Caution for use
❏ Power sourc e
• Be sure to insert the power plug only in a wall unit of
the voltage designated in the voltage selector switch
and on the rating plate on the back of the unit.
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources or place
heavy objects on it. Do not bend or twist the power
cord.
❏ Foreign matter and water
• Keep your hands and personal items, such as scarfs and
ties, away from the carriage mechanism while the
printer is operating. The carriage moves with
considerable force.
• Keep the printer dry. If you accidentally spill water on
the machine, turn the power off immediately and wipe
it dry. Do not turn the power on until the machine is
completely dry.
❏ Installation environment
• The printer should be used where humidity is low,
where there is little dust, and where the printer is not
in direct sunlight.
• Avoid placing or leaning anything on top of the
printer. If you accidentally drop any object into the
machine, turn the power off immediately, then
carefully remove the object.
• Do not twist the ribbon while installing it.
❏ Operating condition
• Wait at least two seconds after turning power off before
turning it back again. The initialization process may
not be performed correctly if this is not done.
• Do not touch the print head immediately after printing
because it is too hot.
• Never operate the printer without paper or paper
properly installed. If you use paper that is not as wide
as the platen, be sure that printing does not exceed
paper width. Use software control to change the width
of the print line.
• Never insert or pull out an interface cable while the power to the printer and computer is on.
• Be sure to turn off the printer before turning off a connected host computer.

Options and expendables
The Cut Sheet Feeder provides fast and automatic feeding
of Cut Sheet on the BP-6000. It greatly enhances the speed
and efficiency of document printing by feeding of up to 80
single sheets of paper without reloading.
We recommend the use of the Pull Tractor, especially,
when using the extra-thick papers or performing
continuous operation. This is the preferred path since it
is the most efficient paper feed path.

Adjusting the print head position
The head adjustment is used to obtain the best print quality possible for the specific paper
being used. The print head position can be adjusted to accommodate printing on single and
multipart forms. When using multipart forms, move the print head adjustment lever toward the
front of the printer to widen the gap between the print head and the platen.
In general, position 1 is used for one-part paper. Moving the head adjustment lever one notch
adjusts the print head gap an amount corresponding to the addition of one more paper part.
Re-adjustment of the lever may be required depending on the quality of the actual printout:
• If smears are shown on the paper, the gap is too narrow.
• If the printed image is too light to read, the gap is too wide.
Upper limit: Single sheet
First click: 2 layered paper
6th click: 5 layered papar
(This scale is only the
suggestive number of sheet
Head Adjustment Lever:
Move toward the front of
the printer for thicker paper
for non-carbon part-paper.)
Notes
1. The print head adjustment lever should be set before loading the paper to avoid any
paper jams.
2. If the printed image on the last copy of a multipart form is too light to read, set the
MULTIPART mode in the basic setup options (see page 30). This will increase the
striking intensity for multipart forms by double or more striking each character.

About basic setup options
The setup options serve to define various initial states of the printer that are executed when the
power is turned on or when the RESET key is pressed. In addition, this mode serves to
redefine the font type, character spacing, and other parameters for the printer's current
operating conditions. The parameters set in the setup options are stored in the memory of the
printer and used as the default values in initialize operations.
❏ To set this option
When the SETUP key is pressed in the offline mode, the printer enters the function setup
mode, where various functions can be set. The keys used in the function setup mode are
described below.

6. Press the EXIT key to terminate the setup options and return to the offline state or press the
ON LINE key to return to the on line state.
❏ Setup Memory
Current memory
The printer contains one current memory for automatically storing the preset setup states and
three user memories for storing data that is designated by the user.
The current memory automatically stores the configuration when the setup options are
terminated. When the power is turned on or when the RESET key is pressed, the printer
automatically sets the configuration per the current memory. Thus, when entering the setup
options, the contents of the current memory can be altered.
User memory
The user memories can store three different configurations. The user can set and recall the
contents of the memory to configure the printer. When the power is turned on or when the
RESET key is pressed, the contents stored in the user memories are not used as the initial
values. To use the contents of the user memories as the initial values, it is necessary to select
one of the user memories, MEM1 to MEM3, in the setup options and evoke the contents as the
preset condition.
To use the contents of the user memory as the current setup, it is necessary to display the “6.
SELECT SETUP” on the menu and select one of the user memories. Exiting from the setup
options with a user memory selected will cause the contents of the user memory to be stored in
the current memory which then becomes the printer initial values.
To store a configuration in a user memory, display the “45. SAVE SETUP” selection in the
advanced setup options and select one of the user memories. The current setup content is
stored in the specified memory when exiting the setup options.

PRE-DIRECTION
UNI-DIRECTION
BI-DIRECTION
• Pre-directional printing:
Whenever a double pass of the print head is required, the direction of the second pass is the
same as that of the first pass. This logic-seeking, unidirectional printing can be used,
therefore, in modes such as double strike and double height printing. The logic seeking
capability is executed before the first pass of the print head. The printing direction of all paths
is the same as that of the first pass.
• Bi-directional printing:
Successive passes of the print head alternate between the left-right and right-left direction.
• Uni-directional printing:
Data is always printed in a single direction from the left to the right. This selection on the
front panel will ignore a software print direction command.
When unidirectional printing is set, a software command with respect to the printing direction
is not accepted. When pre-directional printing or bidirectional printing is set, a software
bidirectional command is executed.

About printer driver
Printer Driver is a section of your software that automatically translates instructions from the
software to your printer.
For example, when using some application software, if you want to boldface or underline a
word, the printer driver automatically translates your specific boldface or underline instruction
on your application software to printer control command.
Different printers use different control codes for designating print styles. Therefore, it is
important that when you install your software, you select the appropriate printer driver
designed for your printer.
When WINDOWS 3.1, WINDOWS NT 4.0, or WINDOWS 95, 98 is used, please install the
Printer Driver in the attached Floppy Disk to WINDOWS.
When this printer in the MS-DOS or other environment, such as UNIX or OS/2, proceed as
follows.
Printer driver selection
Select a suitable printer driver from the list of supported printers. This would include either
the Epson FX-1050 or IBM Proprinter III XL. Each of these printer drivers should allow
you to access many of the features on your printer.
If this printer is not listed, look for the following printer drivers. While this should allow you
to print your document with your printer, it probably will not allow you to access the many

B. Control code summary (bar code)
❏ Bar code control codes
This command becomes effective when the "Bar code command" in the extended setup
options is set to "MODE1 or MODE2".
To print a bar code from your host, firstly set the bar code type designation and a desired
print sizes. Then send the bar code data with BAR CODE DATA sequence(DC4 DC4 B).
Most bar code type has a variable data length, if you want to add a check digit
automatically, set check digit YES in the setup options and send data with one less digit.
Fixed data length bar code type is specified with the number of digit in the summary table
below.

B. Control code summary (bar code)
About bar code element type
Any bar code type can be expressed in bar codes by varying bar elements; narrow bar, wide
bar, narrow space, wide space, and intercharacter gap. However, HRI, check digit, and
start/end code have to be added manually. If a specific type of bar code other than
specified earlier does not satisfy your needs, create your own program to translate data to a
specific bar code.
Sample program: Print "CODE39" in code 39 format using bar code element print.
