About This Manual

This manual explains how to use your printer.

Safety Notices And Special Information

For your safety and to protect valuable equipment, it is very important that you read and comply with all information highlighted under the following special headings:

WARNING

CAUTION

A warning notice calls attention to a condition that could harm you.

WARNUNG

Ein Warhinweis dieser Art weist auf Verletzungsgefahr hin.

AVISO

Las notas de adviso llaman la atención sobre una condición que puede causar lesiones.

ATTENTION

Attire votre attention sur une opération pouvant présenter un danger.

AVVERTENZA

Un’indicazione di avvertenza segnala una condizione di pericolo suscttibile causare lesioni all’operatore.

A caution notice calls attention to a condition that could damage the printer.

Chapter 1 General Safety Precautions

IMPORTANT

An important notice provides information that is vital to proper operation of the printer.

NOTE: A note provides information and helpful tips about printer

operation.

Keys And Display Messages

Keys and indicators that are labeled on the printer are printed in uppercase letters. For example:

Press ENTER to select the value shown on the LCD.

Messages that appear on the control panel message display (called the Liquid Crystal Display, or LCD), are printed in uppercase letters and enclosed in quotation marks. For example:

“ENTER SWITCH LOCKED” appears on the LCD.

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.

About The Printer

Features

Printing speed is 35 pages per minute on continuous letter size and A4 size fanfold forms (long edge fed). In the optional cut sheet mode, printing speed is 27 pages per minute on letter size and A4 size cut sheet forms (long edge fed). The printer produces printed output with a 300 x 300, (or optionally) 240 x 240 or 400 x 400 dotsper-inch (dpi) resolution in either the continuous form or cut sheet printing mode. See Appendix B for printer specifications.

Features include the following:

• Continuous fanfold paper and optional cut sheet forms handling

• User-replaceable toner cartridge

• DuraFusion

• Liquid crystal display that provides operating and error

messages

flash fusion technology

Features

• Flash memory which stores emulations

• Non Volatile memory which stores preset configurations

• Serial and parallel interfaces

• Ethernet™ network adaptor (optional)

• Coax/Twinax interfaces (optional)

• 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.

Loading Fanfold Paper

3. Pass the leading edge of the paper between the lower paper guides, as shown in the illustration below.

IMPORT A NT

IMPORTANT

Legend:

1) Tractor Unit

2) Lower Paper Guides

3) First paper fold is toward printer.

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.
