Selecting a baud rate

You can select from the following baud rates: 300, 600, 1,200, 2,400, 4,800, 9,600 and 19,200 bps (bits per second). When you set the baud rate, see the bit-rate selection table in the C82305*/C82306* interface card manual.

When the vacant area for data in the input buffer drops to 256 bytes, the printer outputs an X-OFF code or sets the DTR flag to 1 (MARK) to indicate that it cannot receive data. When the vacant area for data in the buffer increases to 512 bytes, the printer outputs an X-ON code or sets the DTR flag to 0 (SPACE) to indicate that it is ready to receive data.

Error handling
When the printer detects an error, it prints an asterisk (*).

Maintenance and Transportation

Replacing the ink cartridge

When the INK OUT light on the control panel flashes, the ink in the ink cartridge is low. The printer continues printing until the cartridge is completely empty. When it is out of ink, the printer stops and the INK OUT light stays on. Printing does not resume until you insert a new cartridge.

It’s a good idea to keep a spare ink cartridge on hand. Use Epson ink cartridge SO20025 to ensure proper operation and preserve the life of the print head. Other brands of ink may clog the print head or damage it.

Follow these steps to remove the empty cartridge:
