver to use with that software package.
Contact the software company for specifics on the
printer driver before using it for it may have been
written specifically for a particular model of Bryce
printer.

Microsoft Windows 95/98, NT 4.0 & XP/2000 Software
Driver Information

Printer Drivers for the aforementioned operating
systems are included with the printer. To take
advantage of the printers’ graphics capabilities and of
True Type Fonts the right printer driver has to be
installed. Once the driver is installed for Windows 95/
98, NT 4.0 or XP/2000 you are ready to print text and
graphics. Use the printer drivers to also set the paper
size, margins, orientation, and to even configure some
of the printers’ control panel settings. The printer
driver will override most control panel settings in the
printer.

Updating the Printer Drivers

Periodically updates of printer drivers are made available on
the World Wide Web. To obtain the most recent drivers or
additional drivers go to

http://www.BryceUSA.com.
