Printed information The information printed by the Super12 Document Printer is defined

during installation.

The Super12 Document Printer prints up to 12 lines per document.

Each line can be a maximum of 12 characters, consisting of as many as

three of the following items:

• Document image address

• Day of the week

• Date

• Time

• Roll number, if applicable

• Total document count

• Messages 1–9

The same information may be printed on documents of all levels, or

different information may be printed on documents of different levels.

The information printed by the Super12 Document Printer always

appears in rows parallel to the leading edge of the document(s) as

shown:

Document travels

through transport

Orientation — information is printed on each document in Comic

orientation.

Font — only one font is available for the Super12 Document Printer.

IMPORTANT:

The Super12 Document Printer allows you to print only

up to line 15 (relative to the print template, which is used

in conjunction with print position to determine distance

of the printed information from the leading edge of the

document).

Changing the print

location and print

position

The location of the information you want printed on a document is

determined by the print location of the Super12 Document Printer and

the pre-defined print position.

Print Location

The Super12 Document Printer can be placed in one of six available

locations across the transport plate. The orientation of the printer when

in position 1, 2 or 3 is different than when the printer is in position 4, 5

or 6.

NOTE: Before you change print locations, remove the plastic strips

covering the print locations you want to print in. The plastic

strips cover the print locations on both the transport plate and

the belt module (not shown in this illustration). Plastic strips

should be left in place for any unused locations.

To remove the plastic strips from a print location:

1. Open the front cover of the scanner.

2. Lift the printer from the printer bracket and place it on the hanger

bracket to keep it out of the way.

CAUTION: Hot surface, avoid contact.

NOTE:Be sure the flex cable is placed between the two hooks so it

does not get damaged.

3. Remove the plastic strips from any print locations (on the transport

plate) that you will be printing in.

4. Lift the transport plate and remove the belt module.

5. Remove the plastic strips from the desired print locations from the

underside of the belt module. The print locations that you remove

the plastic strips from should correspond with the strips you

removed from the transport plate.

NOTE:Verify that the maintenance tray is in place before

continuing. If the maintenance tray is not in place, see

“Replacing the maintenance tray” for more information.

6. Replace the belt module.

7. Lower the transport plate.

8. Lift the printer from the hanger bracket, rotate it 180°if necessary,

and place it into the desired print location. The printer is firmly in

place if you cannot slide the printer from its location.

NOTE:If you are rotating the Super12 Document Printer, be careful

not to twist or strain the flex cable.

9. When finished, close the front cover.

Print Position

The print position specifies how far from the leading edge (fed into the

transport first) of the document the information will be printed. The

default print position is defined at installation.

You can temporarily change the default print position by using function

code F46. The new print position will be used to print information until

function code F02 (Restore Mode) is used to return the starting print

position to its original value (provided mode overrides are not saved), or

until function code F46 is used again to change the print position(s).

NOTES:

• Restore Mode (F02) restores all initial printer settings, except the

print contrast setting and print alignment.

• The print position should be carefully calculated. Make sure to set

the print position close enough to the leading edge of the document

so the printed information is not truncated before reaching the

trailing edge of the document.

Enabling/disabling

the Super12

Document Printer

Make sure the Super12 Document Printer is enabled before feeding

documents.

• The Super12 Document Printer may be enabled/disabled separately

at the mode level using function code F43.

• If you have enabled the Super12 Document Printer, but do not want

to print on the next document fed into the transport, you may omit

printing on the next document only by entering function code F44.

• During normal operation or a print test, the operator interface panel

will beep when the Super12 Printer has reached the capped or print

position. The beep occurs approximately 5 seconds after pressing

Run or Stop.

IMPORTANT:

Whenever Run or Stop is pressed, the Super12

Document Printer moves to a capped or print

position. The capped position covers the print

cartridges to keep them from drying out.

When Run is pressed, the message, E133 Feeder

waiting for printer will be displayed. When the

message clears and the scanner beeps, the printer

has moved into the print position.

When Stop is pressed, wait for the beep to sound

before opening the front door or turning off power,

so the printer has time to move into the capped

position

Function codes The information printed by the Super12 Document Printer is defined

during installation.

Individual modes are defined for use with specific applications. If a

Super12 Document Printer has been installed, some or all modes may

allow use of the Super12 Document Printer. In addition, the customer-

specified information to be printed is defined for each mode.

The Super12 Document Printer provides easy installation and cleaning

of two print cartridges for 12-character printing. In addition to these

features, the following functions can be used:

• F39 Variable print contrast setting — allows you to increase or

decrease the amount of ink put on the document.

• F45 Print testing capability before use — allows you to test the print

quality of the Super12 Document Printer.

• F48 Auto-purging with no operator intervention — allows you to

initiate an automatic purging of the print heads. This function can be

done when the transport is off.

• F49 Print image alignment — allows you to specify how far to move

the left half of an image up or down on the document so it will align

with the right half of the image.

• F56 Open jet/connection detection — allows you to determine

whether or not there are nonfunctional ink jets in the Super12

Document Printer. Also checks the print head(s) connection to the

flex cable to assure the print heads(s) are installed properly.

F39 — Changing the print

contrast To change the print contrast setting:

1. Enter function code F39.

2. Press Enter. The current contrast setting will be displayed.

3. Press the up (↑) arrow to increment, or press the down (↓) arrow to

decrement the displayed value. Incremental values are: 12, 25, 37,

50, 62, 75, 87 and 100%.

NOTE:High contrast levels may cause ink smear on some types of

documents.

4. Press Enter to save the value.

F45 — Verifying print

quality Perform the following procedure to verify the print quality is satisfactory:

1. Enter function code F45 (Print Test) and press Enter.

2. Press 2(Test Pattern). The transport starts automatically.

3. Feed a blank sheet of paper; a test pattern will be printed.

4. Evaluate the appearance of the test pattern. A complete test

pattern should look similar to the following illustration:

• If the pattern is complete, begin work.

• If the pattern is not legible:

◊ Check to see that the print cartridges are inserted properly.

See the section entitled, “Installing a new print cartridge” for

more information.

◊ Perform function code F48 (Purge function) to help unclog

the print head jet openings.

◊ Repeat the print test.

5. Press 1and verify your current mode image looks acceptable.

NOTES:

• If you select a blank print template or the No Print Template

option (depending on the specific mode you are printing in), then

the selection of 1, Current Mode Image, may print nothing.

• Print Test Pattern always prints with 100% contrast.

• The Mode Image prints with the specified contrast setting (F39).
