Mobile Media — 8. Thank you for purchasing a Printek Printer. This printer has been designed to provide years of service handling your most demanding printing requirements. In addition, an easy to use front panel combined with the ability to store ten different form configurations makes handling multiple forms as simple as a button press for the operator. The PrintMaster and si are rear feed single tractor path, 85 Column printers. The PrintMaster si has both a rear feed tractor path and a bottom feed tractor path.
This chapter will use the fewest possible steps to get the first time user up and running quickly. You will be guided through the following steps:. Before installation, a suitable site must be chosen. Suitable sites include offices, computer rooms, and most factory environments.
Printek printers have been designed to be rugged, heavy-duty printers. As such, they will handle most harsh environments, but should not be placed in direct sunlight or in areas that will exceed the rated temperature, humidity, or power requirements.
Once a site has been selected, the printer should be placed on a countertop, desk or Printek Printstand. The printstand should be located in an area large enough to provide easy access to both the front of the printer and the rear for accessing printed output.
Caution : Before connecting power, make sure that all shipping materials have been removed. These materials include an internal brace that secures the print head carriage open front lid to access.
Now connect the computer cable s to the appropriate interface. Next, connect the power cord supplied with the printer to the printer and an appropriate power outlet. The pictures below show the location of the interface connectors on the rear panel of the printer. Depending upon which interface is being used to connect the printer to the host computer, some set up may or may not be required.
This is true of the standard parallel, serial, or Ethernet. The factory default settings for each interface should work well for most installations. The default settings are baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity with hardware handshake on pin The default printer emulation is Epson.
For a complete description of all the default settings for this interface, refer to page This interface uses the standard 36 pin parallel connector. This interface uses a standard RJ connector and the default printer emulation is Epson.
For additional software installation and operational information, please refer to the Troy XCD Quick Install Manual shipped with the unit. The Printek printer has been designed to make installing Printek brand ribbons a simple, clean process. Unlike other printers, there is no need to touch the ribbon fabric or deal with difficult to position ribbon guides. The following sections explain why the use of Printek brand ribbons should be important to you and will guide you through installing the ribbon cartridge.
The above label on each ribbon can identify Printek brand ribbons. There are many reasons to use only Printek brand ribbons in your PrintMaster Series printer.
First of all, using only Printek brand ribbons will automatically extend the printhead warranty to two years instead of one year.
The reason this is possible is that Printek brand ribbons are manufactured to much higher quality standards than those offered by other manufacturers. This provides not only longer print head life, but also longer ribbon life… 15 million characters as compared to only 5 million characters from some generic ribbons.
Remember that using only Printek brand ribbons is important because the wear that is started and the contamination that remains from even one inferior ribbon will continue to damage the print head. Using inferior ribbons would be like using poor quality fuel in your automobile.
Premature engine failure and poor performance leading up to the failure would be the best you could expect. Open the ribbon lid at the front of the printer. The printer automatically positions the print head for ribbon loading by moving it away from the platen surface and centering it laterally within the compartment. The printer will do his automatically when the ribbon cover is closed. When shipped from the factory, the basic configuration for all ten forms is an eleven-inch form, six lines per inch, and ten characters per inch.
Open the paper door rear lid of the printer. This will provide access to the tractors as shown below. Open the tractor doors and remove the old form. If the new form is a different width than the previous form, unlock the right tractor and move it to approximately the new position. The form should be face down as shown in the picture. Place the left edge of the new form in the left tractor with the holes aligned with tractor pins. Make sure that the top edge of the form does not extend above the top of the tractors.
Close the left tractor door. Now position the paper in the right tractor in the same fashion. If necessary, the position of the right tractor may be adjusted. To do so, move the lever on the side of the tractor back to unlock the tractor and slide the tractor sideways on the shafts. After the paper is placed in the tractor and the door is closed, position the tractor far enough to the right so that there is no buckle in the paper between the tractors, but not so tight that the holes in the paper are distorted.
Lock the tractor in place by returning the lever to the forward position. Open the bottom feed paper door by pulling the top of the door towards you, as shown below. Lift the front of the printer up to access the tractors, as shown below.
The printer will remain in this raised position. Feed the paper up through the bottom of the printer with the printed side facing you and position the holes in the edge of the paper over the pins in the left tractor while making sure that the paper will not extend above the top of the tractors.
Then close the tractor door. Note: The left tractor position is not adjustable. To do so, move the lever on the side of the tractor down to unlock the tractor and slide the tractor sideways on the shafts. After the paper is placed in the tractor and the tractor door is closed, position the tractor far enough to the right so that there is no buckle in the paper between the two tractors, but not so tight that the holes in the paper are distorted.
Lock the tractor in place by returning the lever to the up position. Close the bottom paper door and lower the front of the printer down until it latches in place. The printer performs many self-diagnostics each time power is applied. If you wish to perform an actual printing test, use the following steps. Make sure the printer is powered on with ribbon and paper loaded. The test pattern to be printed will use the current form settings and in the PrintMaster si, the current paper path.
Select the desired form settings and paper path before proceeding to the next step. The printer will now exit Setup and begin printing a rotating character pattern using the current form settings. Open the front lid and press the MENU button until the display reads.
