NEW FX-850/1050 DOT-MATRIX PRINTER
If you plan to use the IBM emulation mode, choose IBM Proprinter (if
you have an FX-850). IBM Proprinter XL (if you have an FX-1050). IBM
Graphics printer, or IBM printer, in that order of preference.
Note: If your application program does not list the FX-850 or FX-1050,
you may want to contact the software manufacturer to see if an
update is available.
Installation/Support Tips
Software
The type of printer installed on your system must be identified for
each software package. This is usually done through a setup
menu. If this printer is not listed in your program, look in the
printer User’s Manual for the next-best model selection.
DIP Switch Settings
The default setting will usually work for moat applications, but
they should be checked before using the printer. This will avoid
unexpected results.
Serial Operation
The FX-850/1050 will be able to receive serial data with the
addition of an Epson 81XX series interface option.
Cut-Sheet Feeder Operation
The
page length will have to be adjusted (shortened) to 61 liner
per page if your software does not properly support cut-sheet
paper. There will be lines from the first page printed at the top of
the second page if the page length is not set correctly.
Disabling the Buffer
An undocumented feature of the FX-850/1050 is the ability to
disable the buffer from the SelecType panel. To toggle the buffer
hold down the Load/Eject switch at power on. Two beeps
indicate that the 8K buffer is enabled, and one beep indicates that
the buffer is disabled. (Some spooler applications wont work
correctly unless the buffer is disabled.)
