• Print head overheating
The printer prints each line in three passes to protect the print head
when overheating is detected.
• Skewed feeding
When the printer detects skewed feed during loading from the front
table, the printer ejects a cut sheet by reverse line feeding.
• Internal lock switch (not available in some countries)
If the top cover is opened during printing, the printer will
automatically stop, and the remainder of the print data from the line
being printed will be lost. Therefore, do not open the top cover
during printing.

2. Binding hole
The shaded area on page 7-15 also places restrictions on binding
holes punched in that area. If punching is necessary, make the holes
7 mm (0.28 in) or less in diameter.
3. Smearing caused by paper feed roller
If the percentage of printing in the shaded areas in the figure below
is high, the paper feed roller may smear paper at loading or ejection.
Design the format to make areas as far away from the printed area
as possible or print a color or pattern on the paper to make smearing
unnoticeable.
Smeared areas in the figure below assume that the left margin is
25.4 mm (1 in). If the left margin is changed, smear areas move
proportionally.

CHAPTER
Setup Mode
8
The printer provides two modes: normal mode, for everyday printer
operations, and setup mode, for selecting printer options and helping
diagnose printer problems.
Overview
Setup is performed offline using the printer control panel, an approach
called offline setup, or remotely using a processor or software, an
approach called setup program online setup. This chapter focuses on
offline setup. The section “Performing Online Setup” on page 8-48
applies to all emulations.
Optional printer settings include emulation, font, spacing, page length
and width, serial interface, and top-of-form. Saving settings in the
printer's permanent memory makes them the default settings. Default
settings are activated whenever the printer is turned on. If DPL24C
PLUS is saved as the default emulation, for example, DPL24C PLUS
is activated when the printer is next turned on.
SETUP MODE
Printer diagnostic functions include SELF-TST, HEX-DUMP, and
V-ALMNT, used in troubleshooting. HEX-DUMP is mainly used by
programmers.
For printers that use the LED control panel, perform offline setup as
follows. Firstly, print setup function, item, and option. Press the
FONT, MENU, or LOCK button to move the yellow arrow on the
print head beneath the desired selection.
For printers that use the LCD control panel, perform offline setup as
follows. Firstly, display the setup function, item, and option on the
LCD screen. Press F1, F2, or F3 to select the desired function. On the
LCD display, options can be easily set, and functions un be easily
executline setup function using the LCD control panel, see
Appendix E, “Using the LCD Type Control Panel.”

Values” on page 8-36.
For information on using SELF-TST, HEX-DUMP, and V-ALMNT,
see “Using Diagnostic Functions” on page 8-37.
Experienced users can turn to the flowchart at the end of this chapter,
which lists the printer setup functions and options for quick reference.
Before entering setup mode, load continuous forms paper. For
information, see “Loading Continuous Forms (Front)” on page 4-1.
You will need approximately eight sheets of paper to print all setup
selections.
Activating
Setup Mode
Enter setup mode as follows:
1. Check that forms are loaded.
2. Press ONLINE to place the printer offline.
3. Press FONT and MENU together until the printer beeps.

and continuous forms. The last task applies to cut sheets only.
The top edge of paper is the physical top of the page. The logical top
of the page, as understood by the printer when loading paper, is called
its top-of-form, where printing starts. Printing actually starts at the
position obtained by adding the following:
Top-of-form; default value = 1 inch (25.4 mm)
Top margin specified by software
Printer’s <TOP-MRG> (top margin) setting; default value = 1 line
Table 8-5 lists ADJUST items and options in the order they are
printed. The procedure for changing the top-of-form follows Table
8-5.

<TEAR-EN>
Specifies the offset time when tearoff is enabled.
0 SEC
1 SEC
2 SEC
4 SEC
6 SEC
The offset time is measured from when data transfer stops
to when the printer performs automatic tearoff feed. If the
printer receives data again within the offset time, the
printer does not perform automatic tearoff feed. In some
application programs, data transfer may stop temporarily
because of internal processing. This setting can prevent
undesired tearoff feed by causing the printer to wait for up
to 6 seconds each time data transfer stops.
<CUTLOAD>
Specifies how cut sheets are loaded using the front table.
Cut-sheet paper is automatically loaded within a certain
time after paper is loaded.
AUTO
BUTTON
Cut-sheet paper is loaded by pressing the LOAD button
(or LOAD/UNLOAD button).
SETUP MODE
The <LOADTIM> item is printed when AUTO is specified for the <CUTLOAD> item.

<DECODE>
Specifies the timing of command decoding.
The printer decodes certain commands right after receiving
data.
DIRECT
Example:
ESC SUB I, ESC CR P (DPL24C+)
ESC Q # (IBM XL24E)
The printer decodes commands after storing all data
(including commands) in the input buffer. This speeds
data reception because the printer needs no decode time
during data reception.

Test printing (SELF-TST)
SELF-TST prints test pages to check printer operation independent of
the processor. It does not check the interface between the processor and
printer.
SELF-TST prints the printer’s firmware version number, resident
emulations, and all characters available in the currently selected
character set. If the DPL24C PLUS emulation is selected for MENU1,
printing uses settings currently assigned to MENU1. If Prestige Elite
12 is selected, for example, the test uses Prestige Elite 12.
The following procedure assumes the printer is in setup mode. Check
that continuous forms are loaded. Then do the following:
1. Print the <<FUNCTION>> menu.
The <<FUNCTION>> menu should be the last printed line on the
page. If it is not printed, press ONLINE. If using HEX-DUMP,

Checking vertical print alignment (V-ALMNT)
V-ALMNT corrects vertical character displacement that may occur in
bidirectional printing. Characters printed from left to right and right
to left become misaligned as follows:
This example shows how printing looks
when characters are vertically
misaligned. Note that the left
margin is not straight.
Check that continuous forms are loaded. If possible, use forms at least
356 mm (14 inches) wide to avoid printing on the platen. For letter or
A4 size, set WIDTH in MENU1 to 8 inches. See “Changing MENU1
and MENU2 Options” on page 8-11. Check and correct vertical
alignment as follows:

Performing Online Setup
The procedures explained in the preceding sections use offline setup
Performing
Online Setup
mode. Offline setup mode makes setting printer features one by one
from the control panel easier by printing the desired options for
checking.
In online setup mode, printer features are set via the processor instead
of the printer control panel.
1. Place the printer in online setup mode in one of two ways:
• Turn off the printer and then turn it back on while pressing
MENU. Hold down the button until the printer beeps. (Printers
with the LCD control panel can be placed in the online setup
mode only in the next way.)
• Issue printer command ESC e ONLINE. This command is valid
in any emulation.
2. Send setup data from the processor in one of three ways:
• Enter setup data directly from the processor keyboard before
starting work. For MS-DOS, hold down Ctrl and type P; data
entered from the keyboard is sent directly to the printer. When
data entry is complete, hold down Ctrl again and type P. This
procedure is useful when you are changing just a few settings.
• Use an editor to prepare a setup data file and send the file to the
printer using a command. For MS-DOS, use the COPY
command. This procedure is useful when you are using settings
repeatedly.
• Write a program that enables interactive entry of setup data on
the screen. This procedure is the most useful among the three.
Check with your dealer regarding the latest available programs.
3. Exit online setup mode by sending EXIT as the last setup data.

CHAPTER
Notes on Safety
9
Note the following for safe use of the printer:
1. Dirt
Keep the printer clean and free of obstacles at all times.
Keep liquids, such as water and coffee, and metal objects, such as
paper clips and pins, away from the printer.
2. Vibration and impact shock
Protect the printer from excess vibration.
Do not drop or strike the printer in such a way as to cause impact
shock.
3. Long-term storage without use.
Remove the power cable from the outlet.
4. Cleaning
NOTES ON
SAFETY
Clean the outer cover gently with a soft cloth moistened with water
or a neutral detergent. Using a solvent such as benzene or thinner
or other corrosive substances may damage or discolor the cover.
5. Print head
Before printing, make sure that paper and a ribbon are loaded.
Printing without these damages the print head and platen.
Do not touch or force the print head when moving.
Do not turn off power when the print head is moving.
The print head becomes very hot during printing, and should not
be touched until it becomes cool.

Notes on Safety
6. Ribbon cassette
A Fujitsu ribbon cassette is recommended. Other cassettes may
cause problems in operation or damage the print head. Fujitsu takes
no responsibility for print head faults caused by such cassettes.
Ensure that ribbons are not slack.
7. Paper
Store and handle paper carefully.
Avoid storing paper where humidity is high.
8. Installation conditions
Install the printer away from direct sunlight and heat-generating
equipment such as heaters.
Install the printer away from very humid places or areas where dust
contains oil or iron.
Install the printer on the flat and stable table.
Keep the area around the printer clean.
Keep the printer vent clear.
Check that the platen knob turns smoothly.
To ensure smooth paper feeding, align the edges of the printer and
table as shown in the figure below.

APPENDIX
Interface Information
C
The printer communicates with a processor through either a
Centronics parallel interface or a pre-installed add-on RS-232C serial
interface. The printer cannot use both interfaces at the same time.
This appendix provides information on wiring interface cables or
programming for processor-to-printer communications. To simply
connect the printer and processor, read the instructions in Chapter 2,
“Setting Up the Printer.”
The Centronics parallel interface is the industry standard. It supports
the bi-directional data transfer in nibble mode of the IEEE 1284
standard. It is also compatible with the conventional Centronics
interface. The cable connector at the printer should be a shielded
Amphenol DDK 57FE-30360 or equivalent.
Parallel
Interface
The following table lists the connector pin assignments. Note the
following:
• “Input” indicates a signal sent to the printer from the processor.
• “Output” indicates a signal sent from the printer.
• Return lines specified in the “Return pin number” column represent
twisted pairs, with one side connected to signal ground.
• The standard signal levels are 0.0 to +0.4 V for low and +2.4 to
+5.0 V for high.

Reverse data transfer phase:
This signal is set low when the host can
receive data, and goes high when the
host has received data. Following a
reverse data transfer, the interface enters
the reverse idle phase when the Host
Busy signal goes low and the printer has
no data.
Reverse idle phase:
This signal goes high when the Printer
Clock signal goes low so that the
interface re-enters the reverse data
transfer phase. If it goes high with the
1284 Active signal low, the idle phase is
aborted and the interface returns to the

Data Transmission Timing
The 6400 Pro/6600 Pro uses a bi-directional parallel interface
Data
Transmission
Timing
complying with IEEE 1284. This interface is also compatible with the
conventional Centronics interface. Data transfer from host to print is
performed according to Centronics standard, called compatible mode.
Data transfer from printer to host, it is performed according to the
IEEE 1284 standard, called nibble mode.
In compatible mode, the printer receives data from the computer in
handshaking mode based on the Busy and Acknowledge signals from
the printer and the Data Strobe signal from the computer. For the Data
Strobe and Acknowledge signals, the timing of the Busy signal must be
as shown in Figure C-1.
To send data from the printer to the host, the interface enters the
nibble mode where data is sent in units of four bits (nibble) using the
four output signal lines as data paths. The data transfer sequence in
nibble mode involves negotiation phase, reverse idle phase, reverse data
transfer phase, and termination phase. Figure C-2 shows the reverse
data transfer phase where data is sent.

Serial Interface
RS-232C is the standard serial interface for data terminal equipment
Serial Interface
(DTE). The cable connector at the printer should be a D-subminiature
Cannon or Cinch DB-25P pronged connector or equivalent
conforming to EIA standards.
The following table shows pin assignments commonly used by most
processors.
Note the following:
• “Input” indicates a signal sent to the printer from the processor.
• “Output” indicates a signal sent from the printer.
• The signal level for mark (logical 1) is –3 V or lower; for space
(logical 0), it is +3 V or higher.

Cable Wiring
The printer allows two types of serial communication control: DSR
Cable Wiring
enabled and DSR disabled. The type used is determined by processor
requirements and affects the way the interface cable is wired. To select
between DSR-enabled and DSR-disabled control, use the printer
HARDWRE function (see “Changing Hardware Options” on page
8-24 and in subsequent sections).
DSR-disabled control offers simpler cabling and communication than
DSR-enabled control. It can be used for interfacing with an IBM or
most other PCs. With DSR-disabled control, input control signals
DSR, CTS, and CD are always considered high, regardless of their
actual status. Therefore, a wire connection for these pins is not
required. The following figure below shows the wiring required for
connection to an IBM PC.

DSR-enabled control enables communication with an RS-232C
interface. The CTS and DSR input control signals are enabled; CD is
ignored. DSR must be high when the printer receives data. If the
printer has data to be transmitted, it transmits data immediately when
both DSR and CTS are high.

Serial Protocols
A protocol is a set of instructions that control the way data is
Serial Protocols
transmitted between devices such as a processor and printer. The
protocol ensures that the processor does not send information to the
printer faster than the data can be processed. By telling the processor
when it can receive data, the protocol prevents the printer buffer from
overflowing.
This printer offers a choice of four protocols: XON/XOFF, DTR, RC,
and ETX/ACK. The following table gives details. If no particular
protocol is recommended, try DTR.
Table C–1 Serial protocols
Protocol
Description
ON/XOFF
When the printer is ready to receive data, it sends
(DC1/DC3) the XON (DC1) code (hex 11). When fewer than
255 bytes of space remain in the buffer, or when the
printer is switched offline, the printer sends the
XOFF (DC3) code (hex 13). The processor must
stop transmitting data within 255 (63) characters of
receiving XOFF, or information may be lost.
DTR
(hardware)
The DTR signal on interface cable pin 20 controls
the flow of data rather than sending a character
code.
RC
Same as DTR except that it uses the Reverse
Channel signal (pin 11) instead of the Data
Terminal Ready signal (pin 20).
ETX/ACK
This protocol is a little more complicated, but allows
faster throughput under some conditions. The
processor adds the End of Text ETX character
(hex 03) at the end of each block of print data. The
block, including the ETX character, is usually half
the printer input buffer, but it can be as large as the
input buffer.
The processor must stop transmitting the next block
of data until it receives the ACK character, or
information may be lost. Data transmission
continues until the printer finishes printing two
blocks, providing high-throughput data
communication.

Using the LCD/LED Type Control Panel
E
Two types of printer control panel are available: the light-emitting
diode (LED) lamp type and the liquid-crystal display (LCD) type.
With the LED lamp type control panel,
• Status or error information is represented by on/off states of the LED
lamps or, in some cases, by combinations of the LED lamps.
• Setup information is printed on paper.
• Button functions are determined for each button and for
combinations of two or more buttons.
With the LCD type control panel,
• Status or error information is represented by a combination of up to
48 characters, consisting of numerals, letters, and symbols, displayed
on the LCD screen.
• Setup information is displayed on the LCD screen.
• Button functions are displayed on the LCD, and the functions of
some buttons can be programmed by firmware.
The body of this manual describes operations and functions using the
LED type control panel. This appendix describes operations of the
LCD type control panel, focusing on
• Basic printer operations
• Setup menu operations
You use the printer control panel to control most printer operations. If
your printer is equipped with the LCD type control panel, read the
entire first section to familiarize yourself with this type of control
panel.
This appendix does not generally repeat the descriptions and
procedures that are the same as or similar to those for printers with the
LED type control panel. This appendix also does not describe
individual operations, but gives basic information necessary for
everyday printer operations using the LCD type control panel.

Getting Acquainted with the Control Panel
Overview of menus
The printer has two types of menus:
• Basic menus
• Setup menus
The basic menus allow you to select frequently used printer options.
These menus allow you to feed paper, select fonts, print quality, and
character pitch, and reset the printer. In addition, one of the basic
menus allows you to enter setup mode.
The setup menus – available in setup mode – allow you to specify the
printer's default operating parameters (also called the power-on default
settings). The setup menus allow you to set the printer's hardware
conditions, top-of-form position, and various print characteristics. You
can also perform some other special functions, such as printing a list of
current parameter settings. To use the setup menus, see the section
“Using the Setup Menus” on page E-14.
Points to remember about basic menus
• You can use basic menus while the printer is either online or offline.
• The changes you make using basic menus are temporary. The
changes are not saved in the printer's permanent memory. (To
permanently change the printer's default settings, use the SAVE
function. See “Example of operations” on page E-16.)
Using the basic menus
The printer's four basic menus are each displayed in three panels on the
LCD screen. This section shows the basic menus and summaries their
functions and the effects of buttons on the menus. This section then
describes common operations using the basic menus.

Using the Setup
Menus
With the LED type control panel, setup functions, items, and options
to be selected are printed on paper. To specify or execute a selection,
position the yellow arrow on the print head at the selection using the
ONLINE, FONT, MENU, and LOCK buttons.
With the LCD type control panel, setup functions, items, and options
are displayed on a 24-character × 2-line LCD. The LCD screen is
divided into three parts in which functions, items, and options are
displayed respectively. These three parts also correspond to the F1, F2,
and F3 buttons beneath the LCD. You can select or execute desired
functions, items, and options using these three buttons according to
messages that appear above the buttons.
The organization of setup functions, items, and options is the same for
both types of control panels. Abbreviated names of functions, items,
and options printed or displayed are also the same. See Chapter 8 for
information on items that are the same.
This section describes the basic operations used in setup mode. It also
describes some typical operations in detail. However, this section does
not describe all setup mode operations because the LCD screen
messages are self-explanatory.
Selecting options
The MENU1, MENU2, HARDWRE, ADJUST, CONFIG, and
GAP-ADJ functions have options you can select or change. For these
functions, the F1, F2, and F3 buttons work as described below.
Relationship of the three screen sections and the F1, F2, F3 buttons
As described in “Setup Mode Reference” on page 8-44, setup mode
provides many functions, items, and options. To make the display suit
the hierarchical structure of setup mode and to make the operation of
buttons easy, the screen is divided into three parts, from left to right
displaying functions, items, and options. You can easily make a desired
selection by selecting a function using F1, an item using F2, and an
option using F3, in this sequence.

Error messages
Many printer messages are informational. They are intended to guide
you in using the printer. Because these messages are self-explanatory
and require no corrective action, they are not discussed here.
This section lists and gives possible solutions for two types of error
messages:
• Messages indicating user-correctable problems
• Messages indicating fatal errors
When you see an error message, first check table E-3, E-4 and E-5 for
the LED model and table E-6 for the LCD model to determine
whether it indicates a problem you can correct. If the message is not
listed in table E-3 to E-6, check the list of fatal error messages in
table E-7 for the LED model or the list on page E-34 for the LCD
model.
Messages indicating user-correctable problems
For both printer models, LED model and LCD model, the messages
indicating user-correctable problems fall into two categories:
• Operational error messages
• Warning error messages

An operational error message indicates a problem you can correct

Note: Incorrect settings on the RS-232C do not always cause parity

the printer are multiples of 4800, such as 19200, framing
errors are not detectable, and meaningless data indicates a
setting error. These errors do not affect the line from the host
computer. An error remains if the printer is online and no
other warning is displayed until push button operation or an
operational error or fatal error is detected. The buzzer sounds
each time a download error occurs.

A warning error message indicates an interface or data format error
while the printer is online. The printer remains online and printing
does not stop, but the following happens:
• The ALARM indicator turns red.
• An alarm sounds (unless it was deactivated in setup mode).
For example, the display appears as follows when a buffer control error
occurs on the serial interface.

Messages indicating fatal errors
LED model
Generally, a user cannot clear errors caused by defective printer
hardware because usually, the printer does not restart. Therefore, when
a fatal error occurs, immediately call your repair service center. For
preliminary identification help of the fatal error types possible, please
read the information below.
If a fatal error occurs, the printer enters one of the following states:
• If printing is in progress, it is stopped immediately.
• The ONLINE indicator goes off, and the printer goes offline.
• The PAPER OUT indicator blinks, and the alarm buzzer sounds.
• One of the FONT LEDs light up, thus indirectly indicating the
alarm type (see table E-7 for the errors and their corresponding
LEDs.)

Fatal errors other then “Jam lever open” cannot be corrected. Fatal
errors include serious mechanical or electrical problems that prevent
the printer from operating. Printing stops immediately, and the
following occurs:
• The ALARM indicator blinks red.
• The ONLINE indicator turns off (the printer goes offline).
• An alarm sounds.
A fatal error message cannot be cleared. Usually, the printer does not
restart. When a fatal error occurs, call your repair service. The upper
line of the display shows FATAL! For example, the display appears as
follows if the voltage is too low for printer operation.
FATAL!

The fatal error messages are listed here alphabetically.
• CSF motor driver
• Fan doesn't work
• Jam lever open (To correct, turn off power, close the jam lever, and
turn power back on.)
• Left end sensor
• LF motor driver
• Low voltage
• Overload
• Paper too thick
• Print head driver
