Load The Ribbon

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.

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.

3. Close the blue tractor doors.

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.

IMPORTANT

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.

1. Using the rear control panel, press the PAPER ADVANCE key
and hand feed the paper in the paper throat. Continue to
advance the paper until it reaches the wire tent and there is an
excess of 3 to 5 pages in the stacker. Be certain the paper
passes through the paper stacker throat.

2. Stack the 3 to 5 sheets of paper on top of the wire paper tent,
making sure the paper lies with the natural fold.

NOTE: When the guides are set for narrow paper, the paper tent

limits downward travel, causing motor stalls. If this occurs,
remove the paper tent.

NOTE: When using the top exit paper path, paper cannot be

stacked. Paper is intended to be removed after each print
job is completed.

• For rear paper exit: Press the Paper Advance key several

times to ensure that the paper feeds properly beyond the

exit slot in the rear of the cabinet. Ensure that the paper folds
the same way in the stacking area as it does in the supply area.

• For top paper exit: Press the Paper Advance key several

times to ensure that the paper feeds properly beyond the

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

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.

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:

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.

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%.

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.
