Memory switch
Setting of various kinds of functions can be stored in memory. Settings remain stored in the memory even if the printer is turned off.
USB power supply OFF (When memory switch MSW6-3 is set to ON)
When the printer is connected to a PC by USB, turning off PC power or terminating the USB connection causes printer USB power to turn off three seconds later. This mode is canceled when the PC is turned back on or when a USB connection is established.
The POWER LED is unlit when USB power supply is OFF, and the power OFF state cannot
be identified.
Pressing POWER while USB power is off does not turn on power immediately. After a
while, USB power supply OFF is canceled and pressing POWER turns on power normally.
Paper saving functions
Memory switches MSW8-3 through MSW8-5 can be used to configure the settings below, which save paper.
•Top margin suppression The printer back feeds the paper before printing which reduces the blank space at the top edge of the paper. The back feed amount can be specified.
•Line gap reduce Automatically compresses the linefeed amount between lines. The compression ratio can be specified.
•Text compression vertical/horizontal Makes the print size smaller. The compression amount is specified by a combination of vertical and horizontal compression ratios.
Auto side shift (MSW8-6)
This function dissipates heat load during frequent heat generation by a vertical ruled line or other specific head heating element.
—16—
If no data is received within 15 seconds after each cut or print, the print position is
CAUTION
automatically slid N* dots to the right. The original print position is returned to at the next slide timing. * N is the MSW8-6 setting value.
Before configuring the top margin suppression setting, first remove any partially cut paper
from the printer. Failure to do so can cause the cut paper to be torn off by the next print operation, which can cause printer trouble.
Note the following precautions when using text compression.
• Compressed text is more difficult to read than the original text.
• Horizontally compressing text also makes the print range smaller, so the number of print lines does not change. Pay close attention to the print range when using narrow paper.
• Do not use compressed text when printing a bar code. Doing so may make the bar code unreadable.
If the right margin is too narrow, this may result in some print characters being cut off. This
function is disabled under initial settings. To enable this function, use MSW8-6 to specify an appropriate value for the maximum slide amount.

If SSP is enabled on the host PC, pairing can be achieved without additional operations. If SSP is disabled on the host PC, you will be prompted to input a passkey. Input the passkey as described below. Passkey Last four digits of the address on the self test printout (Letters A through F are uppercase)
Example: If the address is 01:23:45:67:89:AB the passkey is 89AB.
If you delete paring information from the host PC without deleting the corresponding pairing information on the printer, the printer may not show up if you detect devices again with the host PC. To delete printer pairing information, hold down the switch on the Bluetooth interface board for two seconds or more. Deleting pairing information on the printer will put the printer into discovery mode.
Auto reconnection
With iOS device Bluetooth communication, a connection between a paired iOS device and the printer is not automatically restored after it is lost. However, when auto reconnection is enabled, the printer tries to reconnect with an iOS device after two-way communication is enabled and automatically restores the connection.
This function is enabled when shipped from the factory. (MSW13-6) Auto reconnection can take some time to connect when the host is not an iOS device.
Even if the partner device is an iOS device, the conditions below can interfere with the auto
reconnection function.
• When you want Bluetooth communication to cut off after printing is complete
• When there are multiple iOS devices printing on the same printer
Under such conditions, disable auto reconnection.
Enabling and disabling auto reconnection
To change the setting of this feature, the following method is provided.
Press the FEED button 3 times during self test -> Auto reconnect = Valid
Press the FEED button 4 times during self test -> Auto reconnect = Invalid At the end of self test, new setting will be printed as Auto reconnect [Valid] or [Invalid]
