About the Printer
The
Tandy DMP
135
Dot-Matrix Printer
is
a high-density, dot-matrix
printer that can print
in
a variety of type styles.
It
prints:
• Proportionally spaced characters
• Monospaced characters (standard, condensed, and compressed)
• NLQ (near-letter-quality) correspondence characters
• Italic characters (Epson mode only)
• Superscript/Subscript
• Graphics
Control codes program the printer to print special enhancements (italic,
bold, and so on), set character type,
or
adjust line feed and spacing. You
can select either the I
BM
or Epson control code set. When you select the
IBM code set, the printer emulates the IBM Proprinter
II
(the factory de-
fault setting).
The
Epson code set emulates the Epson FX-850 printer.
By
selecting the appropriate operation mode, you can use the printer with
MS-DOS-compatible systems without code conversion and get the same
results
as
you would with an IBM ProprinterIIor
Epson FX-850. For de-
tails, see "Setting the Print Function
(DIP)
Switches."'
A character set
is
a specific grouping of letters, numbers, and special sym-
bols that you can print on your printer.
The
DMP
135
has
five
character
sets. Refer to the
OM
P /35 Dot-Matrix Printer Technical Reference
manual to
see
the character
sets
named below.
In
IBM mode:
• IBM Character Set 1
• IBM Character Set 2
• IBM All Character Set
In
Epson mode:
• Italic Character Set
• Graphic Character Set
You
can use two types of
paper
with the printer:
• Tractor-fed, 4.5- to lO-inch computer fanfold
paper
with guide holes
• Friction-fed, single-sheet typewriter paper
About
the Priuter
With the front panel controls, you can set various printer features. including character pitch, left and right margins, and font (character style). You
can also use the front panel controlstomove fanfold

Installing the Paper Rack
The
paper rack enables fanfold and single-sheet
paper
to feed smoothly
into the printer. Before printing, be sure to install the paper rack as described for single-sheet paper
or
for fanfold paper.
For single-sheet paper: Hold the paper rack upright and insert
it
into the
slanted grooves on both sides of the printer.
The
grooves of the rack must
slide over the tabs of the printer,
as
shown below.
Then,
tilt the paper
rack so that
it
rests
ina
slanted posilion.

as
described for single-sheet
paper. Then, pull the rack up along the slanted grooves and place the
paper rack
in
its horizontal position,
as
shown below.

With the paper rack
in
a horizontal position, you can slideitforward or
backward about
1/4
inch. Slideitforward to lock the printer cover and
tear off the paper. Slide
it
backward to open the cover.
You
can adjust the paper rack's paper guides according to the paper width
you are using. Locate the small square scale on the upper left side of the
paper rack. (You might need
to
slide the left paper guide out
of
the way
to find it.) Position the left paper guide within the range
of
this scale. The
L on the scale shows the standard setting for 8 1/2-inch-wide paper. Even
when using narrow paper, be sure to position the paper so that the left
edge
is
against the left paper guide. This ensures proper operation of the
PAPER
OUT
indicator and reduces the possibility of a paper jam.
To
ad-
just the right paper guide, place a sheet
of
paper against the paper rack's
left paper guide. Then, slide the right paper guide to the left until
it
touches the right edge of the paper.

GettingStarted
Selecting the Printer Driver
in
Your Software
When you install most applications software, the program prompts you to
enter the type
of
printer that you are using. Usually you select the approp-
riate file, known as a "printer driver," from a list of choices that appears
on the screen. The printer driver provides important data about your
printer so that
it
operates correctly with the software.
For best results, choose one
of
the following printer drivers,ifthey are
available
in
your software.
• Tandy
DMP
135
• IBM Proprinter II
• Epson FX-850
If
your software does not offer any of these choices, orifthe printer does
not seem to print correctly using the selected driver, try one
of
the printer
drivers listed below:
• Tandy DMP
132
(IBM mode)
• IBM Proprinter
• Tandy DMP
130
(IBM mode)
• IBM Graphics Printer
• Epson FX-800
Note: Be sure to set the DIP switches to select the appropriate mode (IBM or Epson) according to the printer driver
you select
in
your software. Refer to the following chart for
the correct settings. Turn off the printer before changing the
DIP switch settings. After you change the settings, turn the
printer back on again. (Or, if you prefer, change the
DIP
switch settings while the power switchisstill on. Then, turn
the printer off and then on again.) This cycling of the power
causes the printer to recognize the new
DIP
switch settings.

Print Head Adjustment Lever
25
Getting Started
It
is
important to adjust the print head according to the type
of
paper and
the
number
of
copies you
are
printing. If the gap between the print
head
and the paperistoo
narrow, this can cause:
• Print head damage
•
Paper
damage at the left
or
right margin
• Inaccurate line feeding
• Ribbon to loosen
or
come off its guide during printing
If
the gap between the print head and paperistoo wide, this can cause:
• Print head damage
• Light printing
• Missing characters or dots

The
specific power-up sequence depends on your computer. Consult your
computer
manual for details on powering
up
your
computer
when con-
nected to peripheral devices, such
as

When you connect the
DMP
135 to your
computer,
you must turn on the
printer every time you turn
on
the computer. Turning the printer
on
and
off,
or
simply leaving the printer off, while operating the

Getting Started
Self Test
The
DMP
135
has a built-in self-test function which checks the print quality and general printer operation before you begin using the printer. However, this test does not check the printer port.
Before running the self test, be sure to load the printer with 9.5-inch-wide
paper. The self test prints from one end of the platen to the other and the
wide paper protects the platen.
Caution: Printing on the platen can
shonen
the life of the
platen and the print head.
To run the self test:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Press and hold [LFIFF] while you turn on the printer.
3. When you hear a beep, release the button. The printer prints the
96
ASCII characters preprogrammed into the printer.
During the self test, the DMP
135
prints alternately
in
standard font for
five lines and correspondence quality font (Courier) for
five
linesina con-
tinuous pattern.
Press [ON/OFF LINE] to temporarily stop the self test. Press [ON/OFF
LINE] again to resume the test.
To
end the self test, turn off the printer.

Care and Maintenance
Care and Maintenance
General
• Always insert
paper
before operating the printer. Be careful not to
print past the edges
of
the
paper.
• If you accidentally
drop
anything into the printer, turn off the printer
and carefully remove the object.
• When you turn off the
DMP
l35, the printer loses all
data
storedinits
buffer. Keep this
in
mind as you do routine maintenance.
Remember
that toggling the printer's power switch can also cause erratic operation
of
the
CPU.
• Use only a lint-free cloth to clean the printer's surface.
Do
not use sol-
vents
or
harsh
cleaning agents. You
can
use
a mild detergent solution
or
desk-top cleaner if you use it sparingly.
• You must
keep
the printer dry.Ifyou accidentally spill water on it, turn
off the printer immediately and wipe it dry.
Do
not turn on the printer
until it
is
completely dry.
• When printouts
are
too light
or
too
dark,
check to see if you correctly
set the print head positioning lever.
Care
•
Do
not
use
solvents or alcohol when cleaning the cover.
• Keep the printer out
of
direct sunlight.
c.
Place the printer
on
a stable surfacetoprevent
excessive
vibration dur-
ing operation.
• Graphics printing places a heavier load on the print head than does
printing text characters.
If
you print too many block graphics characters
or
other
graphics characters without pausing, the print head could over-
heat.
Note: When you must print graphics continuously, be sure
to pause the printing for
at
least a few minutes after printing
about 50 lines. This lets the print head cool and prevents
damage to the print head.
39
Gelling Started
Maintenance
• If the print head becomes clogged with ribbon material
or
paper
lint,
carefully remove such material with a finely pointed tool (preferably a
toothpick).
• A print head's life expectancy
is
roughly 100 million characters. When
poor
print quality, sticking ribbon,
or
bent
character
printing occurs,
you should have the print head checked
and,
if necessary, replaced by
a Radio Shack service technician.
If
You Have Problems
If
the
printer
fails to
operate
properly, try to correct the problem
by
using
the
troubleshooting guide on the next page. Check and adjust as de-
scribed.
If
this does not help,
be
sure
that
you connected all cables se-
curely.
If
you
cannot
