printer. They are designed to help you keep your printer working at its best.

- Plug your power supply into an appropriate grounded outlet.

- Place your printer on a flat hard surface, like a tabletop.

- Keep your printer out of direct sunlight.

1. Remove the printer cover by pressing on the

groove patterns to pop the front edge up. Lift off the cover.

2. Press the rocker switch to the left. The light will

go off.

3. Unroll several inches of the paper.

4. Cut a straight edge on the paper roll if it is jagged.

This will facilitate the entry of the paper into the printer.

5. Slide the paper through the slot connecting the paper

compartment and the printer compartment. You can slide it in about one-quarter inch before it stops.

6. While holding the paper in place, press the rocker

switch to the Paper Feed position. The printer will activate, and a rubber roller will pull the paper into the printer compartment. Hold the switch in the Paper Feed position until the paper emerges from the top of the printer mechanism.

7. When an inch of paper has emerged from the top of

the printer, release the Paper Feed button.

8. Now pull the paper through the printer, until several

inches are exposed.

9. Slide the paper through the slot in the printer cover.

10. Push the back of the printer cover down and into

place.

11. Press the front of the printer cover down to lock in

place.

12. Put the paper spindle into the paper roll as shown

below, and place the roll with the spindle onto the snaps near the back of the printer. Turn the paper roll to take up any slack in the paper feeding to the printer. Make sure the roll of paper turns freely. If it does not turn freely, the paper will jam and will possibly damage the printer mechanism.

1. Attach the appropriate cable between the printer and your host device. The connector on the printer side is “keyed” so that you cannot plug the cable in the wrong way. This means that the pins should be positioned so that a slight pressure will seat the cable properly. Do not force the pins in. Doing so could damage the cable.

2. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer. Plug the transformer into an appropriate AC outlet. The

unit will power up automatically and print means the printer is ready to print.

The Paper Feed switch on the printer is a rocker type switch. Push the left side of the rocker switch to toggle the printer on and offline. Push the right side of the switch to advance the paper.

Your printer is now ready for printing.

The printer stores characters for printing until one of two things happens:

1. Its line buffer is filled.

2. It receives a line feed (hexadecimal 0A) or a carriage return (hexadecimal 0D) code.

When (1) or (2) occurs, the printer prints out the contents of its line buffer. If the buffer is empty when the carriage return is received, the printer simply advances the paper one line, leaving a blank line in the printout.

Maintenance

When printing becomes faint or difficult to see, replace the ribbon in your printer with an Epson ERC-09 cartridge ribbon.

If your printer is used infrequently, the print impression may become weak because the ribbon has dried out. To advance the ribbon to a new section, hold down the Paper Feed switch for several seconds.

Below are the steps for replacing the ribbon:

1. Turn the printer offline.

2. Four small grooves are embossed on each side of the printer cover. Push down on one or both of these areas until the printer cover tilts.

3. When the printer cover is tilted up, lift it completely off.

4. Push down on the right side of ribbon cartridge where it is marked “PUSH”. Remove the cartridge.
