1 P P r r i i n n t t e e r r P P r r e e s s e e n n t t a a t t i i o o n n This dot - matrix printer is a multi - purpose printer for counter applications. Its compact structure is designed to be integrated in an ergonomic environment. The printer provides a high level of reliability, form - handling accuracy and data integrity.
2 • Automatic document alignment feature The printer checks automatically the alignment of the top margin and the left margin of the document and adjusts it, if necessary. The printout is therefore performed co rrectly independently from the paper loading position.
3 U U n n p p a a c c k k i i n n g g t t h h e e P P r r i i n n t t e e r r Together with the printer the following items are included in the shipment box: Notify any damage to your supplier. • Paper stand • Ribbon cartridge • Power cable • CD - ROM with the printer documentation and drivers.

13 3. Hold th e ribbon cartridge slightly inclined with the ribbon mask in front of the print head. 4. Insert the ribbon cartridge into the print head carriage, leading the cartridge pins into the fixing guides. In this way you assure the correct ribbon mask position in front of the print head.
14 P P a a p p e e r r H H a a n n d d l l i i n n g g This printer is designed for versatile an reliable paper handling. The flat - bed mechanism allows the handling of special documents , such as multiple invoices, postcards, labels and tickets.
15 When inserting the paper into the printer, keep the following points in mind: • The document may not exceed the limits of the paper stand. Left Limit Right Limit • The documents having a width of at least 90 mm must be inserted on the left hand side over th e grooved area on the paper stand.
16 • To load the documents having a width of less than 90 mm: − make sure that in the program menu the MANUAL LOADING item is enabled . − hold the paper against the left paper guide of the paper.
17 L L o o a a d d i i n n g g F F a a n n f f o o l l d d P P a a p p e e r r The fanfold paper is loaded form the rear of the printer. 1. Lower the two levers of the rear printer cover and unhook it from the printer. 2. Unhook the right tractor moving the tractor lever towards the outside of the printer.
18 3. Open the two tractor covers. 4. Insert the perforation of the fanfold paper on the left paper tractor. Close the tractor door. Insert the paper on the right paper tractor and close the tractor door. The leading edge of the inserted paper should not exceed the tractors.
19 Make sure, that the paper is inserted correctly (straight). 5. Move the right paper tractor towards the right to slightly tighten the paper. Lock the tractor in that position moving the tractor lever towards the inside of the printer. Make sure, that the paper is not too taught, otherwise it may tear.
20 T T h h e e O O p p e e r r a a t t o o r r P P a a n n e e l l The operator panel is located on the front left side of the printer and is composed of function keys and leds with which you can easi.
21 LOAD PARK If the paper path is empty, the fanfold paper is loaded into the printer ( LOAD function). This function is performed when the printer is o nline or offline.
22 PROGRAM Selects one of t he available configurations ( P1 , P2 , P3 and P4 or a configuration couple P1/P3 or P2/P4 ) if the PROGRAM LOCKED parameter is not enabled. This key is active, when the printer is offline or when the printer is online and no print data are in the buffer.
23 L L e e d d s s POWER On, if the printer is powered on. LQ On, if the Letter Quality mode is selected. P1, P2, P3, P4 Indicate the currently select ed configuration both in normal printing mode and during the Printer Setup procedure. See “ Printer Setup ” later in this section.
