19 DAIL Y OPERATION Introduction This chapter describes how to use the “everyday” features of the FormsPro 4000 se Series printers . The items covered are: Control Panel Features – describes the most commonly used features of the printer’s contr ol panel.
DAILY OPERATION 20 Control Panel Features This section assumes that your printer has already been installed according to the information in “ Installation and Interface Setup ”, and describes th e daily operation of the FormsPro 4000 se series printers.
DAILY OPERATION 21 LCD Display and Indicators LCD Display This two line by sixteen - character disp lay is used to convey several types of information. When the printer is on line and printing, or ready to print, the display will show the currently selected tractor path and the form currently loaded in that path.
DAILY OPERATION 22 Control Panel Buttons ONLINE This button allows you to place the printer online or offline, as indicated by the ONLINE indicator, and as t emporarily displayed on the two line by sixteen character display. It is also used for starting and stopping the test pattern while the printer is in the Barber Pole mode.
DAILY OPERATION 23 UNLOAD / FORM SELECT If paper is currently loaded (no paper out condition exists), this button unloads the paper and places the top edge of the paper in the tractors in the base of the unit. This allows you to change the paper easily.
DAILY OPERATION 24 parked and secured whenever the printer is being transported. ALIGN ih These buttons will access the horizontal and vertical print adjustment settings for the currently selected form. When either ALIGN button is pressed, the horizontal adjustment is shown first.
DAILY OPERATION 25 Selecting And Loading Forms Note: A form is not considered “loaded” by merely placing the form in the tractors. To prevent printing on the wrong form, the printer must be made aware of what form(s) are currently loaded.
DAILY OPERATION 26 Continue to press the UNLOAD/FORM SELECT button until the desired for m name is shown on the top line of the display. When the desired form is displayed press the LOAD/FORM FEED button. The form name will be FORM 0 through FORM 9 or the actual name of the form if the name has been set in Setup.
DAILY OPERATION 27 3. While pulling out on this panel, lift the front of the printer to expose the paper tractors. The top of the unit will support itself in the up position while you load paper. Caution: Do not open the unit in this fashion while the printer is printing or forms are loaded.
DAILY OPERATION 28 paths, proceed to step 4 on the following page. You can position the other tractor paths for loading without closing the printer's case. To load another tractor path : 1. P ress the UNLOAD/FORM SELECT button on the front panel until the desired form and tractor path is indicated on the LCD display.
DAILY OPERATION 29 FormsPro 4503 se w ith Forms in All Tractor Paths Center Path Positioned for Loading 4. Close the case of the printer by lowering it until the lower front panel closes.
DAILY OPERATION 30 4. Then press the LOAD/FORM FEED button. The tractors will move to the specified path (if necessary) and position the top of the selected form at the tear bar.
DAILY OPERATION 31 Bottom of form at tear bar If your form is positioned as shown, you may skip the next section on positioning and proceed with “Tearing off a Form” on the next page.
DAILY OPERATION 32 Tearing off a form 3. Place the printer back on line with the ONLINE button (indicator changes to green). The form will automatically be pulled down into p osition for printing the next time the printer receives data to be printed.
DAILY OPERATION 33 Installing A New Ribbon Cartridge Removing the Old Ribbon Cartridge 1. Open the ribbon lid on top of the printer and position the print head for ribbon loading by lifting the ribbon loading handle as indicated in the following picture.
DAILY OPERATION 34 Installing the New Ribbon Cartridge Note: The use of Printek brand ribbons is recommended for increased ribbon life and print head life. The use of only Printek brand ribbons is required for the extended print head warr anty. For details, see “ Why Use Only Printek Brand Ribbons ” in the “GETTING STARTED” chapter.
DAILY OPERATION 35 Ribbon Cartridge Installation 3. Lower the ribbon loading bail as shown below. This automatically places the ribbon betwe en the ribbon guides and the print head as the print head is placed back into the printing position.
DAILY OPERATION 36 Aligning Print When a new form is loaded into the printer for the first time , it may be necessary to a djust where printing begins.
DAILY OPERATION 37 MOVE Down/Up PRINT 0.00” × The VALUE buttons will move the print down or up in 1/100 th inch increments. Note again that the arrow will change accordin g to the direction the print is to be moved from the normal print position. The maximum distance print may be moved is 9.
DAILY OPERATION 38 MOVE Down/Up PRINT 0.08” ↓ Now when the form is printed again, the text will be printed in the box as shown here. 12345.
DAILY OPERATION 39 Common Error Conditions Whenever the printer detects an error condition, it will automatically go off li ne. User correctable errors are “flashed” on the display. These errors can typically be recovered from without loss of data and are listed in this section of the manual.
DAILY OPERATION 40 Too Much Paper to Unload This error occurs when the UNLOAD button has been pressed and there is paper present too far beyond the tear bar. This error serves as a war ning that you may be placing forms that have already been printed on back into the printer.
DAILY OPERATION 41 Other Errors If other errors occur, it is possible that they may not be resolved without the aid of a factory trained service technician.
