GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1. Introduction

Ideal for computer business applications, the MX-80 Type II Dot Matrix Printer is

the latest extension of EPSON advanced printer technology. This new printer

couples innovative design and precision manufacturing with long life, low cost,

light weight and superior performance. The MX-80 Type II features a 9 x 9 dot

matrix print head that can be replaced easily, and 80 CPS bidirectional printing

with logic seeking capability. This printer also offers 40-, 66-, 80-, and 132-column

printing widths. And characters can be printed in any desired size - normal,

enlarged, condensed, etc. Another important feature of the MX-80 Type II is its

capability of printing not only in both Text and Bit Image* modes but also in

mixed Text/Bit Image Mode.

A one-chip microcomputer performs all system control and the two built-in

stepper motors of the printer control the carriage movement and paper feeding

functions respectively. Therefore, versatile software controls, such as form feed,

programmable line spacing and skip-over perforation are at your disposal. In addi-

tion, various interface options are available to permit handshaking with most VSBC

computers.

In addition to the MX-80 Type II which is an adjustable sprocket pin feed type, a

friction and adjustable sprocket feed type called “MX-80 F/T Type II” is also

available. In this manual, installation of MX-80 Type II and MX-80 F/T Type II

will be described individually and then the operation which is common to both

will be described.

*Bit Image

charts, etc.,

control.

printing refers to the hard-copy production of illustrations, graphs,

on the Printer by activating 8 dot wires respectively under software

2. Characteristics

The MX-80 Type II and MX-80 F/T Type II have been designed as a printer with

versatile functions to meet a wide range of applications from small business to

home uses and even for hobbies. The following is a brief summary of their major

characteristics.

(1) Both text printing for general data processing and Bit Image printing for

graphic data processing are freely available.

In the Bit Image printing, both normal density (480 dots/line in horizontal

direction) and dual density (960 dots/line in horizontal direction) modes are

selectable under software control.

(2) Wide variation of printing width and character size

(a) 40 characters/line (enlarged character)

(b) 66 characters/line (enlarged-condensed character)

(d) 132 characters/line (condensed character)

(e) Programmable column length

(3) Versatile functions to meet various business applications

(a) Top of Form - page length setting in line or inch units is possible, with

initial setting to 11 or 12 inches.

(b) Skip-over perforation - automatic skip-over function selectable by DIP

switch setting or variable by software.

(d) Vertical tabulation and horizontal tabulation

(e) Buzzer, printer select/deselect function.

(4) High throughput by bidirectional printing with logic seeking capability.

(5) Easy-to-replace “throwaway” print head. The print head has a life expectancy

of approx. 100 x 106 characters.

(6) 8 international character sets are selectable by DIP switch setting or software.

(7) Complete with standard equipment including paper end detector, custom

cartridge ribbon, etc.

of shipping damage or mishandling. If such evidence is present, notify the carrier

immediately.

1.1. Unpacking steps

Unpacking steps are as follows:

STEP 1. Open the carton.

STEP 2. Remove accessories.

STEP 3. Remove the MX-80 Type I I holding its underside and lifting it straight

up with the packing material attached.

STEP4. Place the Printer with the packing material on a table or any other

convenient flat surface.

STEP 5. Take off the packing material carefully.

STEP 6. Remove the vinyl cover.

1.2. Repacking steps

Repacking can be carried out by following the above steps in the reverse order.

(Repacking: Shipment for repair, storage, etc.)

NOTE: It is recommended that all original packing materials be saved for reuse in case the

MX-80 Type II requires reshipment in the future.

2. Counting the Parts

The MX-80 Type II and standard accessories are as shown in Fig. 2. Upon unpack-

ing, if you notice any listed contents missing or evident damage, contact the store

where you purchased the MX-80 Type I I as soon as possible.
