APPENDIX E. LIST OF FEATURES APPENDIX F. CONNECTOR PIN CONFIGURATION APPENDIX G. STATUS SHEET GLOSSARY
ABOUT THE PRINTER INTERFACE
What this Printer Interface Can Do After you have the printer interface kit installed in your fax machine, you will be able to use the machine as a desktop printer for your personal computer. To ensure that the printer can be used with a wide range of application programs, emulation modes for three different printer types have been provided. These emulation modes are for: HP LaserJet IIIP (3/P/Si mode) Epson LQ Epson FX There is a slot for an optional font cartridge (for a HP compatible font cartridge) and a slot for an optional font card (for an Epson font card or HP plotter emulation mode card). The printer comes with 1 megabyte of memory, and you can add up to an extra 5 megabytes, making a possible total of 6 megabytes. If you need optional font cards or cartridges, obtain them from your computer store. The manufacturer of this fax machine does not supply these items, and cannot guarantee satisfactory operation of the machine with every font card and cartridge that is available. See Appendix D for more on optional font cards and cartridges.
Sharing the Printer with Two Computers Your printer has two different interfaces (these will be referred to as channels in this manual, because the printers software uses this term, or its abbreviation "CH"). There is a Centronics parallel channel and an RS-232C serial channel, and you can connect one PC to each. The RS-232C channel accepts data from a PC at high speeds up to 19,200 bps. The printer can automatically detect which channel data is coming in on, and data is printed on a first-in first-out basis. You can connect the printer to two computers at the same time, using both channels. This is known as Multi-user mode. There are two basic types of Multi-user mode; these are described on page 13. If you wish, you can allocate a different emulation mode to each channel, and different sets of printer settings. You can also allocate separate parts of the printers memory to each channel. See page 38 for details on how to share your printer between two computers.
Working with the Printer and the Fax Machine at the Same Time In a few cases, the machine can handle two tasks at the same time. The following tables show how to operate the machine while a job is currently in progress. 1. If you wish to print a file from the computer while the fax machine is busy
Current Task (Fax Machine) Immediate Transmission Memory Transmission Scanning a document and storing it to memory Receiving a fax message Printing a fax message from memory Making a copy Printing a File from the PC Not possible; wait until the machine has finished the current task. Possible; you can print your file immediately if you wish. Not possible; wait until the machine has finished the current task.
2. If you wish to use the fax machine (or if someone tries to send you a fax message) while you are printing a file from the computer

6. Put back covers [A] and [B]. 7. Plug in the machine, then turn on the power. Caution Do not plug in or switch on until everything is connected up.
Optional Font and Emulation Mode Cards See Appendix D for details on the types of font and emulation mode cards available, how to use them, and how to look after them. To install a card, do the following: 1. Make sure that the machine is in printer "Ready" mode and that it is off line (the indicator must be off). The indicator must be off. If it is flashing, the printer is receiving data. If it is lit but not flashing, press to print the data that is still in the buffer. Never insert a card if the printer is on line, or while you are making printer set tings (using Selectype mode), or while the printer is resetting. 2. Hold the card so that the makers logo is pointing up and the arrow is pointing to wards the slot. Make sure that the card is the correct way up. The card is slightly bent. Do not try to flatten it or bend it further. Do not touch the small gold contacts along the cards edge. 3. Carefully slide the card in to the slot. Do not force it into the slot. If REMOVE CARD appears on the display, you inserted the card when the printer was on line or when the printer memory contained some data. Remove the card and press. Then go back to step 1 of the installation procedure.
To take a card out of the slot, do the following: 1. Make sure that the machine is in printer "Ready" mode and that it is off line (the indicator must be off). The indicator must be off. If it is flashing, the printer is receiving data. If it is lit but not flashing, press to print the data that is still in the buffer. 2. Grasp the card at the center and gently pull it straight out of the slot. Never remove a card if the printer is on line, while making printer settings (using Selectype mode), or while the printer is resetting. If you remove a card while the printer is in one of these states, a REINSERT CARD message will appear on the display. An error will also occur if you remove a card while the indicator is on, even if the printer is off line. See the error message descriptions (page 44) for more details.
Optional Font Cartridges See Appendix D for details on the types of font cartridges available, how to use them, and how to look after them. To install a font cartridge, do the following: 1. Make sure that the machine is in printer "Ready" mode and that it is off line (the indicator must be off). The indicator must be off. If it is flashing, the printer is receiving data. If it is lit but not flashing, press to print the data that is still in the buffer. Never insert a font cartridge if the printer is on line, or while you are making printer settings (using Selectype mode), or while the printer is resetting.

HP LASERJET III EMULATION MODE
Your printer interface will be in this mode when it is delivered. When your printer is in this mode (also known as 3/P/Si mode), select one of the following drivers from your computer application softwares printer selection menu. HP LaserJet IIISi HP LaserJet IIIP HP LaserJet series III HP LaserJet IIP HP LaserJet series II HP LaserJet Plus HP LaserJet 500 HP LaserJet If none of the above printers is listed among your programs options, select any printer model that uses the HP Printer Command Language (PCL). For printing documents, HP LaserJet III mode is recommended. See Appendix B for the information on the difference between this machine and the II ISi, and for more information about the HP LaserJet III emulation mode.
EPSON LQ AND FX EMULATION MODES
When your printer is in Epson LQ or FX printer mode, select one of the following driv ers from your computer application softwares printer selection menu. LQ-2500, LQ-1050/850, LQ-1000/800 (expanded ESC/P), LQ-500, LQ-1500 (with version 2 ROM), LQ printer FX-1000/800 (286e/86e), FX-85, FX-80 If none of the above printers is listed among your programs options, choose the first available of the following: RX, Epson printer, Standard printer, Draft printer. For printing documents, FX-1000 mode is recommended. See Appendix C for more information about the Epson LQ and FX emulation modes.
CHANGING THE EMULATION MODE
If you use different printer modes with different application programs, you may have to switch emulation modes frequently. There are two ways to switch emulation mode: Using the Selectype Level 2 MODE ASSIGN feature (this must be performed on the printers operation panel using the procedure described below) Using an emulation control language - Using the MODE ASSIGN Feature Your printer has two channels, one serial (RS-232C) and one parallel (Centronics). You can select a different emulation mode for each of the channels. You can select one of three settings: 3/P/Si (HP emulation mode), LQ, or FX. If you install the Epson GL Identity card (see page D- 3 for more about this card), the EPSON GL choice is also available. To select an emulation mode, do the following. 1.
2. Hold down until Selectype Level 2 ap pears, as shown on the right, then release the key immediately. 3. Press 4. until MODE ASSIGN appears.
5. Press or to select the channel to adjust. In this example, we shall adjust the parallel channel (CH P should be displayed; to adjust the setting for the serial channel, CH S should be displayed; ignore the setting for CH O). 6. 7. Press or until you see the emulation mode that you need. Example: Epson LQ mode. 8. 9. Press three times to return to printer "Ready" mode. 10. Function

- Using an Emulation Control Language Two emulation control languages are available to change the emulation mode. Epson Job language (EJL) Printer Job Language (PJL) Procedures in these languages are done entirely from the computer; there is no need to be by the printer. This is useful if the printer is located some distance away from your computer. However, you need to be an experienced user to make the best use of these control languages, so some examples are given below. Epson Job Language (EJL) EJL allows you to switch your printer into any of the available emulation modes. To use EJL, make up one batch file and one text file for each emulation mode that you plan to use. ejlhp.bat, hp.txt: To switch the printer into HP LaserJet mode ejlfx.bat, fx.txt: To switch the printer into Epson FX mode ejllq.bat, lq.txt: To switch the printer into Epson LQ mode ejlgl.bat, gl.txt: To switch the printer into Epson GL mode (requires the Epson GL emulation card)
The basic format of each text file is as follows: <ESC> <SOH>@EJL ENTER LANGUAGE=[mode] Example: To switch to HP LaserJet III emulation mode. The text file hp.txt would be: <ESC> <SOH>@EJL ENTER LANGUAGE=LJ-3 Then, the batch file ejllq.bat would look like this: REM This batch file changes the printer to HP LaserJet III emulation. REM COPY HP.TXT LPT1: To create these files: - Creating the Text File Either: If you have Microsoft Windows, use Windows Write to create the text file. To create the <ESC> character, type Ctrl-[ (hold down the Ctrl key and press the left square bracket key). To create the <SOH> character, type Ctrl-A. Type the rest of the line: @EJL ENTER LANGUAGE=[mode] where [mode] is: LJ-3 for HP LaserJet III emulation LQ for Epson LQ emulation FX for Epson FX emulation GL for Epson GL Emulation Also, you can type PJL if you wish to use the Hewlett Packard Printer Job Language. Or: If you do not have Microsoft Windows, you have to use a BASIC language interpreter program and DOS Edit. Start QBASIC, the BASIC language interpreter that comes with MS-DOS. Type QBASIC and press Enter. Type in the following BASIC program: REM This program creates a text file for switching emulations input "Name the text file that you want to create"; n$ OPEN n$ FOR OUTPUT AS #1 PRINT #1, CHR$(27); CHR$(1); PRINT #1, "@EJL ENTER LANGUAGE=" CLOSE Save the program by selecting "Save As" in the File menu. Specify a file name.
Run the program. To do this, select "Start" in the Run menu. The program prompts you to name the text file. Then it will create the text file. Exit QBASIC by selecting "Exit" in the File menu. Use DOS Edit to add the appropriate mode parameter to the end of the file. LJ-3 for HP LaserJet III emulation LQ for Epson LQ emulation FX for Epson FX emulation GL for Epson GL Emulation For example, to switch to Epson LQ emulation, add LQ to the end of the file. <ESC><SOH>@EJL ENTER LANGUAGE=LQ Save the file by selecting "Save" in the File menu

- Creating the Batch File Use any DOS or Windows text editor. - Using a Batch File For example, whenever you wish to use EJL to switch the printer into HP LaserJet III mode, type ejlhp at the DOS command line, then press Enter. After this, the display on the printer will appear as follows:
Then, when you print a file from the computer, the printer will switch into HP LaserJet III mode and print the file. Note: If you are in Epson GL plotter emulation mode, you cannot use EJL to change to another emulation mode. You must use the MODE ASSIGN feature of Selec type Level 2.
Printer Job Language This emulates the HP LaserJet series III printers PJL feature. Some information on PJL commands is given in Appendix B. For full details, see an HP LaserJet III printer manual.
Selectype Mode (Printer Setup Mode - Function 35) Printer setup mode (also called Selectype mode) is divided into two levels of features. Level 1 contains commonly-used printing and font selection features. Level 2 contains printer mode and printer configuration adjustments that you may not wish to use so often. Note: In many cases, your application software will override the Selectype settings. If you are getting unexpected results, check your application software settings. To view the current settings of your printer, print the status sheet (see page 9). Note: Any changes that you make to the settings will be erased if you switch the power off, unless you save the new settings. To save your Level 1 settings, use the SAVE MACRO feature of the SYSTEM CONFIG menu (see page 31). To save your Level 2 settings, use the P-CONFIG SAVE feature (see page 41). Level 1 Features One of the following features appears in the display when you enter Level 1. Scroll through the list with the and keys until you see the feature that you need. INPUT: This feature has no effect on the printers operation; do not use it. PAGE SIZE: Use this to specify the size of paper that is being used. COPIES: Use this to select the number of copies to be printed. This setting is only effective for copies of documents output in printer interface mode. ORIENT.: Use this to select the printing orientation: portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal) FONT: Use this to select a font from those available in the current emulation mode. STATUS SHEET: Use this to print a list of the current printer settings. FONT SAMPLE: Use this to print the fonts that are available in the current emulation mode. SUB CONFIG.: This menu allows you to control settings within the current emulation mode that can be adjusted. SYSTEM CONFIG.: This menu contains routines for memory allocation, remaining memory space display, printer offset, and macros to store your Level 1 settings. S: P: This prompt asks you which channel you wish to adjust. This is only seen if you have set up both the serial and parallel channels using the Level 2 CH feature, and selected the Individual mode (see page 38).

Function.

Also, if you do not touch the machine for 4 minutes, the machine returns to standby mode automatically. Note: If you press Function while still in the middle of a procedure, your setting will not be stored (unless you pressed (SET) first). However, when you enter printer setup mode again, the display will take you immediately to where you were just before you left it. Also you may have to reset the machine on/off line.
SELECTYPE LEVEL 1 FEATURES
How to Enter Selectype Level 1 The procedure for entering Level 1 is as follows. If you have set your printer up in Autosense Multi-user mode: The changes that you make to the Level 1 settings will only be valid for the channel that is displayed on the screen to the right of READY just before you enter Selectype mode. 1. Make sure that the printer is in printer "Ready" mode. Note: If the machine is in fax standby mode, press Function
2. Press until the display is as shown on the right. Then release the key immediately. Note: If you press the key for too long, you will enter Level 2 mode. If so, press until you get to standby mode, then try again. If you have set the printer up in Individual Multi-user mode: The display on the right will now appear. Either: Press to select the serial channel. Go to step 3. Press to select the parallel channel. Go to step 3. Press to leave Level 1. 3. The display soon changes to show one of the Level 1 menu features. An example is shown on the right. 4. Press or until the feature that you want is displayed. If you change a Level 1 setting and want to keep it permanently (that is, if you do not want the machine to go back to the old setting when you switch the power off), save your current settings as a macro with the SAVE MACRO routine (see page 31), then make that macro the power-on macro with the POWERON MACRO routine (page 33).
Each of the Level 1 features is explained in the following pages. For a concise list of the features that are available in level 1, see page 21.
INPUT This feature is not used. PAGE SIZE Use this to select the paper size that you wish to print on. If your machine has more than one paper cassette, make sure that the cassette that you selected with Function 36 (see page 15) is loaded with this size of paper. Available Options: See your fax machines Operators Manual for the paper sizes you can use. However, do not use A5 paper. 1. Enter Level 1 mode (see page 26). 2. Press or until PAGE SIZE is displayed.
3. To change the current setting: 4. Press or played. until the required setting is dis -
Note: If you see " - - - - " on the right hand of the screen instead of ">SET", the printer cannot use the displayed paper size. The key will be ignored if you press it. 5. Store the displayed setting: 6. twice to return to printer "Ready" mode.
COPIES You can print up to 999 copies of your output. During printing, if you had previously se lected a number greater than one, the display will show how many copies have been completed so far during the print run. For example, if you set the COPIES feature to 10 and five copies have been printed so far, the display will show "5/10". Available Options: 1 to 999 1. Enter Level 1 mode (see page 26).

5. Store the displayed setting:
If you selected AUTOSENSE:
Select either AUTOSENSE P or AUTO SENSE S (ignore AUTOSENSE O). Press or until the correct setting is dis played. Press Then either: Press to store the new settings. The machine resets itself and returns to printer standby mode. Press to cancel your changes. Then go back to step 3 or press twice to return to printer "Ready" mode.
If you selected INDIVIDUAL:
You must now assign memory to each channel. Each channel that you are using needs at least 0.5 MB of memory. You must use 1.5 MB if the channel is using the GL emulation mode; this is available as an optional card. Please do not adjust the O setting. The value on the left of the screen shows you how much printer memory you have available in megabytes (or MB). The number to the right of each channel is the proportion of memory allocated to each channel. For example, if you specify S:1 P:1 O:0, both S and P channels will have half the memory each. If you specify S:2 P:1 O:0, the serial channel will have two thirds of the memory, and the P channel one third. Assign a value from 0 to 9 for each channel. Use the arrow buttons to choose the values.
Allocate the required memory proportion to the S channel. The value can only be from 0 to 9. Press or until the setting is correct. Then press. Do the same for the P channel. Ignore the O channel. Just press.
Then either: Press to cancel the new setting. Then go back to step 3 or press twice to return to printer "Ready" mode. Press to store the new setting. The machine resets itself and returns to printer "Ready" mode. CH TIMEOUT (Channel Timeout) This allows you to set the time for a channel timeout. If the printer is on line and re ceives no new data for the number of seconds specified, and if there is data in the other channel, the printer will automatically switch to the other channel. The factory set ting is 60 seconds. Available Options: 10 to 600 seconds (in steps of 10). 1. Enter Level 2 mode (see page 34). 2. Press or until CH TIMEOUT is displayed.
AUTO CONT (Auto Continue) When you switch this feature ON, the printer will continue printing after a certain period of time when one of the following error occurs: SET FULL PRINT, PAGE BUFFER FULL, PAPER SIZE ERROR, TRAY SET xxx, INSUFF MEMORY If this feature is OFF, you will have to press the button to continue printing.

PAPER JAM Paper is not being fed into the printer, or paper is jammed inside the machine. See your fax machines Operators Manual for information on how to clear paper jams. PAPER OUT There is no paper in the cassettes. Add paper. See your fax machines Operators Man ual for information on how to add paper. PAPER OUT {paper source} {paper size} There is no paper in the paper source from which the printer expects to feed paper. Load paper of the indicated size into the cassette.
PAPER SIZE ERROR The PAGE SIZE setting does not match the paper in the selected cassette. Press to clear the error. Then either load the correct size of paper in the cassette, or change the PAGE SIZE setting (see page 27 or use your application software). PRINTING The printer has received data and is printing. Please wait. PRINT STOP x/y The printer is pausing during a multi-copy printout. Please wait; printing should soon re sume automatically. x represents the current page number, and y shows the number of copies currently set in the COPIES setting (see page 27). READY: {x} {mode} The printer is ready to print. x shows the current printer channel and mode shows the current printer mode. This is the printer "Ready" mode. REINSERT CARD You may have removed a card while the indicator was still lit or while the printer was on line. To correct the error, make sure the printer is off line. Then reinsert the card or cartridge and press. REMOVE CARD You may have inserted a card/cartridge when the indicator was on or while the printer was on line. To correct this error, take the printer off line, then remove the card or cartridge, then press. Before you reinsert the card or cartridge, make sure that all the data in the buffer has been printed and that the printer is off line. If the indicator is on, press to print out the remaining data. RESET: {x} {mode} The printer has been reset to the settings stored in the macro number that is currently specified with the LOAD MACRO setting (see page 32). x shows the current printer channel and mode shows the current printer mode. SAVE MEMORY OVERFLOW This message may appear while you are trying to save a macro with the SAVE MACRO routine (see page 31). However, the printer does not have enough mem ory to store the macro. Delete any unused macros using the DELETE MACRO routine (see page 33), then repeat the SAVE MACRO routine. SERVICE REQ. xxxxx A controller or printer engine error has been detected. xxxxx is the error code. Write down the error code then switch off the printer. Turn the printer back on after a few sec onds. If the error message still appears, turn off the printer and unplug it, then call your service representative.

SET FULL PRINT This message may appear when you are trying to print a page that contains graphics. Pressing may clear the problem and allow you to continue printing. However, if the message appears often, you should increase the FULL PRINT setting (see page 29). STARTUP ERROR If this message appears when you turn on the printer, the power may have been switched off while the printer was performing a save operation. To clear the error, press to return the printer to its factory default settings. WAIT appears while the re set is in progress. TONER LOW The toner has almost run out. When this message first appears, you can only print 25 more pages from the computer before you have to replace the toner cartridge. How ever, the machine can print up to 100 more pages of incoming fax messages. TONER OUT The toner cartridge must be replaced. See your fax machines Operators Manual for in formation on how to add fresh toner. TRAY SET {paper source} {paper size} The PAGE SIZE setting (see page 27) does not match the paper in the specified pap er source. Either change the PAGE SIZE setting, or load the correct paper size. Press to print the page when you have corrected the problem. WAIT The printer is being reset after a startup error. Please wait.

PRINTING PROBLEMS

The printer does not print, or stops printing The (on-line/off-line) indicator is on, but nothing is printed Check that both ends of the cable from the computer to the printer are plugged in se curely. Check that you are using the correct type of cable to meet the specifications of your computer and your printer. You may not have selected the correct I/F CONFIG settings (see page 35). See your computer manual for the correct settings for your computer. The software may not be installed for your printer correctly. Use the programs setup or install procedure to check the printer settings on your computers display. Also, make sure that your printers emulation mode is set up correctly (see page 16). If the Night Timer feature on the fax machine is switched on, nothing can be printed. To release the Night Timer, press the Function key twice. Then you can print. Note that the Night Timer is not reinstated after the end of printing. The (on-line/off-line) indicator is off The printer is off line. Press once to make the printer come on line. The tor should light up.

indica-

PAPER OUT or TONER OUT is displayed Replace the paper or toner. See your fax machines Operators Manual for the cor rect procedure. The printout is not what you expected The font you selected with software commands cannot be printed The correct orientation (portrait or landscape) may not have been selected. Make sure that the orientation matches the selected font. The font that you selected with your software package may not be available. Check that you have installed the correct font card or cartridge. Characters not belonging to the symbol set are being printed The expected symbol may not be available in the printer. Be sure that you have in stalled the correct font card or cartridge. The correct symbol set may not have been selected. Specify the desired symbol set (containing international characters and symbols) with your software, or use a Selec type procedure (see SYMSET on page B- 7, and COUNTRY and CGTABLE on page C-4). The symbol sets that are available depend o n the emulation mode that you have selected.

All the text has been printed on the same line, or the text is overprinting itself on the same line
Line feed commands are not being sent at the end of each line of text. If you are us ing the parallel channel, you may be able to correct the problem by switching AUT OFEED on (see page 35). Some software packages will allow sending line feed commands in the setup.
Text is printed with an extra blank line even after you set AUTO LF to OFF Your computer may be sending the extra line feed command. Ask your service repre sentative to disable the AUTOFEED signal on your cable. Some or all of the output is garbled or printed as asterisks The cable may not be plugged in completely. Check both ends. The I/F CONFIG settings may not be set up correctly to match your computer. Your computer and your printer must use the same settings if you are using the serial channel. Check your computer manual, and adjust the I/F CONFIG settings (see page 35). Use the data dump mode (see page 53) to check the data that is being sent from the computer.
The position of the printout is not what you expected The printed page differs from the actual length of the paper Your software may be overriding the printers Selectype settings. Check the page length setting in the application software setup. The Selectype form length setting may not be correct. See FORM on page B- 7 and TEXT on page C- 4. The procedure depends on the emulation mod e that you are us ing. The left or right margin setting does not match the actual paper width The margin settings of your application software may not be correct. Check the soft wares settings. Use Selectype to change the left and right margin settings. This can only be done if you are using an Epson emulation mode. In HP LaserJet mode, you have to send the appropriate commands from your computer. There is some more information on this in Appendix B, but you may need a Hewlett-Packard reference manual for this. Even after changing the page length or margin positions, the printed position is not correct Try adjusting the T-OFFSET and L-OFFSET settings (see page 30).
The printer prints a page and then stops The display reads PAPER SIZE ERROR and the indicator blinks You have selected the wrong paper size with your application software. You may be trying to use a paper size that your printer cannot handle. Check your fax machines specifications to see what paper sizes it can handle. The P-SIZE setting may not match your paper size. Either: If the indicator is out, press to clear the error. Then change the P-SIZE setting (see page 27) if necessary. If the indicator is on, check the current P-SIZE setting (see page 27) and put some paper of the same size in the cassette. If the P-SIZE setting is incorrect, press to reset the printer, then change the P-SIZE setting. Caution: When you reset the printer, any remaining data that was sent from the computer will be lost. If you continue to print using paper that is smaller than the paper size set with your software, toner may accumulate inside the machine and dam age the master unit. Make sure that your software and P-SIZE settings match the paper size in the cassette. If AUTO CONT is on, a paper size error is detected but cleared automatically and printing continues. There fore, to avoid damage to your printer, keep AUTO CONT set to OFF (see page 41).

After selecting the font, you can adjust the character spacing and font size with the PITCH and CONDENSED settings in the SUB CONFIG menu. When the machine is in an Epson emulation mode, you can download fonts to the machine in the same man ner as you would download to an Epson printer.
SUB CONFIG. The SUB CONFIG. is a menu within Selectype Level 1. It contains these features. PITCH: Use this to select a character pitch of 10, 12, or 15 characters per inch (cpi), or proportional spacing (PROP). A setting of 10 provides more space between char acters, and 15 provides less.
CONDENSED: Use this to change the character spacing. Condensed printing is use ful for spreadsheets and other applications where you need to fit a lot of information on each line. Fonts with a pitch of 15 cpi cannot be condensed. L-MARGIN: Use this to set the left margin. Margin units are determined by the cur rent pitch (cpi) and the condensed setting (on or off). The factory setting is 0.
If you select proportional, 10 cpi and condensed determine the margin units. If you change the setting of ORIENT, PAGE SIZE, or WIDE PAGE (when PAGE SIZE is set to A4 [8.3" x 11.7"]), the left margin defaults to 0.
R-MARGIN: Use this to set the right margin. Margin units are determined by the cur rent pitch (cpi) and the condensed setting (on or off). The factory setting is 80.
If you select proportional, 10 cpi and condensed determine the margin units. If you change the setting of ORIENT, PAGE SIZE, or WIDE PAGE (when PAGE SIZE is set to A4 [8.3" x 11.7"]), the right margin defaults to the following setting.
Paper Size Condensed A4 A4-80 col Letter Legal OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON 10 cpi Portrait 12 cpi Landscape 12 cpi 162 270

15 cpi 120 120

10 cpi 135 231

15 cpi 167

157 202
FORM TOP: Use this to specify the distance from the top of the sheet to the base line of the first printable line. The factory setting is 0.5 inch [12.7 mm]. Available Options: 0.5 to 1.5 inches [12.7 to 38.1 mm] in increments of 0.05 inch [0.127 mm]. TEXT: Use this to set the page length. The unit of measurement for this setting is 1/6 inch [4.2 mm]. The factory setting is 66 (6 lines per inch, 2.4 lines per cm).
If you change the ORIENT, PAGE SIZE, or FORM TOP settings, the form length set ting automatically returns to the default setting for the paper size.

Caring for Cards Observe the following precautions. Do not drop, crush, or bend cards. The cards natural curvature does not affect its operation, so do not try to straighten a card by bending it. Avoid touching the small gold contacts on the cards edge. If the card gets dirty, clean the connectors by wiping the edge with a clean tissue. Do not use water, alcohol, or other solvents. Keep the cards in their cases and anti-static bags when you are not using them. Do not store cards in direct sunlight or near a source of heat. Font cards can with stand temperatures ranging from -30 to 65 C (-20 to 150 F), and can tolerate up to 90% humidity. Be careful when you insert and remove a card. You can damage it by attempting to insert it the wrong way or by using too much force. Follow the procedures on page 11 when inserting or removing a card. Using Font Cards - Selecting a font with your application software When the printer is in 3/P/Si (HP LaserJet) mode, you can use your application soft ware to select the fonts you wish to use. First, be sure to select HP LaserJet IIIP or a similar printer from the programs installation or printer selection menu. For a list of the printer types that you can specify with your software, see pages 16 and 17. After you set up your application software, you can specify the fonts you need to use from within the program. If your program does not provide commands that allow you to select the font you need, you can use the FONT feature (see pages B- 5 and C-2) or you can use printer com mand sequences (see pages B- 21 and C-8). - Selecting a font with the Selectype FONT procedure Using Selectype, you can only select one font for the entire document , whereas appli cation packages often allow you to select more than one font within the same docu ment. Only those fonts designed for the currently selected orientation (portrait or landscape) will appear on the display. You can use the SAVE MACRO routine to store the font setting if you wish to have a font from a font card as the default font.
When the printer is in 3/P/Si mode: The FONT procedure displays the currently selected font source (RD [resident], A [card slot], C [cartridge slot], or DL [downloaded]). To select the font card slot, select font source A. Then select the required font number. The font that you want may not be available if it does not contain the currently se lected symbol set. For best results, select the appropriate symbol set with the SYM SET routine (see page B- 7), then choose the font. When the printer is in LQ or FX mode: You do not need to specify the font source. The fonts on the card that are available will appear on the display along with the resident fonts. - Using a font card and a font cartridge at the same time This will give you a wider range of fonts in 3/P/Si mode. The printer adjusts the font numbers in the cartridge by adding them to the total number of fonts on the card in the card slot. Then you can select from the full range of fonts as if you had a single font card, with the fonts numbered from 0 up to the total number of fonts contained on both the card and the cartridge. For example, if the fonts on the font card are numbered from 0 to 4 and the fonts in the font cartridge are also numbered from 0 to 4, the fonts on the card will be numbered from 0 to 4, and the numbers of fonts on the cartridge will start from 5. All these fonts will appear on the A source in the FONT procedure. The FONT procedure for 3/P/Si mode is on page B- 5. Using the Epson GL Emulation Mode Card The Epson GL card adds the Epson GL mode to your list of possible emulation modes. Epson GL mode emulates the HP7475A/7440A plotter. Observe the following guidelines when using the optional Epson GL card: You must allocate at least 1.5 megabytes (MB) of RAM for the channel that will use Epson GL mode. This means that you will have to add at least 0.5 MB of RAM to your printer before you can use GL mode. If you are using GL mode on the serial (S) channel with the CH feature set to AUTO SENSE: a) The power-on default channel becomes the serial channel, b) The serial channel cannot receive any data while another channel is receiving data, c) You can only select the serial channel when the indicator is off.

Recovering from a Card Error When the display shows one of the following error messages, a card error has oc curred: REINSERT CARD, ILLEGAL CARD #x, REMOVE CARD, CARDMEMORY OVERFLOW, INSUFF.MEMORY This type of error occurs if you insert or remove a font card when the printer is on line or when the printers memory contains data. You cannot use the font card or print any thing until you correct the error. See the Error Message section starting on page 44 for how to deal with these errors.

FONT CARTRIDGES

The printer interface has one slot for an optional cartridge. Available Font Cartridges While the printer is in 3/P/Si (HP LaserJet) emulation mode, a wide range of font car tridges can be used to supplement the printers resident fonts. The manual for each cartridge contains samples of the fonts and symbol sets provided. Each cartridge contains several fonts. Some of the fonts on these cartridges may be duplicates of resident fonts in the printer. You can use the font cartridges shown in the table on the following page.
