Chapter 2 Setting Up the Printer This chapter describes the steps you follow to unpack and set up your printer. It offers guidelines for finding a suitable location for the printer, explains how to install the ink cartridge, and describes how to connect the power and interface cable.
If your printer was damaged in shipping, or if any items are missing, notify your dealer immediately. As you unpack the printer, save the carton and packing materials in case you want to move or ship the printer in the future. Remove all the shipping tape and any Styrofoam packing material used to protect the printer during shipping.
Place the printer in a cool, dry, clean, well ventilated area . Avoid placing it in direct sunlight. Set the printer on a sturdy, level surface. Do not set the printer on an angled printer stand. Place the printer where the temperature is stable and set for human comfort.
Examining the Printer Before setting up your printer, you should become familiar with its components and understand their functions. From the Front.
Sheet feeder Stacks ups to 100 sheets of lette- or- legal size paper or 50 sheets of ledger-size paper for automatic feeding. You can also manually feed a single sheet, such as a transparency or card stock. Paper guide Aligns paper in the sheet feeder.
exit support from side to side to match the width of the paper on which you are printing such that the paper will be centered on the support. (How you attach this support is describe later in this chapter.) Dip switch cover Protects the DIP switches. You use these switches to change the printer's factory default settings.
Ink cartridge holder Allows you to install the ink cartridge (as described later in this chapter). Paper thickness lever Identifies the thickness of your paper. The setting you choose adjusts the distance between the print head and the paper. There are two settings: left for normal paper and right for thick paperor envelopes.
To avoid spilling ink, follow these precautions: Do not touch the print head on the ink cartridge or the sharp edges around it. Do not hold the ink cartridge, or place it on your table, with the print head facing down, except when you are installing it.
remove the orange tape. 4. Locate the cartridge holder on the right side of the printer. 5. Lift the green lock lever on the cartridge holder. CAUTION: Avoid touching the yellow mounting base on which you place the cartridge -- especially the circuit board on the side of the mounting base and the film cable that extends from the cartridge holder.
6. Fit the ink cartridge over the yellow mounting base with the print head facing down. (When installed correctly, the label on the cartridge will appear upside down.
Make sure there is no resistance when you press on the lock lever, and be sure no gap exists between the ink cartridge and cartridge holder. When secure, the ink cartridge makes contact with the circuit board inside the cartridge holder. 8. Close the front cover.
Chapter 3 Loading Paper This chapter descibes how to load paper, envelopes, thick paper, and transparencies in the printer. To ensure the best performance of your printer, you want to select the best paper and load it correctly.
Purchase a small amount of paper and test it to see if it meets your printing requirements. You can automatically feed single sheets of plain papers: You can stack up to 100 sheets of plain letter-size or legal-size paper (20lbs or 75 g/m), and up to 50 sheets of plain ledger-size paper (20lbs or 75 g/m), in in the sheet feeder.
2. Fan the paper before stacking it in the sheet feeder. 3. Align the stack of paper with the right edge of the sheet feeder and slide in the stack until it stops. Do not force the paper into the printer. Make sure the stack of paper does not exceed the paper limit mark or the tab on the right side of the sheet feeder.
6. Make sure the printer is on-line and start your print operation. Remove paper from the paper exit support before the count reaches 20 sheets. Printing On Envelopes You can stack up to 10 envelopes in the sheet feeder. Before printing on envelopes, you need to turn on the envelope mode.
When you are ready to load envelopes, follow these steps: 1. Make sure the printer is turned on and on-line. 2. Turn on the envelope mode by pressing and holding the LF/FF button, and then pressing the ON LINE button. The beeper sounds once and the indicator light for the current print mode blinks quickly.
5. Arrange the stack of envelopes on a firm surface and press down firmly on the edges to make the folds crisp. Press all the way around the envelopes to remove any curls and expel air from inside the envelopes. 6. Align the stack of envelopes with the right edge of the sheet feeder and slide in the stack until it stops.
After printing on envelopes, follow these stepa before printing on normal paper again: 1. Set the paper selection lever (on the right side of the sheet feeder) to the back postion. 2. Set the green paper thickness lever (inside the printer) to the left position.
5. Slide in the sheet until it stops, and hold it for about two seconds. The printer will automatically load the paper into position. 6. Start your print operation. Loading Paper in Landscape Orientation You can stack up to 100 sheets of plain letter-size paper in landscape orientation in the sheet feeder.
The printer prints faster on letter-size paper loaded in landscape orientation than it does when actually printing in landscape mode. When you load paper in landscape orientation, you can use reduction mode to fit even more text on next page. (See Chapter 4, Using the Operator Panel, for details on using reduction mode.
Chapter 4 Using the Operator Panel You can control basic printer operations through teh operator panel. The indicator lights reflect the current status and modes of the printer. Most software applications, such as word processing, spreadsheet, and database programs, automatically handle the printer control operations.
will stop. To start printing again, press the ON LINE button. Feeding Paper When the printer is off-line, you can use the LF/FF button to advance the paper in the printer.
Use HQ mode for most of your printing needs. The printer automatically prints in HQ mode unless you change the mode with the PRINT MODE button. Use the SHQ mode when you want extremely high quality print or you want the printer to be very quiet. In this mode, the printer uses a higher quality print density and consumes more ink than in HQ mode.
It is recommended that you use the reduction mode with MS-DOS applications only (not Windows applications). Windows applications have a fit-to-page feature that is not compatible with reduction mode. In reduction mode, the printer ignores the page length command and the perforation skip command.
Printing the Test Prints The printer includes two tests prints: the self test and the font list. Use these test prints to check the operation of the printer. To print the self tests, you must be automatically feeding paper. The self tests are not available when you are manually feedign paper.
In Epson LQ mode, the self test looks like this: Font List You can print this sample in both printer control modes: BJ-10 mode or Epson LQ mode. The printer prints all characters in the available print styles and pitches.
To start the font list, follow these steps: 1. Press the POWER button to turn off the printer. 2. Make sure paper is loaded correctly in the sheet feeder. 3. Press and hold the ON LINE button, and press the POWER button until the beeper sounds. Stopping the test To stop printing the font list, press and hold the ON LINE button for one second.
Performing Automatic Line Feeds You can set the printer so that it performs an automatic line feed each time it recieves a carriage return. Then, when the printer receives a carriage return code from the computer, it moves to the beginning of the next line.
Chapter 5 Using the Printer With Software Your printer will work with a wide variety of applications, such as spreadsheet, word processing, and graphics programs.
