Setting Up Your LX-90 ™ Printer Setting up your LX-90 printer is easy, even if you’ve never used a printer before. By following the instructions in this manual, you’ll have your new printer ready to go in just a few minutes.
Where to Place Your Printer Now that your printer is unpacked, you need to find the best place to put it. Keep the following tips in mind: l Place the printer close enough to the computer for the PIC cable to reach between them. l Place the printer on a stable surface.
Many types of printer stands are available; the previous illustration shows one type. The next illustration shows a setup that does not require a stand. These are only two examples; you can use any arrangement that allows you to put the paper underneath or behind the printer.
To install or replace the ribbon, just follow these steps: Caution If you’ve been using your printer just before you change rib- bon cassettes, be careful not to touch the print head because it becomes hot during use. Also remember never to move the ribbon carriage manually when the printer is turned on, because you may damage your printer.
5. Snap the cassette into place so that the exposed ribbon fits between the print head and the silver ribbon guide. 6. Now turn the knob on the cassette in the direction of the arrow to tighten the ribbon. As you turn the knob, make sure the ribbon slips down into its proper place between the print head and the silver ribbon guide.
Hold the cartridge with the grooved side facing down. Insert the cartridge into the opening and press gently to secure the connection. Do not connect the PIC cable to your computer yet.
With the paper feed knob in place, you’re now ready to load paper into your printer. If you plan to use continuous paper, read the next two sections.
Make sure that the printer is turned off; then open the front lid. Move the print head to the center of the printer, and pull the paper bail away from the platen (the black roller). Using the illustration below as your guide, pull the locking levers forward so that you can move the pin feed holders to the left and right.
Open the pin feed covers as shown on the previous page and feed the paper under the paper separator and into the paper slot. Push the paper through until it comes up between the ribbon guide and the platen.
If you are using a word processing or other applications program and your printing is too high or too low on the page, change your top of page setting.
Loading Single-Sheet Paper 1. First, make sure that the printer is turned OFF. Open the front lid, push the friction lever back, and pull the paper bail forward. 2. Now slide the ribbon carriage manually to the center of the printer and feed the paper into the paper slot in the top of the printer as shown below.
Replacing the Tractor Unit Replacing the tractor after you have removed it is easy. Pull the friction lever on the left side of the printer toward you, and hold the tractor with the gears to the right as shown below.
Maintenance To keep your LX-90 working like new, always keep it in a safe and clean place. Keep it away from dust, grease, and any heat sources. A safe temperature range is 41°F to 95°F. To clean the outside of the printer case, use a soft, clean cloth damp- ened with clear water.
