** Fonts selected in the default-setting mode correspond to Others

on the control panel. The following additional fonts are available

only by pressing the Font button on the control panel: Draft,

Roman, Sans Serif, Courier, Prestige, and Script.

*** These settings are effective only when IBM 2390 Plus emulation

is selected.

Changing the Default Settings

Follow the steps below to enter the default-setting mode and

change the printer’s default settings.

Note:

To print the language selection sheet and the default-

setting mode instruction sheets, you need four sheets

of A4 or letter size single-sheet paper or 11-inch or

longer continuous paper.

If you use single-sheet paper to print the default-setting

mode instruction sheets, be sure to load a new sheet of

paper each time the printer ejects a printed sheet.

Otherwise, you cannot proceed to the next step.

1. Make sure paper is loaded, then turn off the printer. While

holding down the

Font

button, press the

Operate

button

to turn on the printer. The printer enters the default-setting

mode and prints the language selection sheet.

2. Press the

Font

button until the

Font

lights indicate the

language you want, as described on the language selection

sheet.

3. Press the

Tear Off/Bin

button to print the default-setting

mode instruction sheets (three pages) in the language you

want.

Note:

The arrows on the instruction sheets indicate the

printer's current settings.

4. Press the

Font

button until the

Font

lights indicate the

option you want to change, as described on the default-

setting mode instruction sheets.

5. Press the

Tear Off/Bin

button until the

Condensed

and

Tear Off/Bin

lights indicate the setting you want, as

described on the instruction sheets.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to make any other settings you want.

Each time you press the

Tear Off/Bin

button, the printer

saves the settings you selected.

7. When you finish changing the settings, press the

Operate

button to turn off the printer and exit the default-setting

mode.

Using Quiet Mode

In quiet mode, the printer makes less noise when it prints.

However, printing in quiet mode reduces the printing speed.

To turn on quiet mode, hold down the

Font

and

Condensed

buttons and press the

Operate

button to turn on the printer.

To turn off quiet mode, press the

Operate

button to turn off

the printer.

Printing a Self Test

Running the printer’s self test helps you determine whether

the problem comes from the printer or the computer:

❏ If the self test results are satisfactory, the printer is working

properly and the problem is probably caused by your printer

driver settings, application settings, computer, or interface

cable. (Be sure to use a shielded interface cable.)

❏ If the self test does not print properly, there is a problem

with the printer.

You can run the self test with either single sheets or

continuous paper. This section describes how to run the test

with single-sheet paper.

To perform a self test, follow these steps:

1. Make sure paper is loaded in the paper guide or on the

tractor, and the paper release lever is set to the correct

position for your paper. Then turn off the printer.

Caution:

Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five

seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may

damage the printer.

2. To run the test using the Draft font, hold down the

LF/FF

button while you press the

Operate

button to turn on the

printer. To run the test using the printer’s letter-quality

fonts, hold down the

Load/Eject

button while you turn on

the printer. Either self test can help you determine the source

of your printing problem; however, the draft self test prints

faster than the letter-quality test.

After a few seconds, the printer loads the paper

automatically, and then begins printing the self test. A series

of characters is printed.

Note:

To temporarily stop the self test, press the Pause

button. To resume the test, press the Pause button

again.
