Frequently Asked Questions - LC-90 STAR
How do I install the printer driver on my computer?
Connect the printer to your PC using a Centronics parallel cable. Then install the driver from the included floppy disk or download a compatible driver from the Star website. The LC-90 generally works with ESC/P emulation, so generic Epson LQ drivers may also function.
How do I change the ink ribbon?
Power off the printer and open the front cover. Remove the old ribbon cartridge by gently pulling it upward. Align the new cartridge over the print head, then press down until it clicks. Ensure the ribbon is positioned between the print head and platen, then close the cover.
How do I clean the print head?
Turn off the printer and let the print head cool. Gently remove any dust or ink residue using a lint-free cloth slightly moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Avoid touching the pins with bare hands. Reassemble and run a self-test to verify cleanliness.
What types of paper are compatible?
The LC-90 supports continuous fanfold paper, single sheets, and multi-part forms (up to carbonless copies). Use paper widths from 3 to 10 inches, with standard A4 or letter being most common.
How do I connect the printer to my computer?
Use a parallel interface cable (Centronics 36-pin) to connect the printer to your computer's parallel port. For modern systems without a parallel port, use a USB-to-parallel adapter. Configure the printer settings in your OS to use the correct printer port.
How do I resolve paper jams?
Turn off the printer and carefully pull the paper backward out of the paper path. If the paper tears, open the rear access and remove all fragments. Check the paper guide alignment and ensure the paper is not misfed. Restart the printer and run a self-test.
How do I set the print quality?
Use the printer's control panel switches to select Draft, NLQ (Near Letter Quality), or Graphics mode. Alternatively, send commands from your software. The LC-90 defaults to draft for speed and NLQ for better readability.
How do I ensure the printer is safe to use?
Place the printer on a stable, flat surface with good ventilation. Plug it into a properly grounded power outlet. Do not operate near water or in humid conditions. Unplug before cleaning or servicing. Keep fingers and loose garments away from rollers and print head.
Where can I get replacement parts like a new ribbon or print head?
Genuine Star replacement ribbons are widely available online and at office supply stores. The print head can be replaced but requires some technical skill; contact an authorized Star service center for repair or parts ordering. Refer to the manual's spare parts list.
