1. INTRODUCTION

The CBM-710, CBM-720, CBM-730 and CBM-750 are dot impact printers which can be utilized for a wide range of applications, such as data communications terminals, ECR terminals and kitchen printers. High speed performance is made possible by a bidirectional printing system and, since these printers are compact, lightweight and equipped with an abundance of functions, they can be easily employed for a variety of different tasks.

The CBM-720 and CBM-750 have a built-in automatic cutter capable of performing a partial cut (three connecting points remaining) or full cut (one connecting point remaining), which can be controlled through printer command codes.

Before using your printer, please read this manual carefully to be certain you have an adequate understanding of its operation.

2) If the alarm lamp is on, turn it off by pressing the line switch.

3) Feed the paper out of the printer by pressing the LF switch or pull it out from the paper exit.

4) Install a new paper roll. (Refer to section 6.4 (1) Installing the paper.)

5) When the line switch is pressed again, the printer enters select (on line) status and printing may be resumed once again.

6.5 Self Print Function

Your printer has a built in self print function for the purpose of checking print operation without the need for any

other external device.

Procedures for Actuating the Self Print Function

[1] Be sure that a paper roll is properly loaded.

[2] Confirm that the inked ribbon is properly installed and turn the power switch off.

[3] Turn the power switch ON while pressing the LF switch, and release the LF switch after the self print

operation has begun.

In the above operation, the se print unction will stop automatically when completed.

However, the self print function will not operate without paper when the printer is set for internal process of the paper end detection function.

6.6 Paper End Detector

Your printer provides a paper end detection function which is able to detect when the paper is near the end. In

addition. two different responses to this situation may be selected.

[1] Issue the PE signal to an external unit(s).

[2] Perform internal processing, whereby the buzzer is sounded and the print operation of your printer is

interrupted.
