•

Coax/Twinax connection

A hardware option is available for proper connection of the printer for

Coax/Twinax operation.

•

Optional fonts

Optional printer fonts can be purchased and loaded into the printer using a

diskette.

Fonts and Forms

The printer provides a variety of resident fonts. The available fonts are dependent

the emulation used. For example, the Printronix LinePrinter Plus emulation

provides Letter Gothic, Courier, OCR–A, and OCR–B as standard fonts sets.

Additional fonts can be loaded from the host computer or from optional font

diskettes into printer memory. Once loaded, these additional fonts are accessed in

the same way as the resident fonts. Printer languages that support downloaded

fonts will not retain these fonts in memory when the printer is powered off.

Forms may be stored together with fonts. The storage space for forms and fonts

depends on memory availability and diskette space. Different fonts and forms

may be used depending on the emulation installed.

General Laser Printer Technology

The operation of a laser printer is somewhat different than that of an impact

printer. They produce an entire page at once, compared to line printers, which

produce complete character lines.

NOTE: If the software application fails to give a form feed at the end of the

data, and the data does not exceed the selected lines per page

setting, the page will not print. Rather, it will remain in memory.

The laser printer has two basic functional parts: the engine and the controller.

The engine is responsible for the mechanical aspects of producing the page. The

controller controls the printer and is responsible for electronic data

manipulations.

NOTE: Laser printers can not print to the physical edge of the paper. If the

document image runs to the edge of the paper, portions of the image

may be lost.

The electrophotographic printing process, shown in Figure 1–2, consists of the

following steps:

1. Charging: The charge corona is a thin wire electrode that extends

across the width of the media. This electrode places a high–voltage

electrostatic charge on the organic photoconductor (OPC) drum.

2. Imaging: Based on data received from the host computer, a bit–mapped

image of the page is generated in random access memory (RAM) on the

controller (not shown).

3. Exposing: The laser scanning unit (LSU) exposes areas of the OPC

which are to be imaged (i.e., black). This forms a latent image of the

bit–mapped data. This image is made up of charged and uncharged

areas.

4. Developing: The latent image areas of the OPC attract toner from the

developer unit to form the developed image on the OPC drum. Since the

charged areas of the drum have the same charge as the toner, they repel

the toner.

5. Transferring: Another thin wire electrode, the transfer corona, puts a

high electrostatic charge on the paper. This charge attracts the toner,

transferring the toner from the OPC drum to the paper.

6. Fusing: Heat and pressure rollers fuse the transferred image to the

paper.

7. Cleaning: As the OPC drum continues to turn, erase lamps remove all

residual electrostatic charge from the OPC. The cleaning unit then

removes unused toner from the OPC.

The printer must be connected to an acceptable AC power source; otherwise, the

printer will not operate properly and may be damaged. The rear side panel label

identifies the correct power source for the printer: either 100 to 120 VAC, 60 Hz

or 220 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz.

The power source must be properly grounded. Since large power fluctuations can

cause the printer to malfunction, it should be connected to a “noise–free” power

source, not subject to surges or noise generated by motors, lighting, or air

conditioning equipment on the same circuit. To allow for an adequate power

cable run, the printer should be placed no more than eight feet (2.5 meters) from

the power outlet.

Select a Site

When selecting the location for the printer, consider the following power

requirements, interface requirements, and environmental factors:

•

A proper power source must be available. (Complete power requirements

are specified in the “Check Power Requirements” section on page 2–3.)

The location must be within the maximum cable length specifications for

the host computer interface.

The temperature range should be +50°F to +90°F, with no sudden

changes in temperature or humidity. The printer should be positioned

away from any air drafts from heating or air conditioning ducts.

•

Insure that the room provides adequate ventilation. The minimum room

volume is 1000 cubic feet and must provide, at a minimum, one fresh air

exchange every two hours.

The location should provide enough space for maintenance and

replacement of consumables (toner, developer, paper, etc.). Refer to

Figure 2–1.

The printer should not be exposed to direct sunlight or hot lighting

equipment. This may cause an abnormal temperature rise in the printer

and adversely affect its operation. If necessary, shade or screen the

printer from such exposure.

•

Avoid exposing the printer to any corrosive gases or vapors.

Avoid installing the printer in an area subject to heavy vibrations.

For additional environmental requirements, refer to the Introduction chapter and

to Appendix A.

Add the Starter Toner

IMPORTANT

For the initial installation, use the starter toner bottle from the

developer kit. Do not use the toner bottles in the toner kit, which consists

of two toner bottles, two fuser cleaner felts, and two waste toner

containers.

After adding the starter toner, do not add toner from the toner kit until

the printer displays a toner low message. Starter toner will provide

approximately 200 pages of print at 5%.

Toner is light and easily becomes air–borne and can contaminate the printer. Be

careful not to stain your hands, clothes, or the interior of the printer with toner.

NOTE: If toner is spilled, use a toner vacuum to clean up the loose toner.

Do not use water to clean the toner from the printer. Any toner

remaining on clothes can be removed with a cloth dampened in cold

water. Never use hot water to remove toner from clothes or skin.

Use care when handling toner.

When the toner is low, the printer will stop and the LCD will show “03 ADD

TONER AND CHK WASTE BOTTLE.”

NOTE: Do not turn off the printer during a print job to add toner; otherwise,

all unprinted data will be lost. Once the toner is added, press ON

LINE to continue printing.

Refer to Figure 2–6 and perform these steps:

Overview

The configuration process is matching the printer operating characteristics to

those of the host computer.

This chapter explains how to use the control panel to change individual settings

and save them as a customized configuration.

Figure 3–1 shows an overview of the configuration menu. The next pages

describe how to move within the menu, change configuration settings, and save

and print configurations. This is the menu structure for the LinePrinter Plus

emulation. (Menu options are explained beginning on page 3–16.)

Image Width

This option specifies the width of the image to be printed. The allowable range is

0.5 to 8.2 inches. The factory default value is 8.2 inches.

NOTE: If the paper width is less than 8.2 inches, you must set this

parameter for proper positioning of the image on the paper.

Paper Length

This option specifies the vertical perf–to–perf distance of the continuous–form

paper (i.e., the physical form length). The paper length may be specified in three

different units:

Inches:

6 LPI:

8 LPI:

3.0 to 33.0 inches, in 1/2–inch increments (default: 11”)

6 to 198 lines, in 1–line increments (default: 66 lines)

8 to 264 lines, in 1–line increments (default: 88 lines)

The printer can move paper in 1/6 or 1/8 inch increments. Therefore, the printer

will always move paper the exact distance specified from this option.

Horizontal Image Shift

This option specifies the amount to shift an image to the right for precise

positioning on the page. The actual width of the image is not affected by this

parameter. The allowable range is 0.0 to 1.0 inch, in 1/20–inch increments. The

factory default is 3/20 inch.

Vertical Image Shift

This option specifies the amount to shift an image down for precise positioning

on the page. The actual length of the image is not affected by this parameter. The

allowable range is 0.0 to 1.0 inch, in 1/100–inch increments. The factory default

is 0/100 inch.

Reprint on Fault

The printer stops processing of a print image when the printer experiences a fault

condition. Enable the reprint on fault option so the printer will process the entire

image page that was being printed when the fault occurred. This option verifies

that a printer fault will not interfere with the printing of an entire document.

Fuser Temperature

The fuser temperature option allows you to reduce the normal temperature of the

fuser by up to –20 C in 5 degree increments. This reduction can be required due

to the print media. For example, thinner material may curl or waffle at high

temperatures and adhesive material on label material may melt. It is necessary to

lower fuser temperature in such cases.

The selections on the control panel are:

Normal (this is the default selection)

–5 degrees C

–10 degrees C

–15 degrees C

–20 degrees C

Energy Timeout

The energy timeout option provides the ability to select the length of time before

the printer goes into the energy saving mode. From the energy saving mode, the

printer will require warm up time to bring the fuser to the configured

temperature. Energy is saved by turning off heater power to the fuser.

The timeout selections are:

upon printer power–up. The factory default for power–up is configuration 0.

Protect Configurations

This option allows you to specify whether or not a new configuration should

“overwrite” an existing configuration when you activate the “Save Config”

option.

When disabled (default), the new configuration will overwrite the existing

configuration. When enabled, the new configuration will not overwrite the

existing configuration, and the following will be displayed:

CFG FILE EXISTS

DELETE FIRST

Therefore, with the option enabled, you must delete an existing configuration

before trying to save a new configuration.

In most cases, Mode refers to the emulation that you will use. The Printronix

LinePrinter Plus emulation is the standard emulation mode. IGP/PGL, IGP/VGL,

CTHI, IPDS, or PCL5 Language Compatible emulations are available as options.

The contents of the Mode menu structure will be created by the printer at

run–time when the printer software reads the diskette to determine what

interpreter(s) is available.

When powered–up, the printer will automatically load the default configuration

values. The default set of parameters is the factory setting until a new setting is

saved to default. Refer to the “Factory Settings” section on page 3–14 to restore

the factory settings after you have created a new default setting.

NOTE: Each emulation may have its own set of configuration options in

addition to those that are in the printer system list. Refer to the

appropriate Programmer’s Reference Manual or Operator’s Guide

for these unique configuration settings.

Impact Printer Emulation

The printer comes equipped with the Printronix LinePrinter Plus Emulation

software. Refer to the Impact Printer Emulation User’s Manual for details,

Hex Dump Mode

This option allows you to place the printer into the “hex dump” mode, in which

the printer will output a hexadecimal data stream.

When enabled, the hex dump mode translates all host interface data to its

hexadecimal equivalent, then prints the hex code and its printable symbol, if one

exists. Figure 3–8 shows a partial example of a hex dump.

All characters printed after entering the hex dump mode (including any in the

input buffer) are printed in two forms: as a two–symbol hexadecimal code and as

its printable symbol, if any. A non–printable code is printed as a period [.]

symbol. Up to 16 characters can be printed per line. No control codes will be

acted upon by the printer while in hex dump mode.

The 16 characters are formatted so that the 16 printable symbols are printed in

columns 1 through 16. The 17th column is blank. Column 18 contains either a p

(PI line active) or a blank (PI not active). Columns 19 and 20 contain the

hexadecimal code for the first character, followed by a blank. The PI line

condition and hexadecimal code for the second character is printed in columns

22, 23, and 24, followed by a blank. The hexadecimal code for the 16th character

is printed in columns 78, 79, and 80.

Subsequent printing observes the current setting for skip–over perforation, form

length, and top–of–form position parameters.

Cancel the hex dump mode (while off–line), by disabling it from the control

panel. The paper then may be advanced to the next top–of–form.

If a fault occurs while printing a hex dump, the printer reverts to the normal fault

state. When the fault is cleared, the printer resumes printing the hex dump (either

a partial line with a form feed, or nothing at all). Top–of–form remains

unaffected.

NOTE: Hex dump mode may not be selected when the Twinax or Coax interface

is selected. Refer to the Coax/Twinax or IPDS manual to see how to get a Coax

or Twinax buffer dump.

Host Protocol

Values: None; XON/XOFF; Series 1, 1 CH; Series 1, 2 CH.

It must be set to match your host computer.

XON means transmit on and XOFF means transmit off. In XON/XOFF protocol,

the printer sends ASCII code DC1 (Device Code 1, hex 11, XON) to the host

when it is ready to receive more data (i.e., the printer is online and the data buffer

is empty). The printer sends ASCII code DC3 (Device Code 3, hex 13, XOFF)

when it is not ready to receive data (i.e., the buffer is full or the printer is offline).

Series 1 protocol is a special protocol that sends a printer status code to the host

computer whenever the status changes. The status code is either one or two

characters with four status states defined.

The host computer can send a special “poll character” to the printer at anytime to

request the current status.

An approximate delay can be selected to determine when the status is sent back

to the host computer.

Baud Rate

Values: 110 – 115,200.

9600 is the default.

It must be set to match your host computer.

Baud rate is the number of bits, including control bits (start/stop and parity bits)

transferred per second over the interface.

Data Bits

Values: 5 – 8.

It must be set to match your host computer.

Serial interfaces support 5, 6, 7, and 8–bit transfer of data words. Most use 8–bit

data transfer, but this must match the host computer.

The host may send a parity bit with every data word. The parity bit is used for

error checking.

DTR Function

Values: On/Offline&Buf, True, False or On/Offline.

It must be set to match your host computer.

Data Terminal Ready (DTR) is a status signal that is sent by the printer to the

host to indicate whether the printer is ready to receive data. DTR can be set

permanently true or false–true only if ready to receive (online and buffer is not

full) or true only if not ready to receive (offline or buffer full).

RTS Function

Values: On/Offline&Buf, True, False or On/Offline.

It must be set to match your host computer.

The printer sends a Ready to Send (RTS) status signal to the host to request data

transfer.

DTR Polarity

Values: Normal or Inverted.

Maximum Character Memory

This option is used to specify the size of the largest character that can be printed.

To calculate the memory requirement, use this equation:

character

height (inches)

horizontal

resolution

vertical

resolution

character

width (inches)

For example, if an application requires a character that is 7 inches high by 4

inches wide, calculate the Maximum Character Memory value as follows:

300

315,000

Therefore, select a value that is equal to or greater than 315,000. The closest

available value is 350 KBytes.

The allowable range is 50 KBytes to 900 KBytes, in 50–KByte increments. The

default value for this parameter is 300 KBytes.

Maximum Cache Memory

This option is used to specify the maximum block of memory that can be

allocated to the font cache. The font cache stores bitmaps that are created on

demand from the font outlines stored on the printer diskette. The cache allows

the printer to print scalable fonts at optimum speed.

To calculate the memory requirement, use this equation:

average character

height (inches)

# of characters

to be cached

horizontal

resolution

vertical

resolution

average character

width (inches)

The allowable range is 50 KBytes to 900 KBytes, in 50–KByte increments. The

11,250

Therefore, select a value that is equal to or greater than 11,250. The closest

available value is 12 KBytes.

The allowable range is 1 KBytes to 20 KBytes, in 1–KByte increments. The

default value for this parameter is 1 KBytes.

Maximum Fonts Loaded

This option is used to specify the number of scalable font outlines that can be

concurrently loaded into RAM in the printer.

Printer Diagnostics

The printer includes self–diagnostic circuits and software to aid in the discovery,

prevention, and correction of system problems and failures. Printer diagnostics

fall into these categories:

•

Off–line Diagnostics

On–line Diagnostics

Off–Line Diagnostics

Most of the software diagnostics are executed under the following circumstances:

•

The printer performs diagnostic routines when you request a

configuration/test print via the control panel. The printout lists the

current configuration of the printer. The test print also contains graphical

content that demonstrates the quality of the image over the entire image

area of the page.

The printer performs a power–on self test each time the printer is

powered on. During this test the printer will not produce a

configuration/test print.

The power–on self test consists of the following:

•

The printer controller self test:

ROM Checksum

Memory Test/Auto Configuration

CPU Interrupts and I/O

NOTE: Test failures for the printer controller are reported by a series of

long and short beeps. Should your printer fail to power up, listen for

the beep and report the pattern to your service provider; e.g. 3 long,

2 short, and 1 long beep.

•

Control Panel Switches – Tests for switches that might be shorted.

Print Engine FIFO – Checks for read/write errors.

Engine Sensor Check – Scans engine status sensors including paper out,

fuser temperature, toner level, cover/door interlocks, paper jam switches,

waste toner container, and fuser cam motor.

•

System Life Counts – Checks page count to verify that the OPC drum

and the engine life counts have not been exceeded. The printer system

counter, part of the OPC assembly, is reset when you replace the OPC.

On–Line Diagnostics

When on line, the printer continues to sense and report problems or conditions as

they arise. Two categories of on–line error conditions exist: critical and

non–critical.

The following critical errors stop the operation of the printer:

•

Engine Sensor Checks – Scans engine status sensors including paper out,

fuser temperature, toner level, cover interlocks, paper jam switches, and

fuser cam motor

•

Video Interface Error – Consists of interface protocol failures

Optical System Errors – Includes beam detect, laser power, and mirror

motor

•

Toner Out

Missing Components – Includes OPC drum unit and waste toner

container

Non–critical errors allow the printer to continue to operate, but the LCD displays

the conditions that exist. The following are non–critical errors:

•

OPC Drum life exceeded

EEPROM life exceeded

Engine life exceeded

Running the Printer Test

This test checks both printer operation and the quality of printed output. If an

unexpected error code is displayed, refer to “Error Messages” on page 4–5.

Following the procedure for the diagnostics menu test print, starting on page

3–22, will produce a test print of the desired pattern. The test pattern and number

of pages can be selected from this menu.

Hex Dumps

The hex dump option, outlined in the Operator’s Guide, allows you to place the

printer in a mode in which the printer will output a hexadecimal data stream.

When enabled, the hex dump mode translates all host interface data to its

hexadecimal equivalent, then prints the hex code and its printable symbol, if one

exists. Figure 3–8 shows a partial example of a hex dump.

All characters printed after entering the hex dump mode (including any in the

input buffer) are printed in two forms: as a two–symbol hexadecimal code and as

its printable symbol, if any. A non–printable code is printed as a period [.]

symbol. Up to 16 characters can be printed per line. No control codes will be

acted upon by the printer while in hex dump mode.

The 16 characters are formatted so that the 16 printable symbols are printed in

columns 1 through 16. The 17th column is blank. Column 18 contains either a p

(PI line active) or a blank (PI not active). Columns 19 and 20 contain the

hexadecimal code for the first character, followed by a blank. The PI line

condition and hexadecimal code for the second character is printed in columns

22, 23, and 24, followed by a blank. The hexadecimal code for the 16th character

is printed in columns 78, 79, and 80.

Subsequent printing observes the current setting for skip–over perforation, form

length, and top–of–form position parameters.

Cancel the hex dump mode (while off–line), by disabling it from the control

panel. The paper then may be advanced to the next top–of–form.

If a fault occurs while printing a hex dump, the printer reverts to the normal fault

state. When the fault is cleared, the printer resumes printing the hex dump (either

a partial line with a form feed, or nothing at all). Top–of–form remains

unaffected.

NOTE: This is not available for Coax/Twinax. Use the buffer dump as

described in the emulation manual instead.

The yield of the supplies is based on a 5% page coverage using 20 lb bond paper.

In a typical business letter, for example, text covers about 5% of the page using

20 lb bond paper. However, applications that print more densely, such as graphics

and bar codes, will use up the consumables at a faster rate.

In addition, the type of media used will determine the yield of the consumables.

Optimum print quality and consumable life is obtained by using bond media

rated between 18 and 20 pounds. Label stock and heavier media can also be used,

but the print quality and consumable life, as well as the life of the fuser, may be

reduced.

and the ON LINE switch on the control panel has been activated. The printer is

ready to accept data from the host.

DATA REQUEST – A high true signal from the printer to synchronize host data

transmission with printer timing. This signal goes true when the printer is ready

to receive data. It changes to the false state shortly after the leading edge of the

data strobe signal.

DATA STROBE – A high true pulse from the host to indicate that data is ready.

The data strobe must remain high at least until the Data Request line goes false.

DATA LINES – Eight standard or inverted levels from the host that specify

character data, plot data, or a control code. Sensing Data Line 8 is controlled by

printer configuration.

PAPER INST – Optional standard or inverted level VFU signal from the host

with the same timing and polarity as the data lines. PI line sensing is controlled

by printer configuration.

NOTE: The PAPER INST Line must be disabled (configuration option

selected from the front panel) if the host computer does not drive or

control the PI Line. If the line is not controlled by the host and

sensing is enabled, rapid paper slewing will occur.

Interface Verification – Two pins on the interface connector jumpered together

allow you to verify proper installation of the interface connector.

Termination Resistors

For parallel interface configurations, the printer is equipped with 470/1K ohm

pullup/pulldown terminating resistors located on the printer motherboard.

Generally, these terminating resistors are suitable for most applications. If,

however, the standard terminating resistor pack is not compatible with the

particular interface driver requirements of your host computer, other values or

combinations of pullup/pulldown resistors may be necessary.

If you are experiencing communication problems between the printer and host;

such as double characters, incorrect characters, or loss of data, the cause may be

the value of the termination resistors on the motherboard. Contact your

authorized service representative for instructions on replacing the termination

resistors.

RS–232 Serial Interface

This interface is used with bit serial devices compatible with EIA RS–232C or

CCITT V.24 standards. The interface circuit characteristics are compatible with

the Electronic Industry Association Specification.

The printer is configured as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE).

The serial data transfer baud rate is selectable from the control panel. The input

format consists of a single start bit, 7 or 8 data bits, and one or two stop bits. The

operator can set the number of data bits from the control panel. The data bits are

interpreted with the least significant bit first. The operator can also set parity

checking via the control panel. The printer interface uses a first–in/first–out

buffer with the size selectable from the control panel. The asynchronous interface

accepts data as it is provided by the host computer.

The maximum cable length from the host computer to the printer is 50 feet.

RS–422 Serial Interface

This interface is used with bit serial devices compatible with EIA–RS–422A or

CCITT V.27 and V.11 standards. The interface circuit characteristics are

compatible with the Electronic Industry Association Specification.

The printer is configured as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE).

The serial data transfer baud rate is selectable from the control panel. The input

format consists of a single start bit, 7 or 8 data bits, and one or two stop bits. The

operator can set the number of data bits from the control panel. The data bits are

interpreted with the least significant bit first. The operator can also set parity

checking via the control panel. The printer interface uses a first–in/first–out

buffer with the size selectable from the control panel. The asynchronous interface

accepts data as it is provided by the host computer.

The maximum cable length from the host computer to the printer is 400 feet.

RS–422 Interface Connector Pin Assignments

The printer provides a 25–pin DB–25S connector on the rear panel for

connection of a serial interface cable. Table B–5 lists the pin assignments of the

RS–422 interface connector.

Disk Space Savings

This appendix provides instructions for loading and using one, and only one,

language for control panel messages. Procedures and examples are given for

using a single language and deleting the unused languages from the disk.

Deleting unused languages from the distribution disk will increase space for

forms/font storage.

NOTE: Before conducting any of these procedures it is necessary to make a

backup copy of the distribution disk. Use only the backup copy

when performing these procedures.

English as the single language

English is the default language. If the single language to be used is English, it is a

simple matter of deleting the language files that will not be used.

Place the backup copy of the distribution disk in the PC disk drive and delete the

following language files:

spvr00.dut

spvr00.fre

spvr00.ger

spvr00.ita

spvr00.spa

Place the changed disk in the printer drive and apply power to the printer.

Other languages as the single language

For this example, the German language will be used as the single language. The

procedure will be the same for the desired language.

Since German is not the default language on the distribution disk, a save

configuration and a power–up configuration must be issued to make the German

language the default language at power–up.

Disk Space Savings

The following procedure will make the required configuration changes to make

the remaining language the startup language. Refer to the Configuring the Printer

chapter.

1. Change the language to German.

2. Refer to page 3–7 and save this configuration.

3. Refer to page 3–23 and select the current configuration as the power–up

configuration.

4. Place the backup copy of the distribution disk in the PC disk drive and

delete the following language files:

spvr00.dut

spvr00.fre

spvr00.ita

spvr00.spa

spvr00.usa

Place the changed disk in the printer drive and apply power to the printer.

Glossary

ACIA

baud

Acronym for Asynchronous Communication Interface Adapter.

A unit of speed that measures the rate at which information is

transferred. Technically, baud rate is the reciprocal of the length

in seconds of the shortest pulse used to carry data. For example, a

system in which the shortest pulse is 1/1200 second operates at

1200 baud. On RS–232 serial lines, the baud rate equals the data

flow rate in bits per second (bps). To communicate properly, a

printer must be configured to operate at the same baud rate as its

host computer.

bit

Contraction of binary digit. A digit in the binary (base 2) number

system: 0 or 1. A bit is the smallest unit of storage in a digital

computer, where 0 and 1 are represented by different voltages.

Groups of bits forms other units of storage called nibbles, bytes,

and words.

Boot–up

buffer
