Install The Ribbon And Paper

The following sections describe how to install ribbon and load paper.

Load The Ribbon

The line matrix printer requires ribbons that work with the Integrated Print Management System. Earlier models and other legacy ribbons do not provide this support and will not work.

Blue Tractor Door (2)

Load The Ribbon

Figure 17. Preparing to Load the Ribbon

1. Make sure the printer cover is open.

2. Raise the platen lever as far as it will go.

Spool

Right Hub

IMPORTANT

Figure 18. Loading the Ribbon

4. Place the full spool on the right hub. Be sure the ribbon feeds off the outside of the spool.

5. Press the spool down until it snaps into place.

The full spool has a barcode label on the bottom side and a date code label on the top. Once the sensor automatically reads and logs the ribbon barcode, the Integrated Print Management System starts to track ribbon usage.

If you remove the ribbon during the course of its life and want to re-install the same ribbon, be sure to place the same spools on the correct hubs. Do not reverse the spools. Be sure to re-install the spool with the date code label on the top onto the right hand hub.

Ribbon Life Indicator

Indicates the remaining life of the currently installed ribbon. This feature issues a warning when remaining life drops below 2% and will stop printing at 0%.

NOTE: The default setting for this feature should match the

requirements for most applications; no special setup is needed. If your particular application requires darker printing or can tolerate lighter printing, this end point can be adjusted as appropriate. Please refer to the section on setting Ribbon End Point in the Printer Control Menu section of the User’s Manual.

Page 52

Printer Self-Test

Each time you power on the printer, it executes a self-test. The default power-up state is online. When the self-test completes and the software has initialized successfully, the status indicator light turns on, indicating that the printer is online. The ribbon life remaining appears in the display.

Quick Setup Menu

The Quick Setup menu allows access to the most frequently changed or selected parameters during the installation of the printer. To familiarize yourself with the Quick Setup menu, navigate through the menu by doing the following:

When printing stops at 0%, and if immediately changing the ribbon is not convenient, you can place the printer back online and printing will resume for a short period.

1. Press the ON LINE/CLEAR key.

2. Press the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys simultaneously to unlock the ENTER key.

3. Press the Right Arrow key to navigate through the menus.

In most cases, the factory default settings can be used. If you want to change a setting, use the arrow keys to display the desired setting, then press ENTER.

Quick Setup Menu

Device ID

This parameter defines the printer emulation as IPDS, 4234-2 or

5225. After the emulation has been changed, a POR status is sent to the host. IPDS is the default.

Ethernet Address

• IP Address. A numeric address such as 123.45.61.23 which

identifies a printer or server in a LAN or WAN.

• Subnet Mask. A binary value used to divide IP networks into

smaller subnetworks or subnets. This mask is used to help determine whether IP packets need to be forwarded to other subnets.

• Gateway Address. A gateway address is the IP address of a

hardware device (gateway) that translates data between two incompatible networks, which can include protocol translation.

• MAC Address. This menu item is the Manufacturer’s Assigned

Number, and is unique for each printer. It is read-only.

• DHCP. You can enable/disable the DHCP protocol using this

option, but consult your administrator for the appropriate setting.

Active IGP Emulation

The Active Emulation menu enables you to activate either the PGL or VGL emulation.

Ribbon End Point

This parameter adjusts the point at which the system will declare the ribbon as being expended. The life count will always be from 100% to 0%, but if a darker setting is selected 0% will be reached more quickly. If a lighter setting is selected, the system will extend the time it takes to reach 0%.

Page 56

Quick Setup Menu

Save Config

This option allows you to save up to eight configurations to meet different print job requirements. This eliminates the need to change the parameter settings for each new job. The configurations are stored in memory and will not be lost if you turn off the printer. If the Protect Configs. parameter is enabled, the new configuration will not be saved unless the existing configuration has been deleted first. The factory default configuration cannot be changed.

Power Up Config

This option allows you to specify which of the nine configurations (Factory or 1-8) will be the power-up configuration.
