Note:
Most so ftware programs control the character table and auto line
feed. If your software program controls these features, you may
never n eed to set them with the control panel.
Default settin g s descriptions
Character table
Character tables contain the charact ers and symbols used by
different languages. The printer prints text with the selected
character table. When you select this fe at ure, t he fo nt l ight s
on the control panel go on or off to indicate the current
selection.
Auto print direction
When auto print direction is set to on, the printer switches
automatically between bidirectional (for text data) and
unidirectio n al m otion (for graphics dat a). When this featur e
is set to off, the print head motion is controlled by your
software.
Continuous-paper page length
When you are print ing on continuous paper, this feature lets
you select from four page lengths.
Skip-over-perforation
When this feature is on and you are using continuous pape r,
the printer leaves a 1- inch (25.4-mm) ma rgin between the last
printable line on one page and the first pri n table line on the
next page. This causes the pri nter to skip over the perforation
between continuous sheets.
Most software takes care of the top and bottom margins. Do
not turn on skip-over- perforation unless your software does
not provide these margins.
Adjust your top-of-form position with the micro-feed feature
to get half of the margin at the bottom of one page and half at
the top of the next page.
Network interface mode
If your printer is connected to a single computer, leave this
feature off. If you want to use the printer in a network
environment and share it among mul ti ple computers, set this
featur e t o on.
Note:
When this feature is set to on, data may be present in the printer’s
buffer even though the printer is not continuously printing.
DATA
Always make sure the
printer.
light is off before turning off the
Mixed text/graphics mode
This feature is fo r sof t ware that has problem s printing
scalable font text combined with graphi cs. Leav e t he m ix ed
text/graphics mode set to off if you do not notice any
problems in your printout.
Auto line feed
When the auto line feed feature is on, each carriage return
(CR) code is accompanied by a line feed (LF) co de. If your
printed text is unex pectedly double-spaced, set this feature to
off. If text lines print on top of each other, set it to on.
Auto interface selection
This feature is necessary when an optional interface c ard is
installed and interface cables are connected to both the
parallel interface and the optional i nt erface card.
When this feature is on, the printer determines which
interface receives data and then switches to th at in te rfa ce
until the end of the print job (when no data is received fr om
the selected interface for the amount of time specified by the
Auto interface wait time). Usually, you should set this
featu r e to on.
When this feature is set to off, the printer receives data only
from the interface specified by th e DIP switch on the optional
interface card.
Auto interface wait time
This feature is necessary when the auto interface selection
is set to on. If the data from the computer is not sent within
the specified period, the printer re-determ ines the source of
any new data. Otherwise, the printer receives data only from
the currently select ed interface and ignor es dat a fr om t he
other interface. You can set the ti m e to eith er 10 seconds or
30 seconds.
Tear off
You can set this feature on to select tear-off mode. Use the
tear-off feature only with continuous paper. Do not use the
tear-off feature wi th labels.

Tips for Using the Paper Feeder
Following the tips below will give you the best perf or mance
when printing with the paper f eeder.
❏ Load paper into th e pap er feeder before you turn on the
printer and send da ta . W hen t he printer receives data
from the computer, it loads a single sheet automatically
and begins to print.
❏ If the printer runs out of paper during a print job, reload
the paper feeder and then press the LOAD/EJECT button
to continue pr int ing.
❏ Press the LOAD/EJECT button if you need to eject a sheet
of loaded paper.
❏ You can switch to manual loading or to the optional push
tractor witho ut rem ovi ng the paper suppl y fro m the
paper feeder.
❏ You can adju st the loading and print positions with the
printer’s micro feed feature.
❏ Because most software programs take car e of the t op and
bottom margins, you should usually adjust the margins
by using your programs, taking the print er’ s def ault
loading position into account.
❏ The default page length for paper loaded from the paper
feeder is 61 lines (letter -si ze pap e r) and 65 lines (A4-size
paper). You can change it using your software program or
printer commands, if necessary.
❏ If the ink does not dry fast enough, try removing sheets
one at a time as they finish printing.
Adjusting the Loading Position
The loading position is the position of the paper when the
printer loads it. If printing is too high or lo w o n th e page,
change the loading po sitio n with the micro-feed feature.
1. Make sure the printer is t urned on.
2. Load a sheet of paper from the paper feeder by pressing the

Printer Care
Replacing the Ink Cartridge

in the ink cartridge is low. The printer contin ues printing
until the cartridge is completely empt y. When it is out of ink,
the printer stops and the INK O UT light stays on. Printing will
not resume un ti l you insert a new cartridge.

preserve the life of the print head. Other br ands of ink may
clog the print head or damage it.

the button when the print head moves to the ink cartridge
replace position.
3. Pull the ink cartrid ge clamp toward y ou to release t he
cartridge. (The clamp pushes the ink cartridge up so it is
easy to grasp.)
3. Pull the paper out gently. If the paper tears, make sure you
remove any remaining pieces.
4. If the paper is caught in the paper ejection area, gently pull
it out of the printer.
5. Push the access panel back onto the rear of the pri n te r.
When loading continuous paper, replace the push tractor.

Preventing paper feed and paper jam problems
If you have frequent paper feed or paper jam problems, refer
to this checklist of corrective measures:
❏ Use a higher-quality paper, one that is not too thin or
rough. Some types of paper require ma nual feeding.
❏ Fan the stack of paper and then tap it on an edge to align
it before you load it.
❏ Be sure that you do no t lo ad too much paper in the pa per
feeder.
❏ Try turning the stack of paper over in the paper feeder.
Most packag es of paper indicate the best side to print on
with an arrow on the end of the package. Make sure the
best side is loaded face down.
4. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it properly.
Do not take the used cart ridge apart or try to refill it.
Warning:
w
The ink cartridge is self-contained to prevent leaks. However,
if ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soapy
water. If ink gets on your hands, flush them immediately with
water.
5. See “Installing the Ink Cartridge” for step-by-step
instructions on installing the new cartridge.
Note:
When you re pla ce the cartridge, the printer will not r echarge
the ink deliv ery system again. However, the print head may
start moving as the printer perf orms normal main te nance
procedures . This can take up to 40 seconds to complete.
