OKIDATA Microline 320 Turbo Use and care manual

Setting up the Okidata Microline 320 Turbo to work with AutoDealer Plus
Physically Setting up the Printer:
1. irst make sure the power switch
is in the “Off” position. Next plug
in the power cable to the back of
the printer, and plug the other
end into the wall. Then plug the
parallel data cable into the
printer. Make sure you plug the
other end of the data cable into
the back of your computer. Make
sure the printer turned off. We
will turn it on in a later step.
2. Move the lever on the right side
of the printer to the middle
position, so it is set to “Top”
feed.
3. Adjust the paper guide to
accept paper in the manual
feed position. The paper guide
should be at a 45 degree angle.
4. Slide the margin bracket on
the left side until it is touching
the notch. This margin
bracket will never need to be
adjusted and should always
remain in this position. Align
the right bracket by placing a
standard sheet of paper in the
printer and sliding it until it
keeps the paper in place
between both brackets
without binding the paper.

This will revert the printer back to factory settings. Even if this is a new printer it is recommended that you
reset it.

holding both buttons down, turn the printer on.
The printer is now reset.
Adjusting the irmware Settings:
This will program the printer to work with AutoDealer Plus. If for some reason you get lost or accidentally
press the wrong button, you can always go back and reset the printer back to factory settings as described in the
section above.

the “Menu” button, and then release them both. The menu light at the bottom will now be lit up.
2. Press the “Group” button. A line will print that will look like this:

(Note: Each time the button is pressed it will print a line.
Wait at least 2 seconds for it to finish printing before you hit the next button)
3. Press the “Group” button six more times until it prints the line:
Set-Up Graphics Uni-Directional

printing that line before you hit the next button, until it prints the following line:

the printer.
Aligning the eed Length
Place that same
piece of paper back into
the printer. Notice the
plastic guard that holds
the paper against the
roller. The paper will be
protruding about half an
inch above that guard.
Hold the “Shift” button
and then hold down the
“Micro Feed Down”
button until the paper has
moved down to the top of
the plastic guard. Adjust
the paper so it is just
barely above the plastic
guard as shown in the
diagram (approximately 1/16th of an inch). If you go too far down, hold the “Shift” button and then tap the
“Micro Feed up” button. It is recommended that you press park and remove the paper and put it back in a few
times to make sure that the paper is loading in the same place every time. If you notice that the paper loads in
different places, you may need to clean or replace the black roller because it is not gripping the paper properly.
Installing the Windows Driver:
When the printer is first plugged into the
computer Windows may bring up a driver installation
dialog box like the one on the right. Click the Next
button after each window, until it says “ inish”, then
click inish. This installs the default windows driver.
You will never need a driver disk for this printer. The
drivers are already built into all major Windows
versions.

Printing a Test Page:
inally, make sure that you do not set the Okidata as the default printer in Windows. You should have
another printer setup on this computer, such as a laser printer, for printing other documents. Set your laser
printer as the default printer for Windows. To do this, click on the Start button in the lower left corner of your
screen, go up and click on “Run...”. Type “control printers” and then click “OK”. This brings up all the printers
installed on your computer. The default printer has a black dot with a check mark in it. If your laser printer does
not have this mark, right click on that icon, and then click “Set as Default Printer”.
To make sure your Okidata is working properly right click it's icon, and then click on “Properties”. Click
on the button in the bottom right that says “Print Test Page”. If a piece of paper is not already in the printer, put
one in now so it can print the test page.
The installation is now complete! Some contracts may need minor adjustment. This can be done within
the AutoDealer Plus program. You may need an administrator account within AutoDealer Plus in order to access
the contract editing menu.
