Saving Money

Saving Money: Draft Mode

Saving Money: Forms Tear-Off

When printing drafts of documents, use either the High Speed

Draft or Super Speed Draft mode. These modes use less ink

than the Utility or Near Letter Quality Modes, thus extending

the life of your ribbon. The draft modes also print at high

speeds, reducing the time required to complete a print job.

The Forms Tear-Off feature allows a printed page (rear feed,

continuous form) to be torn off without wasting paper or

adjusting the printer.

Forms Tear-Off automatically moves the paper from the

initial printing position (print start position) to the tear-off

position, after a time interval (which you select through the

menu).

For more information, refer to “Using Your Printer, Print

Quality.”

The top of the page (perforation) is even with the tear bar.

The tear bar is located under the clear top of the access cover.

Paper remains in the tear-off position until the printer

receives more data. Then, the paper moves back down for

printing (retracts to the initial print position).

When printing stops, the paper will advance to the tear-off

position.

This feature is normally turned off.

Forms Tear-Off and the Top of Form settings interact.

For more information, refer to “Using Your Printer, Forms

Tear-Off” and “Using Your Printer, Top of Form.”

Saving Time

Saving Time: Paper Park

Saving Time: Internet Support

Your printer’s paper park feature allows you to print a single

sheet (cut-sheet) page without removing continuous feed

paper from the printer.

Oki Data provides support via the Internet.

Oki Data’s main web site, www.okidata.com, is the gateway to

Oki Data’s products and services.

For more information, refer to “Using Your Printer, Paper

Park.”

my.okidata.com is a powerful area of Oki Data’s web site

designed to help you personalize the information and service

you get from Oki Data.

Saving Time: Moving Through the Menu

You can find information at your convenience, at any time.

For more information, refer to “Service and Support, Internet

Support.”

When the printer is in Menu Mode, you can move forward or

backwards through the menu.

To move forward, press GROUP, ITEM, or Set, whichever is

appropriate.

Saving Time: Draft Mode

To move backward, press and hold SHIFT, then GROUP,

ITEM, or Set, whichever is appropriate.

When printing drafts of documents, use either the High Speed

Draft or Super Speed Draft mode. The draft modes print at

high speeds, reducing the time required to complete a print

job. These modes also use less ink than the Utility or Near

Letter Quality Modes, thus extending the life of your ribbon.

Operation Tips

Operation Tip: Top of Form

If you turn the platen knob when the printer is turned

on, you will cause the Top of Form to mis-align. Always

turn the printer off before turning the platen knob!

The first line prints at the red line of the plastic paper shield

(1) on the printhead.

Always determine the status of the Forms Tear-Off menu

setting BEFORE setting the Top of Form. Refer to

“Using Your Printer, Top of Form, Forms Tear-Off

Status (ON or OFF).”

The Top of Form and Forms Tear-Off settings of your printer

interact.

How you set the Top of Form depends on the status of the

Forms Tear-Off menu setting.

For more information, refer to “Using Your Printer, Top of

Form (TOF).”

Top of Form sets the print start position for the printer. It is

adjustable in increments of 1/144 of an inch. The amount of

adjustment is limited to avoid paper jams.

32T-18.eps

The Top of Form may be left at the factory default (1 inch),

changed for a single print job, or set to a new (permanent)

default.

Operation Tip: Turning the Platen Knob

Operation Tip: Control Access to the

Printer

If you turn the platen knob when the printer is turned

on, you will cause the Top of Form to mis-align. Always

turn the printer off before turning the platen knob!

You can control access to the printer by changing the setting

for the Operator Panel Function (in the Menu).

When the Operator Panel Function is set to Full Operation

(the factory default), all keys on the front panel operate.

Operation Tip: Using the Parallel Port

When the Operator Panel Function is set to Limited

Operation, the PRINT QUALITYand CHARACTER PITCH

keys don’t work. This prevents these settings from being

changed from the control panel when several people are

using the printer.

If you want to use the parallel port, you MUST remove

the Network Card from the printer.

See the OkiLAN 6120e User’s Guide for details.

For more information, refer to “Using Your Printer, Menu

Mode, Menu Settings Table, Setup, Operator Panel

Function.”

Installation

Installation Hints

• Your printer has a grounded, 3-prong plug as a safety

feature, and it will only fit into a grounded outlet. If you

can not plug it in, chances are that you have an older, non-

grounded outlet. Contact an electrician to have it

replaced with a grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter to

defeat the grounding.

• To avoid damaging the power cord, do not put anything

on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cord

becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.

• Read the setup and operating instructions in this

document carefully. Be sure to save this document for

future reference.

• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the

printer itself.

• Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put in on

something unsteady, it might fall and be damaged. If you

place it on a soft surface (such as a rug, sofa, or bed) the

vents may be blocked, causing it to overheat.

• The printer must be installed near a power outlet which

will remain easily accessible.

• The printer must be installed near a network outlet which

will remain easily accessible.

• Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed

on the back of the printer. If you are not sure, check with

your dealer or with your local power company.

Installation Overview

• If you’re using an extension cord or power strip with the

printer, make sure that the total of the amperes required by

all the equipment on the extension is less than the

extension’s rating. Generally, the total ratings of all

equipment plugged into any one power line should not

exceed 15 amperes. Don’t exceed this unless you know

that the power line your equipment is plugged into has a

rating above 15 amperes.

• To protect your printer from overheating, make sure no

openings on the printer are blocked. Do not put the printer

on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat register.

If you put the printer in any kind of enclosure, make sure

it is well ventilated.

To install your printer, follow the instructions in this section.

You must complete these steps for your printer to operate

properly.

If you have purchased an option package for your printer,

refer to the documentation you received with that option for

installation instructions.

Installation Location

• Place your printer on a firm, solid surface.

• Allow enough space on each side of the machine to easily

access the platen knob and the various paper feed paths.

• Make sure a power outlet is available nearby.

• If you are using the network connection, make sure a

network connection is available nearby.

Customizing the Installation

Your printer has many settings (defaults) that do not need to

be adjusted as part of a standard installation.

However, you may need to adjust settings to fit your

standards.

Some settings you may need to adjust as part of your

installation are:

• Top of Form (TOF)

• Paper Path

• Printhead Gap

To adjust these settings, refer to the appropriate section in

“Using Your Printer.”

Microline 320/321 Turbo/n

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Top of Form (TOF)

If you turn the platen knob when the printer is turned

on, you will cause the Top of Form to mis-align. Always

turn the printer off before turning the platen knob!

The Top of Form and Forms Tear-Off settings of your printer

interact.

How you set the Top of Form depends on the status of the

Forms Tear-Off menu setting.

The factory default setting for the Top of Form (where

the printing should begin) is one inch down from the top

of the page.

If Forms Tear-Off is activated (set to ON), set the Top of Form

using “Using Your Printer, Setting Top of Form, Forms Tear-

Off ON (StepA).”

Your software may print the first line of print above or

below where TOF is set. You may need to adjust the

TOF to meet your software’s needs. Use the procedures

in “Using Your Printer, Top of Form, Forms Tear-Off

Status (ON or OFF).”

If Forms Tear-Off is NOT activated (set to OFF), set the Top of

Form using “Using Your Printer, Setting Top of Form, Forms

Tear-Off OFF (Step B).”

The first line prints at the red line of the plastic paper

shield (1) on the printhead.

Expanded Printhead Gap

Your printer can be used for dedicated bottom-feed printing

on extra-thick multi-part forms. Extra-thick multi-part forms

range from 0.017-inch (0.43 mm) to a maximum of 0.03 inch

(0.79 mm). To print on extra-thick multi-part forms, you

engage the expanded printhead gap feature. This expands the

head gap settings for extra-thick forms and heavy card stock.

It also increases the impact strength of the pins in the

printhead.

To engage the expanded printhead gap:

Turn the printer off.

Remove the access cover and the pull-up roller assembly.

Problem 1:

My word processor files do not print the way I have the

menu and front panel set.

Solution:

Always remember that:

Before sending a file to the printer, many word processors

send either an “initialization string” or an I-Prime signal to

the printer.

1 Settings in your software application will override any

settings in your printer driver.

2 Your printer driver settings will override any settings from

The initialization string contains codes that override the

panel and menu settings. To change your printer to ignore the

reset code, enter the Menu Mode, go to the Set-Up group and

change the setting for Reset Inhibit to Yes. Refer to “Using

Your Printer, Menu Mode.”

the printer menu or printer front panel.

The I-Prime signal will automatically override any front

panel settings you have made. To eliminate this problem,

enter the Menu Mode, go to the Parallel Interface group and

change the setting for I Prime to Invalid. Refer to “Using

Your Printer, Menu Mode.”

Problem 2:

Problem 4:

Nothing happens when I turn on the printer.

I'm getting strange symbols, incorrect fonts, etc., when I

try to print a document.

Solution:

Solutions:

Check the power cord connection to the outlet. If you are

using a power strip, make sure it is turned on, and that a fuse

hasn’t blown or that a circuit breaker hasn’t tripped.

1 Check to be sure that the printer driver you have selected

in your software matches the printer emulation.

Press SHIFT and SEL keys, then press GROUPkey.

Problem 3:

This will print a line showing the emulation you have

selected.

The printer does not print when the computer sends

data.

2 If you have embedded any printer commands in your

software, check to be sure that you entered them correctly.

Solutions:

1 Is the SEL light on? If not, press the SEL key.

2 Check that all interface cables are securely connected to

the printer and the computer.

Problem 5:

Problem 7:

Ink smears on the paper when I print on narrow forms.

The ALARM light is flashing.

Solution:

This may be caused by excessive printhead travel from the

centering position. Enter the Menu and set the Centering

Position to MODE 1. Refer to “Using Your Printer, Menu

Mode.”

Try turning the printer off and then back on again. If the light

still blinks, call for service.

Problem 8:

The ALARM light is on and the Character Pitch 10 light

is flashing.

For the wide-carriage printer, if MODE 1 doesn't work, try

setting the Centering Position to MODE 2.

Problem 6:

Solution:

I've installed a new ribbon and the printing is smeared

and streaked.

This indicates that the paper lever is set at the wrong position

for the paper you are trying to use. Move it to the proper

setting.

Solution:

The ribbon shield is either loose or missing. Remove the

ribbon cartridge and check the ribbon shield.

If it is loose, secure it.

If it is missing, find it and install it.

Problem 9:

Problem 11:

The ALARM light is on and the Character Pitch 15 light

is flashing.

The Print Quality and Character Pitch keys on the front

panel don't work.

Solution:

This indicates a paper jam. Press the SEL key and correct the

paper jam situation. Refer to “Maintenance, Paper Jams.”

The Operator Panel Function in the printer menu can be used

to disable these buttons (Limited Function). If the printer is

part of a customized system or if it is used by a number of

people, the system manager may have used this option to

make sure the printer is always set properly.

Problem 10:

The printer needs paper, but the ALARM light is not on

and I cannot load the paper.

Check with your system manager before changing any menu

settings.

Solution:

Refer to “Using Your Printer, Menu Mode.”

Press and release the SEL key.

Then, press and hold the SHIFT key and press the RESET

(CHARACTER PITCH) key.

The printer is reset.

Problem 12:

Problem 13:

Continuous-form paper sticks to the paper separator.

Nothing happens when I print to the parallel port.

Solution:

In cold dry weather, static charges can build up and make the

paper cling to the paper separator. Try moving the paper

guides together so that the paper rests on the guides rather

than on the separator.

Remove the Network Card from the printer.

If you want to use the parallel port, you MUST remove

the Network Card from the printer. See the OkiLAN
