Preparing the Printers

Fujitsu DL3600

The Fujitsu DL3600 is a multicolor, 24-pin dot matrix printer. The printer communicates with the host processor through a parallel (Centronics) interface; the interface receptacle is positioned at the right rear corner of the printer.

Modifying the default printer settings requires use of the front control panel buttons. This panel is shown in Figure 3-4.

To modify the default settings, perform the following steps:

1.Connect the power cable to the printer and plug the power cable into an outlet. DO NOT SWITCH ON THE POWER YET. Load continuous form paper into the printer. (For detailed instructions, consult the Fujitsu DL3600 User's and Programmer's Manual that comes with the printer.)

2.Put the printer in SETUP mode by pressing and holding down the MODE button and switching the printer's power on. The SETUP mode menu will be printed as shown in Figure 3-5. To view the menu fully, pull the clear plastic cover over the roller completely forward.

3.SETUP mode consists of a number of functions. The first function, MENU1, consists of 21 individual printer settings. These settings along with their correct values are specified in Table 3-1.

The red cursor on the plastic print guide is positioned under the current function. Other functions may be selected by repeatedly pressing the MODE button. To begin changing the settings of a particular function, press the FF button.

Select the MENU1 function by pressing the MODE button until the red cursor is positioned under the printed MENU1 tag.
