Feeding Method
NOTES: 1. When using friction feed:
Use the paper tension unit.
Do not use fanfold paper.
Do not perform any reverse paper feed operations within the top 8.5 mm and bottom
22 mm area of the paper.
Do not perform reverse feed beyond than 1/6 inches after the paper end has been
detected.
Do not use multi-part, single-sheet forms.
2. When using tractor feed:
Release the friction feed mechanism.
Multiple copies for printing must be finished by pasting them together at the line or dots.
Copy paper must be a carbonless multi-part paper.
a) When using push tractor feed:
Use the paper tension unit.
Friction feed
Tractor feed (push: standard, pull: optional)
1-3
REV.-A
Do not perform reverse feeding for more than 1/6 inches.
Because accuracy of paper feed cannot be assured, do not perform reverse feeding
after the paper end has been detected.
b) When using pull tractor feed:
Remove the paper tension unit and mount the pull tractor unit.
Use the paper path when a single sheet is inserted.
c) When using push-pull tractor feed:
Remove the paper tension unit and mount the pull tractor unit.
Do not loosen the paper between the platen and the pull sprocket.
Precisely the horizontal position of the pull sprocket and push tractor.
Do not perform reverse feeding for more than 1/6”.
. Do not perform reverse feeding after the paper end has been detected.

When the number of bytes remaining in the input buffer
reaches 256 or less, the signal level goes to MARK, or a X-OFF code is sent out to the host computer. This indicates that the printer is not ready to receive data.

1.6 HEXADECIMAL DUMP FUNCTION
In hexadecimal dump mode, the printer prints out the data it prints a column of 16 hexadecimal values, folIowed by a column containing the 16 corresponding ASCII characters. If there is no corresponding printable character for a value (e.g., a control code, such as a carriage return or line feed), a period (. ) is printed in the ASCII column in the position of the code. Each line of the dump contains 16 values, printed in the order they were received, and any remaining data (less than 16 values on the final line) can be printed by operating the ON-LINE switch. Table 1-21 shows the hexadecimal dump operation and Figure 1-14 shows printout of the operation.

1.7 PRINTER INITIALIZATION
There are two initialization methods: hardware initialization and software initialization.
1.7.1 Hardware Initialization
This type of initialization occurs when printer power is turned on or when the printer receives the INIT
signal from the host via the 8-bit parallel interface.
When printer is initialized in this way, it performs the following actions:
Initializes printer mechanism
Clears downloaded character set
Clears the input data buffer
Clears the image buffer
Sets printer selections to their default values
1.7.2 Software Initialization
This type of initialization occurs when the printer receives command
WhiSin
the printer is initialized in this way, it performes the fo~owing actions:
Clears the image buffer
Sets
NOTE: The printer’s default values are as follows:
Page Position Left and Right Margin Line Spacing Vertical Tab Position
Horizontal Tab Position
VFU Channel
Family Number of Type Style Roman (Family Number O)

1.8 BUZZER OPERATION AND ERROR CONDITIONS
This section describes the buzzer operation and error conditions of the printer.
1.8.1 Buzzer Operation
The buzzer ring as follows: . When a BEL code is sent to the printer, the buzzer sounds for 0.5 seconds . When an error has occurred
Carriage Trouble:
Paper End:
When a panel setting is accepted, the buzzer sounds for 0.1 seconds (Refer to Section 1.9.4 for further
information concerning control panel settings.)
1.8.2 Error Conditions
If any of the following errors occur, the printer automatically enters the OFF-LINE mode.
Home position is not detected at printer mechanism initialization.
Home position
The OFF-LINE switch is pressed, causing the printer to enter OFF-LINE mode.
Paper-out is detected when forms-override is finished.
A paper-out signal is detected and forms-override is finished.
A paper-out signal is detected after the printer has performed a paper-loading operation with the
cut sheet feeder enabled.
For information concerning the status of the interface signals, refer to Section 2.3.2.
Sounds 5 times (rings for 0.5 seconds with 0.5 seconds interval.) Sounds 3 times (rings for 0.1 seconds with 0.1 seconds interval.)
is detected during printing.
