Preface
About this Manual
This manual covers the printer in combination with an interface module (Perso-
nality Module).
The Personality Module (PM) is an integral part of the printer, and the type of
PM used significantly influences the behaviour or operation of the printer.
The structure of this manual is such that the operator is led step-by-step
through the various procedures. It starts with the unpacking and setting-up,
moves on to detailed instructions for operating the printer and ends with the
mounting of options.
The manual is divided into the following chapters:
1. Getting Started
This chapter covers the unpacking and setting-up of the printer and the
installation of the PM (Personality Module) and ribbon cassette. By the
end of this chapter the printer should be fully functional and tested in its
primary form. It is not yet connected to the host computer system and no
options are mounted.
2. Operating the Printer
This chapter discusses in great detail the operation of the operator panel,
all menu functions, and the general operation of the menu. General status
messages (e.g. COVER OPEN) are also described.
3. Configuring the Printer
This chapter explains how to configure the printer so that it can
communicate with the corresponding system environment. Then this
