Preface

About this Manual

This manual covers the printer including the Control Unit. The Control Unit is an
integral part of the printer which determines the functionality of the printer
especially regarding the user and system interface. Due to the variety of Control
Units different printer models are defined which, with respect to the user
interface however, all behave the same.

The structure of this manual is such that the operator is led step-by-step through
the various procedures. Starting with unpacking and installation of the
consumables it moves on to setting-up configuration parameters and ends with
the mounting of options.

The manual is divided into the following chapters:

1. Getting Started

This chapter covers the unpacking and setting-up of the printer and the
installation of the consumables. By the end of this chapter the printer should
be fully functional and tested in its primary form. It is not yet connected to
the host computer system and no options are mounted.

2. Operating the Printer

This chapter discusses in great detail the operation of the operator panel, all
menu functions, and the general operation of the menu. General status
messages are also described.

3. Configuring the Printer

This chapter explains how to use the Profiles and to configure the printer so
that it can communicate with the corresponding system environment.
Furtheron this chapter includes a view of the Menu Structure and thoroughly
describes in a short form the printer's operating controls. Finally you will find
a description of the Configuration Programs Profiler and Profile Selector .
The Profiler is a menu controlled program and supports the printer
configuration via PC. Different configurations can be downloaded into the
printer.
Profile Selector is a program for quick access to a profile.

3.1 What is Configuring ?

This chapter describes how to use the control panel and menu to set up or
configure your printer so that the printer and your computer system can
communicate correctly with each other.

The important menus are:

S INFO MENU

3.1.1 Profiles

All parameters which characterise a print job and its corresponding form (e.g.

PAPER, PAPER LENGTH, FUSER TEMP.) are contained in one profile. In total
10 PROFILEs are available and can be either programmed via the operator

panel or by means of the utility called Profiler. The Profiler provides an utmost
comfortable way of creating profiles. More about the Profiler on next page.

There are two items in the OFFLINE MENU which deal with profiles, SELECT
PROFILE to activate a profile and CHANGE PROFILE to define its contens. All
parameter settings via the operator panel, via the Profiler or via PJL commands
are effecting the actually selected profile. The number of the actually selected
profile is shown in the first line of the operator panel. After switching on the
printer the last selected profile will be active.
The function RECALL FACTORY in the CONFIG. MENU is setting all
parameters of all profiles to the factory default values.
Different application use also diffent settings. All these settings for an

For example: Application A needs 8 inch fanfold paper with a top margin of one
line, application B processes 12 inch fanfold paper split up into 2 forms of
6 inch. Simply by pressing SELECT PROFILE the Profile containing the
information for the specific application requirements can be activated.

S Profiler

The Profiler represents a utility which can be used for printer configuration. It
provides the capability to program up to 10 profiles whose contents can be
defined and archived on a PC and downloaded into the printer. All relevant
configuration parameters are presented on the screen in a similar way as they
are shown on the printer’s operator panel display. The utility runs under
Windows 95 /Windows 98 or Windows NT.

Attention: The printer must be in the ONLINE state when profiles are

downloaded from the PC.

Note: For detailled description of the Programm see Paragraph 3.6

3.2 Printout of Standard Configuration 3.2.1 How to Start a SELF TEST

The factory default configuration can be printed within the TEST MENU and is
shown on the following page.

The upper part of the SELFTEST printout shows the actual selections and
parameter values.

Main functions appear in the first line of each menu block.
Second and following lines show the selection at subfunction level and the
selected parameters behind the "=" sign.

Below the menu section on the test page information is given about the
hardware and software configuration of the printer and stacker:

S FLASH memory size for printer firmware and fonts
S memory size (DRAM)
S Printer and Stacker firmware version
S Panel version
S available emulations

The rest of the page is filled up with a diagonal test pattern. The black frame
around the test page reflects the actual paper format. The default format is 12
inch for paper length and 8.25 inch for image width.

Panel keys are now used and associated display messages are shown for the
next steps. The following example demonstrates how to do so:

For details see chapter 4.2.

SS BASIC SETTINGS

In this menu mode it is possible to configure all the basic operation related
features of the Printer (e.g. Power Save, Language, or Menu Access).

S TEST MODE

This function initiates a printout of the parameter settings, Profile definitions,
and PCL typeface list. This printout is helpful for future reference and in case
a Profile need to be changed.
To actually start the print operation it is necessary to enter the OFFLINE
mode (by pressing and - see also Paragraph 3.2 and 3.3).

S RESET PRINTER

In case a print job needs to be cancelled this function interrupts a print
operation, flushes the data buffer, and resets the printer to a state as if it
were powered-on.

Note: Before resetting the printer the job must be cancelled on the host

system.

4.2.1 Submenu PAPER MENU
S PAPER

A choice out of three different paper sizes can be made:

A4
LETTER
CUSTOM.

If A4 or LETTER is selected the printer automatically sets all parameters
which define the allocation of the print image on a page. Those parameter
values are in accordance to the PCL5 definition.

In case of A4 the contents of an A4 page is printed asymmetrically onto a
12 inch form which leads to a larger bottom margin than top margin.

In case of LETTER the page contents are printed onto an 11 inch form.

Note: If the paper size is changed from one format into another the printer

selects the default values of the format describing parameters
(PAPER LENGTH, IMAGE WIDTH etc.) which belong to the choosen
paper size.

Paper size (PAPER) can be selected at the control panel or by
means of PCL- or PJL-commands from the host system (see also
PAPER SELECTION).

1)

The distance between print lines is determined in lines/inch; selectable
values are: 1,2,3... 48 lines/inch. Default is 6 lines/inch.

S TOP MARGIN

1)

This parameter defines the number of lines between the top edge of the page
and the first print line. Any value from 0 up to 999 lines can be choosen;
factory default value is 0.

S LEFT MARGIN

1)

This parameter defines the displacement of the first print position of a print
line from the left border of the printable area. Any value from 0 up to 999
positions can be selected; factory default value is 0.

S RIGHT MARGIN

1)

The parameter value defines the distance of the last print position within a
line from the left border of the logical page. Any value in the range from 0 up
to 999 and MAXIMUM can be selected; factory default is MAXIMUM.
Right Margin should only be set to a defined value if the application requires
a text formatting by the printer.

Note: Setting RIGHT MARGIN in applications wich download fonts or use

landscape orientation may cause loss of characters in a line.

S TEXT LENGTH

1)

The parameter defines the number of lines on a page; exceeding this limit
leads to a transition onto the next following page. Any value from 0 up to 999
can be selected; factory default value is 72. The parameter is ignored if
PERF. SKIP = OFF was selected.

S PERF. SKIP (PERFORATION SKIP)

1)

In case of PERF. SKIP = ON the printer takes the values of TOP MARGIN
and TEXT LENGTH into account on each page.

If PERF. SKIP = OFF is selected the printer prints over the perforation. At the
transition onto a next following page the values of TOP MARGIN and TEXT
LENGTH are ignored. Factory default selection is OFF.

4.2.3 HEXDUMP MENU 4.2.4 GENERAL MENU

The HEXDUMP MENU defines the execution of control sequences when the
HEXDUMP mode has been activated.

Note: The HEXDUMP MENU will only be displayed if EMULATION in the

GENERAL MENU is set to HEXDUMP.

S UEL COMMAND

Universal Exit Language commands can be set to RECOGNIZE or IGNORE.
That means this code can be executed in HEXDUMP mode or the command
is ignored and printed out as hex code. UEL commands are part of the
Printer Job Language (PJL).

Configuration of the basic operating parameters for a print job.

S EMULATION

The Emulation determines the printer's set of command codes.
Default emulation is PCL (PCL5E).
The function HEXDUMP is useful to analyze the data received by the printer.
Control codes are not executed, instead all data including command codes
are printed out in hexadecimal format and as ASCII characters. Any none­printable character, such as CR, is represented as a dot (.) in the ASCII list.

S AUTO FORM FEED

If the printdata does not fill a complete page or if there is no Form Feed
command (HEX 0C) at the end of a page this page is not printed. The page
contents remain in the printer´s memory if this parameter is set to OFF and is
printed when the page is fed manually. If AUTO FORM FEED is set to ON
such a not completed page is automatically printed out after a selectable time
period at the end of a print job. (Break in datastream) The time period can be
set from 1 to 120 second. The time out will also be activated at the end of
the print job.

S PAPER RETRACT

In general the paper is retracted into the start position if printing is resumed
after a stop.
If this menu function is set to OFF the form will never be moved backwards.
The non-retract mode shall be activated if critical paper or lables are in use
which should leave the printer immediately after printing. If those forms were
retracted lables might peel off or the hot media might get damaged when
touching mechanical parts in the paper path.

Note: ! The non-retract mode works only in conjunction with an engine

firmware equal or higher than ENGINE ID 10 (see SELF TEST).

S If the paper will be teared off in the non-retract mode, press the

black tumbler switch at the intelligent Paper Stacker (iPS) to bring
the paper exit tray to the lowest position. Now the pendulum
controlled the paper in the right way.

S If the operational mode is changed forth and back between PAPER

RETRACT = ON or OFF the paper must always be inserted newly
after such change.

Replacing the Waste Toner Container

In case the Waste Toner Container is already filled considerably it is advised to
replace it.

First lift the OPC Drum out of the printer and carefully set it aside on a clean
surface.

Note: Do not touch the green part of the OPC Drum with your fingers. Oil and

dirt will degrade print quality.

Do not expose the light-sensitive OPC Drum to room lighting or sunlight
any longer than necessary.

Now remove the old Waste Toner Container from its compartment close to the
Developer Unit. Close the filling hole with the green cap. Take care that the cap
fits tightly over the opening.

When shipped two Waste Toner Containers (14) are in the box of the Toner Kit.
Take one of them and put it into the compartment. Please observe that the
green cap is placed on the cap holder and not over the filling hole.

Changing the Cleaner Felt

If toner is refilled you should also check the status of the Cleaner Felt. The
Cleaner Felt is below the cover of the fuser unit at the rear of the printer.

If the Cleaner Felt is very dirty, you have to replace it. A new Cleaner Felt (15) is
in the box of the Toner Kit. Insert it below the top cover of the Fuser Unit at the
rear of the printer. After inserting the felt the top cover does not lock completely.
Don't worry about this, the printer top cover will provide the necessary pressure
to keep the Cleaner Felt cover tight.

Note: Depending on the used paper type it may be necessary to change the

Cleaner Felt more often.

5.2 Replacement of the OPC Drum Note: Please do not touch the green part of the OPC Drum wiht your fingers.

If the print quality gets worse or as a preventive measure after printing about
30,000 pages the OPC Drum (11) should be replaced. The display indicates this
status by the message "EXCHANGE DRUM". This message is considered being
a warning, the user is free to continue printing. But with every new print job the
message will be displayed again.

It is only allowed to use an OPC Drum that has been released for the printer.
(For order numbers see Appendix C).

1. Open the top cover of the printer.

2. Remove the old OPC Drum carefully from the printer and set it aside on a
clean surface.

3. Remove the paper from the printer.

4. Clean the inside of the printer with the cleaning pads which are in the box of
the Cleaning Kit and pay special attention to the "Corona" wire below the
OPC Drum. Clean it with the brush which is also in the box of the Cleaning
Kit.

The OPC Drum is very light-sensitive, so it is wrapped up in lightproof foil.
Carefully remove the drum from its foil container.

Oil and dirt degrade print quality.
Do not expose the light-sensitive OPC Drum to room lighting or sunlight

any longer than necessary.

Insert the new OPC Drum into the printer behind the Developer Unit. Gently
press the top of the OPC unit to make sure it is fully down. The opening for
toner waste is now over the Waste Toner Container (14).

7.3.1 Printer stops when the paper exit tray is full

The height of the pile of paper in the paper exit tray is controlled. The Intelligent
paper Stacker indicates stacker full if the tray touches the lower frame of the
stacker during the paper press cycle. The printer stops with the display
message: “STACKER FULL”. To continue printing the paper has to be removed
out of the tray (see chapter 2.3 Status and Error Messages).

7.3.2 Paper not Stacked in the Right Order

Check if the fold behind the first page is the positive one. If not remove the
paper and insert it again with a positive fold (see also chapter 7.2.1 Inserting

Paper).

7.3.3 Proceeding after Power Down or Inadvertently Power Off

The paper must be inserted again before a new print job is startet. The fold
behind the first page must be positive (see also chapter 7.2.1 Inserting Paper).

laser printer is characterized by uniform physical properties, freedom from
dust and lint, accurate fold, and proper packaging. Proper packaging
protects media from moisture and physical damage.

Avoid paper with curled or bent edges, spots, dust or lint, wrinkling, or
inaccurate size. All these characteristics can cause misfeeding, jamming
premature wear out of printer parts, or unsatisfactory print quality.

S Basis weight

Basis weight (also called grammage) is an important charactaristics of
paper. Paper that is too light or too heavy can cause misfeeds, misstacking,
paper jams, poor image quality, or excessive mechanical wear out in the

A-1.4 EURO Symbol Support

The printer supports printing of the EURO symbol as printer resident character
within the following code tables (see also Appendix B):

S ISO 8859 / 15 LATIN 9
S PC - 858 Multilingual
S SYMBOL
S WINDINGS

Note: The EURO symbol is not supported in combination with all printer

typefaces.

One Physical page can be spitt into Logical pages by the parameter
LENGTHFACTOR.
The Pagelength must be configured or programmed according to the physical
length of one page to enshure proper function of the attached stacker. Up to 20
logical pages can be placed on one physical page. The lengthlimit for an
attached stacker (minimum pagelength is 8 inch) is only valid for the physical
pagelength. Two Logical pages of 6 inch can be printed on physical paper with
12 inch length with LENGTHFACTOR = 2.

The following example shows the PJL commands for an application with
imagewidth = 8.5 inch and a logical pagelength of 3 inch to be printed on a
physical pagelength of 12 inch:

ESC%-12345X@PJL SET PAPER = CUSTOM
@PJL SET IMAGEWIDTH = 8.5
@PJL SET PAGELENGTH = 12
@PJL SET LENGTHFACTOR = 4
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL

ESC E....PCL file page 1....FF....page 2....FF

....page3....FF ESC E....

Note: PJL or PCL commands which are related to the physical page like paper

source, number of copies, and cut force a feeding of the paper to the top
of the next physical page.

These settings are valid until a PJL RESET condition. ( PJL SET
command)

Printer Job Language Technical Reference Manual by Hewlett-Packard, Inc.

A-2.1 Basic Rules for PJL Programming

Printer Job Language (PJL) command sequences are used to define all specific
parameters for one print job. PJL commands provide the following major
functions:

S Printer language switching between jobs
S Job separation
S Printer configuration
S Status readback from the printer to the host

At the beginning of every print job the UEL command ( ESC % - 1 2 3 4 5 X ) is
used to switch from the print emulation (PCL, Postscript, HEXDUMP...) to the
PJL command level.

A-2.1.1 PJL Syntax Rules

S Use only uppercase characters
S All parts of a PJL command line must be separarted by a <SP> (Space)
S Every PJL command line must start with the prefix @PJL.
S Every PJL command line must end with <LF> (Line Feed)

Sample of typical PJL command line:

@PJL <SP>DEFAULT<SP> LPARM : PCL <SP> PTSIZE = 12<LF>

PREFIX <SP> COMMAND <SP> Com. Modifier : Value <SP> Variable = Value<LF>

Note: The fist PJL command after the UEL must start with @PJL....! (no <SP>)

S Barcode text control S Barcode ratio

This command controls the optional printing of barcode data as an added text This command selects one of the available ratios between wide and narrow
string. bars (spaces).

ESC * z P1 Q

P1 = 0 disable text
P1 = 1 text above barcode with OCR-B font
P1 = 2 text below barcode with OCR-B font (default)
P1 = 3 text above barcode with actual selected font
P1 = 4 text below barcode with actual selected font

The text string is centred to the printed barcode.

Note: S For EAN code with OCR-B font the pitch is not 10 CPI.

S For actual fonts the vertical distance between barcode and text is

equal to the maximum bar width.The programmer has to ensure that
the actual selected font is adequate to be printed in combination
with the barcode.

S Barcode module width

Horizontal scaling of the barcode is selectable by the module width.
This parameter defines the width of the narrow bar in PCL units.

ESC * z P1 S P1 = module width in PCL units

Value range is from 1 to 32,767. The default values for the different barcode
are described in the table on the next page.

Note: For barcode types EAN and UPC the predefined values given with the

scaling factor (see table) must not be modified.
For Postnet and KIX code the module width is fixed.

ESC * z P1 O P1 = 2.0 ; 2.5 ; 3.0 ; default is 2.5

S Start and Stop characters A-5.3 Barcode Programming Examples

For barcode types EAN, UPC, Code 93, Code 128 and Postnet the printer
automatically adds start and stop characters. S Example for Code 39
For barcode type Code 39, 2 of 5 industrial and 2 of 5 interleaved the printer
adds start and stop characters only if they are not generated by the system. type = Code 39: ESC * z 0 V
For barcode type Codabar the application has to generate the start and stop Height = 0.6 inch ESC * z 180 H
characters. text = OCR-B above ESC * z 1 Q

Following start and stop characters are accepted by the printer:

Barcode Type Start Character Stop Character
Code 39 * *

2 of 5 types : ;
Codabar a, b, c, d, A, B, C, D t, n, *, e, A, B, C, D

Note: Following combinations (start / stop) are specified for Codabar, but not

checked by the printer:
(a / t) (b / n) (c / *) (d / e) (A / A) (B / B) (C / C) (D / D)

S Error checking characters

Error checking characters are added by the printer only for barcode types
Code 128, Code 93 and Postnet. For all other barcode types the application
has to generate error checking characters and transmit them to the printer.

S Unprinted areas

To ensure proper readability of a barcode unprinted areas in front and behind
the barcode are required. The printer does not insert these areas itself; the
amount of space has to be calculated by the application.
