The test prints two rows of triangles for each of the possible RIBBON parameter settings, with an asterisk next to the rows that print with the currently-selected RIBBON parameter setting.
User's Guide Solving Problems 6-25 Checking Printing Alignment The printing alignment test checks to make sure that left-to-right printing aligns with right-to-left printing. The test prints a row of vertical lines with the carriage moving from left-to-right.
User's Guide 6-26 Solving Problems Re-Calibrating the Paper Sensor The paper sensor test adjusts the sensitivity of the paper sensor so that it can accurately sense paper in the printer. It is only necessary to run this test if the RUN PCALIB TEST error message appears, or if erroneous LOAD PAPER or CLEAR PAPER JAM errors occur.
User's Guide Solving Problems 6-27 Checking Carriage Movement The random printing test exercises the carriage, carriage belt, and carriage motor. During the test, the printer moves the carriage erratically and prints a pattern of characters using various fonts, qualities, and character cell sizes.
User's Guide 6-28 Solving Problems Checking the Platen The gap test prints a table of printhead gap values measured across and around the surface of the platen. From this table, you can verify platen parallelism and identify flaws, such as lumps, dents, or cracks, in the surface of the platen.
User's Guide Solving Problems 6-29 Using Hidden Parameters The Setup menu also contains hidden parameters that are only accessible by pressing a certain combination of control panel buttons. These parameters are hidden since they are set at the factory and there is seldom a need for printer operators to use them.
User's Guide 6-30 Solving Problems 52) PTOP: 0/60" Fine-Adjusting the Top-Of-Form Position PTOP lets you add or subtract an offset distance to the leading edge of the paper on initial load to force the top-of-form position up or down the page.
User's Guide Solving Problems 6-31 Fine-Adjusting the Carriage Home Position HOME lets you fine-adjust the carriage home position, which determines the location of the leftmost print position on a page. This parameter en- sures that the leftmost print position aligns exactly with the "0" mark on the paper scale.
User's Guide 6-32 Solving Problems Changing User Names UNAMS lets you rename each of the printer's five user names (that is, Usr 1 , Usr 2 , Usr 3 , Usr 4 , and Usr 5 ). You can change these default names to names that are more meaningful to your particular needs.

User's Guide Bottom-Feed Tractors A-1 AMT ACCEL-6310d and -6350d models include powered, bottom-feed tractors in addition to the rear-feed tractors. This appendix describes how to select a printer stand, activate the bottom-feed tractors, load paper, alternate between paper paths, and correct bottom-feed tractor problems.
User's Guide A-2 Bottom-Feed Tractors Selecting a Printer Stand You'll need a sturdy printer stand with a paper slot through which paper can be fed. The paper slot permits pin-feed paper to feed straight up from below the printer to the bottom-feed tractors.
User's Guide Bottom-Feed Tractors A-3 Accessing the Bottom-Feed T ractors There are pop-down supports on the bottom of the printer that extend to lift up the front of the printer.
User's Guide A-4 Bottom-Feed Tractors Loading Paper in the Bottom-Feed T ractors To load pin-feed paper into the bottom-feed forms tractors, use the following procedure: 1. Raise the front of the printer onto the pop-down supports. 2. Pull forward on the tractor locking levers so that the tractors can slide freely on the shafts.
User's Guide Bottom-Feed Tractors A-5 Using the Bottom-Feed T ractors With the bottom-feed tractors activated and paper loaded, you can use the bottom-feed tractors just like the rear-feed tractors. All of the printer's special paper handling features, such as demand document mode and paper parking, are fully supported.
User's Guide A-6 Bottom-Feed Tractors T roubleshooting If you experience a problem while using the bottom-feed forms tractors, consult the following table for assistance. This troubleshooting informa- tion pertains only to the bottom-feed forms tractors.

User's Guide Interfaces C-1 Interfaces This appendix describes the printer's parallel and serial interfaces, including voltages, signals and timing, cables and connectors, pin assign- ments, and parameters.
User's Guide C-2 Interfaces Signals and Timing The parallel interface consists of a data clock signal, eight data bit signals, two handshaking signals, two printer error signals, two printer control signals, two printer select signals, a power line, fifteen ground lines, and three lines that are not connected.
User's Guide Interfaces C-3 Printer Error Signals The printer uses two signals to notify the computer of printer errors: PAPER and ERROR-. PAPER goes high and ERROR- goes low when the printer has data to print but is out of paper. ERROR- also goes low when the printer is off-line or in an error state.
User's Guide C-4 Interfaces Power Line The printer provides a +5 volts dc power line to drive the logic of an external device. Ground Lines The printer provides fifteen ground lines consisting of a logic ground, chassis ground, and thirteen signal return grounds.
User's Guide Interfaces C-5 Setting Parallel Parameters Only two Setup menu parameters affect the parallel interface: INTRFACE and STROBE. For more information on these parameters, refer to the Control Panel section in this guide. Pin Assignments Table C-1 lists the parallel connector pin assignments and signal require- ments.

User's Guide C-8 Interfaces RS-232-C Serial Interface The serial interface conforms to the Electronics Industries Association (EIA) RS-232-C standard for serial communications. This standard describes a data transfer method between data terminal equipment (DTE) and data communications equipment (DCE).
User's Guide Interfaces C-9 Data Set Ready The Data Set Ready (DSR) signal indicates when DCE is turned on. If DSR is high, DCE is on; if DSR is low, DCE is off. Data Carrier Detect The Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signal indicates when DCE has estab- lished a link to a remove receiver.
User's Guide C-10 Interfaces Data Terminal Ready The Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal indicates when DTE must stop sending data and when it should continue. This stopping and starting (called handshaking) is necessary to prevent DCE's input buffer from overflowing.
