Follow the steps below to enter the default-setting mode. You’ll
need four sheets of A4 or letter size single-sheet paper or four
pages of continuous paper that is at least 11 inches (279 mm)
long and 8.3 inches (210 mm) wide. If you use single sheets,
you need to load a new sheet of paper each time the printer
ejects a printed sheet from the paper guide.
1. Make sure the printer is on and paper is loaded. Then press
the
Pitch and Tear Off/Bin buttons to open the Menu. The
Menu lights (both the Tear Off/Bin lights) turn on, and the
printer enters the default-setting mode and prints the
language selection instructions.
2. Press the
Font button until the Font lights show the
language you want, as described in the instructions.
3. Press the
Tear Off/Bin button to print the default-setting
mode instructions (three pages) in the language you
selected. The printed instructions list the settings you can
change, describe how to change them, and show how the
control panel lights help you make settings. Use these
instructions to change the printer’s default settings from the
control panel.
4. When you finish making settings, press the
Menu buttons
(
Pitch and Tear Off/Bin) to exit the default-setting mode.
Emulating the Okidata Microline 320/
321 Turbo
You can make your FX-890 or FX-2190 work like the Okidata
®
Microline
®
320 Turbo or 321 Turbo. In Okidata mode, the
printer emulates Okidata functions, and the following
additional settings can be selected in the default setting mode.
The default settings (shown in bold) are consistent with
Okidata Microline 320/321 Turbo factory settings.
Note: The FX-890 and FX-2190 do not support the USB interface in
Okidata mode.
If you want to use your printer in Okidata mode, do not install
the Windows driver that came with your printer. If you have
been using an Okidata driver, you can continue to use it with
your printer in Okidata mode.
If you have been using an Okidata printer, you may want to
print out its default settings for reference before changing
modes on the FX-890/FX-2190. To do this on the Okidata
printer, press
SHIFT + SEL to enter Menu mode, and then press
PRINT.
To enter Okidata mode on your FX-890/FX-2190, make sure
the printer is turned off. Then hold down the
Tear Off/Bin and
Pause buttons while you turn on the printer. The printer beeps
once to indicate it is now in Okidata mode. It remains in
Okidata mode until you repeat the above procedure. To return
to FX-890/FX-2190 mode, hold down the
Tear Off/Bin and
Pause buttons while you turn on the printer. The printer beeps
twice and is now operating in FX-890/2190 mode.
When you switch from one mode to the other, any changes you
made to the printer’s settings in the original mode are restored
to their default values. You can print the default settings for the
printer to check the current settings and change them if
necessary. See page 14.
