PREFACE
This manual shows
the
operator
how
the
TermiNet Printers are operated. Sections 1 through 5
describe what
the
controls and indicators do,
the
operation
of
the
keyboard,
the
loading
of
paper
and ribbon, and
other
information pertaining
to
the
operation and care-of
the
TermiNet Printer.
Because of
the
many communication systems
that
exist, no
attempt
is
made
to
show
how
the
TermiNet Printer may be used
in
a specific system. Consult your supervisor
or
application
specialist for special instructions on how
to
use
the
TermiNet Printer with
your
communications
system. Section 6
is
primarily for
the
application specialist who must know certain operating
characteristics
of
the
TermiNet Printer
in
order
to
understand how it should operate
in
your
communications system.
This manual covers
both
the
TermiNet
300
and 1200 Printers. Information
that
pertains only
to
a
specific model Printer
will be identified.
The term
"jumper"
will appear occasionally in
the
following text. Basically,
the
removal or
installation of a jumper
is
an optional wiring change
that
will change particular operating
characteristics of
the
TermiNet Printer. Most jumpers can be installed and removed by a TermiNet
Printer serviceman
at
the
TermiNet Printer site.
Because many TermiNet Printer
problems are simple and can be easily avoided
or
corrected
by
the
operator, read Section 5, "TAKING CARE OF YOUR TermiNet PRINTER," before calling for
service. You may avoid an unnecessary interruption
of
your
operation and an unnecessary service
call.
In
most
cases,
the
word
"Printer"
will be used instead
of 11TermiNet Printer" in
the
following text.

Introduction
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
Your TermiNet Printer
is
a high speed data
communications
printer
used primarily for
communicating with computer systems or
other
printers. The TermiNet Printer
is
compact for
operation
on
a desk
top
or
on
its optional Pedestal.
Operation
is
quiet compared
to
similar equipment.
The Printer can print and transmit information
that
is
received from its keyboard or from an external source
(for
example, a paper
tape
reader).
NOTE
For convenience, reference
to
the TermiNet
Printer,
in
most cases, will be "Printer".
Your Printer
will be one of
two
basic models; the
TermiNet
300
or TermiNet
1200
Printer (Figures
1-1
and 1-2). The TermiNet
300
and 1200 Printers print
maximum speeds of
30
and 120 characters per second
respectively.
The
KSR
(Keyboard, Send, and Receive) version of
the Printer has a keyboard similar
to
a standard office
typewriter. The
KSR
Printer can
print
and transmit
information generated
locally by the keyboard or a
local device (e.g., paper tape reader}.
It can receive
and print information from a remote terminal,
computer, or
other
communication device. ·
NOTE
When a
KSR
Printer
is
combined with a
recording and reading device such as a paper
tape punch and reader,
the
combined
configuration
is
normally called an ASR.
The SR (Send and Receive) version of
the
Printer has
no keyboard. The
SR Printer operates similar
to
the
KSR
except for
the
absence of the keyboard.
The
RO
(Receive Only) version
of
the Printer has no
keyboard and can print received information only.
Although this manual
is
written primarily for the
KSR
Printer,
the
SR and
RO
Printers operate
in
a
similar manner except for
the
major differences
previously explained.
The
general operating characteristics of the TermiNet
Printer are
as
follows:
PRINTABLE
CHARACTERS
All
of
the
94
printable characters
in
the
American
Standard Code for
Information Interchange (ASCII)
can
be
printed by the TermiNet Printer.
PRINTING SPEEDS
300
Printer,
the
standard
front
panel
RA
TE
switch
will select speeds
of
10, 15, and
30
characters per second (cps). An optional
speed
of
20
cps
is
available
as
a substitute for
one of the standard speeds.
1200 Printer, the standard
front
panel RATE
switch
will select speeds of
10;
30, or
120
characters per second. Optional speeds of 15,
20
or
60
cps are available
as
a substitute for
one
of the standard speeds.
HORIZONTAL CHARACTER SPACING
10 characters per inch (2.5 cm).
VERTICAL LINE SPACING
6 lines per inch (2.5 cm) with the LINE SPACE
switch in the
11111
position. 3 lines per inch (5.1 cm)
with
the
LINE SPACE switch
in
the
"2''
position.
PRINT LINE LENGTHS
300
Printer - 75,
80
or 118 print positions.
1200 Printer -
80
or 120 print positions.
COPY
The Printer
is
capable of handling up
to
a six-part
form set with a maximum form set thickness of
0.025
11
(0.64 mm). Recommended paper weights are:
1 part
2, 3 or 4
part

the
forms tractor
assembly setting above and just behind the
paper shield by loosening the knurled knob
located behind each tractor.

to
line up with the paper width being used. Lock
tractors
in
this position by tightening the two
knurled knobs.
d. Open the covers
on
the
tractors and fit the
holes in
the
edges of the paper over the
tractor pins
as
illustrated in Figure 2-6.
e.
Close covers
on
the
tractors and rotate platen
with
the
Platen Knob until
the
paper
is
over
the
top
of the external paper rack.
f.
