Periodic Maintenance

The printer does not require any routine maintenance. However, reasonable care of the printer will extend its life. The following periodic measures are recommended:

• Cleaning the unit is the most important action the user can perform. The frequency of cleaning is dependent upon the environment.

— Turn the power OFF.

— Clean the case and covers with a soft cloth. Use any mild commercial cleaner on the cloth, do

not spray directly on to the printer.

— Remove the top and the smoked plastic covers. Vacuum or dust the inside area of the unit. Be

very careful not to damage the printhead ribbon cable or the carriage drive belt. — The platen should be cleaned with denatured alcohol only. — The carriage guide bar can be lubricated with a very light oil. Contact your Authorized Panasonic

Service Center for advice on lubrication.

Ribbon Cassette

A single ribbon permits the printing of approximately 3 million total draft characters. When the printing starts to fade, gently push the counter spring in the ribbon cassette hole with the tip of a ballpoint pen or other object. Once the ribbon cassette is mounted onto the carriage and printing is performed for a short time, the characters will become darker.

Note:

• Do not re-ink the ribbon until printing starts to fade. If the ribbon has too much ink, the characters may smear when printed.

• If the ribbon begins to catch, snag, or tear from the printhead, your printer requires servicing.

Self Test

After re-inking the ribbon, to make sure that the characters are no longer smearing you may perform steps 1 ~3 of “Self Test", P. 27)

Interfacing

Parallel Interfacing

Communication with a computer is accomplished through a parallel interface based on the Centronics standard.

Specifications:

• data transfer speed: 1000 cps minimum

• synchronization: external STROBE pulse

• logic levels: TTL (Transistor-Transistor-Logic) levels

• handshaking: BUSY and ACK signals

• connector type: 57-30360 (AMPHENOL) or equivalent

• cable: use a shielded cable (6'571.95 meters) or less in length. When the printer is processing data, the BUSY signal is high. THe printer will not accept new data

from the computer. After the processing is completed, the BUSY signal goes low. (The BUSY signal

is also high when the printer is OFF LINE). When the busy signal occurs, the ACK signal goes low indicating to the computer that the data has been processed and the printer is ready to accept more

data. This handshaking routine occurs each time a character is sent to the printer.

Interfacing

Connector pin signals

STB...STROBE

• This is a synchronizing input signal to read data into the printer.

• This signal is normally high. Data is read in when it is low.

DATA1-DATA8

• These are the input signals which carry the 8 data bits of information.

• The signal is read in synchronization with the STROBE pulse. A high level indicates a logical “1”.

ACK...ACKNOWLEDGE

• This is an output signal to the computer indicating that the printer is ready to receive the next data. When the condition becomes true, the signal goes low.

• The ACK signal is automatically sent whenever the printer is switched ON LINE and the BUSY signal drops from high to low.

BUSY

• This output signal indicates the status of the printer cannot receive data.

• The signal is high under the following conditions:

1. receive buffer full

2. printer is processing data

3. printer is OFF LINE

4. printer is in an error condition

PO...PAPER OUT

• This output signal indicates the absence of paper and goes high during a “Paper Out” condition.

SLCT...SELECT

• This output signal is high in the ON LINE state and low when OFF LINE.

• The printer enters the ON LINE state:

1. When the printer is turned on

2. when PRIME is received

3. when the RESET command is received

4. when the ON LINE switch is pressed

• The printer enters the OFF LINE state:

1. when the printer is out of paper

2. when the printer is switched OFF LINE

AUTO FEED XT (AFXT)

• While this input signal is low, one line feed (LF) command will be added to each carriage return (CR).

• Auto LF setting in the Function mode can alter the response by the printer to an AFXT signal. If auto

LF is ON, the printer will perform a CR+LF regardless of the level of the AFXT signal. When auto LF is OFF, automatic action is disabled.

64

Interfacing

SG...SIGNAL GROUND

• The twisted pair return wires (pins 19-30) are connected to signal ground.

FG...FRAME GROUND

• Frame ground is the same as chassis ground.

+5V

• This is for evaluation only. It should not be used to supply power for external equipment.

PRIME

• This input signal is normally high and goes low to reset the printer. It can be received anytime during printer operation.

ERROR

• This output signal is normally high, and goes low when an error occurs. An error condition can be caused by:

1. a “Paper Out” condition

2. the printer is OFF LINE

3. an overload condition exists

Initialization

The printer is initialized under the following conditions: — the AC power is turned on — the PRIME signal is received — the RESET PRINTER command is received — the clear buffer function is used

When the printer is initialized, the following conditions are set: — the print buffer is cleared — the receive buffer is cleared (not cleared by RESET PRINTER command) — the download character buffer is cleared (not cleared by PRIME signal in IBM Proprinter X24E

mode or by RESET PRINTER command) — horizontal tabs are set every 8 columns — vertical tab settings are cleared — all modes set by control and escape commands will be cleared — present form position is designated as top of form — the Self Test mode is cleared — the Control Panel settings are read and set — Control Panel settings are not changed by PRIME signal or RESET PRINTER command* — the printhead goes to the home position

Some software packages send PRIME signal at the beginning of their programs. Print modes set

by the Control Panel will not change.

User Clear Function

This function initializes the printer from the Control Panel. This feature is very useful when you want to clear the receive buffer (information recently sent from the computer and is currently printing) without changing the Control Panel.

1. Press [ ON LINE] to stop the printing and enter the OFF LINE mode,

2. While pressing [ FONT ] , press [ON LINE] to clear the data in the receive buffer.

3. Press ( ON LINE) to re-enter the ON LINE mode.

66

Hex Dump

In this mode, all data received from the computer is printed in hex code instead of the normal ASCII characters. Function codes for the printer (CR, LF, HT, etc.) are not executed. This mode is very useful to debug programs.

To enter the Hex Dump mode:

While pressing [ FONT) , turn the power on.

To release the Hex Dump mode:

Turn the power off, then back on.

Glossary

ASCII: “ASCII” is an acronym for “American Standard Code for Information Inter

change”. In ASCII, each character has a unique code.

BASIC:

Baud (baud rate):

Bidirectional printing:

Binary:

Bit:

Buffer:

Byte:

Character set:

Code page:

BASIC is a commonly used microcomputer programming language.

Baud is a unit of data transmission speed between computer devices. Can be, but not necessarily, equal to bits per second.

Processing speed is increased by bidirectional printing. That is, the printer prints right-to-left as well as in the normal left-to-right manner.

Binary is a numbering system using the two digits of zero (0) and one (1).

Bit is an abbreviation for “binary digit (0~1)”, and is the smallest unit of information used by a printer or computer.'

Buffer is an area of memory which stores data temporarily.

Byte is the unit of information used by a printer or computer. One byte is

equivalent to eight (8) bits.

Character set is the set of characters, numbers, and symbols available for printing.

The computer system stores characters and numbers as a numerical data. The Code page is a table which is used to change them into the numerical data.

Control codes are commands from the computer to the printer that are non-printable characters. They are used to control printer functions.

"cpi” is an abbreviation for “characters per inch", and means the maximum number of characters printed in one horizontal inch.

“cpi” is an abbreviation for “characters per line”, and means the maximum number of characters printed on one line.

“cps” is an abbreviation for “characters per second", and means the number of characters printed in one second.

CR (Carriage Return): “CR” is a control code that returns the printhead to the left margin.

Decimal (Dec.):

Default:

Decimal is a numbering system composed of 10 digits 0,1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,

8 and 9.

Default has two meanings: one indicates the previously set condition or settings executed when the power is turned on, reset or Initialized; and the other indicates the original settings when shipped from the factory.

Glossary

Double strike printing:

Double high printing:

Double wide printing:

Download character:

Draft:

Emphasized printing;

Emulation:

Double printing is a print quality enhancing mode which uses a double strike

with two passes of the printhead, feeding the paper 1/180" (0.14 mm)

between the first and second pass (in Epson mode only).

Double high printing makes the height of a character twice that of a normal one.

Double wide printing makes the width of a character twice that of a normal

one.

Download character is a character which the user can design.

Draft is one of two print qualities available on this printer. Draft mode uses

a minimum number of dots per character to maximize printing speed.

Emphasized printing is a print quality enhancing mode done in one pass of the printhead at half speed, allowing horizontally adjacent dots to be printed producing a darker character.

Emulation means to operate like another printer. KX-P2023 can emulate the Epson LQ-850 or the IBM Proprinter X24E.

Escape (ESC) sequence:

Fanfold paper:

FF (Form Feed):

Font:

FORTRAN:

Hexadecimal: Hexadecimal is a numbering system using the 16 digits, 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

Initialization:

“ESC” is a control code that begins most printer commands. The characters which follow the "ESC” are interpreted as the command, rather than char acters to print.

Fanfold paper has regularly sprocket holes on the left and right sides and pages are separated by a perforation between each sheet. May also be known as computer paperor tractor paper.

“FF” is a control code that advances the paper one page.

Font is a style and size of type designated by a family name.

FORTRAN is one of many computer programming languages, which is used primarily in scientific applications.

7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E and F.

Initialization means to reset the printer to the initial start up condition.

82

Interface:

Interface is the connection between the two separate systems, such as the computer and the printer. A parallel interface transfers data one character or code at a time, and a serial interface transfers data one bit at a time.

I/O: “I/O” is the symbolic notation for “Input/Output”.

LF (Line Feed): “LP is a control code that advances the paper one line.

LSB: “LSB” is an acronym for “Least Significant Bit”, and means the rightmost

position in a binary number.

MSB: “MSB” is an acronym for “Most Significant Bit", and means the leftmost

position in a binary number.

Glossary

OFF LINE:

ON LINE:

Overline printing:

Parallel interface:

Parity:

PASCAL:

Perforation:

Pitch:

OFF LINE is the condition in which the printer can not communicate with the

computer.

ON LINE is the condition in which the printer can communicate with the

computer.

Overline printing produces a continuous line above the characters, using the first pin of the printhead.

Synchronized 8 bit transmission of data from the computer to the printer. (B®" P. 82 “Interface".)

Parity is a method for a computer and printer to check the accuracy of data

transfer.

PASCAL is a commonly used microcomputer programming language.

Perforation indicates the tear position on the fanfold paper, (ts* P. 62)

Pitch is the number of characters which will print in one inch. Pitch is equivalent to characters per inch (cpi).

Platen:

Printer drivers:

Proportional spacing (PS):

Platen is the rubber roller which is a backing for the paper when printing.

Most of today’s off the shelf software programs use printer drivers to control printer functions. These drivers contain the software codes your software program uses to access printer features. With the printer driver installed, you will seldom need to know any of the KX-P2023 commands.

Proportional spacing is a printing method of adjusting the space in which a

character is printed.

83

RAM: RAM is an acronym for “Random Access Memory”. It is the part of the

printer’s memory in which data is stored, control codes or download char

acters are to be printed. RAM is cleared when the printer is turned off.

ROM: ROM is an acronym for “Read Only Memory”. It is the part of the printer's

memory in which predefined characters and operating information for the printer are stored. ROM is not cleared when the printer is turned off.

Self test:

Shielded Cable:

String concatenation:

Super Quiet mode:

Self test Is a method for testing the operation of the printer, P. 27)

Shielded cable is a cable wrapped with a special metal around its wires. This guards against radio interference.

This is the joining of two or more bytes of data into a single command.

Super Quiet mode is a helpful feature which reduces printing noise.

Unidirectional printing: The printer prints left-to-hght only. Printing speed is slow compared with

bidirectional printing. This print method permits better vertical alignment.
