Printed information The information printed by the Super12 Document Printer is defined
during installation.
The Super12 Document Printer prints up to 12 lines per document.
Each line can be a maximum of 12 characters, consisting of as many as
three of the following items:
• Document image address
• Day of the week
• Date
• Time
• Roll number, if applicable
• Total document count
• Messages 1–9
The same information may be printed on documents of all levels, or
different information may be printed on documents of different levels.
The information printed by the Super12 Document Printer always
appears in rows parallel to the leading edge of the document(s) as
shown:
Document travels
through transport
Orientation — information is printed on each document in Comic
orientation.
Font — only one font is available for the Super12 Document Printer.
IMPORTANT:
The Super12 Document Printer allows you to print only
up to line 15 (relative to the print template, which is used
in conjunction with print position to determine distance
of the printed information from the leading edge of the
document).

Changing the print
location and print
position
The location of the information you want printed on a document is
determined by the print location of the Super12 Document Printer and
the pre-defined print position.
Print Location
The Super12 Document Printer can be placed in one of six available
locations across the transport plate. The orientation of the printer when
in position 1, 2 or 3 is different than when the printer is in position 4, 5
or 6.
NOTE: Before you change print locations, remove the plastic strips
covering the print locations you want to print in. The plastic
strips cover the print locations on both the transport plate and
the belt module (not shown in this illustration). Plastic strips
should be left in place for any unused locations.

To remove the plastic strips from a print location:
1. Open the front cover of the scanner.
2. Lift the printer from the printer bracket and place it on the hanger
bracket to keep it out of the way.
CAUTION: Hot surface, avoid contact.
NOTE:Be sure the flex cable is placed between the two hooks so it
does not get damaged.
3. Remove the plastic strips from any print locations (on the transport
plate) that you will be printing in.
4. Lift the transport plate and remove the belt module.

5. Remove the plastic strips from the desired print locations from the
underside of the belt module. The print locations that you remove
the plastic strips from should correspond with the strips you
removed from the transport plate.
NOTE:Verify that the maintenance tray is in place before
continuing. If the maintenance tray is not in place, see
“Replacing the maintenance tray” for more information.
6. Replace the belt module.
7. Lower the transport plate.
8. Lift the printer from the hanger bracket, rotate it 180°if necessary,
and place it into the desired print location. The printer is firmly in
place if you cannot slide the printer from its location.
NOTE:If you are rotating the Super12 Document Printer, be careful
not to twist or strain the flex cable.
9. When finished, close the front cover.

Print Position
The print position specifies how far from the leading edge (fed into the
transport first) of the document the information will be printed. The
default print position is defined at installation.
You can temporarily change the default print position by using function
code F46. The new print position will be used to print information until
function code F02 (Restore Mode) is used to return the starting print
position to its original value (provided mode overrides are not saved), or
until function code F46 is used again to change the print position(s).
NOTES:
• Restore Mode (F02) restores all initial printer settings, except the
print contrast setting and print alignment.
• The print position should be carefully calculated. Make sure to set
the print position close enough to the leading edge of the document
so the printed information is not truncated before reaching the
trailing edge of the document.

Enabling/disabling
the Super12
Document Printer
Make sure the Super12 Document Printer is enabled before feeding
documents.
• The Super12 Document Printer may be enabled/disabled separately
at the mode level using function code F43.
• If you have enabled the Super12 Document Printer, but do not want
to print on the next document fed into the transport, you may omit
printing on the next document only by entering function code F44.
• During normal operation or a print test, the operator interface panel
will beep when the Super12 Printer has reached the capped or print
position. The beep occurs approximately 5 seconds after pressing
Run or Stop.
IMPORTANT:
Whenever Run or Stop is pressed, the Super12
Document Printer moves to a capped or print
position. The capped position covers the print
cartridges to keep them from drying out.
When Run is pressed, the message, E133 Feeder
waiting for printer will be displayed. When the
message clears and the scanner beeps, the printer
has moved into the print position.
When Stop is pressed, wait for the beep to sound
before opening the front door or turning off power,
so the printer has time to move into the capped
position
.

Function codes The information printed by the Super12 Document Printer is defined
during installation.
Individual modes are defined for use with specific applications. If a
Super12 Document Printer has been installed, some or all modes may
allow use of the Super12 Document Printer. In addition, the customer-
specified information to be printed is defined for each mode.
The Super12 Document Printer provides easy installation and cleaning
of two print cartridges for 12-character printing. In addition to these
features, the following functions can be used:
• F39 Variable print contrast setting — allows you to increase or
decrease the amount of ink put on the document.
• F45 Print testing capability before use — allows you to test the print
quality of the Super12 Document Printer.
• F48 Auto-purging with no operator intervention — allows you to
initiate an automatic purging of the print heads. This function can be
done when the transport is off.
• F49 Print image alignment — allows you to specify how far to move
the left half of an image up or down on the document so it will align
with the right half of the image.
• F56 Open jet/connection detection — allows you to determine
whether or not there are nonfunctional ink jets in the Super12
Document Printer. Also checks the print head(s) connection to the
flex cable to assure the print heads(s) are installed properly.
F39 — Changing the print
contrast To change the print contrast setting:
1. Enter function code F39.
2. Press Enter. The current contrast setting will be displayed.
3. Press the up (↑) arrow to increment, or press the down (↓) arrow to
decrement the displayed value. Incremental values are: 12, 25, 37,
50, 62, 75, 87 and 100%.
NOTE:High contrast levels may cause ink smear on some types of
documents.
4. Press Enter to save the value.

F45 — Verifying print
quality Perform the following procedure to verify the print quality is satisfactory:
1. Enter function code F45 (Print Test) and press Enter.
2. Press 2(Test Pattern). The transport starts automatically.
3. Feed a blank sheet of paper; a test pattern will be printed.
4. Evaluate the appearance of the test pattern. A complete test
pattern should look similar to the following illustration:
• If the pattern is complete, begin work.
• If the pattern is not legible:
◊ Check to see that the print cartridges are inserted properly.
See the section entitled, “Installing a new print cartridge” for
more information.
◊ Perform function code F48 (Purge function) to help unclog
the print head jet openings.
◊ Repeat the print test.
5. Press 1and verify your current mode image looks acceptable.
NOTES:
• If you select a blank print template or the No Print Template
option (depending on the specific mode you are printing in), then
the selection of 1, Current Mode Image, may print nothing.
• Print Test Pattern always prints with 100% contrast.
• The Mode Image prints with the specified contrast setting (F39).
