GENERAL INFORMATION

Welcome to anew dimension in computing. Because you bought the

Commodore VIC printer, you've added agreat deal of versitility and

convenience to the use of your Commodore computer. This manual contains all

the information you need to check out, hook up, and operate your printer, but

in order to get the most out of your computer system you should continue to

look at both your computer's User's Guide and Programmer's Reference Manual.

Your VIC printer is designed to operate through software control. That means

you have to make the printer's operation part of aprogram. For example the

VIC-20 has aTYPEWRITER cartridge that comes in the VIC SIX-PACK. It's

designed to operate the printer by holding down the SHIFT key and pressing

the f/1 Yellow Function Key.

The VIC Printer prints both capital and small letters, numbers, and all the

graphic characters available on your computer. It will even print custom made

graphics and charts that you design on your VIC-20 or Commodore 64. In

addition your printer has avariety of built-in functions of its own. This is

because your printer has its own computer inside.

The advantages of this internal computer are 1) it automatically resets all its

switches to the starting sequence every time you turn the printer on; 2) it

contains its own internal memory which means that you can store information

to be printed directly in the printer without using up your computer's memory.

Your printer is designed to connect directly into your computer through the

Serial Port (6-pins). However, you can connect your printer to as many as 5VIC

disk drives by daisy-chaining. Daisy-chaining means connecting 1peripheral to

your computer and any additional peripherals plug into the Serial Port of the

last item connected.

Select printer device number, "4" is the normal

position for one printer. "5" is the position to use

with your second printer. "T" is the self-diagnostic

test position.

Use your cover to protect your printer from dust

and to reduce the noise level while the printer is in

operation.

f. Paper Advance Dial

g. Fuse

After loading your paper properly (see Section 2,

part 3) the Tractor Mechanism should be snapped

closed to hold the paper in place. Tractor holes on

the edges of the paper must line up with the pins

of the Tractor Mechanism.

Once you have properly threaded your paper, you

can use the Paper Feed Dial to move the paper

ahead, 1line at atime in the forward direction

only!

The Fuse is located on the underside of the printer.

It is rated at 0.5 Afor 117V version, 0.25A for

220/240V version. If you turn on your printer

and it does not work, then turn the printer off

and check the fuse.

a. Use the enclosed connecting cable to connect the printer to

your computer. Plug one end of the 6-pin connector cable into

the 6-hole Serial Port on your computer. Plug the other end of

the 6-pin connector into the 6-hole connector of your printer.

If you are facing the back of the printer, the connector hole is

in the lower left (see figure 1.2).

b. Select the device number

1.6 Device Selector Switch

Just as your computer has different character modes, so does

your printer. To choose either the GRAPHICS/UPPER CASE

or UPPER CASE/LOWER CASE mode, you must assign a

SECONDARY ADDRESS (SA) so that the printer prints in

the same mode that you've chosen for your computer. The

secondary address can either be or 7.

SA =0: "CURSOR UP" (graphics/upper case) Mode

SA =7: "CURSOR DOWN" (upper case/lower case) Mode

If there is an error in your program that pertains to printer

operation, your printer will stop printing and the appropriate

error message will appear on the screen of your computer.

User defined machine language IRQ routines should not ex-

ceed 10 milliseconds.

If this is done, the printer may give "Device not present" error.

Section 2:

PREPARING TO USE YOUR PRINTER

1. Installation

Please follow the precautions listed below when setting up your printer.

These measures are designed to help you keep your printer functioning at

its best.

*Place your printer on aflat and level surface, like atabletop.

*Avoid placing your printer in rooms with high humidity.

*Keep your printer as dust-free as possible.

*Keep your printer out of direct sunlight.

*Avoid placing your printer through extreme temperature

changes.

2. Installing the Ribbon Cassette

a. Find the packet that contains the ribbon cassette. You should have

received this packet in the same box that your printer came in.

b. Remove the ribbon cassette from the packet and place it carefully in

front of you.

c. Look at the cassette. You will notice that one side has aflat surface

while the other side has little tabs sticking out. Place the cassette so

that the tabs are closest to you.

d. Now place the ribbon cassette on the same surface as your printer.

Place the cassette so that it is between you and your printer, making

sure that the tabs are still closest to you.

e. Remove the clear printer cover from the top of your printer.

fNow look at the drawings (2.1) shown on the next page. As you can

see, you should install the ribbon cassette on the right side of your

printer first. Be sure to install the right half of the cassette on the

right side of the printer (location 0).

g' Lift both parts of the cassette up to the printer. Notice that the

silver ribbon holders in the printer have holes drilled into them.

These correspond to apin located on the bottom of each half of

the cassette.
