twice to print the status sheet. A sample printout is

shown below.

Note: The status sheet prints the printer’s current settings, including

any new macro settings.

Data Dump Mode

Data dump mode is a special feature that makes it easy for

experienced users to find the cause of communication problems

between the printer and computer. The data dump mode produces

an exact printout of the codes reaching the printer.

Make sure that the printer is loaded with paper and turned off.

Hold down the

SelecType

button while you turn

the printer.

Make sure you hold the button down until

the message

HEX

DUMP appears on the display.

Run any program that causes the printer to print (either an

application program or a program written in any programming

language). Your printer prints out all of the codes sent to it in

hexadecimal format as shown in the sample below.

Choosing a Paper Size

The factory paper-size setting is set to letter. Whenever possible, use

your application software settings to choose the paper size you

require for your print job. If you cannot select the paper size with

your application program, you can use the SelecType Level 1 P-SIZE

option.

You need to choose the paper size (preferably with your software) if

you use a paper other than letter size and:

you use manual feeding

you install the multi-media feeder

you return to letter-size printing after using another paper size.

The table below lists all the paper sizes on the SelecType menu.

Note:

Paper feeding and print quality are usually best with regular

paper.

Paper feeding is possible, although print quality cannot be

guaranteed, with other types of media.

To print on letterhead paper, load the paper face down with the

top of the paper entering the printer first.

To automatically load various types of media into the printer,

use the optional multi-media feeder. See Appendix A.
