Safety Regulations

The printer R 9 fulfill the safety regulations according to DIN EN 60950-1 for computer systems.

The mains cable must be connected to a ground protected wall-socket. The selected voltage of the printer needs to fit to the local voltage.

The power plug must be easily accessible at any time so that it can be disconnected immediately in case of danger or for maintenance purposes.

Comme le câble de secteur sert de dipositif d'arrêt-urgence, sa connexion à l'imprimante doit être tout le temps accessible.

Before installing the printer, check the surrounding conditions in which the printer will be placed (see next page, Operating Environment).

During a thunderstorm you should never attempt to connect or disconnect any data transfer cables.

The power supply should only be opened and checked by authorized personnel. Repairs

and maintenance

may only be attempted by authorized personnel as well. Repairs done inappropriately may cause damage and severe danger for the user.

General Installation Precautions

To ensure optimum printer functionality and to avoid making service calls for problems that are not directly caused by the product itself, bear in mind the information provided in the following sections.

Electrical Power Supply

Make sure that the electrical wall outlet to which the printer is connected has a valid ground and that it is able to supply the power needed by the machine. A wall outlet without ground can cause functional problems and can be a safety hazard. Do not plug the printer to electrical wall outlets that are already being used by equipment that could cause electrical noise and excessive voltage fluctuations (fans and air conditioners, large photocopiers, lift motors, TV radio transmitters and signal generators, high frequency safety devices, and so on).

Common office equipment (calculating machines, typewriters, small photocopiers, terminals and personal computers) can share the same outlet as long as they do not cause excessive electrical noise.

Page 4

Environmental Conditions

The environmental conditions in which the product can work properly referring to a normal airconditioned office environment (environmental temperature of 15 up to 35 °C, relative humidity of between 15 and 85%).

During machine storage and operation, make sure that condensation does not form as the result of extreme environmental variations. Dust, dirt and smoke can cause the parts in motion to wear excessively, short circuits (in the presence of a high degree of humidity). High temperatures and low humidity can cause problems due to static electricity.

Safety Regulations

Locating the Machine

 The printer must be installed on a flat, vibration free surface.  Do not position the machine near air conditioning systems, heat sources or in direct

sunlight.

 Do not obstruct the printer's ventilation slots.  If the printer is installed in a cabinet, make sure that it has good ventilation so as to

avoid

overheating.

 Install the printer in a position so that paper jams can be cleared easily.

Work Environment

An environment that is too cold, hot or humid could be the cause of certain malfunctions. The machine must not be positioned near air conditioning system vents or exposed to direct sun light. Make sure that the machine's internal ventilation slots are not blocked, especially if the printer is installed in furniture.

Printer Operating Condition

Check that the internal parts of the machine have no dirt deposited or residue of paper or ink that could interfere with the performance of the printer's different components. Make sure there is no internal damage caused by the insertion of documents with metal clips, staples, pins or similar. Ensure that the parts specified are correctly lubricated.

6.1. What is Configuration?

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

Communication between the two requires that both, the computer operating system and the printer have the same communication settings or features. The most important of those are:

 bit/character,  baud rate,  parity,  stop bits,  DSR.

You may also need to change some of the printer's other features depending on your hardware and application requirements, for example:

 special forms  paper handling.

The MENU mode allows you to access the configuration memory. All settings of the printer are stored in this memory and can be printed. The possible settings are described in detail on the following pages.

The standard parameter setting can be printed by using the function PRINT MENU. The following steps show which keys to use to start this printout.

Then, following the Printer Identification and in the next line a needle test. The next part of the printout is a

list of the MACRO settings. In this case MACRO 1 is marked with an asterisk (*) which identifies it as the active macro.

Note: A “Macro“ is a summary of application specific parameter settings for a user. It is

possible to have a

total of three macros, each with a different summary of VALUE settings for different applications.

Whenever you make modifications in the active macro without saving them you will find the new settings under the heading CURRENT USER. Unless they are saved, the modifications will stay active only until the printer is switched off. When the printer is switched on again the macro settings marked with the asterisk will be reactivated.

Note: The CURRENT USER will be selected by MACRO 1, MACRO 2, or MACRO 3.

6.25. ADJUSTMENT

Adjustment can be used to adjust and check some built-in parameters of the printer. It may enhance the print performance. Sometimes, it’s possible to improve the rationality of the page layout according to the practical environment. The printer has been adjusted corresponding to factory standard before it is delivered.

Warning: The user who wants to adjust these parameters of the printer should be a professional engineer or be guided by a professional engineer.

User usually should not change the settings. If the printer has to be adapted, the user should have already well understood the involved parameters. Or else the printer may miss normal function. The following introduce the adjustable parameters.

These parameters below allow manipulation on operator panel:

 Photosensor Value  Left Margin  Top Margin  Run In Test  Alignment Adjustment for Bi-directional Printing  Printing Photosensor Value  Inquire Photosensor Values  Resume HW Parameters

6.26. PHOTOSENSOR VALUE

All the photo sensor value has been adjusted to correct values in the factory, but after using it for many days, some unexpected change may happen for some reason, such as using unacceptable paper. In order to make the printer work correctly, please adjust the photo sensor value again.

8.1. Optional Devices

Following optional devices can be provided:

 Serial interface port 2  USB interface (in preparation)

Add the second interface port Printer has basic configuration of one standard serial and parallel communication interface. At the rear of printer there is a second interface installation slot, this slot is be used in the standard Version by the parallel interface. A special version of PR 9 can be provide without the parallel interface port.

This slot can be used than for option boards and cards as below:

 Second serial interface board and USB interface board  Second serial interface board or  USB interface board

Note: When printer equipped with second or more other data communication interface

boards, interface

working mode can be selected by menu setup configuration.

 Working with single communication port  Printer can only work according to the interface mode and emulation selected by

menu configuration,

even if printer has been equipped with more interface boards.

 Working with dual-port  If printer has been equipped with option interface board, operator can set up printer

working mode

to be dual-port mode through the operator panel to meet different usage requirement.

 If printer has been installed second serial port board and USB interface board, there

are only two serial ports( first serial port and second serial port) can work synchronously. Under this configuration, printer can check witch port is active. Any one of these two ports, if its data has been received, printer will be under the control of this port, and be kept in this state till this port task is end. Two ports are independent. And two ports have the same configuration except emulation mode.

 Emulation mode can be shifted by commands.  If printer has been installed with second parallel interface board and configured as

dual-port activity, it will check witch port buffer has data. If any one of these two ports detect data has been received, printer will be under the control of the port and it will be kept in this state till port task is end. Dualport functionality and corresponding parameters can be selected though operator panel. Under the especial circumstance, each port can has its own emulation mode, and using commands can shift emulation mode.

 If printer hardware configuration has two interface and the setup item interface in

the menu is UAL then it can print out two interface corresponding emulation configuration in self-test sheet. Printer can set which port to be active and emulation mode according to host communication port

Troubleshooting

How to Use This Section

There are some examples, which will help you to solve the printer troubles that may occur during use. Warning: If there are mechanical or electrical troubles, don’t repair by yourself. Ask your service center for help. If you cannot find the troubles in the following pages, please contact your local service office for

technical support.

 Find the category in which your problem occurs. The problem categories are:  Power-related Problems  Uncompleted Power On  Ribbon or Carriage related Problems  Paper-related Problems  Print-related Problems  No Printout  Find the symptom description that most closely matches the printer symptom.  Try the first suggestion under that heading.  If the suggestion does not cure the problem, try the next suggestion.  If none of the suggestions enable you to continue printing, or if the fault is not listed,

contact your

service office.

12.1 Power-related Problems

 The power indicator does not come on when power is switched on.  Check that the power cord and plug are securely fitted to the printer and to an electrical outlet.  Ask for the power connector connections to be verified.  Ask for the building electrical supply to be verified.

12.2 Uncompleted Power On

After you powered on the printer, the print head does not return to the left edge, which means the

printer did not finish the internal self test.

 Check whether the component used to protect the print head and the sponge have

been

removed or not.

 Check if there is any object which is blocking the motor.  Check whether the top cover is closed or not.  Restart the printer to try again.  Check whether the print head moves smoothly or not.  S heck whether the ribbon box is settled correctly or not.

12.3 Ribbon or Carriage-related Problems

Ribbon Problems

 Make sure that the ribbon is:

o Stretched correctly; o Not worn thin or dry;

o Not torn or damaged in any other way; o Not jammed. o If the ribbon box is damaged, replace it with a new one.

Page 77

Troubleshooting

12-2

Carriage does not move smoothly

 Examine the paper pathway. Remove any obstructions. Check that all packing

material is

removed.

 Examine the carriage area for obstructions. Remove where necessary.

12.4 Paper-related Problems

The printer does not accept the sheet

 S Check whether the document is within specifications or not  S Check whether the document is inserted and aligned correctly or not

Fanfold Paper is not positioned at perforation for tear-off feature

 Select the correct form length using the Set-up feature.  Reset top of form by performing a Parking function.

Paper tears or jams

 Examine the paper path; remove any obstructions.

 Paper is ropy, such as crimp.  Multi-carbon does not bond well together.  Too thick, too thin or too many sheets of paper.  There is residue of paper or fibre on the printing media.  Paper with clip or pin (which would damage the printer seriously)

Paper jam with printer including the optional Tractor Unit

 Is the fanfold paper too loose or too taut between the tractors?  If the holes in the paper are deformed at their outer edges, the paper is too taut.  If the paper rises between the tractors, it is too loose.  Readjust the tractor spacing so that the paper lies smoothly but without any tension.  Ensure that the paper is horizontally aligned on the pins.

12.5 Print-related Problems

Note: The PR 9 printer has the function of overheating protection. If overheating protection

will be active the printer may slow down printing speed or even stop printing after a long time printing (until print head’s temperature returns normal). This function can prevent print head from being destroyed if print head is over heated.

Print faint or of poor quality.

 Have you used the correct paper? See Chapter 6 Technical Data which contains

a full specification of the paper you can use. Replace the paper if it does not match the specification.

 Make sure that the ribbon is stretched correctly.  Does the ribbon need changing? Replace it with a new ribbon if necessary.  Is the ribbon cartridge properly installed? Adjust as necessary.

Characters do not print evenly or are not uniform in pitch

 Examine the paper pathway for dirt or other obstruction that may cause the gap

between

print head and platen to vary. Remove the obstruction.

 Incorrect installation of ribbon box or the ribbon tied.

Part of printed text is missing (loss of data)

 If you are using Serial communication check the buffer control setting in

Set-up.

 Check the data flow control setting on the host computer.

Dot Missing

 If white lines appear on characters at certain fixed position, there are probably several needles

broken or crooked. When this happens, please contact your printer supplier to replace the damaged printhead.

Note: Please avoid printing on the edge of the paper! It may cause printer needle broken.

12.6 No Printout

Self-test printout does not start

 Make sure that you have closed the cover.  Check if paper is loaded in the printer.  Check if ribbon cassette is installed correctly on printer.

Printing does not start

 Check if the physics and logic connection between printer and host system are

correct and at least one

LED should be light.

 Check if LCD displays ON LINE and check if the communication interface

parameters have been set up

correctly.

 Make sure that the printer is connected to the host computer.  Make sure that connectors are properly fixed at

both ends.

 Make sure that the printer is receiving data from the host computer.  Make sure that the correct protocol is enabled.  Make sure that you have selected the correct port (if the automatic feature has not

been selected).

 Make sure that paper is loaded.  Make sure that the ribbon is installed.  Examine the ribbon path. Does the ribbon pass in front of the whole print head?  Adjust the ribbon if necessary.
