Introduction
1-1
1Introduction
The Matrix Printers have been developed for professional applications in all environ-
ments. They meet the highest possible technical standards, and with proper use, they
should provide many years of trouble-free operation.
High-performance print qualities as well as operation with fanfold paper and cut sheets
from front can be chosen.
The following print qualities are available:
High Speed Draft Print Quality (HSQ)
Copy Draft Print Quality (DPQ Copy)
Draft Print Quality (DPQ)
Near Letter Quality (NLQ)
Letter Quality (LQ)
For details see chapter Specifictions.
The electronic part controlled by a microcomputer operates the needle printhead,
menu programming, and interface.
All elements of the printer control are arranged on printed circuit boards so that only a
few additional components are required such as
step motor for function select,
step motor for color option,
step motor for paper feed,
DC motor for carriage feed,
step motor for automatic gap adjust
The following options and features will further enhance the printer’s capabilities:
3rd push tractor from rear (feature)
push tractor front (standard)
front cut sheet insertion (standard)
automatic gap adjustment (standard)
sheet feeder with two paper bins (option)
face down module for cut sheet feeder (option)
fonts(on request)
automatic gap adjustment (standard)
multi-color ribbon (feature, T2265/80 only)
2nd push tractor front (option)
The manufacturer recommends the use of original accessories.
The use of others than original parts may reduce the performance of the printer and
cause defects on the printer. For errors caused by the useof others than original ac-
cessories, your warranty become invalid.
Caution:
Activities described herein must only be performed by specially trained and qualified
service personnel! Harmful voltages can be touched

Sets of forms Sets of forms may be used only if the top edge is
bound. The binding edge should be as soft as pos-
sible. A wavy binding edge may hamper the
smooth feeding of these sets. Multi-part forms must
be loaded with the bound top edge down. Multi-part
forms should be tested for suitability.
Paper quality Light pulp paper of medium fine quality, paper bea-
ring the quality mark SM Post and photocopy paper
are suitable for use. Unsuitable are: satin-finisch or
coated papers, imitation art papers, and embossed
papers.
Since paper as natural material reacts strongly to
environmental influences (e.g. humidity, tempera-
ture), the place of storage should be selected care-
fully. We recommend that this kind of paper should
be tested extensively before larger quantities are
acquired.
Should papers with a dark reverse side be used,
these should also be tested for their functionality.
Please pay attention to the use of infrared reflec-
ting colors, when acquiring these papers.
