The software you use to enter and format your documents sends codes that run (or ‘drive”) your printer. These software codes select the font, margins, page size, line spacing, and other features of the document you are printing.
Non-Windows Software Programs Most application programs let you specify the type of printer you use so that the program can take full advantage of the printer's features.
If the printing results are not what you expect, see ‘Troubleshooting” in Chapter 3, or consult your computer or software manual. Software Tips Avoiding smudged pages When you print full resolution graphics (360 x 360 dpi), the result may have a slightly smudged appearance.
Reduce the maximum number of lines per page. Reduce the top and bottom margins in your software. Using fonts There are two sources for the fonts you use in your documents: internal and downloaded.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling Printing on Single Sheets ..................... . 2-2 Tips for using the paper cassette .............. . 2-2 Loading paper manually ................... . 2-4 Using Continuous Paper with Optional Push Tractor .... . 2-5 Installing the push tractor .
Printing on Single Sheets You can load standard-sized single sheets with the paper cassette and you can load single sheets of paper from 148 mm (5.8 inches) to 257 mm (10.
When you want to push the paper support back into the paper cassette, first remove paper from the paper cassette. Then push the paper support in while pushing down on the locking tab. The default page length for the paper cassette is 65 lines (A4-size paper) and 61 lines (letter-size paper).
Loading paper manually You can load single sheets of paper from the rear manual insertion slot. (If you have installed the optional push tractor, remove it before loading paper manually.) 1. Place the printer in the upright position and turn it on. 2.
You can adjust the top-of-form position for manual insertion in the same way as you do for single sheets of paper fed from the paper cassette. See "Changing the default settings” in Chapter 3. When you want to switch to the paper cassette, press the FF button without inserting a page into the rear slot.
2. Make sure the paper-release lever is lowered to the single-sheet position. 3. Hold the tractor as shown and fit the edges of both sides into the slots at the back of the printer. Then lift it straight up until you hear the unit snap into place. 4. Raise the paper-release lever and push it firmly into the continuous-paper position.
Loading continuous paper 1. Place the continuous paper supply below the printer so the paper feeds smoothly into the printer as shown. (You can also use a printer stand.) Caution: When you are using labels with the tractor, always put the paper supply &low the printer and have the printed pages feed out from the back of the printer.
4. 5. Adjust the right sprocket unit, aligning the paper edge with the arrow mark on the case, and lower the lock lever to lock it in place. Then slide the left sprocket unit to match the width of your paper, but do not lock it. Position the paper support midway between the two sprocket units.
6. Note that the printer prints on the underside of the paper. Make sure your paper has a clean, straight edge. Fit the first three holes of the paper over the sprocket pins, and then close the sprocket covers. Slide the left sprocket unit to remove any slack in the paper.
Each time you turn on the printer with paper loaded, it reverses the continuous paper to the paper-park position and then advances it to the next top of form. Always remove your printed sheets before you turn off the printer to keep the top-of-form position accurate.
Here’s how the tear-off feature works 1. When the printer finishes printing the last page, and the print head locates the top-of-form position on the next page, it automatically advances the paper to the tear-off position. 2. The READY 9 light blinks to indicate the printer is in the tear-off mode.
3. Lower the paper-release lever to the single-sheet position. Then pull the push tractor straight down and out of the printer. 4. Replace the paper guide.
Switching Between Continuous Paper and Single Sheets When you use the push tractor, you can easily switch to single-sheet printing without removing the continuous paper supply. Switching to single sheets Here is how to switch from continuous paper to single sheets: 1.
Caution: If you lower the paper-release lever while continuous paper is still loaded, the printer beeps and the READY light goes off. If this happens, raise the pap-release lever and press the FF and FONT buttons at the same time to reverse the paper to the paper-part position.
Printing on Special Paper In addition to printing on single sheets and continuous paper, your printer can print on a wide variety of other paper types, such as envelopes, labels, and multi-part forms. Adjusting the paper-thickness lever Before you print on special paper, you need to change the paper-thickness setting for the paper you are using.
2. Replace the cover. Envelopes You can use the manual insertion slot to print on individual envelopes. Before loading an envelope, set the paper-thickness lever to position 2 and lower the flap on the printer’s rear. Always load envelopes manually through the rear slot.
Caution: Printing on the edge of an envelope can damage the print head. Make sure your application program keeps the printing entirely within the printable area of the envelope.
Always set the paper-thickness lever to position 1. Never feed labels backward. They can easily peel off the backing and jam the printer. Because labels are especially sensitive to temperature and humidity, use them only under normal operating conditions.
Chapter 3 Using fhe Printer Operating the Control Panel ................... . 3-2 Indicator Lights ........................ . 3-2 Buttons ............................. . 3-3 Other control-panel features ................. . 3-4 Selecting Character Fonts .
Operating the Control Panel You can control the basic operations-form feed, paper loading and ejecting, and font selection-with the buttons on the control panel. The indicator lights help you monitor the printer’s status. lndicator lights The control panel lights provide information on certain printer conditions and settings.
When an error occurs, the READY light goes off. FONT The two font lights indicate the current font setting. These lights change when you press the FONT button. Look at the font menu on the control panel to determine which font is selected. For instructions on selecting fonts with the FONT button, see page 3-5.
PAPER PARK If you are using continuous paper, you can press the FF and FONT buttons at the same time to move the paper back to the paper-park position Never feed labels backward; they may peel off their backing sheet and damage the printer. Use the FF button to feed them forward.
Selecting Character Fonts To choose one of the resident fonts available with your printer, press the FONT button. The two font lights come on (0), go off (0), and flash (0) to indicate the current selection. The table below lists the resident fonts and shows how the font lights appear for each selection.
Using the Default-Setting Mode Your printer has internal settings that control such functions as top-of-form position and page length. These settings are called default settings because they take effect each time you turn on the printer. For most users, the factory settings are best, but you can change these settings if necessary.
Changing the default settings If you need to change default settings that cannot be changed by using your software program, you press the control panel buttons, and the control panel lights show your selections. Follow the steps below to make your changes: Note: You can repeat steps 5 through 7 if you want to make more than one change.
3. Press the FONT button until the FONT lights indicate the language of your choice; then press the FF button to make your selection. Once you press the FF button, the printer prints the current default settings and further instructions in the selected language.
See the following tables in this section. For example, if you want to change the character table, press the FONT button until the left FONT light is flashing and the right FONT light is on. 6. Press the FF button to change the setting. The READY light turns on or off to show your selection, as indicated above.
Once you press the FONT button, the printer advances to the next item in the previous table and your setting is saved automatically. The new setting remains in effect until you change it.
8. Turn off the printer to exit the default-setting mode. Any changes you have made remain in effect until you change them again. Default-setting features Character table Character tables contain the characters and symbols used in other languages. Your printer includes a wide variety of character tables.
Page length This option is only available when you use continuous paper with the optional push tractor. You can set the page length to 8.5, 11, 12, or 70/6 (A4) inches.
Graphic print direction You can choose unidirectional or bidirectional as the print direction for graphics. The printer usually prints text bidirectionally for fast printing and prints graphics unidirectionally for precise vertical alignment of print dots.
Once you select hex dump or demonstration, turn off the printer and wait five seconds. To enter the hex dump mode or print your selection, hold down both the FF and FONT buttons while you turn on the printer.
Replacing the ribbon cartridge When the printing becomes faint, you need to replace the ribbon cartridge. Epson recommends the following ribbon cartridge: so15060 blackribbon cartridge so15061 color ribbon cartridge Caution: If you have just used the printer, let the print head cool for a few minutes before you touch it.
Transporting the printer If you need to transport your printer some distance, carefully repack it using the original box and packing materials as described below: 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet; then disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
General problems the lights on the control panel do not come on. Check that the power cord is properly plugged into the electrical outlet If the electrical outlet is controlled by an outside switch or automatic timer, use a different outlet. Plug another electrical device into the outlet to determine whether the outlet is operating properly.
The READY light is flashing and nothing is printed. The printer may be out of paper Load paper in the printer. The printer sounds like it is printing, but nothing is printed. The ribbon cartridge may not be installed properly. See the section on ribbon installation in Chapter 1.
Printed characters have parts missing at the bottom. The ribbon cartridge may not be installed properly. See the section on ribbon installation in Chapter 1. The printout has a smudged appearance. You may be printing at too high a resolution. Select a lower resolution using your application software.
The typestyles or characters you selected with your software are not printed Check that the software is correctly configured for your printer. For instructions, see Chapter 1. The font selected on the control panel does not print. Your software may be overriding your control panel setting.
All the text is printed on the same line. Set the auto line feed to on in the default-setting mode so the printer adds a line-feed code to each carriage return. See “Changing the default settings” on page 3-7. The text is printed with extra blank lines between the lines of text Two line-feed signals are being sent.
Note: You can use hex dump mode to find the cause of communication problems. See page 3-13. If the printer still does not print correctly try the self test described in Chapter 1. If the self test works properly, the printer is all right and the problem probably lies in the computer, the software, or the cable.
The color ribbon angle may need adjusting. Move the color ribbon adjustment lever to change the ribbon angle slightly as shown below: Move the lever towards "+” to increase the angle, or towards "-” to decrease it. The ribbon is too much slack, or the colors in the ribbon may be bleeding slightly at the color borders.
The platen rotates but paper does not feed and the READY light flashes. The paper cassette is out of paper. Load paper in the cassette. Paper feeding from the paper cassette is crooked or the paper jams. Turn off the printer and pull out the paper. Remove the paper cassette and make sure the paper is properly loaded in the paper cassette.
When you send data or press the FF button, the push tractor does not feed the paper. Check that the paper-release lever is in the raised, continuous- paper position The paper has come off the push tractor. Reattach the paper to the push tractor. Paper feeding from the push tractor is crooked or the paper jams.
When you switch between single sheets and continuous paper, the beeper sounds several times and the READY light goes off. You have tried to change the paper-release lever position while paper remained in the printer. Return the paper-release lever to the previous position and eject paper (or feed paper to the paper-park position).
