Introduction

Character Codes

In ASCII mode, the American Standard Code for Information Exchange (ASCII) character
set is recognized by the 1330. See Appendix C, “Character Sets,” for information about
ASCII character sets.

Print Buffer

In ASCII mode, the print b uffer is a reserv ed area of memory for storing incoming data
before it is printed. The buffer size is operator selecta ble for 2K, 8K, 16K, or 32K bytes.

ASCII Languages

The 1330 supports international languages through the use of its internal PC character
set. Selection is made from the front panel during printer configuration.

Standard Features

Standard features of the 1330 are described below . Information for using these printing
capabilities is presented in subsequent chapters of this manual.

Character Codes

In 3270 mode, the Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC)
character set is recognized by the 1330, as well as the SNA Character String (SCS). See
Appendix B of this manual for character code charts for SCS support.

701333-004 1-3

Introduction

Color

The 1330 can print in monochrome or color, using an operator installable recirculating
cloth ribbon cartridge. Two monochrome ribbons, a 4-color accent ribbon (black, red,
blue, and green), and a subtractive 8-color r ibbon (black, red, blue, green, yello w, magenta,
cyan, and brown) are a vailable.

Paper Handling

The 1330 comes standard with pull tractors for continuous forms feeding, and allows for
easy paper loading at the front of the printer . Pinfeed forms from 3 to 14 inches (7.6 to

35.6 cm) long and 3 to 15 inches (7.6 to 38.1 cm) wide can be used. This configuration is
especially suited for a large volume of work or work that requires little operator
intervention.

Print Qualities

The 1330 can print in four qualities:

• Fast Draft Quality (FD) (av ailable only in 3270 mode)

• Data Processing (DP)

• Data Processing T e xt (DP Text)

• Near Letter Quality (NLQ)

All print qualities are selectable via the operator control panel.

Multiple Copies

The 1330 can print multiple copies, one original plus five copies, total thickness not to
exceed 0.025 inch (0.64 mm). The recommended maximum thickness for multipart forms
is 0.018 inch (0.46 mm).

3270 Languages

The 1330 enables the operator to select from 39 international language character sets.
Selection is made during printer configuration. The attached control unit should be
configured for the same language.

Screen Sizes

Any of the following display buf fer sizes can be selected for print operation:

• 1920 bytes

• 2560 bytes

1-4 701333-004

• 3440 bytes

• 3564 bytes

The size can be selected by the operator during configuration.

Self-Diagnostic T esting

The 1330 has a self-diagnostic ability to ensure that the printer is in good working
condition. If an error condition is encountered, the 1330 informs the operator by displaying
an error message on the control panel. Should this occur, refer to the er ror message chart
in Appendix A of this manual.

Audible Alarm

The 1330 features an audible alarm that sounds when the printer needs operator assistance
(such as when the paper is skewed or out). In this situation it will continue to beep
intermittently , unless it is disabled.

Programmed Symbols

Introduction

In 3270 mode, six symbol sets are operator configurable either as six single plane sets or
as three single plane sets and one triple plane set.

IPDS

Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) is a structured field datastream for managing
printing processes and data objects. IPDS uses All Points Ad dressability (AP A) to enable
the user to position text, graphics, image data, overlays, and bar codes at any defined
point on a printed page. Extended memory is recommended for graphics applications.

Optional Features

The following optional accessories are available for the 1330. These items can be ordered
through your sales representative.

Memory

This feature adds 512K bytes of RAM memory to the standard 128K bytes of memory
for a total of 640K bytes. The extra memory is recommended for the following
applications: IPDS, programmed symbols, ASCII graphics, ASCII do wnloaded fonts,
and dual host (auto-switching) operations.

Continuous Forms Module

The continuous forms module provides the operator with a reliable way of feeding the
1330 with continuous forms.

701333-004 1-5

Introduction

Forms Handler Module

The Forms Handler module is operator installable in the front of the printer to vertically
position forms. The module’ s forms tractors are adjustable for two options:

• Document on Demand (DOD) option – used for continuous forms

• Document Insertion Device (DID) option – used for cut sheet/single sheet forms

Printer Pedestal Stand

The pedestal stand is designed so that the printer can be securely seated. The forms
supply is placed in the stand’s paper compartment and feeds into the front of the 1330
from below .

Forms Stand

The forms stand is placed behind the printer to hold both new and printed fanfold forms.

Preparing to Operate the 1330

Review the following points carefully to ensure that your forms are appropriate for use
in the 1330.

1. Except for horizontal dimensions of the first print position specif ied in Figures 2-12

and 2-13, no printing should occur within 0.25 inch (0.6 cm) of any edge, perforation,
or fold.

2. Printing m ust not occur across any holes, perforations, or edges of the forms, nor

should printing occur directly on the platen.

3. Continuous card stock forms are not recommended.

4. Nar row width forms (less than 8.0 inches [20.3 cm]) contribute to instability of

stacking and may require operator attention. W ider base forms are recommended.

5. The minimum single part forms thickness is 0.003 inch (0.08 mm). The maximum

single part forms thickness is 0.006 inch (0.15 mm).

6. The maximum allowable multiple part forms thickness is 0.025 inch (0.64 mm).

The maximum recommended multipart forms thickness is 0.018 inch (0.46 mm).
The minimum thickness for any sheet in multipart forms is 0.002 inch (0.05 mm)
(carbon excluded). The maximum thickness for any sheet in multipart forms is 0.006
inch (0.15 mm).

7. Up to six-part continuous part forms (original plus fi ve copies) can be used. Howeve r,

for optimum feeding, registration, and print quality, a maximum of four parts is
recommended. All multipart forms should be tested by the customer prior to use for
satisfactory feeding, registration, and print quality .

8. Carbon forms are recommended for multipart continuous forms. Carbonless (ink

impregnated) forms can be used but may result in less legible print than carbon
paper.

9. No hard or metallic fasteners are permitted.

10. Gluing is the recommended method of fastening forms. The gluing must be adequate

to prevent separation or shifting of the forms as they are fed through the printer .

11. Crimping is not recommended. However, if crimping is used, the crimps must be

located no more than 2 inches (5.1 cm) apart along the margins of the forms length.

12. Partial forms separation is not permitted.

13. Translucent or thin forms may cause the paper motion detector to give f alse readings.

The paper motion detector can be disabled, if required, to allow the use of these
forms (see Chapter 4).

Next is the procedure for using the Continuous Forms module.

2-16 701333-004

Cu

In 3270 mode or share mode, the Cu signal displays when the 1330 is in communication
with the controller. If the printer is recei ving data, the Cu signal will blink.

S/C/A

The one-letter display indicates the current interface mode the printer is configured with.
The valid displays for the interface option are “S” (share), “C” (3270), and “A” (ASCII).

Operating Mode

The 1330 has four types of operation modes: Start, Stop, Menu, and Contrast.

When the 1330 is in Start mode and ready to receive data, the READ Y message appears
in the status window .

When the printer is in Stop mode and awaiting an operator-initiated function, the ST OP
message appears in the status window . If the printer is left in Stop mode for more than 10
minutes, either a status message is displayed in the window or the printer returns to Start
mode, depending on how you have conf igured the printer .

When the operator is configuring the printer using the front panel option, the printer is in
Menu mode. (See Chapter 4 for displays under the Menu mode.)

When the operator is adjusting the darkness of the print using the Contrast key, the
printer is in Contrast mode. (See Chapter 6 for displays under the Contrast mode.)

Please note that no printing takes place in Stop mode other than operator print. Data
received from the controller will be printed only when the printer is in Ready mode.

Form Device

The form module installed with the printer will be displayed when the printer is configured
to sense the module. If you are using an overwrite feature in the conf iguration option, the
display will show the overwrite value. The form devices available f or the 1330 are “CFD”
(continuous forms device), “DOD” (document on demand), and “DID” (document
insertion device).

Emulation Mode

The current printer emulation modes will be displayed in this location. The available
emulation modes for 3270 are “4230,” “4224,” “3268,” and “2124.” The available
emulation modes for ASCII are Proprinter and TI-810.

3-2 701333-004

Datastream Mode/Interface Type

When host data is being processed, the type of datastream will be displayed in this location.
The acceptable datastreams are LU1 (SCS), LU3 (DSC/DSE), LU1-IPDS, and LU3­IPDS. In ASCII, the interface type will be displayed. Those types can be parallel, RS­232, RS-422, or ASC.

Status Message

The 1330 displays the current printer status in this location. When the 1330 is operated
under normal conditions, no message should be displayed. If an error is detected by the
printer, for example a paper jam, the printer will display PAPER JAM on the status line.
If more than one error is detected at the same time, only the most serious one will be
displayed on the status line. Once the problem is corrected, the status line will clear or
the next error message, if any, will be displayed.

The Keypad

The 1330 keypad, located on the right side of the operator control panel, works on a
pressure sensitive principle. When you press a key , a switch is activ ated that changes the
state or mode of the printer.

Operator Control Panel

When you press an inv alid keypad key , the printer will beep if the alarm is acti vated. The
alarm can be enabled or disabled during configuration. For instructions on how to configure
the alarm in 3270 mode, see Chapter 4, Configuration Options 402 and 403; for ASCII
mode, see Chapter 5, Configuration Options 402 and 403.

Key Functions

Start

Stop

The Start key puts the 1330 in Ready mode if the printer is not in Menu mode. If the
system is sending data to be printed, and no error conditions appear in the display, this
key starts the printer printing. This k ey also stops the printer alarm. If the 1330 is in Stop
mode with the forms ejected in DOD mode, this key will not function until you put the
form back to the normal condition by pressing the Load/Eject key . If the 1330 is in Menu
mode, the Start key will select the current option for configuration.

The Stop key puts the printer in Stop mode when the printer is in Ready or Menu mode.
When running an operator test, the Stop key stops any test after the current line is finished.
In Menu mode, the Stop key also serves as a return from an option to the menu list.

The Stop key also stops the printer alarm, and clears any displayed error conditions,
provided they no longer exist. For e xample, in DOD mode, if the form is ejected and the
cover is opened, the CO VER OPEN message will display . Pressing the Stop key in Stop
mode after the cover is closed will clear the previous COVER OPEN message and put
the original FORMS EJECTED message in the status window .

707 – Display Character Count

Configuration Option 707 will display the current character count on the status display.
Use this option to record the character count each time you change the print head, so that
Customer Service can better service the 1330.

The character count is displayed as 0000000000, with the appropriate 0s reading as number
values to reflect the current character count. For example, if the character count is
1,220,000 characters, the display will read 0001220000. Record the character count on
the form provided in Appendix E each time y ou change the print head.

Note: The life expectancy of the print head is rated solely on the printing of draft

characters. DP text, near letter quality , and especially graphics printing represent
a much higher print head duty cycle for a given draft char acter cell location. If a
significant amount of printing occurs in these higher duty cycle modes, the
character count will be less than the draft character life expectancy. In these
situations, a lower than rated character count does not indicate a defective print
head.

T o view the character count, follo w the configuration procedure that be gins on Page 4-1.
Press the Save key to display the current character count. Record this figure on the form
in Appendix E.

The displayed character count cannot be changed during this configuration option.
