Using the Option Cartridges
When installing an option cartridge, you must turn the power OFF,
plug in the cartridge, then turn the power ON again so that the printer
acknowledges that an option cartridge has been installed.
WARNING
Do not install or remove an option cartridge while the power
is ON, because you may damage the printer. Always turn the
power OFF when installing or removing an option cartridge.
With the cartridge installed, the printer reacts to the command set
contained in the
identity module.
(For specific information on com-
mands, see the instructions packaged with the identity module). To
return to the LQ’s built-in command set, turn the power OFF remove
the cartridge and turn the power ON again.
For typestyle selection, the identity module may have a DIP switch
that allows you to choose which typestyle will be in effect when you
turn on the printer-either the LQ’s built-in typestyle, or the font
module typestyle.
Whichever default typestyle you select, you can still switch
between the LQ’s built-in typestyle and the font module typestyle by
using the control panel buttons or ESCape codes. See the instructions
packaged with the option cartridges for further information on the
DIP switches and font selection commands.
