Chapter 1 Overview  
Features  
Thank you for purchasing this SEIKO Precision FB-390 printer.  
Combing high speed, high quality output with advanced paper handing capabilities, this versatile,  
24-pin, flatbed printer is ideal for a wide range of multi-part and cut-sheet printing requirements.  
Reliability, flexibility and ease-of-use are key features, making the FB-390 the perfect choice for  
performing demanding applications in a variety of environments.  
Versatile, Reliable, Straight Paper Path  
The straight paper path enables paper to feed through the printer without bending, thus reducing  
the risk of paper jamming. The versatile FB-390 prints on a wide variety of paper types from 7-part  
forms to labels, envelopes and reports, as well as media up to 0.45mm thick.  
Easy Paper Handing  
The printer has several other useful features, which help eliminate paper handing problems and  
ensure quick, accurate results.  
Automatic paper loading/ejection with automatic skew detection  
The automatic paper load function ensures cut sheet paper fed into the printer is correctly  
positioned. The FB-390 also has an automatic skew detection function, which ejects forms which  
are not fed in straight.  
At the touch of a button, tractor paper loaded onto the tractor is automatically set to the printing  
position. When printing is completed, the paper feeds out to the front table for easy tear-off.  
Zero tear-off function  
This causes tractor paper to be automatically fed to the tear-off position at the edge of the window  
cover, for easy tear-off at the perforations after printing. This zero tear-off capability helps  
eliminate paper wastage.  
Paper park function  
A simple command on the control panel enables the tractor paper to be retracted (parked) outside  
of the print mechanism so that after switching the paper path select lever, cut sheet paper can be  
fed into the printer from the front.  
After the cut sheet paper has been printed, reverse the paper path lever so that the fanfold  
stationery can be advanced back into the print mechanism for the next print job.

Automatic Interface Switching  
The FB-390 is equipped with two interface connectors and therefore accepts both parallel  
(Centronics) and USB data transfer. The printer automatically detects the type of data transfer  
received from the host computer and switches to the corresponding interface type.  
High Resolution Graphics  
A maximum resolution of 360×360 DPI enables the printer to produce fine, sharp graphics.  
User- Friendly Control Panel  
Current print status and access to all printer functions is available via simple commands from the  
control panel. In addition, the control panel is used to access the menu system (Setup Menu  
System) with complete control over the printer’s set-up functions.  
Emulation  
The printer supports the Epson ESC/P2 emulation as standard.  
Bar Code Generator  
NW-7, EAN-13, EAN-8, Code 39, Industrial 2of 5, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 128B, and Code 128C  
are built-in as standard.

Chapter 3 Loading paper  
Paper Thickness Adjustment  
Before loading cut sheet or tractor paper, you have to adjust the gap adjust lever on the front right  
side of the printer.  
To feed thicker papers through the printer, you need to move the gap adjust lever from its standard  
position.  
The lever moves the print head relative to the platen so that there is more room for the paper.  
Adjusting the gap adjust lever  
To obtain good quality printing and prevent problems (paper jam etc.), adjust the gap adjust lever  
as shown in the Figure 3-1. The scale number # 1 shown in Figure 3-1 identifies the standard  
paper thickness setting. This is the recommended setting for most papers. Use Table 3-1 to find  
the recommended setting for other papers.

can maximum increase to +15/60 inch  
LF/FF:  
Press the LF/FF key to adjust the distance in 1/60 inch decrements. You can  
maximum decrease to -15/60 inch  
To exit and save your new setting, press ONLINE key. The POWER LED and the ONLINE LED  
blink simultaneously for 3 times, then the POWER LED turns on. Your new tear-off setting value is  
saved.  
NOTE  
To exit without saving, just turn off the printer.

Appendix A  
Maintenance and Fault Finding  
Introduction  
Your printer requires very little routine maintenance. In fact, the best maintenance for the printer is  
preventative. If you have followed the suggestions for locating it in an area free of excessive dust  
and heat it will give you a long and trouble-free performance.  
Periodic cleaning, replacement of the ribbon, replacement of an occasional blown fuse and, after  
a very long time, replacement of the print head are about the only maintenance tasks you’ll need  
to carry out. We’ll cover these items in this chapter. However, before carrying out any of these  
tasks make sure that the printer has been switched off.  
Cleaning dirt and dust are the biggest enemies. The print head cover will keep most dirt from the  
printer mechanism, but occasional cleaning to remove paper particles is a good idea.

Cleaning the Cabinet  
Wipe soiled parts of the printer with a clean dry cloth. Remove bits of paper, etc., using tweezers.  
NOTE  
When cleaning, be careful not to scratch the equipment or to bend parts, etc.  
Cleaning the Carriage Shaft  
The carriage shaft is coated with oil, which attracts dust, etc. wipe solid parts with a soft cloth to  
clean them.

NOTE  
Over-application of oil may cause a build up of dust and dirt with resulting printer  
failure.  
Cleaning the platen  
Clean the platen with a soft cloth.  
Intervals and Materials for Cleaning  
Clean inside the printer in accordance with the following:  
NOTE  
Intervals cleaning:  
Materials:  
Every 6 months or 300 hours of operation.  
(Whichever comes first)  
Dry cloth (gauze or soft cloth)  
Ribbon Cartridge The inked ribbon in the cartridge is a continuous loop and will print several  
million characters before needing replacement. When printed characters begin to appear feint, it  
is time to replace ribbon cartridge.  
Replacing the ribbon is a simple matter of taking out the old cartridge and replacing it with a new  
one. Before removing the old cartridge always turn off the power and allow the print head to cool,  
as it can be extremely hot. Then slide the print head to the left edge to avoid damage to the print  
head cable. See the ribbon installation section in Chapter 2 for details.  
Problems And Solutions  
The following are some of the common problems, which you may encounter when using the  
printer. By implementing the solutions suggested, you should be able to resolve them.  
Printer is “Dead” No Light, No Action Make sure that it is plugged in, check both ends of the  
power cable. Make sure the power switch is turned on. Test the socket with another appliance to  
make sure it is working, check the fuse in the plug attached to the power cable. Take your printer  
to your dealer to be serviced.  
Printer Won’t Work Be sure that the printer cable is plugged into both the printer and the  
computer. Make sure that there is paper inserted and the ONLINE LED is on.  
Printing is Feint Be sure that the ribbon cartridge is installed correctly. It must be fitted securely  
into place and the ribbon must pass between the print head and the ribbon mark. Adjust the gap  
adjust lever (move it upward). Replace the ribbon. Replace the print head.  
26  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Printing is Smudged The ribbon is in front of the ribbon mask. Remove it and then insert it  
correctly. Adjust the gap adjust lever (move it downward).  
Poor Dot Positioning If poor dot positioning occurs, the horizontal dot alignment has to be  
performed by an authorized technician.  
Characters On The Screen Don’t Match The Printed Characters Many graphics characters  
and special symbols are produced by different ASCII codes on each make of computer and printer.  
Compare the character set charts in your computer manual with the printer character sets.  
You Selected A Printer Driver In Your Application Program But The Codes Don’t Do The  
Right Thing (Or Anything) On The Printer Contact your software manufacture to check if a  
driver for your printer is available.  
The Paper Jams Frequently When Using Continuous Forms Make sure that the incoming and  
outgoing paper is straight. Be sure that the incoming paper is not sticking.  
The Paper Jams When Doing Reverse Paper Feeds Be sure that the lid is shut correctly. Don’t  
tear off continuous forms while you are printing. With wider paper the right edge of the first page  
may not be flat against the platen. Increase the top margin or advance to the second sheet before  
you start printing.

as shown below.
