Printer Presentation  
This dot-matrix printer is a multi-purpose printer for counter applications. Its compact structure  
is designed to be integrated in an ergonomic environment. The printer provides a high level of  
reliability, form-handling accuracy and data integrity. Its main features are:  
· Printing on d iffer en t typ es p a p er : cut sheets, multipart and fanfold paper  
· High print pressure for m u lt ip a r t d ocu m en t s: 1 original plus 8 copies in accurate printing  
· H igh p r in t q u a lit y supplied by a 24 wire print head  
· H igh r elia b ilit y p a p er h a n d lin g  
The straight paper path allows the printing on particular documents such as multipart forms.  
· Au t om a t ic p a p er t h ick n ess a d ju st m en t  
The print head detects automatically the paper thickness for correct printing on any type of  
document.  
· E a sy p a p er h a n d lin g  
The cut sheets are placed on the front table by the operator and the printer loads it without any  
other user intervention. The paper ejection towards the front or the rear of the printer allows an  
easy access to the printed document.  
For the fanfold paper the printer offers the zero tear -off feature, which allows a paper handling  
without waste of paper, and the paper parking feature.  
· Au t om a t ic sw it ch in g b et w een cu t sh eet s a n d fa n fold p a p er  
If the paper path is empty (i.e. the fanfold paper is in the first line position), when inserting a  
cut sheet into the printer, it is automatically loaded after the printer automatically parked the  
fanfold paper. The fanfold paper can then be loaded again simply pressing the LOAD/PARK key.

· Au t om a t ic d ocu m en t a lign m en t feature  
The printer checks automatically the alignment of the top margin and the left margin of the  
document and adjusts it, if necessary. The printout is therefore performed correctly  
independently from the paper loading position.

Printer Installation  
Choosing a Suitable Location  
Consider the following points when you choose the location for your printer:  
· The distance between the printer and the host computer must not exceed the length of the  
interface cable;  
· The location must be sturdy, horizontal and stable;  
· Your printer must not be exposed to direct sunlight, extreme heat, cold, dust or humidity;  
· You need an AC power outlet compatible with the plug of the printers power cord. The voltage  
of the outlet must match the voltage shown on the printers Name Plate;  
· When printing on standard paper formats, the paper is partially ejected on the rear side of the  
printer. Make sure that behind the printer there is sufficient clearance to correctly move the  
paper;  
· Make sure that behind the printer there is sufficient clearance to easily load the fanfold paper;  
· Make sure that the power and interface cables do not hamper the fanfold paper while it is  
loaded into the printer.

Paper Handling  
This printer is designed for versatile an reliable paper handling. The flat-bed mechanism allows  
the handling of special documents, such as multiple invoices, postcards, labels and tickets.  
The print head detects the paper edges automatically, the sheet can therefore be inserted in any  
position within the detection area according to the rules described in the following paragraph.  
The paper alignment sensors determine the alignment of the upper and left paper margins,  
adjusting them if necessary.  
The print head determines the thickness of the documents and matches its position.

Software Driver Selection  
At this point it is necessary to configure your printer for your application package. The  
installation procedures depend upon the host environment.  
Included with the printer you received a CD-ROM containing the printer drivers for the Windows  
environment. This printer supports the Plug&Play facility in the Windows95/98 ® environment.  
If you want to install the printer in the Windows environment, insert the CD-ROM and follow the  
instructions.

Connection to the Host  
This printer can be connected to the host by means of a parallel standard Centronics or  
bidirectional IEEE 1284 type interface or by means of the serial RS232C interface.  
Proceed as follows:  
1. Make sure that both the host and the printer are turned off.  
With the help of the following figure identify the connector for the interface you want to connect  
and insert the cable firmly into it.  
2.  
Fix the parallel interface cable by means of the corresponding hooks or the serial cable  
tightening the screws on either side of the connector.  
3.

Setting the Interface Parameters  
Parallel Interface  
The parameters set for the parallel interface match most of the most common environments and  
the printer can be used immediately after the connection to the host.  
In case you need to modify the standard parameters see “ Printer Setup ” later in this section.  
Serial Interface  
Because of the great variety of the possible connection configurations, when you use the serial  
interface you will need to set the parameters accordingly.  
To assure the correct functioning of the printer connected through the serial interface, the  
transmission parameters set for the printer must match the values set for the host. Check the  
interface settings on the host and proceed as follows:  
LQ  
1. Press the  
key while powering the printer on and keep it pressed until all leds turn briefly on.  
The printer enters the Setup mode.  
2. Insert a blank sheet of paper (A4 or Letter format). The printer loads the sheet and stops. The  
P1, P2, P3 and P4 leds are lit.

Do not fill in the marker beside the title of the preprinted form, otherwise the printer will not be  
able to read that page.  
6. Once the serial interface parameters have been assigned, insert the sheet back into the printer.  
7. The printer reads the selected values on the configuration sheet and sets them. The settings  
are confirmed by a # symbol printed on the left of the corresponding marker.  
The printer then returns to normal functioning mode.

Printer Setup  
The default configuration of this printer matches most of the commonly used environments, but it  
may be necessary to change some printer parameters. For this purpose it is necessary to use the  
preprinted forms to be used with the printer in configuration mode.  
The following is the complete description of the Setup Procedure.  
The detailed description of the parameters that can be set on the various preprinted forms are  
described in the “Setup Parametersparagraph, later in this manual.  
To enter the Printer Setup Mode press and hold the LQ key for at least 1 second while powering  
the printer on. The printer enters the Setup Mode.  
Printing the Printer Setup Forms  
If you already have the preprinted forms for the printer setup, go to Filling in the Printer Setup  
Formslater in this manual.  
Insert a blank sheet of paper (A4 or Letter format). The printer loads the sheet and stops. The P1,  
P2, P3 and P4 leds are lit.  
The ON LINE, PROGRAM and LQ keys are enabled.

the values marked for the various parameters and configures the printer accordingly.  
The settings are confirmed by a # symbol printed to the left of the corresponding marker.

Paper Specifications  
The documents must all conform to the following characteristics:  
· Use paper matching the indicated characteristics.  
· They must have well defined top and left edges, with a square angle tolerance of 0.1° on all  
edges.  
· The paper must not have holes, perforations, folds or tears anywhere within the print area of the  
document.  
· The radius on a corner of the form must be within 9.5 mm from the left or right edge.  
· The form to be printed must not contain foreign material.  
· Form opacity must be at least 75%. Forms with a lower opacity may cause feed errors.  
· Never print on documents with metallic or hard plastic fasteners or staples, they may damage  
the printer.  
· To get the maximum print contrast you should print on white or light colored paper. You may  
overstrike to improve the low contrasting paper.  
· It is preferable to use single and multiple documents with the fibre running in the insertion
