Introduction

The FX-286 printer combines the versatility and reliability of pre-

vious FX printers with a wide range of exciting new features.

l The Near Letter Quality typestyle or draft mode can be selected

with the touch of a button-there are no codes to learn.

l For even greater typestyle variety, there’s SelecType, a feature that

works with almost all applications programs and can be set with the touch of a button to choose over two dozen different styles.

l When using an IBM PC or compatible, you can set the FX-286 to

print in either the Epson mode or the IBM Proprinter mode. One

setting gives you all the Epson commands and the Epson character set, the other gives you the IBM Proprinter commands and character set.

l An 8K buffer quickly frees your computer so you can work on one

document while printing another.

l And, of course, the FX-286 also has the many features that have

made previous FX printers so popular, including a fast print speed of 200 characters per second, both friction- and tractor-feed paper loading, and Master Select for instant access to a variety of typestyles.

Using this manual

To make it easier to set up your new FX-286, this manual includes a ten-step guide to setting up your printer. These steps take you from unpacking, through ribbon and paper loading, to printing your first document.

Easy-to-read tabs make it simple to find information, for beginners

or experienced users. Additional sections provide information on

using your new printer with word processors, creating graphics,

defining your own characters, and more.

Intro-1

Chapter 1

Setting Up the

Setting up your new FX-286 is easy. Follow the steps in this chapter to ensure that your FX-286 is properly unpacked, located, and ready for operation.

FX-286

Unpacking Your Printer

Be careful when unpacking your printer to make sure that you

don’t lose any necessary pieces.

First, remove the printer from the box and take off all outside plastic coverings and foam packing supports. Check that you’ve received all the parts shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1. Printer parts

1-1

Once you’ve confirmed that you’ve received all the necessary parts,

remove the sheet of paper wrapped around the printer’s platen (the

black roller). This sheet of paper protects the paper-out sensor during

shipping, so be sure to replace it if you ship or store your printer.

Tilt the dust cover up and remove the two foam pads on the underside of the cover. (The pads protect the pin-feed holders on the tractor unit during shipping, so be sure to save them.)

There is also a clear plastic overlay on the control panel to protect against scratching and discoloration. It’s up to you whether you want to remove the overlay or leave it on.

Installing the paper feed knob

Before proceeding, you should install the paper feed knob. To install the knob, simply push it onto the shaft on the right side of the printer, as shown in Figure 1-2. The shaft has one flat side that must be matched with the flat side of the hole in the knob.

Figure 1-2. Installing the paper feed knob

Selecting the Right Location

The most important consideration in choosing a location for your printer is that it be close enough to connect a cable to your computer. But also keep the following tips in mind:

1-2

l Place the printer on a solid foundation. Avoid setting it on carpet,

chairs, or unstable surfaces.

l Use a grounded outlet; don’t use an adapter plug.

Avoid using electrical outlets that are controlled by wall switches—

if you accidentally turn off a switch, you could wipe out valuable information and stop your printing.

l Keep your printer and computer away from base units for cordless

telephones.

l Avoid using an outlet on the same circuit breaker with large electri-

cal machines or appliances that might disrupt the flow of power to your printer.

l Protect your printer from direct sunlight, and keep it away from

excessive heat, moisture, and dust. Make sure it’s not too close to a heater or other heat source.

Once you’ve found a suitable location, look over the following

illustrations to familiarize yourself with the FX-286.

Figure 1-3. Front view of FX-286

1-3

Figure 1-4. Rear view of FX-286

Installing the Ribbon

Before installing the ribbon and loading the paper, you should remove the dust cover to allow easier access to the printer. The next time you install a ribbon or load paper, you can leave the cover on.

To remove the dust cover, tilt it up and hold it by the left and right corners. Pull up on the left corner and the cover comes off the printer. (Only the left side of the cover is slotted where it attaches to the mounting pins on the printer case.)

Now you’re ready to install the ribbon,

1. Manually move the print head to the middle of the platen.

WARNING

The power must be OFF when moving the print head. Moving

the print head when the power is ON may damage your

printer. If you’ve been using your printer just before changing

the ribbon cartridge, be careful not to touch the print head because it becomes hot during use.

3. Hold the ribbon cartridge by the two plastic tabs on top of the

cartridge case. Lower the cartridge into the printer, guiding the two square pins on each end of the cartridge into the slots in the printer frame, as shown in Figure 1-6. Press firmly on each end of the cartridge to make sure the pins are firmly seated in the slots.

1-6

Figure 1-6. Loading the ribbon cartridge

4. The ribbon should slide between the silver ribbon guide and the print head. If it doesn’t, you can guide the ribbon into place using the point of a pencil, as shown in Figure 1-7. (You can also refer to the diagram on the top of the ribbon cartridge.)

Figure 1-7. Positioning the ribbon

With the cartridge in place, again turn the ribbon knob in the direc-

5. tion of the arrow to tighten the ribbon.

And that’s it-the ribbon is now installed.

Replacing the ribbon...

The FX-286 uses a continuous-loop, inked fabric ribbon. When printing becomes too light, you'll need to replace the ribbon with a fresh cartridge. To replace the ribbon, just pull up on the two plastic tabs on top of the cartridge and lift the cartridge out of the printer. To install a new ribbon, follow the preceding steps.

Loading Continuous-feed Paper

ous-feed paper, set up your FX-286 where the paper can flow freely in and out of the printer.

If you plan to use the installed tractor feed unit and continu-

1-7

There are many types of printer stands you can use, such as the one shown in Figure 1-8. Or you can use any other arrangement that allows you to put the paper underneath or behind the printer. If you prefer, you can stack the paper behind the printer as shown in Figure

1-9.

Figure 1-8. Continuous-feed paper with printer stand

1-8

Figure 1-9. Continuous-feed paper without stand

The tractor unit is adjustable to accommodate paper widths from 4 to 14 7/8 inches. To load continuous-feed paper, follow these instructions:

1. Make sure that the printer is turned OFF.

2. Move the print head to the center of the printer and pull the paper bail away from the platen.

3. Remove the two plastic locking tabs that secure the tractor feed unit during shipping, as shown in Figure 1-10. (If you have difficulty pulling the tabs off, a pair of pliers might help.) Keep the tabs in case you need to ship or store the printer.

Figure 1-10. Removing the locking tabs from the tractor unit

1-9

4. Using Figure 1-11 as a guide, pull the locking levers on the pinfeed holders forward so that you can move the holders to the left and right.

Figure 1-11, Moving the pin-feed holders

5. Position the left holder midway between the two stops on the tractor bar (see Figure 1-11) and push the locking lever back to lock that holder in place. Leave the right holder unlocked.

7. Guide the paper into the paper slot, and push it through until it comes up between the ribbon guide and the platen. (Moving the paper with a side-to-side motion makes it easier to push the paper

through.)

1-11

8. Slide the two paper supports on the tractor unit, spacing them evenly along the width of the paper as shown in Figure

1-13.

Loading single-sheet paper…

The FX-286 can also accommodate single-sheet paper. It can be

loaded manually as shown in Appendix B or by using the optional cut

sheet feeder. Appendix B also contains information on how to remove

and reinstall the tractor feed unit. The extra cover that comes packaged with the FX-286 is for use with single-sheet paper or the optional cut sheet feeder.

1-13

Installing the paper separator

Once you’ve loaded paper into the FX-286 and are familiar with the steps, you can attach the plastic paper separator that comes packaged in the cardboard enclosure. The separator ensures that the paper coming out of the printer is not pulled back in.

The separator has rounded pins on each end that fit into notches located just behind the tractor feed unit. Slide one of the separator’s pins into one notch, then with a gentle pressure, snap the other pin into the other notch as shown in Figure 1-15.

• The three green lights on the control panel-POWER, READY, and ON LINE-go on. (The red PAPER OUT light does not go on unless

the printer is out of paper.)

Operating the Control Panel

ure 1-17) has two functions-the functions marked on the blue panels

(ON LINE, NLQ, and DRAFT) are active when the printer is on line; the functions marked on the yellow panels (OFF LINE, FORM FEED, and LINE FEED) are active when the printer is off line.

Each of the three buttons on the FX-286 control panel (see Fig-

1-16

Figure 1-17. The FX-286 control panel

OFF LINE/ON LINE

OFF LINE-If you press the ON LINE button when the green light above it is on, the ON LINE and READY lights go off and the printer is set off line-the power is still on but the FX-286 won’t print. The FORM FEED and LINE FEED functions work only when the printer is off line.

ON LINE-The green ON LINE light indicates that the printer is on

line and ready to receive data. If the READY light is also on, the FX-286 is ready to print (if it’s connected to a computer). You may notice that the READY light flickers when the FX-286 is printing, but

this is normal. When the FX-286 is on line, you can select either NLQ

(Near Letter Quality) or draft modes.

FORM FEED/NLQ

FORM FEED--Pressing the FORM FEED button advances the paper

to the top of the next page if you’re using continuous-feed paper (see

Step 7, “Setting the Top-of-Page Position”). If you’re using single-sheet

paper, it fully ejects one sheet. The FORM FEED function works only

when the printer is off line.

NLQ (Near Letter Quality&--Pressing the NLQ button selects the

Near Letter Quality typestyle (for more information on NLQ; see the

shaded box). The printer beeps twice to acknowledge the NLQ selec-

tion. You can select the NLQ typestyle with the NLQ button only

when the printer is on line.

LINE FEED/DRAFT

LlNE FEED--Pressing the LINE FEED button advances the paper one

line at a time, either while you’re loading paper, or when you’re

adjusting where you want printing to begin. If you hold the LINE FEED button down, the paper advances continuously. The LINE FEED function works only when the printer is off line.

DRAFT-Pressing the DRAFT button selects the draft typestyle. The printer beeps once to acknowledge the draft selection. The draft mode is also the default setting for the FX-286, so every time you turn the printer on, it’s set to print in the draft mode. The DRAFT button works only when the printer is on line.

1-17

The NLQ mode...

In addition to the draft mode, the FX-286 has a high-quality NLQ (Near Letter Quality) mode. As explained in Chapter 4, dot-matrix characters are made up of many tiny dots. The NLQ characters are more fully formed than the draft ones because they are made up of more dots. You can see the difference in the printouts below.

Epson Mode

This is printed in draft mode.

IBM Proprinter Made

This is printed in draft mode.

This is printed in NLQ mode.

The increased number of dots does slow the printing somewhat. Therefore, the FX-286 lets you choose high speed or high quality each time you print. You can print your ordinary work or preliminary drafts quickly in the draft mode and use the NLQ -mode for final cop-

ies or special purposes.

The panel buttons make it especially easy to change from draft to NLQ, but you can also select and cancel the NLQ mode with a software command (see Chapter 5). The following functions are not

available in the Epson NLQ mode: italic, condensed, double-strike, elite, and proportional. Italic, condensed, and double-strike are not available in the IBM Proprinter NLQ mode. (Proportional is not

available at all in the IBM mode.)

Setting the Top-of-Page Position

and turned the power on, you need to establish a top-of-page position so that the printed pages end where you want them to and do not cross over a perforation between pages.
