3.0 OPERATION
3.1 AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT INSERTION
Insertion procedures may be configured to satisfy varied applications.
(See Printer
Parameters in 3.6.1). This description first explains a basic insertion sequence and then
describes variations.
1. Place the document under the clear plastic guide and gently push the left edge of the
document against the edge of the document guide.
2. Slide the document forward until it contacts the feed rollers which will automatically
move the document to the first printable line.
3. Printing can now commence. After printing is complete the document may be ejected.
Step 2 may be configured so that the rollers do not activate for a few seconds or until the
A key is pressed. This allows more time to insert cumbersome documents or to train
new operators.
Printers with the auto alignment feature should be configured for no delay. Documents
should be inserted toward the left edge guide and rollers, then quickly released to allow
them to automatically align. Auto alignment may be disabled for an individual document by
pressing the FUNCT key before insertion. See 3.6.5 to configure auto alignment.
Step 2 may be configured to move the document down to the last (bottommost) printable
line.
Step 3 may be configured to delay printing until the ENTER key is pressed. This allows
the operator to insure that the document has inserted correctly. If not, it may be EJECTed
and reinserted.
3.2 SEMI-AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT INSERTION
If delay printing until the ENTER key is pressed has been configured, the document can be positioned to
begin printing at a specific place:
1. Proceed with steps 1 and 2 of the automatic insertion procedure.
2. Use the
A and
B keys to align the center of the desired print line with the front edge of the metal guide
above the document.
3. Press the ENTER key. The desired print line will be automatically positioned in front of the printhead and
printing can now begin.
4. After printing is complete the document may be ejected.
When Configuration 12 is selected in 94 FUNCT, pressing ENTER before document insertion allows keypad
entry of the number of lines to be fed before printing begins.
3.3 RIBBON CARTRIDGE LOADING/REPLACEMENT
The DP6 cartridge (Part# 99059) is compatible with the NEC P2200 cartridge. Its drive knob is on the right
side of the cartridge. The DP7 cartridge (Part # 99073) is compatible with the Panasonic KX-P155. Its drive
knob is in the center of the cartridge. The useful life of cartridges from various suppliers may vary greatly and
some may be too heavily reinked for document printing applications. The reinker in some DP7 cartridges
must be manually engaged by removing a clip or pressing a spring when printing becomes light. Do not
engage the reinker until printing becomes light or else printing will become too dark.
