Which driver should I use for
this printer? |
AMT Datasouth does not provide
printer drivers for XL series printers, since these printers do not
contain a native AMT command language. Instead, these printers contain
Epson and IBM printer emulations. To use XL400 printers with Windows, use
the IBM XL Proprinter driver with feature 13 set to a value of 2 , or the
Epson FX-100 driver with feature 13 set to a value of 6. For the XL300 or
XL300DD use the Epson FX-100 driver with feature 13 set to a value of 6.
These drivers can be found on the Windows Installation disks. Feature #13
has certain values that correspond to different printer drivers. The
driver type and value number is shown below; Value# Driver 1 Generic 2 IBM

We have a 3 wire serial
connection to our XL 400 running at 2400 baud. It's set at 2400 baud so
the buffer does not overflow. It prints most long reports fine but we are
having trouble printing checks. What can I do? |
Please verify the port
settings in your host (computer) for hankshaking whether Xon/Xoff and/or
DTR. The XL400 printer must match the host settings. The pinouts for the
serial port are 1 = chassis ground 2 = transmit 3 = receive 7 = signal
ground 11 + 20 = DTR |

Which three buttons must be
pressed while turning the printer on/off to reset the printer back to the
original factory default settings (XL 300)? |
To default an XL300 turn the
print off and hold only the clear button in while powering on until the
printhead has stopped moving. Feature 13 is the emulation feature if you
set this to a value of 6 it will be an Epson FX. |
