CHAPTER 1

Setting up the printer

▌1.8 Using the operation panel

Most of the functions of this printer are governed by software, but you can monitor the printer s status by

looking at the lights on the control panel and for some procedures you will use the buttons.

• Control panel

- POWER LED (Green Color)

This indicator light is on when the power is turned on. It blinks when the printer is in the self test printing standby state. Always wait until this indicator light stops blinking before you start using the printer and before you turn it off.

- ERROR LED (Red Color)

When this indicator light is on (but not blinking), it means that the printer is out of paper or almost out of paper or the printer covers are open. When this light blinking, there is an error. (See "ERROR LED blinking pattern" (2.1) in Chapter 2.) If you see this light blinking, turn off the printer for a few seconds and then turn it back on. If the light is still blinking, call your supervisor or a service person.

- PAPER OUT LED (Red Color)

When this indicator light is on, it means that the paper near end. Replace the new paper roll. When ERROR and PAPER OUT indicator lights are on it means paper end. Install the paper roll.(See "Installing paper roll"(1.5)in Chapter 1.)

- FEED button

Use this button to feed paper or to start self test and for hexadecimal dump mode. (See the instructions "Self test" (1.7) in this chapter for self test.) (See the instructions "Hexadecimal dump" (2.6) in Chapter 2 for hexadecimal dump mode.)

1-7

▌1.9 Self test

The self test let you know if your printer is operating properly. It checks the printing quality, ROM version,

DIP Switch settings, memory switch settings and statistic data.

The test is independent of any other equipment or software, so it is a good idea to run it when you first set

up the printer or if you have any trouble. If the self test works correctly, the problem is in the other equipment

or the software, not the printer.

• Running the self test

1) Make sure the printer is turned off and the printer cover is closed properly.

2) While holding down the FEED button, turn on the printer and continue to hold until the paper begins to

feed. The self test prints the printer DIP Switch settings and memory switch settings. And cuts the paper

and pauses. (The power light blinks.)

3) Press the FEED button to continue printing the statistic data.

4) Press the FEED button to continue printing the rolling ASCII pattern.

5) The self test mode terminates after printing the rolling ASCII pattern automatically.

2) Remove the jammed paper and reload the paper roll as described in Chapter 1.

3) Close the rear cover.

4) Turn on the printer.

▌2.4 You want to check the operation of the printer by itself

• Self test

Try to run the self test to check that the printer works properly. See the self test instructions in Chapter 1

to run the self test. If the self test does not work, contact your supervisor or a service person.

If the self test works properly, check the following:

1) Check the connection at both ends of the interface cable between the printer and the computer. Also

make sure that this cable meets the specifications for both the printer and the computer.

2) The data transmission settings may be different between the printer and computer. Make sure that the

printer’s DIP Switch settings for data transmission are the same as the computer’s. You can see the

printer’s interface settings on your self test printout.

NOTES

If the printer still does not print, contact your dealer or a qu alified service person.

2-3

▌2.5 Printing is poor

Check the state of ribbon cassette. If the ribbon cassette life ends, replace the ribbon cassette as

described in Chapter 1.

NOTES

If the printer is still poor, contact your dealer or a qualified service person.

▌2.6 You want to check a software program

• Hexadecimal dump

This feature allows experienced users to see exactly what data is coming to the printer.

This can be useful in finding software problems. When you turn on the hexadecimal dump function, the

printer prints all commands and other data in hexadecimal format along with a guide section to help you

find specific commands.

• To use the hexadecimal dump feature, follow these steps:

1) After you make sure that the printer is off, open the rear cover of the printer.

2) Hold down the FEED button while you turn on the printer.

3) Close the rear cover.

4) Run any software program that sends data to the printer. The printer prints "Hexadecimal dump" and
