IMPORTANT
General Safety Precautions
An important notice provides information that is vital to proper
operation of the printer.
NOTE: A note provides information and helpful tips about printer
operation.
Control Panel Keys And Display Messages
Keys and indicators that are labeled on the printer are printed in
uppercase letters. For example:
Press ENTER to select the value shown on the LCD.
Messages that appear on the control panel message display (called
the Liquid Crystal Display, or LCD), are printed in uppercase letters
and enclosed in quotation marks. For example:
“ENTER SWITCH LOCKED" appears on the LCD.
General Safety Precautions
Observe the following precautions at all times to ensure safe
operation of the printer.
Read all instructions and save them for future use.
Follow all safety notices and instructions printed in this manual and
marked on the printer.
The operator-accessible power switch does not shut off all power to
the printer. You must unplug the power cord to shut off all power to
the printer.
The power outlet must be near the equipment and easily
accessible.
The printer relies on protective devices in the building installation
for protection. The printer must be connected to a 30 Amp, 250 V
outlet.

Remove packaging materials carefully and save them. If the printer
is powered on without removing all internal tape and packing, the
printer may be damaged.
Keep combustible materials away from the printer. Dispose of used
toner properly, as it is flammable.
Some components in the printer are potentially hazardous. For
example, the fuser unit becomes very hot under normal operating
conditions, and several components use high voltage.
Handle the photoreceptor drum properly, due to the nature of the
material. Do not put used drums in the trash; ship them to the
appropriate disposal facility for recycling. (See page 139.)
Do not block or obstruct any cabinet ventilation slots.
Never spill liquid on or in the printer. Use only approved cleaning
agents and methods.
Put nothing on the power cord. Do not locate the power cord where
people will walk on it. Do not place the power cord under any
carpet.
Do not lean on or put heavy objects on top of the printer.
Do not put your hand into the power paper stacker when the printer
is in operation.
Turn off the power immediately if the printer emits an unusual noise
or smell.
Do not look directly at the flash lamp light.

Printronix LinePrinter Plus provides portrait and landscape image
orientation. Automatic 1-up, 2-up, 4-up, and gray bar overprinting
are also provided. The emulation offers optional proportional
(scalable) fonts and multi-up form definition capability as well.

For specific information on each emulation, see the appropriate
emulation manual.
Fonts And Forms
The printer provides a variety of resident fonts. The emulation you
are using determines what resident fonts are available. For
example, the LinePrinter Plus emulation provides CG Times, Letter
Gothic, Courier, OCR-A, and OCR-B as standard sets of fonts.
With either the LinePrinter Plus or PCL 5 emulations, you can load
additional fonts into printer memory from the host computer. When
additional fonts are in printer memory, you can then access them in
the same way as the resident fonts. Note that if you download fonts
from the host computer and do not save them, the downloaded
fonts will be lost when the printer is powered off.
You can store forms together with fonts. The storage space for
forms and fonts depends upon the amount of printer memory and/
or non-volatile Flash memory space available. You can manipulate
different fonts and/or forms depending upon the emulation installed.

Initial Setup
Installation Overview
This chapter explains how to load paper, power on the printer, use
the optional power stacker, and how to use the control panel.
The installation and setup of your printer should be performed by a
service provider trained and authorized by Printronix. Your service
provider is also responsible for doing a preinstallation site survey,
unpacking the printer, connecting the power and host data cables,
and installing the first set of consumable items in the printer.
Depending on the terms of your service contract, your service
provider might also power on your printer and configure it.
As the owner of the printer, it is your responsibility to prepare the
printer site. This includes providing adequate ventilation and power
for the printer.

Loading Paper
Loading Paper
The following section explains how to load fanfold paper. To load
Loading Fanfold Paper
When loading fanfold paper, be sure the leading edge of the
paper has a clean, separated perforation (without ragged
edges or paper chaff).
NOTE: You do not need to power off the printer power to replace
paper. If you leave the printer on and replace the paper it
will resume printing where it left off when you put it on line.
To load fanfold paper, do the following steps. Repeat this
procedure whenever top-of-form must be reset (e.g., after clearing
a paper jam, loading new paper, etc.). For details on clearing paper
jams, refer to Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting.”
1. If your printer has the optional power paper stacker installed,
set the stacker page length adjustment on the side of the power
stacker to match the paper length to be used.
2. Place the fanfold paper box under the tractor unit with the first
paper fold toward the printer.

5. Open the left and right tractor gates and place the paper about
half-way onto the tractor pins.
IMPORTANT
Do not push the paper past the tractors into the area of the
paper jam sensor.
6. Close the left tractor gate.
7. Move the right tractor to the left or right until its pins line up with
the holes in the right edge of the paper, put the paper in the
pins, then close the right tractor gate.
NOTE: After you place the paper on the tractors, introduce a slight
amount of side-to-side tension into the paper. Set the right
tractor far enough to the right so that there are no wrinkles,
looseness, etc. in the paper. Be careful not to set the right
tractor too far to the right, however, as too much tension
may cause the paper holes to tear away from the tractor
pins.

There are three holes in the forward end of the cut sheet paper feed
cassettes. Plastic inserts are set in these holes according to the
size of the cut sheet paper loaded in the cassette (as shown in the

can use Tray Linking. Tray Linking is disabled by default. With Tray
Linking enabled, when the active cut sheet paper tray runs out of
paper, the printer will automatically switch to the other paper tray
and continue printing.
To enable or disable this feature, see the Tray Linking option on the
Paper Control menu, page 69.
NOTE: Disable Tray Linking if the two cut sheet paper trays are of
different sizes
If the cut sheet trays are of different sizes, and Tray Linking
is enabled, the printer will not switch to the alternate tray
when the first tray runs out of paper, nor will it display the
usual “CUT-SHEET PAPER EMPTY” message on the
LCD. Instead, the printer stops printing and displays the
message “TRAY MISMATCH.”

Printer Configuration
Printer Configuration
In order to print data, the printer must respond correctly to interface
signals and commands received from the host computer.
Configuration is the process of matching the printer’s operating
characteristics to those of the host computer. The characteristics
that define the printer’s response to signals and commands
received from the host computer are called configuration
parameters and are found in the configuration menus.
Configuration menu diagrams are shown later in this chapter.
Configuration parameters are retrieved from flash memory, or set
from the control panel. This chapter explains how to set and save
parameters with the control panel.

Configuration directly affects printer operation. Do not change
the configuration of your printer until you are thoroughly
familiar with the procedures in this chapter.

Printer Configuration
Image Width
Image Width specifies the width of the image to be printed. The
allowable range is 2.0 to 14.7 inches, in 0.1 inch increments. The
factory default is 14.6 inches.
Form Length
Form Length is the logical form length for fanfold paper. You can
specify the form length in either of two ways: in inches, or in the
number of print lines (at six lines per inch).
•
Inch Select/Length in Inches (the default). This selection allows
you to set the form length in inches. The range is from 1.0 to
30.0 inches, in one-half inch increments. The default is 11.0
inches.
•
6 LPI Select/Length at 6LPI. This selection allows you to set the
form length in lines. The range is from 6 to 144 in one line
increments. The default is 66 lines.
Paper Length
Paper Length is the physical form length for fanfold paper (the
vertical perforation to perforation distance). You can specify the
paper length in three ways: Auto Select, inches, or the number of
print lines (at six lines per inch).
•
Auto Select (the default). Using this, the printer uses the
current setting of the “Form Length” parameter to find the best
physical paper length within the valid range, and then use that
value. If the form length parameter setting is within the valid
range for the paper length parameter, the printer uses the value
for both the form length and paper length parameters. If the
form length parameter is outside the valid range for the paper
length parameter, the printer finds the closest multiple or
divisor.

Paper Control Menu
For example, a form length parameter setting of 10 inches
results in a paper length setting of 10 inches, as 10 inches is
within the valid range for form length and paper length
parameters. A form length setting of 24 inches results in a
paper length setting of 12 inches, as 24 is above the valid
range. A form length setting of five inches results in a paper
length setting of 10 inches, as five is below the valid range.
•
•
Inch Select/Length in Inches. This allows you to set the paper
length in inches. The range is 7.0 to 20.0 inches, in one-half
inch increments. The default is 11.0 inches.
6 LPI Select/Length at 6LPI. This menu selection allows you to
set the paper length in lines. The range is from 42 to 120 lines,
in 1 line increments. The default is 66 lines.
Paper Selection
Paper selection specifies the type of paper and, for the cut sheet
option, the cassette to be used. You may select fanfold (factory
default) paper, or the upper or lower cassette, which holds various
sizes of cut sheet paper.
Cut Sheet Output
Cut Sheet Output specifies which output tray is used. You may
select the face down (default) or face up orientation. The face down
tray is located on the top of the printer, the face up tray is located
above the optional power stacker.
NOTE: If you select the face up tray, the first page printed is on the
bottom of the stack, and the last page printed is on the top
of the stack.
The Cut Sheet Output menu option is used only if the printer has
the cut sheet paper feed option installed.
Fanfold Output
The Fanfold Output option specifies the paper path through the
stacker. You can select either into the stacker (default) or to bypass
the stacker.

Printer Configuration
Horizontal Image Shift
Horizontal Image Shift 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. The allowable range is -1.0 to 1.0 inches, in
1/100 inch increments. The default is 0.0 inches.
Vertical Image Shift
Vertical Image Shift specifies the amount to shift an image down for
precise positioning on the page. The actual height of the image is
not affected. The allowable range is -1.0 to 1.0 inches, in 1/100 inch
increments. The default is 0.0 inches.
Toner
The Toner option sets the frequency interval for dispensing toner.
The higher the number selected, the less frequently toner is
dispensed. The allowable range is from 1 to 254. The default is 3.
Reprint on Fault
Reprint on Fault enables (default) or disables automatic reprinting
after a fault condition occurs. If Confirm is selected, the printer
returns a message asking if you want to reprint.
Paper Type
Paper Type allows you to set the printer for either standard or
synthetic paper. The default is Standard; use this setting for most
types of media. Use the Synthetic setting for special types of media
such as plastic cards.
Burst on Eject
Burst on Eject allows you to use roll-feed paper that cannot be cut
(separated) or parked (backed out of the print engine).
•
With fanfold paper, whenever you change the page size or
press the PAGE EJECT key, the printer automatically
separates the currently loaded paper at the perforation, and
backs the unprinted paper out of the engine.
72
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Paper Control Menu
•
With roll-feed paper, the printer cannot separate the paper
because there are no perforations. Burst on Eject must be set
to Disable. The perforations separator is not used, and paper is
never rolled back out of the engine. If you need to remove the
paper before the entire roll is used, it must be manually
removed.
When Burst on Eject is disabled, note the following effects:
•
PAGE EJECT: When you press PAGE EJECT or send a
~PAGE EJECT command, the paper is not separated and is
not rolled back into the printer. Instead, enough forms are
inserted to fuse and move all pages physically out of the
printer. The exact distance depends on the current Paper
Length selection. The paper moves a minimum of 25.5 inches.
Note that the printer uses Paper Length and not Form Length
for paper motion. If the current Form Length is not a multiple of
1/6 inch, the exact distance the paper is moved is not a multiple
of the form size. When using a preprinted roll-feed form, the
physical top-of-form may be lost.
•
FORM SIZE CHANGE: A form size change operates the same
as pressing the PAGE EJECT key. Instead of separating the
form, enough form feeds are inserted to move the printed
pages out of the printer.
Note also that when you load a configuration having a different
Paper Length, the same operation occurs: the printer sends
form feeds rather than cutting the page and reverse-feeding it
out of the printer.
•
•
FAULT HANDLING: In normal operation, roll-fed paper is not
removed from the printer. However, after a fault that requires
reprinting (such as a paper jam), you must remove the paper
and reseat it in the tractors. The control panel indicates when
this is necessary.
BOOT: When powering on, the printer does not cut the paper in
the printer or roll it back out of the printer.

Printer Configuration
Tray Linking
With tray linking enabled, when the active cut sheet paper tray
(cassette) runs out of paper, the printer switches automatically to
the other cut sheet paper tray, and continues printing. The default is
disable.
NOTE: We recommend that you disable Tray Linking if the two cut
sheet paper trays are of different sizes.
If the cut sheet trays are of different sizes, and Tray Linking
is enabled, the printer will not switch to the alternate tray
when the first tray runs out of paper. The printer also will
not display the usual “CUT-SHEET PAPER EMPTY”
message on the LCD. Instead, the printer stops printing
and displays the message “TRAY MISMATCH.”
To clear this message, either add paper to the active tray,
or insert a matching tray in the alternate tray position.
Press CLEAR on the control panel.
Variable Tray Width
With Variable Tray Width, it is possible to override the standard cut
sheet paper tray widths. The standard cut sheet paper sizes are
listed in the following table. Using Custom Tray Width and modified
paper trays, it is possible to use non-standard paper stock that is a
different width than standard paper widths.
You can independently adjust the upper and lower tray widths in
the menus. To adjust the width of the top tray, select Upper Tray
Width from the Variable Tray Width menu. To adjust the width of
the bottom tray, select Lower Tray Width from the Variable Tray
Width menu. Each tray width is adjustable from 7.0 inches to 12.0
inches, in 0.1 inch increments.
NOTE: The Variable Tray Width feature requires modified paper
trays. Do not change the Variable Tray Width menu
settings unless you are using a modified paper tray.
Also, you cannot modify the width for a standard cut sheet
tray. The width depends on the cassette paper size and is
recognized by the printer using the paper size detector
sensors.

“Tray Width” here is defined as the edge of the paper parallel to the
drum. If the paper tray is set for Letter size or A4 size, the Variable
Tray Width setting in the menus must be greater than the length.
Variable Tray Length
With Variable Tray Length, it is possible to override the standard
cut sheet paper tray lengths. The standard cut sheet paper sizes
are listed in the following table. Using Custom Tray Length and
modified paper trays, it is possible to use non-standard paper stock
that is a different length than standard paper lengths.
You can independently adjust the lower tray length in the menus.
To adjust the width of the bottom tray, select Lower Tray Length
from the Variable Length Tray Length menu. The tray length is
adjustable from 8.3 inches to 19.6 inches, in 0.1 inch increments.
NOTE: The Variable Tray Length feature requires modified paper
trays. Do not change the Variable Tray Length menu
settings unless you are using a modified paper tray.
Also, you cannot modify the length for a standard cut sheet
tray. The length depends on the cassette paper size and is

Serial Parameters (RS-232 And RS-422)
Host Protocol
The Host Protocol parameter allows you to select the software flow
control protocol used for communications between the printer and
the host computer. You can also turn off software flow control.
Values: None, XON/XOFF, ETX/ACK, ACK/NAK, ENQ/ACK,
SERIES 1, 1 CH, or SERIES 1, 2 CH.
This parameter must be set to match your host computer.
The actions for each of the seven possible parameter values are as
follows:
None (default)
When you select None, the software flow control between the
printer and the host is disabled.
XON/XOFF
When you select the XON/XOFF protocol, the printer does the
following:
•
When not ready to receive data (i.e., offline or full data buffer),
the printer sends ASCII code DC3 (Device Code 3, hex 13,
XOFF) to the host.
•
When ready to receive data (i.e., online and empty data buffer),
the printer sends ASCII code DC1 (Device Code 1, hex 11,
XON) to the host.
NOTE: XON means “transmit on;” XOFF means “transmit off.”
ETX/ACK
The ETX/ACK protocol enables the flow of communication to the
printer by sending a block of data, and ending the block with an End
of Text (ETX) signal. When the printer receives the ETX signal, it
acknowledges the signal, thereby indicating it has received the
entire block of data.

Printer Configuration
ACK/NAK
The ACK/NAK protocol gives the printer a means to acknowledge it
has either accepted a transmission (ACK) or did not receive a
transmission (NAK).
ENQ/ACK
The ENQ/ACK protocol enables the flow of communication to the
printer by sending a block of data, and ending the block with an
Enquiry (ENQ) signal. When the printer receives the ENQ signal, it
acknowledges the signal, thereby indicating it has received the
entire block of data.
SERIES 1, 1 CH
When you select the Series 1 with 1 Character protocol, the printer
does the following:
•
•
•
When not ready to receive data (buffer 75% full), the printer
sends a buffer full response character to the host.
When ready to receive data (buffer drops to 50% full), the
printer sends a buffer empty response character to the host.
If the buffer ever fills completely, the printer sends a buffer full
response character to the host every time it receives a
character from the host.
•
In addition, whenever the printer state changes from online to
offline (or vice-versa), the printer sends the appropriate
response character to the host.

Serial Parameters (RS-232 And RS-422)
The printer uses different response characters to represent buffer
full and buffer empty, depending on whether it is online or offline.
These response characters are listed in the following table:
Online State
Buffer State
Response Character
Online
Buffer Empty
Buffer Full
CR
3
Offline
Buffer Empty
Buffer Full
0
2
With the SERIES 1, 1 CH protocol selected, if the printer receives a
Series 1 poll character from the host, the printer removes the poll
character from its input data stream and discards it. After a delay,
called the poll delay, the printer replies to the host by sending the
appropriate response character, per the preceding table.
During a poll delay, if the printer receives another poll character,
the printer merely discards it. However, if a transition (from buffer
full to buffer empty or from online to offline) occurs during a poll
delay, the printer sends the response character appropriate to the
new printer state at the end of the delay.
If you enable the Series 1 Idle parameter, then whenever the buffer
is less than 75% full, the printer sends a response character to the
host every two seconds.
You can select the poll character and the poll delay time from the
printer control panel. You can also enable or disable Series 1 Idle
from the control panel. Descriptions of these parameters start on
NOTE: When using the SERIES 1, 1 CH protocol, be careful with
the transmission of binary data (control codes, bit images,
etc.) since the printer discards poll characters.

Printer Configuration
SERIES 1, 2 CH
When you select the Series 1 with 2 Characters protocol, the printer
behaves exactly the same as the Series 1 with 1 Character
protocol, except that the printer sends two-character responses to
the host. These response characters are listed in the following
table:
Online State
Buffer State
Response Characters
Online
Buffer Empty

1 CR
3 CR
0 CR
2 CR

NOTE: When using the SERIES 1, 2 CH protocol, be careful with
the transmission of binary data (control codes, bit images,
etc.) since the printer discards poll characters.
Baud Rate
Values: 110 to 256,000.
9600 is the default.
This parameter 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 to 8 (default).
This parameter must be set to match your host computer.
Serial interfaces support 5, 6, 7, and 8-bit transfer of data words.

Printer Configuration
Power-up State
Power-up state allows you to configure the printer to power up in
the offline or online state. The default setting is Online.
Hex Dump Mode
Hex dump mode allows you to place the printer into the “hex dump”
mode, in which the printer outputs a hexadecimal data stream. The
purpose of hex dump mode is to see exactly what data is received
by the printer, in order to debug forms, for example.
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 5 shows a partial example of
a hex dump.
After the printer enters hex dump mode, all characters it prints
(including any in the printer's input buffer) are printed in two forms:
as a two-symbol hexadecimal code, and as the character's
printable symbol (if it has one). A nonprintable code is printed as a
period [.] symbol. Up to 16 characters can be printed per line of hex
dump printout. While the printer is in hex dump mode, it does not
act upon any control codes, other than to print their hexadecimal
equivalents.
The 16 characters printed per line on the hex dump 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
are printed in columns 22, 23, and 24, followed by a blank. The
third through 16th characters are printed in a similar manner. 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.

Miscellaneous Menu
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.
Figure 5. Sample Hex Dump
To begin a hex dump, first place the printer offline and enable the
Hex Dump Mode option from the control panel. Next, place the
printer online. Finally, send data to the printer from the host
computer. Any data received from the host is “dumped” to the
printout.
To cancel a hex dump, first place the printer offline. Then, disable
the Hex Dump Mode option from the control panel. The paper may
then be advanced to the next top-of-form.
PTX SETUP Options
The PTX SETUP Options menu selection has two submenu
selections: Setup Parse and Setup SFCC.
Setup Parse
Setup Parse allows you to enable or disable PTX SETUP
processing. If Setup Parse is disabled, the printer prints PTX
SETUP commands as regular text. The default setting is Disabled.
Setup SFCC
Setup SFCC sets the Special Function Control Code (SFCC) for
the PTX SETUP functions. The default setting is decimal 33. (!

Emulation software and fonts are supplied on one or more 3.5 inch,
double–density diskettes. Each emulation file is “executable,” which
means you can expand it and copy it into the printer’s flash memory
with a single command. The other kinds of files are not executable;
however, before they can be downloaded, you might need to
convert them into downloadable format. You can then copy them to
the printer’s flash memory as binary data files, as instructed later in
this section.

The CNVT2FLS Utility Program
The CNVT2FLS Utility Program
The CNVT2FLSprogram is a DOS utility that is supplied with the
flash software on diskette. This utility converts logo, form, TIFF,
setup, and font files into downloadable format.
To convert files into downloadable format, do the following:
1. Create a directory on the hard drive and copy the CNVT2FLS
utility to that directory.
2. Copy all of the files to be converted to the directory where the
CNVT2FLSutility resides.
3. Change to the drive and directory where the CNVT2FLSutility
resides.
4. To display a brief help message, at the DOS prompt, enter the
command name CNVT2FLSwith no parameters:
CNVT2FLS <Return>
You will then see a help message similar to the following:
USAGE:
CNVT2FLS file_name1 file_name2 file_name3 A <return>
or
CNVT2FLS file_name1 file_name2 file_name3 A FONT <return>
file_name1: Input file name to be converted from.
file_name2: Output file name for file download.
file_name3: Flash file name to be stored in file system after download.
hw_type: Specify A all the time.
FONT: Optional, specify FONT if this is a font file.

•
•
•
The first file name following the command name is the
name of the input file that you want to convert.
The second file name is the name of the downloadable
output file, which the utility will create.
The third file name is the name of the output file as it will be
stored in the flash memory after downloading and later
displayed on the printer LCD menus.
•
•
The “A” parameter in the command line is a fixed
parameter that must always be entered.
If the file being converted is a font file, enter “FONT”
following the “A” parameter on the command line. If the file
is not a font file, omit “FONT.”
IMPORTANT
Be sure that you always enter the “A” parameter on the
CNVT2FLScommand line, as indicated above.
When the CNVT2FLSutility runs, it reads the file named
file_name1and creates the file named file_name2. The
file named file_name2is a flash downloadable file that can
be copied and downloaded to the printer, as detailed later in
this section. The utility takes the filename you specify for
file_name3and stores this information within the
downloadable output file (file_name2). The file_name3file
name is used only to determine the file name to display on the
printer front panel menus.
IMPORTANT
To make disk-based and flash-based emulations compatible
with one another, the first and third file names in the command
line must be the same.
5. To convert a font file, enter the following at the DOS prompt on
the computer, for example:
CNVT2FLS custom.sf custom.dwn custom.sf A FONT
<Return>
where custom.sfis the name of one of the font files you want
to convert. This command converts the specified font file,
creating the downloadable file custom.dwn.
6. Repeat step 5 for any additional font files to be converted.

19. Using both hands, carefully slide the drum onto the drum
auxiliary rod. When the drum reaches the area where the
auxiliary rod connects to the drum shaft, lift the drum very
slightly over the connection. Then let the drum rest on the
rubber rollers as you gently guide it into the printer.
CAUTION
The drum must rest on the rubber rollers to avoid being
scratched.
20. When the drum is fully inserted into the printer, the end of the
drum will be slightly recessed relative to the front of the printer.
At this point, the rubber guide rollers should be visible. Slightly
lift the drum up off of the rubber rollers and rotate the drum by
hand while applying inward pressure, until the drum moves
slightly farther into the printer and locks in place.
CAUTION
In order to position the drum slot and the drum shaft pin, push
the drum in all the way to the back and rotate it until you feel it
drop in place. Failure to lock the drum in place properly may
cause severe damage to the printer.
Never force the drum onto the shaft. If it feels as though the
drum is not seating properly, remove the drum and inspect the
shaft for any foreign material or burrs.
21. Remove the drum auxiliary rod from the drum shaft.
22. Install the nut and tighten it securely by hand on the drum shaft.
23. Install the lower inner cover and secure it with the two screws

24. Install the drum plate and tighten the thumbscrews. While
installing the drum plate, place your thumb over the copper
grounding clip and hold it in place. Otherwise the grounding clip
can be bent, making no contact with the drum shaft.
25. After installing the drum plate, visually verify good electrical
contact between the copper grounding clip and the end of the
drum shaft.
Alternatively, measure the resistance. Connect one lead of an
ohmmeter to the bracket on the drum plate, and touch the other
lead to the edge of the drum. Normal resistance should be 0 Ω.

Service Level Page Counts
IMPORTANT
Keep a record of all maintenance done on your printer.
Maintenance log sheets are provided in Appendix A.
Photocopy the pages and keep your maintenance log in a
binder near the printer. Every time you or your service
provider do printer maintenance make an entry in the log.
Each time you complete a level of preventive maintenance, you
must reset the service level page count by selecting the User
Maintenance option on the Maintenance menu. (See page 107.)
(The Maintenance menu is detailed in Chapter 3, “Printer
Configuration.”) Levels A, B, and C are your responsibility, while
levels D through H are the responsibility of your service provider.
When the page count reaches one of the maintenance intervals
listed below, the control panel displays one of the following
messages:
User Maint
(User)
Level X

Chapter 5
Clearing Service Level Messages
A service level includes all levels precede it. For example, at
150,000 pages, you should do Level B and Level A service. At
900,000 pages, your service provider must do Level F, Level E, and
Level D service.
Note that this condition will not cause the printer to stop printing.
When one of the above messages appears, do the appropriate
scheduled maintenance or call your factory-trained service
representative to do the maintenance.
Clearing Service Level Messages
When you have completed a level of service, you must clear the
page count for that service level. When you clear a service level,
the levels beneath it are also cleared. For example, clearing level C
also clears levels A and B. To clear a service level (level A, for
example), select the Maintenance menu from the control panel,
select the User Maint option, then select “Clear Level A” by
pressing ENTER.

CAUTION
When cleaning the photoreceptor drum, note the following:
•
•
Do not touch the drum surface with your hands.
To prevent the drum surface from being scratched, clean it
in a location free of dust.
•
Cleaning the drum may result in stains. A drum left unused
in the printer for a long time after cleaning may especially
be affected. Therefore, after cleaning and installing the
drum in the printer, use maximum size paper to print an
image repeatedly until no stains remain. Stains will usually
be cleared after printing a few dozen pages.
•
Press lightly when polishing the drum surface, as too
much pressure can damage the drum.
16. If the drum contains toner build-up, clean it with the drum
while polishing the drum surface with the freshener pad. Polish
with a slight force in the direction of the drum axis, using a
circular motion. Let the polished areas slightly overlap each
other, and polish the entire drum surface two or three times
repeatedly.
thoroughly wipe the drum freshener off the drum surface.
18. Wipe the drum surface again using a Toraysee cloth.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
This chapter discusses diagnostic tests, paper jams, and system
messages (status and error).
Diagnostics
The printer includes self-diagnostic circuits and software to aid in
the discovery, prevention, and correction of system problems and
failures. There are two kinds of diagnostics: offline and online.
Offline Diagnostics
Most of the software diagnostics are executed when the printer is
powered on, and when you request diagnostic information through
the control panel.
Each time the printer is powered on, it performs a power-on self
test. There is no printout during this test. However, the printer
displays any errors on the control panel, accompanied by an
audible alarm.
You may request the following diagnostic and configuration
information via the control panel, through various menus:
•
Test Print: Prints various predefined graphics pages to verify
that the printer can print properly on the entire page (Test Print
menu).
•
Print Statistics: Displays all accumulated print engine statistics,
such as number of pages printed and power-on time. This is a
display-only feature; there is no printout (Print Statistics menu).
197

Chapter 6
Fanfold Paper Jams
•
Print Configuration: Prints all current configuration parameters
in the printer, including Print Statistics (Config. Control menu).
Online Diagnostics
When online, the printer continues to sense and report problems or
conditions as they arise. When an error is detected, the printer
halts, lights the appropriate LED, and displays the proper error
message on the control panel. The error message will remain
displayed until the error condition is cleared and you press CLEAR.
After the error is cleared, the printer will reprint any pages that were
not ejected prior to the error, provided the Reprint on Fault option is
“Printer Configuration.”)

System Status And Error Messages
System Status And Error Messages
Messages
When an error occurs, the printer displays an appropriate message
on the control panel LCD. Some errors are operator-correctable,
some require field service, and others require the print job be run
again.
Operator-correctable errors include paper jams, missing
consumables, and power paper stacker problems. After correcting
the error condition, press CLEAR to remove the message from the
display and place the printer offline. If any data resides in the print
buffer, it will then be printed. Press ONLINE to place the printer
online.
The “stacker” errors can usually be cleared by pressing CLEAR. In
some cases, you may need to lower and then raise the stacker tray,
then press CLEAR to correct the error.
Errors requiring field service are printer failures that require the
attention of service personnel. Before calling your service
representative, press CLEAR to attempt to remove the message
from the display. If the message disappears, the original message
may have been a false error indication. If the message reappears,
call for service.
Errors requiring reprinting are those errors which require reprinting
to recover from an error condition. These are discussed in detail in
the following topics.
IMPORTANT
The stacker is reset automatically whenever you clear a paper
fault (paper jam or fanfold paper empty) error.
Reprinting Pages After Fault Condition
The printer handles errors in three ways, depending on your
configuration of the Reprint on Fault option in the Paper Control
menu.

Performance Considerations
Performance Considerations
The printer prints letter size and A4 size fanfold paper at 27 pages
per minute portrait (one page every 2.2 seconds) and 35 pages per
minute landscape. To sustain printing at full speed, data for each
page must be received and rendered in less than 2.2 seconds for
portrait mode (otherwise the printer will pause).
Failure to print at full speed may be caused by one or more of the
following:
•
•
•
•
•
an inefficient application program
an insufficient communication interface bandwidth
a slow host computer
a low priority on the host printer port or printing task
a highly complex print job, usually containing a large number of
characters and graphics that exceeds the bandwidth of the
controller
An inefficient application program is listed first because a highly
efficient program sends fewer characters to the printer than a less
effective program, and it can be used to overcome the other four
causes of performance problems. This is especially true of IGP/
VGL and IGP/PGL applications, due to the power of these printer
emulations. In many cases, converting a program from IGP/VGL to
IGP/PGL results in substantial performance improvements.
Wide width printing jobs with a large number of characters on a
page can exceed the communication bandwidth and/or the
communication speed of the host computer. A plain text print job of
132 columns by 66 lines requires a sustained data transmission
rate of 3485 characters per second, or for serial communication a
sustained throughput of 34.85 KBaud (assuming 8 bits of data, 1
stop bit, 1 start bit, and no parity bit). In this case, RS-232 would not
be an acceptable selection for communication because the
maximum RS-232 baud rate of 19.2 KBaud is less than the
required 34.85 KBaud sustained throughput. Sustaining high
communication data transfer rates may require the host computer
to be tuned to meet the printer’s speed requirements.

Appendix C
Overview
On mini or mainframe computers, printer performance problems
can usually be solved by having the system administrator perform
one or more of the following:
•
•
•
assign a higher priority to the print spooler
increase the size of the host’s output buffer
dedicate a communication controller to the printer
Solving system performance problems with IBM-compatible PC’s
varies depending upon the operating system (OS/2®, Windows® ,or
DOS®) and the speed and manufacturer of the PC. Performance
problems with networked printers are best left to the expertise of
the network administrator, since each element between the printer
and the host computer can affect performance.
There will be cases where the desired printout is sufficiently
complex to exceed the bandwidth of the controller. This will be
evident if the printer is exerting the communication flow control for
extended periods of time followed by a printer pause. Assuming
that the software application has already been tuned for efficiency,
under these circumstances, do the following:
1. Check to see if the minimum amount of memory is installed
(see Appendix B, “Specifications”).
2. Try changing the font cache memory allocation based upon the
size of characters being sent. See the “Maximum Cached
3. Set the Image Width configuration menu parameter to the
minimum width required for the print job.
4. Try to minimize the number of font changes per page.
5. Try to decrease the printing resolution (400 DPI to 300 DPI, or
300 DPI to 240 DPI).
6. Decrease the complexity and/or number of characters in the
printed output.
For application efficiency in IGP/PGL or IGP/VGL, it is best to store
a form in the printer and then execute it with dynamic data, rather
than send the entire form each time.

RS-232 Serial Interface
Also if possible, eliminate sending white space (spaces or tabs) at
the end of lines if it is not necessary.
Memory intensive applications may require an adjustment to the
allocation of global memory for optimal performance. This may
include applications where:
•
•
the form length is greater than 24 inches
a great number of forms or fonts are being used
interchangeably
•
the printing resolution is 400 dpi
Refer to the L5035 Maintenance Manual or contact a qualified
service representative for details on adjusting the global memory.
RS-232 Serial Interface
This interface is used with bit serial devices compatible with EIA®
RS-232E 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.
The maximum baud rate supported by the RS-232 serial interface
is 19.2 KB.
Printing at full-rated speed may require either an RS-422 or parallel
connection for wide format printing applications.

Appendix C
Overview
RS-232 Serial Interface Connector Pin Assignments
The printer provides a 25-pin DB-25S connector inside the lower
cabinet for connection of a serial interface cable. This connector is
also used for the RS-422 serial interface. Selection of the desired
interface is determined by the position of the RS-232/422 switch
located inside the lower cabinet of the printer.
The following table lists the pin assignments of the RS-232
interface connector.

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 control
signal from the host with the same timing and polarity as the data
lines. Sensing of the PAPER INST line (PI line) is controlled by
printer configuration.
NOTE: The PAPER INST line must be disabled (configuration
option selected from the control panel) if the host computer
does not drive or control it. If the line is not controlled by the

Termination Resistors
Termination Resistors
For parallel interface configurations, the printer is equipped with
470 ohm pullup and 1K pulldown terminating resistors located on
the printer motherboard, P/N 703220-001.
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. For example, the
Dataproducts interface and some host computers require the use of
220 ohm pullup and 330 ohm pulldown resistors.
If you are experiencing communication problems between the
printer and host (double or missing characters), 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.
