General Safe ty Preca utio ns

Observe the following precautions at all times to ensure safe operation of the printer.

Read all instructions and save them for future use.

Follow all safety notices and instructions printed in this manual and marked on the printer.

The operator-accessible power switch does not shut off all power to the printer. You must unplug the power cord to shut off all power to the printer.

The printer relies on protective devices in the building installation for protection. The printer must be connected to a 30 Amp, 250 V outlet.

Do not operate the printer in a room which is not properly ventilated. It is recommended that the room be at least 1,000 cubic feet with one air exchange every two hours.

Remove packaging materials carefully and save for possible future use. If the printer is powered on without removing all internal tape and packing, the printer may be damaged.

Keep combustible materials away from the printer. Dispose of used toner properly, as it is flammable.

Keep away from components in the printer that are potentially hazardous or easily damaged. For example, the fuser unit becomes very hot under normal operating conditions, and several components use high voltage.

Do not block or obstruct any cabinet ventilation slots. Never spill liquid on the printer. Use only approved cleaning agents

and methods. Put nothing on the power cord. Do not locate the power cord where

people will walk on it. Do not place the power cord under any carpet.

Do not lean on or put heavy objects on top of the printer. Do not put your hand into the power paper stacker when the printer

is in operation. Turn off the power immediately if the printer emits an unusual noise

or smell. Do not look directly at the flash lamp light.

• Power stacker (optional)

Emulations

Your printer comes equipped with the Printronix® LinePrinter Plus® emulation software (which emulates an impact printer). Printronix LinePrinter Plus includes the following printer protocols:

• P-Series

• P-Series XQ

• Serial Matrix

Chapter 1 About The Printer

/PGL

III XL

FX-1050

• Proprinter

• Epson

Printronix LinePrinter Plus provides portrait and landscape image orientation. Automatic 1-up, 2-up, 4-up, and gray bar overprinting are also provided. The emulation also offers optional proportional (scalable) fonts.

The following optional emulations are also available:

• IGP

• IGP/VGL

• PCL5

• IPDS™

For specific information on each emulation, see the appropriate emulation manual.

Fonts And Forms

The printer provides a variety of resident fonts. The emulation you are using determines what resident fonts are available. For example, the LinePrinter Plus emulation provides CG Times, Letter Gothic, Courier, OCR-A, and OCR-B as standard sets of fonts.

With either the LinePrinter Plus or PCL 5 emulations, you can load additional fonts into printer memory from the host computer. The additional fonts can be loaded into the printer memory using the download procedure or using host commands. The additional fonts can be loaded into RAM or Flash memory. If the additional fonts are loaded into RAM, they will be lost when the printer is reset or powered off. Additional fonts are accessed by host commands.

You can store forms together with fonts. The storage space for forms and fonts depends upon the amount of printer memory and/ or non-volatile Flash memory space available. You can manipulate different fonts and/or forms depending upon the emulation installed.

2 Operation

Installation Overview

The installation and setup of your printer is intended to be done by a service provider who has been trained and authorized by Printronix. Your service provider is also responsible for doing a preinstallation site survey, unpacking the printer, connecting the power and host data cables, and installing the first set of consumable items in the printer. Depending on the terms of your service contract, your service provider might also power on your printer and configure it. As the owner of the printer, it is your responsibility to provide adequate ventilation and power for the printer.

Chapter 2 Loading Paper

Loading Paper

The following section explains how to load fanfold paper. To load cut sheet paper, go to page 31.

Loading Fanfold Paper

IMPORTANT

When loading fanfold paper, be sure the leading edge of the paper has a clean, separated perforation (without ragged edges or paper chaff).

NOTE: If you leave the printer on and replace paper, it will resume

printing where it left off when you put it online.

To load fanfold paper, perform the following steps. Repeat this procedure whenever top-of-form must be reset (e.g., after clearing a paper jam, loading new paper, etc.). For details on clearing paper

jams, refer to Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting."

If your printer has the optional power paper stacker installed, set the stacker page length adjustment on the side of the power stacker to match the paper length to be used.

Place the fanfold paper box under the tractor unit.

To prevent jams, place the first fold of th e paper fac ing towar d the printer as shown.

4. Unlock only the right tractor by pushing forward on the tractor lock.

5. Open the left and right tractor gates and place the paper about half-way onto the tractor pins.

Do not push the paper past the tractors into the area of the paper jam sensor.

6. Close the left tractor gate.

Chapter 2 Loading Paper

7. Move the right tractor to the left or right until its pins line up with the holes in the right edge of the paper, then close the right tractor gate.

NOTE: When you place the paper on the tractors, you should

introduce a slight amount of side-to-side tension into the paper. The right tractor must be set far enough to the right so that there are no wrinkles, looseness, etc. in the paper. Be careful not to set the right tractor too far to the right, however, as too much tension may cause the paper holes to tear away from the tractor pins.

8. Lock the right tractor with the tractor lock.

9. If you are reloading paper following a “FAN-FOLD PAPER

EMPTY” message with the printer power on, press ONLINE to place the printer online. The printer automatically sets the physical top of form at the leading edge of the paper and resumes printing.

NOTE: Occasionally, paper may become moist and wavy, resulting

in poor print quality. If this occurs, remove the wavy sheets of paper from the cassette and replace them with those from a new package.

In order to minimize the possibility of a paper jam:

• Only use xerographic quality paper.

• Load paper in a cassette which has been adjusted for the

exact paper size. (To set the cassette for the paper size, see page 34.)

• Do not gat her loose paper for use.

• Do not use wrinkled, folded, or moist paper.

• Do not leave paper in the cassettes overnight.

• Always store unused paper in a clean, dry area protected

from sunlight.

• If a paper package is opened but not fully used, rewrap

and seal the package and store it properly for future use.

Chapter 2 Loading Paper

Changing Cassette Paper Size ( Optio nal Procedure)

The cut sheet option comes with four cassettes (paper trays) preconfigured for either U.S. or Metric paper sizes. Should the configurations of these cassettes not meet your needs, you can reconfigure the cassettes as described below, or you can purchase additional cassettes.

Legend:

1) IPS (Paper Size Insert) 12/22

2) IPS 11/21

3) IPS 10/20

There are three holes in the forward end of the cut sheet paper feed cassettes. Plastic inserts are to be set in these holes according to the size of the cut sheet paper loaded in the cassette (as shown in the table that follows).

Cut Sheet Tray Linking (Optional Procedure)

When the plastic inserts in the cassette contact the paper size sensors on the printer, the printer determines that the paper cassette is in position and identifies the paper size.

The following table lists the available standard settings for the cut sheet paper feed cassette (O = plastic insert; --- = no insert):

Cut Sheet Tray Linking ( Optio nal Pro ced ure)

If your printer is equipped with the cut sheet paper feed option, you can use Tray Linking. Tray Linking is disabled by default. With Tray Linking enabled, when the active cut sheet paper tray runs out of paper, the printer will automatically switch to the other paper tray and continue printing.

To enable or disable this feature, see the Tray Linking option on the Paper Control menu. Refer to the

NOTE: We recommend that you disable Tray Linking if the two cut

sheet paper trays are of different sizes.

for details.

Chapter 2 Loading Paper

If the cut sheet trays are of different sizes, and Tray Linking is enabled, the printer will not switch to the alternate tray when the

first tray runs out of paper, nor will it display the usual “CUT-SHEET PAPER EMPTY” message on the LCD. Instead, the printer stops printing and displays the message “TRAY MISMATCH.”

To clear this message, either add paper to the active tray, or insert a matching tray in the alternate tray position. Then, press CLEAR on the control panel.

Custom T ray Wid t h (Optional Procedure)

If your printer is equipped with the cut sheet paper feed option, it is possible to override the standard cut sheet paper tray widths. This feature is called Custom Tray Width. The standard cut sheet paper tray sizes are listed in the table on page 35. Using Custom Tray Width and specially-modified paper trays, it is possible to use nonstandard paper stock that is wider or narrower than the standard paper widths. You can use nonstandard width paper either in the upper tray, in the lower tray, or in both trays.

If you are using the Custom Tray Width feature, you should adjust the width of the image in the printer to match your nonstandard width paper.

To set a custom tray width, see the Cust. Tray Width option on the Paper Control menu. Refer to the

NOTE: The ends of the drum are identical; there are no front or

back ends. Wipe inside the endcaps of the drum with a cloth to ensure that they are clean.

Replacing The Photoreceptor Drum

CAUTION

Exposing the drum to light shortens its life. Do not expose the drum to direct sunlight, and install it within five minutes under typical room lighting conditions. When removing the drum from its packaging, do not touch the surface of the drum, because fingerprints and scratches can damage the surface and cause poor print quality.

19. Using both hands, carefully slide the drum onto the drum auxiliary rod. When the drum reaches the area where the auxiliary rod connects to the drum shaft, lift the drum very slightly over the connection. Let the drum rest on the rubber rollers as you gently guide it into the printer.

The drum must rest on the rubber rollers to avoid being scratched.

20. When the drum is fully inserted into the printer, the end of the drum will be slightly recessed relative to the front of the printer and the rubber guide rollers should be visible. Slightly lift the drum up off of the rubber rollers and rotate the drum by hand while applying inward pressure, until the drum moves slightly farther into the printer and locks in place.

In order to position the drum slot and the drum shaft pin, push the drum in all the way to the back and rotate it until you feel it drop in place. Failure to lock the drum in place properly may cause severe damage to the printer.

Never force the drum onto the shaft. If it feels as though the drum is not seating properly, remove the drum and inspect the shaft for any foreign material or burrs.
