Q. Why is a ON-LINE or PAUSE button not present on the AP-2250 front

panel?

Q. What is the advantage of purchasing an optional Push Tractor?

paper while still maintaining the ability to use the AP-2250’s built-in single

sheet paper cassette. When using the optional push tractor, the AP-2250

can accept a two part carbonless multi-part form with a total thickness up

to 0.18mm.

Q. With which interface does the AP-2250 come standard?

The AP-2250 comes standard with a built-in Centronics compatible parallel

interface.

6. Q.

How do I use the AP-2250 to operate with serial communications?

A. The AP-2250 only operates with parallel communications.

If a printer driver selection is not shown for the AP-2250 in my application

software programs, which printer driver selection should I choose?

The recommended printer driver selections for the AP-2250 are listed

below in order from best to worst.

To take full advantage of the AP-2250’s features, choose one of the first

three printers listed above. If none of these printer selections are

available from within your application software, contact your software

they plan to make one available in the future.

13. Q. Can different fonts be selected on the AP-2250’s front panel?

Yes, different fonts may be selected from the AP-2250’s front panel by

using the FONT button. However, all font selections made from the front

panel can be overridden by a software application program. The

recommended method to select fonts is through the program that you are

using to print. If the program does not provide font selection abilities, then

the printer’s font panel is very useful.

Q. Why is the AP-2250’s parallel cable connector located on the side of the

printer instead of the rear like most other printer?

Since the AP-2250 may be operated in two different positions, it was

necessary to relocate the parallel cable connector to the side of the

printer.

15.

Q. Why does the AP-2250 produce two (2) long and two (2) short beeps

when first power-on?

completed its power-on initialization process and is ready to print.
