Operation 2 – 2 Basic Operation Features On Line The printer functions either “ on line ” or “ of f line. ” When on line, the printer is capable of receiving data and control commands from the host computer . The message display on the printer control panel indicates that the printer is on line and shows the current print mode.
2 – 3 Operation Power Switch On pedestal model printers (P3040 and P3040 – 12), the AC power switch is located on the rear panel of the printer . The floor cabinet model (P3240) power switch is located at the lower left corner of the rear panel. (Refer to Figure 2 – 1.
Operation 2 – 4 Control Panel Switches and Indicators The printer control panels contain twelve momentary – contact switches (16 switches if the printer has the PI – 3287 option), four Light –.
2 – 5 Operation ON LINE Switch Press this switch to place the printer alternately on line or of f line. When the printer is on line, the ON LINE LED lights.
Operation 2 – 6 P APER ADV Switch Momentarily press this switch to advance the paper one line, or press and hold the switch to advance to the top – of – form of the next page. This switch can be configured to advance the paper only after print - ing any data remaining in the buf fer , or to move paper without printing.
2 – 7 Operation NOTE: When the printer is off line, configuration menus and parameter values may be viewed at any time. T o make any configuration changes , you must first unlock the ENTER switch fr om the OFFLINE READY display . The ENTER switch cannot be unlocked or locked fr om within a menu.
Operation 2 – 8 • Barcode 145 at 12.1 cpi • Barcode 160 at 13.3 cpi NOTE: Print mode contr ol fr om the host computer overrides the contr ol panel setting. F/L Switch The F/L (Forms Length switch functions only with the printer of f line. Press F/L to enter the Forms Length menus.
2 – 9 Operation Loading Paper The printer uses standard fanfold paper from 3 to 16 inches wide (perforation to perforation) and 15 to 100 lb. bond (0.025 inches thick maximum). T o load paper , perform the following steps and refer to Figure 2 – 3.
Operation 2 – 10 Figure 2 – 3. Loading Paper.
2 – 11 Operation Unloading Paper 1. Place the printer of f line. 2. T ear off the paper at the slot at the bottom of the printer . 3. Fully raise the Forms Thickness Adjustment Lever . 4. Open both tractor gates and remove the paper from the tractor sprockets.
Operation 2 – 12 Figure 2 – 4. Ribbon Replacement 8. Press CLEAR (on the control panel) to clear the PLA TEN OPEN fault condition. 9. Close the top cover and place the printer on line. Setting T op – Of – Form To p – of – form determines where the first line of print will appear and is set when paper is loaded.
2 – 13 Operation There are two methods of setting top – of – form. The first method uses forwar d paper motion and is per - formed with the Forms Thickness Adjustment Lever closed. The second method uses r everse paper motion and is performed with the Forms Thickness Adjustment Lever open.
Operation 2 – 14 Setting T op – of – Form – Reverse Paper Motion NOTE: Do not use this method of setting top – of – form for heavy forms or peel – off label forms. 1. Place the printer of f line and raise the printer cover . 2. Move the Forms Thickness Adjustment Lever to the fully open position.
2 – 15 Operation NOTE: If the paper is not stacking pr operly , check the following items in addition to those listed in step 3: 1. If printing occurs acr oss the paper perforations, the paper may not stack corr ectly . Ad - just the Skip – Over Perforation configuration parameter to eliminate printing acr oss the paper perforations.
Operation 2 – 16 6. Simultaneously press MENU UP and MENU DOWN to lock the printer configuration. 7. Set the top – of – form according to the instructions on page 2 – 12. T o Set Forms Length in Lines 1. Press NEXT V ALUE or PREV V ALUE until FORMS LENGTH SET IN 6 LPI LINES or FORMS LENGTH SET IN 8 LPI LINES displays.

4 – 3 Graphics The relationship of ASCII character , decimal value, and Bit Image plot is shown in Figure 4 – 3. • The data bytes can be identified by their binary , octal, hexadecimal, or decimal equivalents. These values are used to generate the Bit Image pattern.
Graphics 4 – 4 • Control code ESC Y selects the Double Speed, Double Density Mode. When the Double Density , Double Speed control code is received, the data will print at dou - ble the current horizontal dot density , but adjacent dots are not printed.
4 – 5 Graphics • The maximum number of data bytes in the DA T A portion of the program statement (when using 132 – column paper) varies according to the operating mode: At 60 dpi, Single Density = 792 bytes; Double Density = 1584 bytes Quadruple Density = 3168 bytes • Data in excess of the right mar gin is discarded.
Graphics 4 – 6 In Normal Density Plot : • The mode is selected with the odd dot plot control code ENQ (05 hex). • The odd – numbered dot columns are addressed to produce a horizontal and verti.
4 – 7 Graphics Plot Data Byte Format In P – Series Plot Mode, the format is as follows: • Each data byte specifies six out of twelve dot columns.
Graphics 4 – 8 Plot Data Line Format A plot data line may contain any number of plot data bytes up to the maximum of 132 for horizontal dot density of 60 dpi (Data Processing mode) or 198 bytes for a horizontal dot density of 90 dpi (Corre - spondence mode).
4 – 9 Graphics DOUBLE DENSITY PLOT For double density plot, the plot line contains: Control Code 04 hex, plot data bytes, a Line T erminator (0A hex or 0C hex), Control Code 05 hex, plot data bytes, and a Line T erminator . The control sequence for sending P – Series Double Density Plot is as follows: 1.
Graphics 4 – 10 The following program uses the Odd Dot Plot control code to produce the image. 10 LPRINT “ Odd Dot Plot ” 20 FOR I=1 T O 8 30 READ R1 40 READ R2 50 LPRINT CHR$(5); 60 FOR N=1 T O.

Graphics 4 – 12 T o Exit the P – Series Plot Mode When returning to the print mode from the P – Series Plot Mode, include an extra line feed in the data stream to maintain proper print line registration relative to the last line of plot graphics.
5 – 1 V ertical Format Units CHAPTER 5 VERTICAL FORMA T UNITS Introduction The P3000 Series printers includes two vertical format units: Printr onix standard Electronic V ertical Format Unit (EVFU) and Dataproducts Direct Access V ertical Format Unit (DVFU).
V ertical Format Units 5 – 2 VFU Load/Save/Clear Save one VFU table at a time in Non – V olatile Memory (NVM). The VFU table format is: VFU type, LPI, and VFU channel data. Load – Upon printer powerup or printer reset, a previously saved VFU loads if the saved VFU table matches the VFU type (see page 3 – 16).
5 – 3 V ertical Format Units Channel 12 – Reserved as the V ertical T ab channel. The V ertical T ab code (VT , 0B hex) prints any data in the print buf fer and rapidly slews the paper to the next line identified by the channel 12 code. If chan - nel 12 is not loaded in the EVFU memory , a single line feed is executed when a VT code is sent.
V ertical Format Units 5 – 4 T able 5 – 1. P – Series EVFU Codes – PI Line Enabled ASCII Channel Hex 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 6E PI 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1.

V ertical Format Units 5 – 6 Relative Line Slewing Another method of moving paper using the PI line results in vertical slews of a specified number of lines within the form relative to the current print line (rather than slewing to a specific line).
5 – 7 V ertical Format Units DVFU The DVFU may be selected in P – Series protocol and is generally used in conjunction with the Dataproducts interface. A maximum of 12 channels can be assigned to each physical line of a form — up to 143 lines. A channel number is assigned to each line on the form.
V ertical Format Units 5 – 8 CH 12 BOF – The last channel 12 loaded is used as the Bottom – of – Form (BOF) channel and has sig - nificance when using the printer skip – over perforation feature. When skip – over perforation is en- abled, paper skips from BOF to T OF only if at the BOF position.
5 – 9 V ertical Format Units T able 5 – 5. DVFU Channel Instruction ASCII Channel Hex 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B PI 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X.
V ertical Format Units 5 – 10 The Slew Relative configuration and the status of data bits 1 through 4 determine the number of lines slewed as described in T able 5 – 6. (Note that the state of data bit 5 is the dif ference between line slew - ing and using the interface lines as DVFU channel codes.
5 – 11 V ertical Format Units V ertical T ab Positions V ertical tab positions are assigned to a line number . A maximum of 16 vertical tab positions can be assigned on the form.
V ertical Format Units 5 – 12.
