1.1

Product Overview

This printer

a durable, highly reliable dot matrix printer.

addition, it

has a small footprint, making it ideal for a compact workstation.

This printer uses a 24 pin print head to form a

24x9

dot matrix

character in draft mode.

letter quality mode, the matrix is

24x30.

Available are the complete Epson and IBM character sets as well

international character sets.

addition to Pica (10 characters per inch) and Elite (12 characters per

inch) printing, this printer can print in Micron mode of 15 characters per

inch, Compressed mode of 17 characters per inch and Elite compress-

mode of 20 characters per inch. Elite compressed mode yields a

total of 160 characters per line.

addition to the five print pitches mentioned above, this printer has

proportional spacing thus, six basic printing pitches are available.

The printer has

EZ Set Operator Panel through which the user can

select the most commonly used features and functions. The printeralso

has the MACRO memory function. This feature allows the printer to

easily save and recall a particular combinations of functions, even ifthe

power is turned off. Another of the printer's helpful features is the

QUIET mode which reduces printing noise.

As convenience features, the printer has MEMO LOAD, PERFORA-

TION CUT, and MICRO LINE FEED features. By using MEMO LOAD,

you can print a single sheet or envelope without removing or wasting

the continuous fanfold paper. PERFORATION CUT gives you the

ability to tearoff a form without wasting paper

and

still printwithin 1/3" of

the top of the paper. By using MICRO LINE FEED you can easily feed

the paper to the exact printing

pOSition

needed for preprinted forms.

Section 3 in this manual explains these functions.

The high speed printing is done at 192 characters per second (cps) in

Draft-Elite pitch.

Draft-Pica pitch, the printing speed is 160 cps.

Processing speed is increased by bidirectional printing. That is, the

printer prints right-to-Ieft as well as in the normalleft-to-right manner. A

logic seeking technique is also used, giving the printer a look-ahead

capability which allows it to skip blank spaces at the beginning and end

of a line and the blank lines.

Introduction

A wide variety of printing styles allows the user to create unique

documents and drawings. By combining fonts, pitches and enhance-

ment modes such as double height, double width, underline, etc., you

can create more than 5,500 different print styles. Using bit-mapped

graphics, the printer can produce special effects ranging from company

logos to photo-like images.

User adjustable Pull/Push type tractor feed and friction feed are both

standard on this printer. This allows the printer to accommodate both

continuous fanfold and single sheet paper, and is very useful when

printing

non-standard paper sizes such as mailing labels. In "push"

tractor mode, continuous forms can

torn without the need

skip a

form when advancing to the next one.

"pull" tractor mode,

continuous fanfold paper can be fed from beneath or from in front ofthe

printer.

The print head life is designed for 100 million characters. The seamless

fabric ribbon has an operating life of three million characters. The

ribbon cassette design makes changing the ribbon easy and clean.

This printer comes with a Centronics parallel interface. An RS-232C

serial interface is available as

option. This interface supports the

XON/XOFF and DTR handshaking protocols at baud rates upto 19,200

bps.

The printer comes equipped with

internal 6K buffer. An additional

32K buffer is available as an option which expands the total buffer size

to 38K. The entire buffer area

c~\O

used

a receiving buffer or a

portion can

used as a download font area. The buffer area

assignment is selected by EZ

~et

Operator panel operation.

For software compatibility, this printer has two command sets: Epson

LQ-2500 and IBM proprinter

X24.

Either set can

selected from the

EZ Set Operator panel. Refer to Section 3.3 in this manual.
