1-5 Installing or Replacing the Paper

CAUTIONS
Be sure to use paper rolls that meet the specifications. Do not use paper rolls that have the paper glued to the core because the printer may not detect the paper end correctly.
Do not use paper wider than 80 mm or plastic paper tube when using a printer that specifies 80 mm paper.
1-5-1 Make sure that the printer is not receiving data; otherwise, data may be lost. 1-5-2 Open the paper roll cover by pressing the Push button.
CAUTIONS
Do not open the print cover while the printer is operating. This may damage the printer. 1-5-3 Remove any existing used paper roll core when replacing the paper roll 1-5-4 Insert the paper roll as shown.
Rev. 1. 00
- 16 -
1-5-5 Check the orientation of the roll paper when inserting it into the printer.
1-5-6 Pull out a small amount of paper, as shown. Then close the cover.
CAUTIONS
When closing the cover, press the center of printer cover firmly to prevent paper miss-loading.
1-5-7 Tear off the paper as shown.
Rev. 1. 00
- 17 -

1-6 Using 83mm Paper

Use of the partition depends on the width of the paper. 1-6-1 Remove the partition as shown in the following picture when using 83 mm paper.
NOTE
Partition is installed at the factory for 80 mm paper .
Fig 1 Fig 2
CAUTIONS
Do not rotate the partition while removing it from the printer as shown in Fig 1 because the holder may be damaged. Lift up the partition as shown in Fig 2 to remove it safely.
1-6-2 The rest of the installation process after this step is the same as the procedure described in 1-5.

1-7 Recommended Papers

- TF50KS-E (Paper Thickness: 65μm): Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd.
- PD 160R (Paper Thickness: 75μm): New Oji Paper Mfg. Co., Ltd.
- P350 (Paper Thickness: 62μm): Kansaki Specialty Paper, Inc. (USA)
CAUTIONS
Use of papers other than those recommended above may damage TPH or degrade the printing quality and our company is not responsible for the damage caused by non­recommended papers. If you have to use other products, we recommend that you use papers with a similar level of quality to the recommended ones.

1-8 Adjustments and Settings

The SRP-F310/F312/F313II is set up at the factory to be appropriate for almost all users. It does, however, offer some settings for users with special requirements.
It has DIP switches that allow you to change communication settings, such as handshaking and parity check, as well as print density.
One of the features of the SRP-F310/F312/F313II is to detect the remaining level of paper. Paper LED will be turned on if the paper sensor detects that the remaining level of paper is lower than the preset level. This warning level can be changed by rotating the paper sensor tab forwar d or back ward (refer to the followi ng pictur e) .

1-9 Using the Printer

Control Panel
POWER The POWER light is on whenever the printer is on.
ERROR This indicates an error.
PAPER This light indicates the near end of the paper roll. Install a new paper roll and the printer will continue printing. W hen the light blinks, it indicates the self-test printing standby state or macro execution Standby state when the macro execution command is used.
FEED Press the FEED button once to advance paper one line. You can also hold down the FEED button to feed paper continuously.

1-10 Connecting the Computer

You need an appropriate interface cable. 1-10-1 Plug the cable connector securely into the printer’s interface connector. 1-10-2 Tighten the screws on both sides of the cable connector.
1-10-3 Attach the other end of the cable to the computer.

1-11 Connecting the Power Supply

CAUTIONS
When connecting or disconnecting the power supply from the printer, make sure that the power supply is not plugged into an electrical outlet. Otherwise you may damage the power supply or the printer.
If the power supply’s rated voltage and your outlet’s voltage do not match, contact your dealer for assistance. Do not plug in the power cord. Otherwise, you may damage the power supply or the printer.
1-11-1 Make sure that the printer’s power switch is turned off, and the power supply’s
power cord is unplugged from the electrical outlet.
1-11-2 Check the label on the power supply to make sure that the voltage required by the
power supply matches that of your electrical outlet.
1-11-3 Plug in the power supply’s cable as shown below. Notice that the flat side of the
plug faces down.
NOTE
To remove the DC cable connector, make sure that the power supply’s power cord is unplugged; then grasp the connector at the arrow and pull it straight out.

2. Self Test

The self-test checks whether the printer has any problems. If the printer does not function properly, contact your dealer. The self-test checks the following:
2-1 Make sure paper roll has been installed properly. 2-2 Turn on the power while holding down the FEED button with beep. The self-test begins. 2-3 The self-test prints the current printer status, which provides the control ROM version
and the DIP switch setting.
2-4 After printing the current printer status, self-test printing will print the following,
and pause (The PAPER LED light blinks).
SELF-TEST PRINTING.
PLEASE PRESS THE FEED BUTTON.
2-5 Press the FEED button to continue printing.
The printer prints a pattern using the built-in character set.
2-6 The self-test automatically ends and cuts the paper after printing the following.
*** COMPLETED ***
2-7 The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it completes the self-test.

This feature allows experienced users to see exactly what data is coming to the printer. This can be useful in finding software problems. When you turn on the hexadecimal dump function, the printer pri nts all commands and dat a in hexadecimal format along w it h a guide section to help you find specific commands.
To use the hexadecimal dump func ti on, foll o w these steps. 3-1 After you make sure that the printer is off, open the cover. 3-2 Turn on the printer, while holding down the FEED button with beep. 3-3 Close the cover, then the printer enters the hexadecimal dump mode. 3-4 Run any software program that sends data to the printer. The printer will print all the
codes it receives in a two-column format. The first column contains the hexadecimal codes and the second column gives the ASCII characters that corresponds to the codes.
A period (.) is printed for each code that has no ASCII equivalent.
During the hex dump, all commands except DLE EOT and DLE ENQ are disabled. 3-5 When the printing finishes, turn off the printer. 3-6 Turn on the printer and then the hexadecimal mode is off.
