GLOSSARY

ABOUT THE PRINTER INTERFACE

What this Printer Interface Can Do

After you have the printer interface kit installed in your fax machine, you will be able to

use the machine as a desktop printer for your personal computer.

To ensure that the printer can be used with a wide range of application programs, emu-

lation modes for three different printer types have been provided. These emulation

modes are for:

❐HP LaserJet IIIP (3/P/Si mode)

❐Epson LQ

❐Epson FX

There is a slot for an optional font cartridge (for a HP compatible font cartridge) and a

slot for an optional font card (for an Epson font card or HP plotter emulation mode

card).

The printer comes with 1 megabyte of memory, and you can add up to an extra 5

megabytes, making a possible total of 6 megabytes.

If you need optional font cards or cartridges, obtain them from your computer store.

The manufacturer of this fax machine does not supply these items, and cannot

guarantee satisfactory operation of the machine with every font card and cartridge

that is available. See Appendix D for more on optional font cards and cartridges.

Sharing the Printer with Two Computers

Your printer has two different interfaces (these will be referred to as channels in this

manual, because the printer’s software uses this term, or its abbreviation "CH"). There

is a Centronics parallel channel and an RS-232C serial channel, and you can connect

one PC to each. The RS-232C channel accepts data from a PC at high speeds up to

19,200 bps. The printer can automatically detect which channel data is coming in on,

and data is printed on a first-in first-out basis.

You can connect the printer to two computers at the same time, using both channels.

This is known as Multi-user mode. There are two basic types of Multi-user mode; these

are described on page 13.

If you wish, you can allocate a different emulation mode to each channel, and different

sets of printer settings. You can also allocate separate parts of the printer’s memory to

each channel. See page 38 for details on how to share your printer between two com-

puters.

INTRODUCTION

Working with the Printer and the Fax Machine at the Same Time

In a few cases, the machine can handle two tasks at the same time. The following ta-

bles show how to operate the machine while a job is currently in progress.

1. If you wish to print a file from the computer while the fax machine is busy

Current Task (Fax Machine) Printing a File from the PC

Immediate Transmission Not possible; wait until the machine has

finished the current task.

Memory Transmission

Scanning a document and storing it to memory Possible; you can print your file

immediately if you wish.

Receiving a fax message Not possible; wait until the machine has

finished the current task.

Printing a fax message from memory

Making a copy

2. If you wish to use the fax machine (or if someone tries to send you a fax message)

while you are printing a file from the computer

Desired Use of the Fax Machine Whether Possible or Not

Immediate Transmission Not possible; wait until the machine has finished

printing.

Memory Transmission You can store a document in the memory, but

transmission will not begin until at least 10

seconds after the machine has finished printing.

Scanning a document and storing it to memory Possible; you can start immediately, even though

the machine is printing a file from the computer.

Receiving a fax message Not possible; wait until at least 10 seconds after

the machine has finished printing.

Printing a fax message from memory Not possible; wait until the machine has finished

printing.

Making a copy

Note: You can tell if the machine is printing a file from the computer by looking at

the indicator (you can tell by looking at the indicator even if the machine is

in fax standby mode). When it is flashing, the computer is sending data to the

printer. When it is steady, only printing is taking place; the computer is not

sending data.

If the indicator remains steady but nothing is being printed, see Form Feed on

page 14.

While the machine is in printer mode (Function 35), the machine cannot re-

ceive fax messages.

INTRODUCTION

Operating the Printer

On Line

You can print data from your computer at any time, if the printer is on line (see page 14

for how to switch the printer on line).

Off Line

No data can be received from the computer if the printer is off line. However, any data

in the printer buffer can be printed manually by the Form Feed procedure (see page

14).

Function 35: Printer "Ready"/Set Up Mode (Selectype Mode)

In this mode, you can access a wide range of printer set-up features. Printer setup

mode is called "Selectype" mode. It is described on page 21 and the pages following

that. You can switch between On Line and Off Line if the printer "READY" display is

showing, but not if the printer is in Selectype mode.

To enter Printer Ready/Set Up Mode, use Function 35

Function 3 5 Yes

You can combine these into a keystroke program to enter this mode quickly. For infor-

mation on how to make a keystroke program, see the Operator’s Manual for your fax

machine.

To leave Printer Ready/Set Up mode:

Return to fax standby mode only from the printer "READY" display (shown above

right). To return to the "Ready" display, press repeatedly.

Press Function to return to fax standby mode.

Also, if you do not touch the machine for 4 minutes while it is in printer mode, the ma-

chine will return to fax standby mode.

CONVENTIONS

The following conventions were used when writing this manual.

Keynames: Mainly, these have been placed in a different typeface, and enclosed in a

box. For example: Function means "Press the Function key". For the arrow keys,

(for example) means "Press the key".

Displays: Messages seen in the bottom line of the display panel are shown in a larger

box, normally to the right of the operation that causes the display to appear.
