HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

This manual is organized into five chapters and four appendixes. To

of chapters 1 through 5. The appendixes can be referred to as necessary.

Chapter 1 explains how to get the printer unpacked and set up. Read this

chapter before you do anything else.

Chapter 2 explains the control panel. After getting set up, read this chapter

and try out the procedures in it to find out how the printer works.

Chapter 3 gives tips on using word-processing programs and other com-

mercial software with this printer. Read this chapter in conjunction with

your software manual.

Chapter 4 is addressed to do-it-yourself programmers. It shows simple

programming examples using DOS commands and BASIC.

Chapter 5 covers maintenance and troubleshooting. Look through this

chapter to see what it contains, then refer to it as necessary later.

Appendix A lists the printer’s technical specifications.

Appendix B details the functions of escape sequences and other printer

commands.

Appendix C presents a BASIC program you can use to define and download

new characters.

Appendix D presents tables of the printer’s character sets.

FEATURES OF THE PRINTER

This printer is a compact, convenient, monochrome printer with a full

complement of features, making it an excellent partner for a personal

computer. It supports the IBM/Epson printer commands and character sets,

enabling it to print just about anything your computer can generate, both

text and graphics. Some of its main features are the following:

l Extensive software support

Since it is compatible with the Epson and IBM printers, it works with

any software that supports those printers. That includes most

word-processing and graphics programs, spreadsheets, and integrated

software packages.

l Easy operation

Clearly understandable lamp displays and beep tones provide immediate

feedback when you press the switches on the control panel. The four switches

can operate in combinations to perform a surprising variety of functions,

including micro-alignment.

l Easy care and maintenance

The ribbon cartridge can be replaced in seconds; the print head in a few

minutes.

l Versatile paper handling

Single sheets, fanfold forms, and multi-copy forms (up to triple-ply)

are all accepted, and you can use either tractor or friction feed. A special

feature enables you to keep fanfold forms parked in readiness while printing

on other paper.

l High-resolution letter-quality printing

When you select an LQ type style, the printer slows down and employs

a dense matrix of up to 24 by 35 dots to print clear, well-formed characters.

l Large variety of type styles and sizes

The printer has one draft style and four LQ styles (Courier, Prestige,

Orator, and Script), plus italics for all styles, plus condensed print, bold

print, double-sized print, quadruple-sized print - see the samples on the

Type styles are:

Draft characters, Courier characters,

Prestige characters, ORATOR CHARACTERS,

Sdp~ w,

sfm' italics for ALL 4t.y&4.

LOCATING THE PRINTER

Give some thought to the best place to put the printer. Both the printer

and computer should be used in a normal indoor environment. For best

performance, we recommend:

l Place the printer on a flat surface.

l Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat-producing appliances.

l Use it only in temperatures where you are comfortable.

l Avoid locations with dust, grease, or high humidity.

a ,Supply it “clean” electricity. Don’t connect it to the same circuit as a large,

noise-producing appliance such as a refrigerator.

l Make sure the line voltage is within 10% of the voltage specified on the

identification plate.

l If you will be using fanfold forms, place the printer where the forms can

feed up to it from below, with at least a full page hanging free.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Check the carton contents

Open the carton and check each item in the box against Figure l-l to

make sure that you have everything (there should be five items).

Figure 1-I. Check to make sure you have all five items: 1) Printer, 2) Paper guide, 3) Platen

knob, 4) Ribbon cartridge, and 5) User’s mantial.

Make an external inspection of the printer. Note the locations of the

following parts:

Bail lever: opens and closes the paper bail which holds the paper

against the platen.
