The control panel The control panel with its keys is used for controlling your work with the printer. The control panel is located on the front left side of your printer and consists of a two-line LC display and six keys. The functions of the keys depend on the printer’s current mode (status).
➤ The LC display The LC display tells you all the important printer settings and informs you which functions are currently assigned to which keys. In Normal mode the upper line tells you the printer.
➤ Online mode After switching on, the printer is automatically set to online mode. Only in this mode it can receive data from the computer. Tear key (4): Activates the tear function when fanfold paper is loaded (see Moving the paper to the tear position ).
➤ Offline mode Only in this mode it is possible to perform step, line, or form feeds from the control panel (see Paper transport ); however, data cannot be received. Park key (1): Clears the paper path with paper loaded and activates paper path quick selection (see Changing the paper type ).
➤ Setup mode In this mode, the following settings are available: Setup key: Sets the printer to setup mode, in which the following settings can be selected: Menu key (1): Other menu settings. Adjust key (2): Setting the tear position, first printing line and print head gap.
➤ Messages in the LC display If the printer detects an internal fault or user error or if it expects you to do something, a message will appear in the LC display. Below you will find a list of messages with brief descriptions of each message. The messages are described in greater detail in the chapter Troubleshooting .
➤ Key functions when turning on the printer You can activate one of the functions below by keeping the correspond- ing key or key combination pressed while turning on the printer: If you keep the Online key depressed while turning on the printer, you enter the printer’s Self-Test mode.
Changing the ribbon cassette The ribbon consists of a dense synthetic fabric saturated with ink. When printing, the needles hit the ribbon and transfer the ink particles on to the paper. After printing several million characters, the ink is consumed and the fabric worn out.
Cautiously slide the print head carriage to the left stop (viewed from the printer front). Raise the printer bar cover. The print head becomes hot during print- ing.
Remove the used cassette. Turn the coloured ribbon feed knob at the right of the new ribbon cassette in the direction of the arrow in order to take up slack of the ribbon.
Slightly tilt the ribbon cassette forwards in such a way that it is parallel to the housing top and thread in the ribbon in front of the print head. Locate the two projections in the left and right guide rails of the prin- ter and gently press down on both sides until it clicks into place.
Use the knob on the right side of the cassette to take up slack of the ribbon again. Thereby the ribbon will slide over the plastic noses on the left and right of the print head into the correct positon.

Emulations ➤ General When a printer understands the control set written for another printer type, it is said to emulate the other printer. Your printer emulates, i.
➤ What are escape sequences? Generally, an escape sequence consists of an ESCape control character (ESC = decimal 27 or hexadecimal 1B) f ol low ed by one or more charac- ters, which represent commands to the printer. Pl e a s e n o t e t h a t t h i s escape character has nothing to do with the ESC key on your computer keyboard.
The $$ procedure Most of the printer functions can be selected with control sequences (ESC sequences). For this purpose, the signal character ESC, followed by the specific sequence must be transmitted from the computer to the printer.
➤ How are escape sequences used? Escape sequences are transmitted to the printer by your computer soft- ware. Many software applications allow insertion of escape sequences and control codes within the generated text. Before you start working with escape sequences and control codes, we recommend that you study the computer software manual.
MTPL As the emulations do not cover the entire scope of your printer, a new printer language has been created. Using MTPL you are able to optimize operation and handling.
Example in Pascal program cpi_example; uses printer; const ESC = #27; Text1 = “10 characters/inch”; Text2 = “15 characters/inch”; begin writeln(lst,Esc,"[4w",Text1,ESC,"[6w",Text2,Esc,"[4w",Text1); end.
➤ List of available control codes The following table shows sequences marked by a ✓ if they are available in the various emulations. The MTPL sequences can be used within all emulation modes.

➤ US Postnet Barcode Postnet is a special US-American type of barcode. It is printed in charac- ter size. Numeric values from 0 to 9 are printable. After activating this barcode type, numeric characters from 0 (hex. 30) to 9 (hex. 39) are interpreted as barcode figures.
➤ LC printing Certain professional applications may require unusually large character sizes. Therefore your printer has the possibility of scaling standard size characters up to factor 99 by means of control sequences (LCP*) . US ASCII and German The printout of LCP characters can be selected in all of the emula- tions.
➤ List of additional command codes You can use both the ESC sequences and the control codes. Sequences Control codes Function <ESC>[?10~ — Barcode Off <ESC>[?11~ — Barcode On <ESC.
Header Function <DLE> [!] nn EM LCP header [ ] = optional nn = factor <SUB> [F] a [nn][;xyz][;p] EM Barcode header [ ] = optional a = Barcode type p = 0: Barcode horizontal p = 9: Barcode vertical Additional information is provided in the Barcode Programmer’s Application Manual on this CD-ROM.
➤ Configuring the printer for your computer Due to the great number of applications available on the market today, we cannot give you detailed help for every program. Therefore please refer to your software manuals for how to install your printer with your programs.
Character sets This chapter shows the MTPL character sets and contains a list of all available character sets which can be selected via control panel or by escape sequences.

Interfaces Your matrix printer offers the possibility of operating either via a parallel or via a optional serial interface. This appendix informs you about the parallel Centronics compatible interface and the serial interface type RS232C/V.24 and describes the communication between your computer and the printer.
Connector no. Direction Printer– P C Signal 1 ← STROBE (active low) 2 ← DATA 1 3 ← DATA 2 4 ← DATA 3 5 ← DATA 4 6 ← DATA 5 7 ← DATA 6 8 ← DATA 7 9 ← DATA 8 1 0 → ACK (active low).

➤ Serial interface V.24/RS232C Your printer’s serial interface supports the RS232C specification. The signals are received and transmitted by a 9 pin connector. Basically 3 lines are already enough for exchanging information between computer and printer (one receive line, one send line, one line for com- mon grounding).

Buffer Serial Baud Format 1) This menu option is only displayed if either ENQ/STX, ETX/ACK or ACK/NAK proto- col is active.
ENQ/STX protocol In addition to this XON/XOFF message, the possibility exists of re- questing a status byte from the printer using the ENQ code (hex. 05, dec. 5). The STX code (hex 02, dec. 2) is used to clear any error messages (parity error, buffer overflow).
ETX/ACK protocol ETX (hex03) Block end character ACK (hex06) Acknowledgement informing the host that further data may be transmitted. XON/XOFF This protocol is used in addition to data flow control and printer status handling. HandThr.=ON An ETX is not acknowledged by ACK before all previous- ly arrived data have been printed.
HandThr.=OFF The STX, ENQ, ETX, DEL characters are filtered out from the data stream at the interface and used for control. XON/XOFF control is not available with the ACK/NAK protocol.
Add entry to the AUTOEXEC.BAT To use the serial interface of your PC, you must add the following mode commands to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file: mode com1:9600,n,8,1,p mode lpt1:= com1: This mode command is only necessary when data is not to be trans- mitted directly to COM1 or another serial interface.
