1.6 HEXADECIMAL DUMP FUNCTION
In hexadecimal dump mode, the printer prints out the data it receive? in hexadecimal format. The printer prints a column of 16 hexadecimal values, folIowed by a column containing the 16 corresponding ASCII characters. If there is no corresponding printable character for a value (e.g., a control code, such as a carriage return or line feed), a period (. ) is printed in the ASCII column in the position of the code. Each line of the dump contains 16 values, printed in the order they were received, and any remaining data (less than 16 values on the final line) can be printed by operating the ON-LINE switch. Table 1-21 shows the hexadecimal dump operation and Figure 1-14 shows printout of the operation. Table 1-21. Hexadecimal Dump Operation Function Hexadecimal dump mode Operation Turn the power on while pressing both the LF and FF switches. stop Turn the power off.

1.7 PRINTER INITIALIZATION
There are two initialization methods: hardware initialization and software initialization. 1.7.1 Hardware Initialization

This type of initialization occurs when printer power is turned on or when the printer receives the INIT signal from the host via the 8-bit parallel interface. When printer is initialized in this way, it performs the following actions: q Initializes printer mechanism q Clears downloaded character set q Clears the input data buffer q Clears the image buffer q Sets printer selections to their default values 1.7.2 Software Initialization This type of initialization occurs when the printer receives command (ESC @) via software. WhiSin the printer is initialized in this way, it performes the fo~owing actions: q Clears the image buffer q Sets printer selections to their default values. NOTE: The printer's default values are as follows: Page Position Left and Right Margin Line Spacing Vertical Tab Position Horizontal Tab Position VFU Channel Preset paper position becomes top of form position Released 1/6 inches Cleared Every 8 characters (relative)

NOTE: In LQ-850, the paper tension unit and push tractor unit are excluded. Fig. 1-15. LQ-850/l 050 Component Locations 1.9.1 Printer Mechanism The printer mechanism is composed of two stepper motors used in carriage move and paper feed, a 24-pin printhead, four sensors (home position, paper end, friction/tractor, and platen gap sensors), and metal frames. The printer mechanism has two paper guides (depending on the paper type), a push type tractor unit, and an optional pull type tractor unit. These features enable the LQ-850/ 1050 printers to print on a wide range of usable paper types. The construction of the mechanism has been simplified to make maintenance very easy.

REV.-A 1.9.1.1 Paper Loading and Paper Ejection The paper release lever has a disengage capability for the optional pull tractor unit's drive mechanism. Therefore, these printers provide some improved paper handling functions that can be performed by using a combination of the paper release lever and LOAD/EJECT switch on the control panel. Single Sheet Loading and Ejection
T O load a sheet of paper, position the paper release lever back, place the page along the paper guide,

and press the LOAD/EJECT switch. This loads the paper at the top-of-form position. If LOAD/EJECT switch is pressed after paper has been loaded, it causes the paper to be ejected. Fanfold Paper Loading and Ejection (Back Out) To load fanfold paper, move the paper release lever forward, and insert the paper into the push tractor. Pressing the LOAD/EJECT switch loads the paper automatically to the top-of-form position. If LOAD/EJECT switch is pressed after the fanfold paper has been loaded, the printer ejects the paper backward from the push tractor. To back out several pages, press the LOAD/EJECT switch several times, since reverse feed is performed on a page-by-page basis. The SelecType LEDs light only after the paper has been loaded and the ON-LINE switch has been pressed. After ON-LINE has been pressed, the user can adjust the paper loading position for the next sheet loaded into the printer and the top-of-form position for the currently loaded sheet. Pressing the FORM-FEED switch advances the paper forward in increments of 1/180 inches continuously for as long as the switch is held down, and pressing the LINE-FEED switch moves the paper in reverse in increments of 1/180 inches. Moving the paper with these switches is called "micro adjustment". After the paper has been adjusted in this way, the printer uses that position as the loading position for each subsequent page. When the printer is initialized, the loading position for a single sheet returns to the default value. 1.9.1.2 Auto-Tear-OFF Function To enable the auto-tear-off function, set DIP switch 2-7 to ON prior to turning on the printer. When this function is activated and the paper release lever is placed in its forward position, paper is fed in the following way: after the input data buffer becomes empty, while printer is in the ON-LINE mode, the printer feeds the paper so that the perforation at the form's end is moved automatically to the tear-off edge of the sheet guide cover. After the printer has positioned the paper, the SelecType LEDs flash to indicate that the FORM-FEED and LINE-FEED switches are available for micro adjustment of the tear-off position, as long as the printer is ON-LINE. If subsequent data is input to the printer, then the paper will be reversed to its original position automatically and printing will start. If the ON-LINE switch is pressed (taking the printer OFF-LINE) while the paper is advanced to the tear off position, then the printer will reverse the paper to its original position.

REV.-A 1.9.3 MONPS/MONPSE Board (Power Supply Circuit Board) The power supply circuit board is located on one of two boards, the MONPS for 120 V AC operation and the MONPSE for 220/240 V operation. The basic construction of the two boards is the same: each board contains a power switch, fuses, line filter circuit, and switching regulator circuit. Compactness of the circuitry is made possible by use of a DC-to-DC converter.
