Chapter 1. Printer Overview

This section provides a general overview of your printer and the conventions used within this manual.

The InfoPrint 6500 Printer Family

The InfoPrint Solutions Company's InfoPrint 6500 series consist of 500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 lines per minute (lpm) models and are packaged in various configurations. All of the models offer software versatility and the latest refinements in line matrix printing technology. The print mechanisms are housed in sound-insulated cabinets which make the printer family among the quietest printers in the world. Additionally, your printer has a flexible architecture that allows you to add new features and emulations as they become available.

ASCII is the standard emulation. ASCII includes the Epson FX-1050, Printronix pSeries, pSeries XQ, Serial Matrix and Proprinter III XL emulations. Coax/Twinax, IPDS , ANSI and the IGP/PGL and IGP/VGL graphics enhancement emulations are available as optional upgrades. No matter what emulation is installed, your printer is easy to use. The message display and lights on the control panel communicate with you directly and clearly. You can select every function on your printer at the control panel, or you can send commands from the host computer.

The printer combines the use of Flash, RAM, and nonvolatile RAM for program execution. The Flash is used for all program, font, and emulation storage. New fonts, emulations, or program updates can be downloaded to Flash memory via the parallel or serial interface, or through the Ethernet interface. The RAM is used for buffers, print image storage, and execution variables. The nonvolatile RAM stores configuration, statistics, and internal parameters.

RibbonMinder

The InfoPrint 6500 has a new feature that automatically monitors and communicates ribbon life. Using a specially barcoded spool, the printer can automatically detect when a new or used ribbon is loaded, and all ribbon properties. With a sophisticated algorithm, the system monitors all jobs printed and automatically updates the remaining ribbon life on the front panel display. This allows the system administrator to have precise control over print quality and consumable costs. The accurate presentation of available ribbon life allows for efficient planning of print jobs. For example, you can install a new ribbon before printing large print jobs.

When the ribbon life gets near the end point, the printer displays a ribbon low message and flashes the indicator light. Printing will continue without interruption. Once the ribbon reaches 0% remaining, the alarm sounds, the indicator light flashes, the display updates, and printing pauses. If a new ribbon is loaded, the system automatically detects the change, clears the condition, and restarts the life at 100%. If it is not convenient to change the ribbon immediately, cycle the printer on and offline and it will resume printing for a few minutes. This should be enough to complete the job. If not, repeat the same procedure indefinitely to extend printing on the same ribbon.

Output Darkness

By default the system is configured to meet most user requirements. However, some applications require that the output remains darker than the nominal set point while some applications are less critical and could tolerate a lighter final image. The system can easily adjust to this variability. A setting under Printer Control, Ribbon End Point is available that allows the user to adjust the final output. The range is as follows:

Lighter −4 (Default) Darker +1 through +6 Normal Lighter −1 through −10

The ribbon life indicator always cycles between 100% and 0%, but if a darker setting is selected, zero will be reached more quickly. If a lighter setting is selected, the system will extend the amount of printing it takes to reach zero.

Ribbon Flipping

In some cases, the application’s print pattern is narrow enough where only half of the ribbon is used when printing. In these cases, you can flip the ribbon and use the other half. The RibbonMinder detects the flip and resets the ribbon life to 100%.

Note: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the print pattern is sufficiently

narrow to support flipping. If not, the ribbon life may falsely indicate 100% for the flipped ribbon.

Chapter 1. Printer Overview 3

Loading a Used Ribbon

You can take ribbons off the printer and reload it at a later time. The ribbon life gauge automatically updates to reflect the correct remaining capacity.

Note: The ribbon must be reloaded back onto the same printer, and in the same

orientation as it was removed. If the used ribbon is loaded onto a different printer, or if it is flipped over, it will incorrectly indicate the ribbon as new.

Ribbon Log

The RibbonMinder tracks all used ribbons. This data allows you to monitor how many ribbons and ribbon types have been used on the printer. This data is contained in the ribbon log. To print the ribbon log, see “Print Ribbon Log” on page 189.

Consumable Monitoring With The Printer Management Utility

The RibbonMinder works with the Printer Management Utility (PMU). The PMU allows a system administrator to remotely view the current consumable status of all printers. The PMU can be configured to deliver alerts on all consumable warnings. When a ribbon reaches the low state, the PMU notifies the system administrator remotely via an automated e-mail alert of the low condition. This allows corrective action to be taken before the ribbon reaches its end of life. If the ribbon is not changed, an alert will again be initiated once the ribbon reaches the 0% end point. Refer to your Printer Management Utility User's Manual for details.

Printer Emulations

Each emulation provides a different set of configuration menus, control codes, and character sets. The following printer emulations (or protocols) are standard, and selectable at the operator panel:

v Proprinter III XL Emulation

v Epson FX Emulation

v pSeries Printer Emulation

v pSeries XQ Variant Printer Emulation

v Serial Matrix Printer Emulation

Proprinter III XL and Epson FX Emulations: The Proprinter III XL and Epson FX emulations are industry standard printer emulations.

pSeries Printer Emulation: This code system was developed especially for line matrix printers. As line matrix printers became more sophisticated, this code system kept pace by adding codes that fully utilized line matrix printer capabilities.

IMPORTANT: This emulation appears as “pSeries” on the operator panel.

pSeries XQ Variant Printer Emulation: This code system was devised for a series

of printers manufactured between 1974 and 1991, that are no longer available.

IMPORTANT: This emulation appears as “pSeries XQ” on the operator panel.

Serial Matrix Printer Emulation: This printer emulation is very similar to the

code systems used by an InfoPrint Graphics Printer, but incorporates several systems into one emulation. This emulation enables a line matrix printer to print files coded for a serial matrix printer, and is sometimes referred to as the Serial Matrix collection.

Chapter 1. Printer Overview 5

IMPORTANT: This emulation appears as “Serial Matrix” on the operator panel.

Note: Serial matrix refers to the way printer characters are formed. A moving

printhead uses pins to form whole characters one at a time and one after the other. The pins print dots according to programmed matrix patterns. Data is sent to the printer through either a serial or parallel interface, but the printhead must receive the data serially to form each character.

An InfoPrint line matrix printer also forms characters with dots in matrix patterns, but it feeds print data in parallel to many hammers mounted on a rapidly oscillating shuttle. The hammers fire simultaneously to print entire lines at a time.

Output Control

The printers have the following output control features:

v Six modes for printing text:

– Near-Letter Quality (NLQ)

– Near-Letter Quality San Serif

– Data Processing (DP)

– Draft

– Optical Character Recognition Font A (OCR A)

– Optical Character Recognition Font B (OCR B)

OCR A and OCR B support 120 and 180 PEL, with 120 PEL the default value.

v Selectable forms length and width

v Character attribute specification:

– Selectable pitch: normal, expanded, and compressed

– Emphasized (shadow) printing

– Automatic underlining and overscoring

– Superscript and subscript printing

– Double high and wide printing

v Resident multinational character sets

This is an implementation of the Intelligent Graphics Processor architecture and is used commonly to create graphics for optical character recognition and bar codes. This feature is also designed for those applications which use the Quality Micro Systems, Inc. graphics language, which is often referred to as the QMS Code V Magnum emulation and those applications that use the Code V Graphics Language. The Code V Graphics Language is often referred to as VGL.

v IGP:

This is an implementation of Intelligent Graphics Processor architecture and is used commonly to create graphics for optical character recognition and bar codes. This feature is also designed for those applications which use the Graphics Language, which is often referred to as PGL.

This feature can coexist with the Intelligent Printer Data Stream feature, and/or with either Coax/Twinax feature or can be used on the ASCII models.

v TN5250/TN3270 Emulations:

The TN5250/TN3270 feature enables your printer to communicate with a host system through a Network Interface Card (NIC) using the 5250/3270 datastream. This feature allows you to use an application generated for the Twinax/Coax emulation to be printed through the NIC.

Users who are converting from Twinax to TN5250 may see some differences. Please refer to “Compatibility and Limitations” on page 268 for details.

v ANSI Emulation:

The ANSI option allows you to print files coded for the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) printer control language.

v Power Paper Stacker:

Mechanically directs the paper from the printer to the paper stacking area. This feature provides consistent paper handling with fewer paper jam errors.

v Input Paper Shelf:

Pedestal model only. Provides a shelf to hold a box of paper or forms. This is a convenient feature if you need to move the printer often.

v Pull Out Tray:

Cabinet model only. A tent tray to hold printed papers or forms that you can pull out for accessibility.

v Wireless:

An embedded wireless Ethernet Interface card that allows you to attach printers on a local area network (LAN) rather than attaching them directly to a host system.

Protocols and Emulations

A protocol is a set of rules governing the exchange of information between the printer and its host computer. These rules consist of codes that manipulate and print data and allow for machine-to-machine communication. A printer and its host computer must use the same protocol. As used in this manual, protocol and emulation mean the same thing.

Most impact printers are single ASCII character codes to print text, numbers, and punctuation marks. Some characters, both singularly and in groups are defined as control codes. Control codes instruct the printer to perform specific functions, such as underlining text, print subscripts, setting page margins, etc. The main difference between most printer protocols is in the characters used to create control codes and the ways in which these characters are formatted.

When the printer executes the character and control codes of a particular printer protocol, it is “emulating” that printer. If the printer uses the Proprinter III XL protocol, for example, it is emulating an IBM Proprinter III XL printer. If the printer is using the Epson FX printer protocol, for example, we can also say it is in Epson FX emulation mode.

There are additional emulations that are provided as optional features, such the Code V and IGP emulations. For additional information, refer to “Code V Feature (VGL)” on page 156 and “IGP Feature (PGL)” on page 150.

Graphics Enhancements

The PGL and Code V emulations allow you to create and store forms, generate logos, bar codes, expanded characters, and create other graphics. Alphanumeric and bar code data are added as the form is printed.

These emulations are available as factory-installed or field-installed options. For more information, contact your authorized service representative.

Chapter 1. Printer Overview 9

Taking Care of Your Printer

Your printer will produce high print quality jobs if it is well taken care of. Periodic cleaning, handling the printer properly, and using the correct printer supplies such as paper and ink transport media ensures optimum performance. Chapter 7, “Routine Service and Diagnostics” explains how to clean the printer, and printer supplies are listed in Appendix A, “Printer Specifications,” on page 251.

Whenever it is necessary to service the printer, remember this important maintenance concept.

v Incorrect closure of the forms thickness lever can lead to smearing, degraded

print quality, paper jams, and damage to the platen and shuttle assembly. Never close the forms thickness lever too tightly.

Chapter 3. Configuring the Printer

IMPORTANT: Configuration directly affects printer operation. Do not try to

change the configuration of your printer until you are thoroughly familiar with the procedures in this section.

Overview

To print data, the printer must respond correctly to signals and commands received from the host computer. Configuration is the process of matching the printer operating characteristics to those of the host computer and to specific tasks, such as printing labels, or printing on different sizes of paper. The characteristics that define the printer response to signals and commands received from the host computer are called configuration parameters.

You can configure the printer by pressing operator panel keys or by sending control codes from the host computer. This chapter explains how to use the operator panel to change individual parameters and save them as a custom configuration.

Your programmers reference manuals provide information about control codes.

The Configurations

A configuration consists of a group of parameters, such as line spacing and forms length. Your printer contains the following configurations:

v Four preloaded configurations that have been customized for printer setup.

v The factory default configuration. It can be loaded, but it cannot be altered.

v Four configurations that you can customize for unique print job requirements.

The process of creating customized configurations is explained in “Changing Parameters” on page 30.

Active Versus Saved Configurations

When you change a parameter value, it is active as long as the printer is on or until it is changed again. This is true whether you use the operator panel or send a control code from the host. Parameter values defined by control codes override the active operator panel parameters when the printer is using any of the parallel or serial interfaces. For example, if you set the line spacing to 6 lpi with the operator panel, and application software later changes this to 8 lpi with a control code, the control code setting overrides the operator panel setting.

Using the operator panel, you can save the parameters as a customized configuration that is stored in nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM). A saved configuration is not lost when you power off the printer.

Note: Saved configurations are also referred to as “custom sets”.

There are no control codes that allow you to save a parameter in NVRAM. However, you can save a configuration defined partially by control codes and store it in NVRAM using the operator panel. You can also save configuration values using PTR_SETUP (see “PTR Setup Option” on page 51.)

The Configuration Main Menu

Figure 7 on page 21 shows an overview of the printer configuration menus. The pages that follow describe how to enter program mode, print the current configuration, change configuration parameters, and save and load custom sets.

For specific configuration menu options and their descriptions, refer to Chapter 4, “The Configuration Menus,” on page 39.

Note: The menus that are displayed from the operator panel are determined by

the installed features.

Each feature is shipped with a document that describes the feature in detail. For more information about these documents, see the “Related Documents” section on page xiv.

Using the Operator Panel

This section provides numerous examples of how to use the operator panel keys and indicator message display to configure the printer.

Figure 9. The Operator Panel

The operator panel is shown above. A physically common (but electrically different) operator control panel is used for both cabinet and pedestal models.

During the configuration process, you will use the

SCROLL/MICRO , ENTER, and RETURN keys on the operator panel to access configuration settings and diagnostic tests via the configuration menus. As you access menus and options, menu names and option values appear on the operator panel message display (sometimes referred to as LCD, or Liquid Crystal Display).

Message Display

An alphanumeric LCD display consists of a minimum of two rows of twenty-four characters each used to display printer status, fault messages, and menus to permit the operator to set various configurations. The display can be set to any one of the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Brazilian-Portuguese, and Polish.

Status Indicator

A high visibility light for indicating general printer status. The light is on when the printer is READY (on-line to the host), off when the printer is NOT READY (off-line), or flashes if a fault condition exists.

Control Panel Overlay

An adhesive-backed overlay is provided that adheres to the face of the control panel. Overlays are provided in the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Brazilian-Portuguese, and Polish. The overlay legends can be translated into additional languages as required.

Switch Functionality

Fourteen keys are provided for selecting and controlling printer features and options.

SCROLL/MICRO,

START

Use the START key to place the printer in the READY (on-line) state if it is off-line. Pressing Start in the Program mode exits the menus and places the printer in the READY state. After pressing View or Eject to move the print position to the tractor area, pressing the START key moves the paper back to its original print position, and places the printer in the READY state.

Chapter 3. Configuring the Printer 23

STOP Use the STOP key to place the printer in the NOT READY

(off-line) state if it is on-line. When a fault condition exists, pressing STOP clears the fault and places the printer in the NOT READY state. After pressing VIEW or EJECT to move the print position to the tractor area, pressing Stop moves the paper back to its original print position and places the printer in the NOT READY state.

The MENU key operates only in the NOT READY state and is used to display the printers control menu. Press MENU repeatedly to view the menus without changing any settings. No configuration changes can be made when the Program state is locked. To change the configuration settings, press the RETURN and ENTER keys at the same time to unlock the Program state, then press MENU. The menu is then viewed using the

SCROLL/MICRO, SCROLL/MICRO, and the RETURN and ENTER keys. When the Program state is unlocked, new values may be selected from the menus using the ENTER key.

CONFIG

(Printer configuration) The CONFIG key operates only in the NOT READY state. Pressing CONFIG prints the currently selected

configuration. Pressing the STOP key stops printing and returns to NOT READY.

RETURN

The RETURN key operates only in the NOT READY state. In the Program state, it causes the display to move to a higher level in the menu structure.

Pressing the RETURN and ENTER keys at the same time unlocks the ENTER key when in the Program state.

SCROLL/MICRO

Pressing the SCROLL/MICRO key in the READY state has no effect and returns the message “INVALID KEY PRESS”. In the NOT READY state, this key micro–steps the paper upward in 1/72 inch increments. Press and hold the key to move paper at 10 increments per second. In the MENU state, pressing

SCROLL/MICRO navigates the menu and does not move the paper.

SCROLL/MICRO

Pressing the effect and returns the message “INVALID KEY PRESS”. In the NOT READY state, this key micro–steps the paper downward in 1/72 inch increments. Press and hold the key to move paper at 10 increments per second. When in the MENU state, pressing this key navigates the menu and does not move the paper.

ENTER

The ENTER key operates only in the NOT READY state.

v In the Program state it moves the display to a lower level in the

menu structure.

v In the unlocked Program state it selects a configuration option

value.

v In the Program state it starts and stops a Print Test selected from

the Operator Print Tests menu.

SCROLL/MICRO key in the READY state has no

24 InfoPrint 6500-V User’s Manual

v In the NOT READY state pressing STOP and ENTER performs a

soft reset of the printer which resets the printer to the Power On configuration.

Pressing the ENTER and STOP keys at the same time while the printer is in the NOT READY state causes a soft reset.

Pressing the RETURN and ENTER keys at the same time unlocks the ENTER key when in the Program state.

LINE FEED

Pressing the LINE FEED key when in the NOT READY state, prints any data in the buffer and then moves the paper. Data not in the buffer is not affected. The initial paper motion is one line at the currently defined line spacing. LINE FEED repeats if the key is continually held down.

VIEW Pressing the VIEW key in the NOT READY state moves the paper

from the current print position up to the tractor area for viewing. If there is any data left in the print buffer, it is printed and then the paper moves up for viewing. Pressing VIEW a second time or pressing START or STOP returns the paper to its original print position.

FORM FEED

Pressing and releasing the FORM FEED key in the NOT READY state moves the paper to the top–of–form on the next page. If there is any data in the print buffer, it prints first and then the paper moves to the next top–of–form. Data not in the print buffer is not affected. Press the FORM FEED key in the Fault state to silence the alarm and cause the paper to move. The top–of–form setting is lost.

SET TOP OF FORM

Pressing the SET TOP OF FORM key in the NOT READY state, unless there is data in the buffer, moves the paper downward relative from the TOF alignment index to the print station and sets this position to be the top of form. Positions the TOF correctly, independent of the form length. If there is data in the buffers, this data is printed and then the printer slews to the place on the page where the printing left off.

CANCEL

Pressing the CANCEL key clears all of the data in the print buffer. This key can be disabled in the menus. The CANCEL key is not active during VIEW and EJECT operations. The CANCEL key does the following:

1. Stops printer tests in progress.

2. Cancels a print job. This operation depends on the printer

interface.

Coax Interface (non-SCS mode)

Ethernet (IPDS mode): Effective in the NOT READY state. The two forms of cancel are:

a. Full Cancel: A CANCEL command is sent to the

host requesting that the print job be cancelled and the next job in the queue be submitted for printing. This is done by pressing the CANCEL key twice. When pressed, the “059 CANCEL PRINT ACTIVE” message is displayed.

b. Clear Buffers: A Clear Buffers command is sent to

the host informing the host that the printer has cleared its buffers. At this point, the job can be restarted from any page based on the instruction from the host. This is done by pressing the CANCEL key once, then pressing the STOP key. When pressed, the “069 DATA CLEARED” message is displayed.

Serial/Parallel/Ethernet Interface

We recommend that you stop the print job from the host system before you press CANCEL. Effective in the NOT READY state. When pressed, the “069 DATA CLEARED” message is displayed.

EJECT The EJECT key has two modes of operation. Standard mode is the

only mode available on the cabinet models. For pedestal models (without zero tear option), the Standard mode can be selected from the menu and should be selected when using the rear paper exit. In Standard mode, the EJECT key moves the paper forward to facilitate tearing off the paper at the perforation then restores the original paper position. Once the paper is torn at the perforation, pressing either the EJECT, START,orStop keys retracts the paper to its previous position, as described below:

EJECT Moves the paper to its previous position. The printer

returns to the mode it was in before EJECT was used.

START

Moves the paper to its previous position and places the printer in the READY state.

STOP Moves the paper to its previous position and places the

printer in the NOT READY state.

If the paper is to be torn off, the FORM FEED key must be pressed before pressing the EJECT, START,orSTOP keys. This feeds an additional page first and prevents the paper from unloading when it is restored to its original position after the form is torn off.

Saving Your Configuration in a Custom Set

Figure 12. Configuration Management Menu - Save Current Values

Once you have changed all of the necessary parameters, it is recommended you save them as a configuration that can be stored and loaded later for future use. You can save your configurations to meet different print job requirements.

The saved configurations (called custom sets) are stored in NVRAM—they will not be lost if you power off the printer.

Later, you can load one of the configurations for a specific print job. This eliminates the need to change settings, such as CPI and LPI, for each new job. See “Loading Custom Sets or Factory Default Values” on page 35 for details on loading configurations.

You may want to print records of your configurations (see “Printing the Current Configuration” on page 28) and store them in a safe place, such as inside the printer cabinet.

32 InfoPrint 6500-V User’s Manual

If you do not save your configuration before you power off the printer, all of the new parameter values that have not been saved to NVRAM will be erased. When you power the printer on again, the power-on configuration will load. If no configuration has been designated as the power-on configuration, the factory configuration will load.

Note: To avoid overwriting an existing custom set, the Protect Custom Sets

parameter must be set to ENABLE. See “Protect Custom Sets” on page 56 for details.

Chapter 4. The Configuration Menus 43

The purpose of the Quick Setup menu is to have the items that are most frequently changed or entered during the installation of the printer in one location. This is not a “quick access” menu, in that the items found here will generally only be needed during the initial setup rather than on an ongoing basis. Only those items where input is needed to enable printing from a host system and establish rudimentary printing parameters are included. All other menu selections not part of this section can be left in their default state to achieve successful printing.

Most items displayed for selection in the Quick Setup menu dynamically change depending on which Host Interface options are installed and selected or which active emulation is selected. Only items that are routinely selected, modified or confirmed during initial setup will be displayed (not full menus). In most cases, the default settings provided throughout should be sufficient to initiate successful printing and only need to be confirmed.

Changes made in the Quick Setup menu will have global impact. For example, host interface settings made will carry forward and reflect in the Host Interface menu as well. Similarly, changes made to any other parameter will be universally applied (changing the default values) in all emulations or locations where these settings are applicable.

An Active Emulation menu has been added. Depending on the emulations installed or selected, a series of additional menus will appear dynamically, depending on which emulation was chosen. The choice of emulations offered depends on what emulations are included in the printer’s software and have been enabled by the Security Key.

As the active emulation is selected from either the Quick Setup Menu or from the original Active Emulation menu location, the corresponding bottom menus for the remaining emulations will be hidden. Only the menu tree for the selected active emulation will be displayed.

If IPDS is installed, it will become the default emulation. There is no IPDS specific menu items placed in the Quick Setup menu selections. However, the user can define the ASCII settings. If IPDS is not installed, then ASCII Printer will be made the default selection. If ANSI is installed, then the menu will provide the user with the choice between ANSI or ASCII Printer. If either TN3270 or TN5250 are installed, this emulation becomes the default, with all default values accepted.

Interface Selection

Interface selection enables or disables physical interfaces for attachment switching. If an interface is disabled, it is set offline and any data received will be ignored.

When Coax or Twinax is selected, a POR status is sent to the host. Selecting Autoswitching provides automatic interface switching among parallel, serial, and either Coax or Twinax communication. Only one interface can be enabled at a time. Configuration of the Auto Switching Hotport is done from the corresponding interface menu, as shown in the following sections.

Note: When used with serial, parallel, and Coax or Twinax non-IPDS emulations,

Autoswitching does NOT save the state of each emulation during interface switching. In this case, it is the responsibility of the host application program to initialize the emulation to the desired state as the beginning of each job. It is also the responsibility of the host application program to correctly position the forms at “top of form” and the end of each job. When used with Coax or Twinax IPDS, Autoswitching does save the state of the IPDS emulation during interface switching and will also correctly position the forms at “top of form” at the end of each IPDS job.

Display Language

This parameter selects the language in which the operator panel messages will display.

Print Direction

The PRINT DIRECTION feature affects both print quality and printing speed. By setting this feature, you can configure the printer to print in both directions of the shuttle sweep (Bidirectional), or to print in only one direction (Unidirectional).

You might want to use Unidirectional when printing bar codes, high quality text and graphics, or other printing that requires precise vertical alignment.

Although enabling this feature reduces print speed, it enhances the vertical alignment of dots and produces cleaner, sharper bar codes and text.

v Bidirectional (the default) prints all data in both directions of the shuttle sweep.

This choice produces higher printing speed.

v Unidirectional prints all data in only one direction of the shuttle sweep. This

choice produces higher print quality.

Chapter 4. The Configuration Menus 47

Hex Print Mode

A hex code printout (or hex dump) translates all incoming data to hexadecimal equivalents. A hex dump lists each ASCII data character received from the host computer, together with its corresponding two-digit hexadecimal code. Hex dumps can be used to troubleshoot some types of printer data reception problems.

v Disable (the default)

v Enable

Refer to page 217 to obtain a hex code printout.

Note: Printing in Hex Mode may alter print attributes set at the operator panel or

by the host computer. These attributes may need to be reset after exiting Hex Print Mode. The mode is not available when printing IPDS.

Power On State

This parameter allows you to configure the printer to power on in the READY or NOT READY mode.

v Ready (the default)

v Not Ready

Paper Jam Detection

This parameter determines whether or not paper jam detection is active.

v Enable (the default). Detects paper jams.

v Disables. Disables paper jam checking to prevent false errors.

Attention: When paper jam detection is disabled, the printer does not monitor paper motion. If a paper jam occurs, the printer ignores the condition and continues to print, possibly causing severe damage to the printer.

Forms Speed

FORMS SPEED affects the speed at which paper moves into the stacking area of the printer.

v Normal Speed (the default) will slew and stack paper, such as single-sheet data

processing paper, at maximum speed.

v Slow Speed will slew and stack at a slower pace. This ensures that forms, such

as multiple-sheet (that is, invoice), will stack more neatly.

48 InfoPrint 6500-V User’s Manual

Set Platen at BOF

Some special forms have perforation areas that are thicker than the rest of the form. Enable this parameter when you are using this type of form. This parameter, when open is selected, allows the platen to open and close when perforations thicker than the rest of a form move across the platen.

To retain print quality with this type of form, set the position of the first and last print lines to avoid printing where paper thickness occurs (before and after the perforation). See “Forms Length” on page 184.

v Disable (the default)

v Open

Note: When enabling this parameter, you must set the forms length to match the

physical distance between perforations.

Shuttle Timeout

The SHUTTLE TIMEOUT parameter determines the amount of time the shuttle will continue running after printing stops. This allows the shuttle to continue moving during the time between print jobs when the print jobs arrive at frequent intervals. Time is saved if the shuttle is still moving when a print job arrives at the printer, since the printer does not have to wait for the shuttle to reach its operating speed.

v 5 Seconds (the default)

v 1 - 60 Seconds

Energy Saver Timer

This parameter helps to reduce power consumption when the printer is not in use in order to reduce air pollution caused by power generation. Use of this feature can cut energy use by more than 50 percent.

ENERGY SAVER TIMER determines the amount of time that expires before the printer reduces power after printing stops. The energy saver mode can select an energy saver activation time from instant to 60 minutes. The selections are:

v 15 Minutes (the default)

v 1 - 60 Minutes

v 240 Mins

v Instant

v 5 - 30 Seconds

Note: If the printer enters energy saver mode while NOT READY, the printer will

not print any jobs until made READY by pressing the Start key.

Chapter 4. The Configuration Menus 49

OCR Font Density

OCR FONT DENSITY determines the print quality for OCR A and OCR B character sets. The following options are available:

v 120 Dots Per Inch (the default). Vertical is 144; horizontal is 120.

v 180 Dots Per Inch Vertical is 144; horizontal is 180.

Note: The higher the resolution selected, the slower the print speed. When

selecting a resolution, try to balance the resolution quality your application requires with how fast you want the print job to print.

Eject/Restore

The EJECT/RESTORE parameter controls how the printer behaves when the user presses the EJECT key. The following options are available:

v Standard (the default)

v Top Exit Tear (pedestal models only)

When STANDARD mode is selected, the EJECT key operates as follows:

v Pressing EJECT causes the paper to advance a preset distance of 22 inches.

v Pressing Ready or pressing EJECT a second time causes the paper to return to

its original position.

Note: If you are using this function to tear off forms, you might want to press

FORM FEED before using the EJECT/RESTORE function. This will avoid

unloading the paper as it is restored to its original position.

When TOP EXIT TEAR mode is selected, the EJECT key operates as follows:

v Pressing EJECT causes the paper to advance the bottom of the last printed form

to the tear position, ready for the operator to tear off the printed forms.

v Pressing EJECT a second time causes the paper to move into position such that

the top of the first possible form available for printing is positioned ready for printing. (The direction and amount of paper movement will depend on the length of the forms; one or more blank forms will be skipped.)

Note: The TOP EXIT TEAR setting is meaningful only on pedestal model printers.

TOP EXIT TEAR cannot be selected on cabinet model printers.

Forms length must be set correctly for the TOP EXIT TEAR mode to function properly.

Power Stacker

This parameter determines whether or not the power paper stacker is enabled, which is the default, or disabled. This parameter is not presented if the power paper stacker is not installed.

v Enable (the default)

v Disable

Auto Elevator

This parameter exists only on printers with the power paper stacker installed. The power stacker has a sensor which detects paper movement and raises the stacker as the printed paper stack grows. If the printer has been printing for three minutes continually and the sensor has not detected any growth in the paper stack, the stacker raises itself ¼ inch automatically.

v Enable (default). The automatic elevator on the power stacker operates normally.

v Disable. The stacker does not raise automatically every three minutes and is

entirely dependent on the sensor. Disable is used with extremely high-quality print jobs that take a long time to print.

Recall Custom Set

The printer can store 8 custom sets in NVRAM. This parameter allows you to select and load a specific custom set.

v Factory Default (the default). The factory-preset custom set; its parameters

cannot be changed. It is always available for loading.

Custom/Preloaded Sets 5-8 contain configuration sets that assist with the installation and configuration of this printer. These sets are preloaded at the factory. If these sets are not used, you can delete them and create new custom sets.

Following is a brief description of Custom/Preloaded Sets 5-8:

v Custom/Preloaded Set 5 is used when configuring this printer to function like a

Printronix printer. This custom set contains ASCII emulations used by Printronix compatible printers along with initial defaults (Overstrike, Auto LF, and so forth). The initial ASCII default emulation is pSeries which may need to be altered for pSeries XQ or Serial Matrix in some applications. This operation is defined only in CT or CT/IPDS builds. For more information, refer to the Configuration Utility Diskette shipped with this printer, or the InfoPrint 6500 ASCII Programmer’s Reference Manual.

v Custom/Preloaded Set 6 contains the default settings for an ASCII printer using

a set of Epson and Proprinter default values. This could be useful when the printer has the Coax/Twinax feature, but is sometimes run as an ASCII printer. This option is defined only in IGP, CD, and CT/IPDS builds. Refer to the InfoPrint 6500 Coax/Twinax Programmer‘s Reference Manual for more information.

v Custom/Preloaded Set 7 contains default settings for a Twinax printer without

IPDS. This could be useful when the printer contains the IPDS feature, but must occasionally be used as a non-IPDS printer. This option is defined only in CT/IPDS builds. Refer to the InfoPrint 6500 IPDS Programmer’s Reference Manual or the InfoPrint 6500 Coax/Twinax Programmer’s Reference Manual for more information.

v Custom/Preloaded Set 8 sets up the printer for an external CT Interpreter box.

This option is defined only for Non-CT IGP and ASCII builds.

Save Current Values

This option allows you to save your custom sets to meet different print job requirements. This eliminates the need to change the parameter settings for each new job.

The custom sets are stored in NVRAM—they will not be lost if you power off the printer.

Factory default is a factory-preset custom set; it cannot be changed or saved.

IMPORTANT: A new custom set will overwrite an existing custom set if the

PROTECT CUSTOM SETS parameter is disabled (for example, a new Custom Set 4 will overwrite an existing Custom Set 4). See the “Protect Custom Sets” in this section.

Delete Custom Set

You can delete one or all of your customized or preloaded custom sets. Factory default is a factory-preset custom set and cannot be changed or deleted.

Change Power On Set

You can specify which of the custom sets will be the power-on custom set. The printer will power on with the factory set values or with one of the customized configurations.

Protect Custom Sets

The PROTECT CUSTOM SETS option specifies whether or not a new custom set can overwrite an existing custom set when you activate the SAVE CURRENT VALUES parameter.

v Disable (the default). Turns protection off, allowing you to overwrite existing

custom sets.

v Enable. Turns protection on, preventing you from overwriting existing custom

sets. If you attempt to save to an existing set, the following operator panel message appears:

043 CUSTOM SET ALREADY EXISTS DELETE FIRST

You must delete the existing set before trying to save the new custom set.

This selection determines if ASCII codes X'80' through X'9F' will be used as control codes or printed as standard printable characters.

v Printable (the default). Prints the alternate set as standard characters

v Control Code. Selects the alternate set to be used as printer control codes.

Mono/Dual Case

MONO/DUAL CASE specifies the font as MONO Case or DUAL Case (the default). It is available only in non-SCS mode. The host will be notified of the change when the printer is made READY. If the character set is one of the following “right to left” sets, MONO CASE prints the same as DUAL CASE: Katakana, Hebrew, Hebrew Old, and Farsi.

v Dual Case (the default)

v Mono Case

SCS (System Network Architecture Character String) Mode is controlled by the host computer. Refer to the InfoPrint 6500 Coax/Twinax Programmer’s Reference Manual for more information about non–SCS mode.

Undefined Char Sub

UNDEFINED CHARACTER SUBSTITUTION specifies the replacement character to print in place of any unprintable character that is received from the host. The character code point can have the following value:

v X'60' Hex (the default)

v X'40' — X'FE' Hex

Print Text Direction

PRINT TEXT DIRECTION specifies the direction in which characters are printed on the page. This allows the printer to print languages which are printed right to left instead of left to right.

v Control By Host (the default)

v Left To Right

v Right To Left

The “CONTROL BY HOST” option allows printers configured as a 4234 to use the “ SET TEXT ORIENTATION” command from the host.

Compatibility Options

See “Compatibility Options Menu” on page 76.

Translate Table

This parameter defines which translate table to use for printing. The following options are available:

v Default (the default). Translates data by using the default table of the current

character set.

v Downloaded Translates data from EBCDIC to internal code by using the

downloaded translate table.

Override Host

OVERRIDE HOST determines whether the printer executes certain commands sent by the host, or continues to use the current settings. The following host commands are ignored when OVERRIDE HOST is enabled: line length, forms length, lines per inch (LPI), characters per inch (CPI), print quality, and text orientation (that is, left to right). When OVERRIDE HOST is enabled, these settings retain their operator panel settings.

v Disable (the default). Allows certain host commands (line length, forms length,

v Enable. Permits operator panel settings to override host data stream commands.

Chapter 4. The Configuration Menus 73

Format Control

FORMAT CONTROL enables the printer to reflect the same spacing as 6408/6412 Model CT0 printers after absolute and relative move commands are executed. The following options are available:

v Disable (the default). Does not reflect distance, generated by the Code V feature,

IGP feature, and Hex Transparent control code sequence, in the new position (after absolute and relative move commands are executed).

v Enable. Reflects 6408/6412 Model CT0 distance, generated by the Code V

feature, IGP feature, and Hex Transparent control code sequence, in the new position (after absolute and relative move commands are executed).

C/T Hotport

Gives the printer the ability to handle multiple data streams simultaneously. It allows the printer to serve hosts attached to the serial, parallel, and either Coax or Twinax points as if they were the only interface connected.

Port Type

Selects the type of port to be used. The Disable selection disables the port from the hotport process. The available selections are:

v Twinax (the default)

v Coax

v Disable

Note: Changing the Port Type in this menu option also changes the Port Type

setting in the Twinax Interface Menu.

Timeout

This is the value used by the printer to time out from the current port and check the other ports for data to print. When the printer has not received data from the host after the specified period of time. It needs to Timeout to service the other ports. The available selections are:

v 15 Seconds (the default)

v 10 to 180 Seconds.

Report Status

v Disable (the default). A fault on the printer is reported on if it occurs on the

active port.

v Enable. The faults are reported even if the fault is not on the current active port.

Maximum Printable Width

MAXIMUM PRINTABLE WIDTH sets the maximum width of the printer when using a CT host interface.

v 13.2 Inches (the default)

v 13.6 Inches

Note: The Twinax interface menu and Coax interface menu option for maximum

printable width use the same internal variable. Setting this option in either menu will make it the current setting for the printer, independent of the interface used.

Hex Print Mode

When enabled, the HEX PRINT MODE parameter prints the EBCDIC data and control codes received from the host as hex values. Refer to “Hex Code Printout” on page 217 to obtain a hex code printout. Disable is the default condition.

v Disable (the default)

v Enable

Note: Printing in Hex Mode may alter print attributes set by the host computer. A

power cycle may be required after changing HEX PRINT MODE from enable to disable.
