1-3 Overview Character F ormation The P9012 printer generates characters by assembling groups of dots in matrices. Dots overlap to produce a solid appearing character (Figure 1-1). Dot impressions are made by an assem Ć bly of 88 hammers installed on an oscillating shuttle. The hammers impact the paper through a moving ink ribbon. Horizontal shutt[...]

2-1 Operation CHAPTER 2 OPERA TION Operation F eatures On Line The P9012 printer functions either on line" or off 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 prin[...]

Operation 2-2 Yo u can also define and download an international language to allow any character within the character library to be substituted for any code. Similarly, an individual character in a font, or an entire set of characters, can be created and placed in a font. These downloading features are discussed in more detail in the P rogramming c[...]

Operation 2-6 The ENTER switch must be enabled (unlocked) before making configuration or format changes. Simultaneously pressing MENU UP and MENU DOWN alternately locks and unĆ locks the ENTER switch. (This sequence protects against accidental reconfiguration.) R esetĆ ting the printer or turning the power off and on will lock the ENTER switch. N[...]

2-7 Operation Loading P aper The P9012 printer uses standard fanfold paper from 3 to 16 inches wide and 15 to 100 lb bond (0.025 inches thick maximum). T o load paper, perform the following steps and refer to Figure 2-2. 1. Place the printer off line and raise the printer cover. 2. F ully raise the F orms Thickness A djustment L ever (A).
