default set of features; otherwise the printer might accidentallyprint using features set for a previous job. These codes willoverride panel or menu settings. Check your word processor's manualto see if you can customize the initialization string; if so,remove any codes that interfere with your printer'ssettings.The I-Prime signal is sent over the parallelinterface (pin 31) and will automatically override any settings youhave made using the front panel buttons. To eliminate this problem,go into the Menu Select Mode and change the I-Prime item toInvalid. This will cause the printer to ignore the I-Primesignal.... the FONT and PITCH buttons won't work?The Operator Panel Functions item on theprinter menu can be used to disable these buttons. If the printeris part of a customized system or if it is used by a number ofpeople, the system manager may have used this option to make surethe printer is always set properly.... none of the lights in the FONT indicator on the front panel are lit?The lights in the FONT indicator on the frontpanel all go out when the printer is operating in the utility mode.The lights will come on again as soon as you select an LQfont.... I want to check the data my computer is sending to the printer?Use the hexadecimal dump mode. To enterthis mode, hold the SELECT and TOF/PARK buttons down while youswitch on the printer. All data sent to the printer, including textand printer commands, will print in both hexadecimal and ASCIIformat. (In the ASCII format, all non-printable codes will berepresented by a period.) For example, this line of BASICcode:LPRINT CHR$(27);"0";CHR$(30);"This is an example of a hexadecimal dump."would print like this:art sak2-1To return to normal printing, switch the printer off, then on again.... static electricity causes the paper to stick?In cold, dry weather, static charges can build up on continuous-form paper. This can make the papercling to the paper separator. If you have this problem during high-volume printing jobs, try moving thesingle sheet paper guides on the separator together so that the paper rests on the guides rather than onthe separator itself.ML 380 ( 96-02-03 )
