Preparing the Media

Note: Maximum

thickness is 1/9” for the 9KL.

Recheck that all the necessary components of the printer are installed.

• Is the Wire Form Assembly installed?

• Is the Sliding Fence installed?

• Is the printer plugged into a power outlet?

• Does the printer have an Ink Jet Cartridge installed?

• Is the printer connected to the computer?

Now that all the parts of the printer are installed the printer needs to be adjusted 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 table top, 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 the feeding capabilities of the printer.

Media Types

Operating the Printer

The printer is designed to feed and 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

bottom edge first (non flap edge).

• Booklets: should be stacked with the sealed edge

leading or stacked with the sealed edge placed parallel to the rear wall of the Rear Support Plate Assembly.

• Catalogs: should be stacked with the sealed edge

leading or stacked with the sealed edge placed parallel to the rear wall of the Rear Support Plate Assembly.

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

or larger.

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

The media must be tabbed and not exceed the maximum allowable thickness.

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

coated stock. The maximum width and height is

specified in Appendix B. All folded material and catalogs must be tabbed as per postal regulations.

Revision A 9K-L USERS MANUAL Section 4 - P/N 90-00860-001

The paper types that can be used are:

• White wove

• Bond Paper

• Recycled Paper

• Coated Paper

• Card Stock

• Brown Kraft

• Manila

Operating the Printer

Setting the proper feed gap

Hint: set a smaller

gap between the separators and feed roller, by using standard copy paper

hen using post cards.

To start a print job the feed gap should be set for each type of media used in the printer. The feed gap is the spacing between the feed rollers and the separators. Set the feed gap with a piece media by following these procedures:

1. Loosen the H Block Knob on the three H-Block

Assemblies.

2. Raise the three H-Block Assemblies up. Tighten the H

Block Knobs to secure H-Block Assemblies in place.

3. Take a piece of the media and place between the Feed

Rollers and the H-Block Assemblies.

4. Square the edge of the media against the wall of the

Rear Support Plate Assembly.

5. Loosen the H Block Knobs and allow the H-Block

Assemblies to drop on top of the media. Keep the HBlock Assembles up that won’t contact the media. When just one of the separator fingers is in contact with the media use another piece beneath the other separator finger and the Feed Roller to set the feed gap.

6. Tighten H Block Knobs to secure H-Block Assemblies

in this position.

When the feed gap is not set correctly the printer will have feeding problems. When the gap is too wide double feeding (feeding two or more pieces at a time) will occur. If the gap is to small the media will jam beneath the separators. If you

Revision A 9K-L USERS MANUAL Section 4 - P/N 90-00860-001

Page 24

Setup with #10 Envelopes

Operating the Printer

followed the preceding steps and are experiencing feeding problem using post cards or stuffed media try the following:

Post cards (.003" thickness) - set a smaller gap between the HBlock Assemblies and the Feed Rollers. Try using a sheet of copy paper to set the feed gap.

Stuffed Media - set a larger gap between the separator blocks and the feed roller. Try adding two or three, number ten (# 10) envelopes, on top of the media before setting the separators.

Perform the preceding steps for setting the feed gap using #10 envelopes. Notice that only two of the H-Block Assemblies completely rest on the envelope. The third H-Block has one separator finger on the envelope and one on the feed roller.

1. Take Sliding Fence off and remove out of the way.

2. Fit a second envelope between the other half of the H-

Block Assembly and the Feed Roller.

Wire Form Adjustments

3. Loosen the H Block Knob to let the H-Block Assembly

fall freely onto the envelope. Verify envelopes are between all the Separators Fingers and the Feed Rollers.

4. Lock in place by tightening the H Block Knob.

5. The Input Bin can now be filled with #10 envelopes

for printing. The stack of envelopes should be "shingled" or layered with the piece on top partially covering the piece below it like shingles on a roof. Load into the input bin with flap away from the feed roller and facing downward. Start with just a few envelopes to start the stack and get the angled contour of the bin area, then add several more pieces. Then add the remainder of the stack.

The Wire Form assembly supports the media stacked in the input bin area and redistributes the weight of the media to assist in the feeding of the media. The Wire Form assembly has three basic adjustments.

Revision A 9K-L USERS MANUAL Section 4 - P/N 90-00860-001

Page 25

Wire Form Center Adjustment

Operating the Printer

• Wire Form Center Adjustment to eliminate

skewing of the media and print.

• Wire Form Height Adjustment to allow the printer

to feed media of varying density. Example: Rigid

media is set low, light weight media is set high.

• Wire Form Ramp Adjustment improves the

feeding of media by distributing the weight of the

media stack onto the feed roller.

Adjust Feed Carriage

The Feed Carriage Assembly needs to be adjusted with the Wire Form Assembly.

1. Place a piece of the media in the bin area against the

Rear Support Plate Assembly.

2. Unlock Feed Carriage assembly by pushing locking

lever down

3. Slide Feed Carriage Assembly to the center of the

media.

4. Pull lever up to lock Feed Carriage Assembly in place.

Wire Form Height Adjustment

The Wire Form Assembly helps the printer feed the media. Use the following suggestions as a guide for setting the height of the Wire Form Assembly. When the media is:

• Heavy media- set low

• Light media - set high.

• Rigid media - set low

To adjust the Wire Form Assembly:

1. Loosen the Carriage Knob on the Feed Carriage

Feed Ramp Adjustment

Adjust Feed Ramp and Wire Form Assembly

Assembly.

2. Move the Wire Form Assembly accordingly.

3. Tighten the Carriage Knob to secure the Wire Form

Assembly in place.

Adjust the Feed Ramp Assembly beneath the rear edge of the media by:

1. Loosen the Knob on the Feed Ramp Assembly.

2. Lower Feed Ramp beneath the back edge of the media.

Place ramp where the media is halfway up the angled front edge.

3. Tighten Knob to lock Feed Ramp into position.

Operating the Printer

Sliding Fence Adjustment

Recheck your setup and adjustments:

• Is the feed gap set?

• Is the Wire Form in the center of the media?

• Is the Wire Form at a good height?

• Is the Feed Ramp beneath the edge of the media?

Position the Sliding Fence before stacking the bin area with media. The fence has to be close enough to the media to keep it from going in at an angle and loose enough for the media to drop down to the Feed Rollers. To properly position the fence:

1. Place a handful of the prepared media in the input bin

area.

2. Square the stack against the wall of the Rear Support

Plate Assembly and the H-Block Assemblies.

3. Push the Sliding Fence in near the media. Leave a gap

of 1/16 of a inch (1.6 mm) or the thickness of one or two #10 envelopes. This size of gap places the fence close enough to prevent pieces from twisting and turning as they enter the printer and the fence won’t be too close to the media to trap and restrain the pieces between the fence and the wall of the Rear Support Plate Assembly. This would hinder the media from being fed into the printer.

Revision A 9K-L USERS MANUAL Section 4 - P/N 90-00860-001

Page 28

Operating the Printer

4. Put the media into the bin. Start with a few pieces to

get the proper contour. The media stack should be "shingled" when loaded into the input bin with flap away from the feed roller and facing downward. Add several more pieces. Keep adding to the stack until the bin is full of media.

Push the Exit Roller Slider left or right to move the slider to a new position on the shaft. Place the Sliders to 1/4 of an inch (6.35 mm) from the left and right edges of the media. It is important to check that the Sliders do not contact any printed information on the media. If the rollers do roll over any printed areas they will act as a brush with paint and smear the print. Move the rollers in more or out more toward the nearest clear zone (non printing area of the media).

Output Stack Height

The Paper Catch Assembly will stack up to five (5) inches (12.7 cm) of media before it is necessary to remove the stack from the paper catch assembly. If the paper catch is not emptied regularly then there is the potential for the stack to be out of sequence, particularly when the printer is printing toward the top of the media.

Adjustment Lever Fine Tuning

The Adjustment Lever changes the distance of the ink jet cartridge from the media. This gives the printer the ability to adapt to different types of media. Proper use of the lever results in clean crisp print. Perform the following steps to get best quality possible with the printer:

Note: If the print

smudges the ink cartridge is touching the media. Raise up the Adjustment Lever until it stops.

1. Load the media that is going to be used for a job.

2. Raise the Adjustment Lever to the fully opened

position. Reference the Figure below.

3. Press the Test Env. button down. The printer feeds

and prints a test piece.

1. If the print is indistinct, hazy or too light, lower the

lever. Keep lowering the lever and pressing the Test Env. button until the best print quality is found.

5. COMMUNICATIONS

Transmitting data from the computer to the printer is through the parallel port (parallel interface) or the serial port (serial interface). The printer will automatically determine the selection of either the SERIAL or PARALLEL interface after the printer has received data from the computer. When the computer uses the printers Parallel interface no communication settings are required.

When the Serial interface is utilized the Communications menu settings must be configured to match the computer settings. The computer and printer must send and receive using the same configuration. Since computers typically send data faster than a printer can print, a “handshaking protocol” is employed to prevent the printers buffer from overflowing (communication overrun) and losing data. Set the computer to use one of the two methods of handshaking with the printer: DTR (hardware) or XON/XOFF (software).

The following sub menus are used to change the printer serial communications (baud rate, parity, word length) to match the computers. Note: The current settings of the SERIAL menu are shown to the right on the LCD display.

• Handshaking

Protocol

Printer Menu System

The Address Printer uses two methods of sending serial data, XON/XOFF and DTR. The XON/XOFF software handshaking uses only three wires of the cable, pins 2, 3 and

7. Software handshaking is performed by the printer when the buffer is nearly ready to overflow. When the buffer has room for only 100 more characters, the printer sends the host an XOFF (ASCII DC3) character to signal it to stop data transmission. The printer continues printing making more room in the buffer. When the buffer has room for 150 more characters, the printer sends the host an XON (ASCII DC1) character to resume data transmission.

DTR is hardware handshaking in the Address Printer. The printer uses a dedicated wire DTR (pin 20) for signaling the host to start or stop data transmission. The printer accepts data from the host until it has room for only 100 more characters. The printer turns off DTR to the host device, indicating it to stop data transmission. The printer continues printing making more room in the buffer. When the buffer has room for 150 more characters, the printer turns on DTR, enabling the host to resume data transmission.

• Establishing

Communications for IBM compatible DOS systems

• Verifying

Communications

The MODE command must be entered each time the computer is turned on or it can be put into the autoexec.bat file for auto loading. This command directs communications to the parallel port and sets the computer for infinite retries so the computer does not "time-out" while waiting for the printer to print. The message "INFINITE RETRY ON PARALLEL PRINTER TIME-OUT" will appear on your screen.

Use the following command for a Centronics Parallel Interface.

• Type: MODE LPT1:,,P and press ENTER

Use the following command for an RS-232-C Serial Interface (at 9600 baud, no parity, 8 bits, 1 stop bit and

continuous retry on all time outs).

• Type: MODE COM 1:9600,N,8,1,P and ENTER.

• To verify that the computer and the printer are

communicating, make sure the printer is on-line, type DIR>PRN and press ENTER.

6. HEX DUMP MODE

Utilize this option to print the raw ASCII data (HEX Code) that is being sent to the printer. This is very useful when troubleshooting computer (software) installation problems.

Each line printed in HEX DUMP MODE is divided into two sections: The left hand side is the Hex Code sent to the printer and the right hand side is the ASCII Characters that are assigned to the HEX Code. All dots (periods) depicted on the right hand side of the ASCII Characters are unprintable printer commands or printer characters i.e. spaces, backspace, line feed, etc.

Hex Code appears as alpha-numeric pairs that range from [00] to [FF]. Reference the HEX chart in Appendix B for review. The HEX codes printed can be understood by knowing four HEX Codes:

numerals are represented by 30's (0 is [30] HEX, 1 is [31] HEX, etc.)

Carriage Return (CR) is [0D] in HEX Line Feed (LF) is [0A] in HEX Form Feed is [0C] in HEX

To review the records printed in HEX DUMP MODE organize the printed HEX Code in ascending order using the initial two digits of the first line on each piece. The first piece will begin with the number 00, then 01, 02, etc. Look through each line of HEX Code to find the start of the next address or until a [0C] form feed is encountered. A form feed [0C] will always be found as the last HEX Code printed on the piece.

Note: The media width must be a minimum of 7 1/2” or 191 mm when running in HEX Mode. The page orientation, margins and number of lines are defined by the ADDRESS LAYOUT and LINES/ADDRESS.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE:

CLEAN PRINT CARTRIDGE, INK SURFACES AND COVERS WITH PLAIN WATER. ALL RUBBER ROLLERS 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.

Anything but ALCOHOL or WATER will cause premature breakdown of rubber compound.

The 9K-L Printer is designed for trouble free service with a minimal amount of care. Periodic cleaning of the Feed Rollers, Right Exit Roller Slider, Left Exit Roller Slider and Lower Guide assembly will be necessary.

CAUTION!!

Lint and paper dust tends to build up on the feed rollers with use. When the rollers are glazed or have a yellowish residue, clean the rollers. Use alcohol to dampen a soft cotton cloth to clean all rubber rollers.

FEED ROLLERS

PRINT CARTRIDGE

If the print quality is unacceptable select the Purge Print Head function from the Setup Menu (see section 6 - 21). If problems still persist then do the following:

• Remove the Print Cartridge (See chapter 4).

Clean the nozzles with a soft cotton cloth. Use a dry cloth or one moistened with water to clean the ink jet cartridge.

• Remove problem print cartridge and install a

new print cartridge.

Appendix C  PCL Command Codes

Introduction

The 9K-L Address Printer emulates the listed PCL 5 printer command codes. The 9K-L 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 address printer menu selections as fonts, print quality, etc. so customized address formats can be created.

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 cusor 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 3300 Dots

To utilize the 9K-L 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.

Software Setup

Generic Software Driver Information

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

Dumb Printer Generic Printer Typewriter Plain Vanilla Teletype TTYCRLF Printer TTYCR Printer (This requires the Setup Menu CR = CR + LF option to be turned on)

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 DOS Text Printer

Don't forget to 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 printer ports or parameter settings may vary from the preceding

MODE command examples. If using DOS version 5.0, a ,,B may be substituted for the ,,P)
