Taking Care Of Y our Prin ter 23 T aking Care Of Y our Printer Your prin ter will prod uce high qual ity print job s if it is well taken care of. Period ic cleanin g, handling th e printer p roperly, and using the co rrect print er supplie s, such as paper and r ibbons, wil l ensure op timum perfor mance.
24 Chapter 1 Print er Overview Output Control Depending on the activ e emulation, the p rinters hav e the followin g output control features: • Four mode s for printing text: 1. Correspon dence (H igh Density) 2. Data Proc essing (DP) ( Standard Dens ity) 3.
Graphics Options 25 Graphics Options The PGL an d QMS emulatio ns allow you to create and sto re forms; ge nerate logos, b ar codes, and e xpanded cha racters; and cr eate other grap hics. Alphanum erics and bar code data a r e added as the form is print ed.
26 Chapter 1 Print er Overview Line Matrix Printing Your prin ter is an impa ct printer ; it creates c haracters by pri nting ink do ts on paper. The dots are prin ted on an inv isible matrix m apped in printe r memory (see Figure 2). Dot i mpressions are m ade by an ar ray of steel ha mmers mounted on a rapidly os cillating shu ttle.
Printi ng Sp eed 27 After a lin e of characters is pri nted, the paper ad vances to the fi rst dot row of the next p rint line. This creates a num ber of blank rows between line s of charac ters, depend ing on the pr int mode and l ine spacing y ou sele cted.
28 Chapter 1 LineJet Pr int Server LineJet Print Server The LineJet Prin t Server allows yo u to attach printe rs on a local area network (LAN) rat her than attac hing them dire ctly to a host s ystem.
Print S erver Interfac e 29 Print Serve r Interface The LineJ et Print Server interface ca rd at the rear of the printer h as two indicat or lights and t wo dipswitch es, as shown in Figure 4.

The NET LED fl ashes off for 1/3 s econd when a data pack et is being trans ferred. When the N ET LED is off, the n etwork conne ction has be en severe d.
31 2 Downloading Function Code In LineJet Printers Introduction Downloadi ng the functio n code is eq uivalent to updating firmwar e in the printer. Thi s chapter explains how to load functio n code into L ineJet printers .
32 Chapter 2 Introduction Prep ara tion For Downloading There are s everal functi on code file s available f or the LineJet printers. Th e file you use depends on the model n umber of the printer and the printer e mulation in use. The latest version of fun ction code includes softw are trouble r eport fixes an d may con tain addition al features.
Preparation For Dow nloading 33 Copying Functi on Code T o Y our Computer In order to download fun ction code to a printer if using a serial or par allel port, the fun ction code file must resi de in .
34 Chapter 2 Loading Function Code To Flash Memory In The Print er Loading Functi on Code T o Flash Memory In The Printer This sec tion contai ns two loadin g techniq ues: • How to load function co de through the par allel or serial port of th e printer.
