cover. Then, this tilting is automatically corrected. Do not open printer cover during
printing. Do not hold the paper coming from the outlet during printing, this may cause a
paper jam. For using auto paper cutter at full cut mode, please remove printed paper which
was cut before next printing starts.

4.5 How to RemoveRemaining Roll Paper
(1) Open the printer cover.
(2) Holding the paper guide, pull it in the arrowed direction. The platen roller is detached from the print he ad
and the remaining paper can bepulled out.
CAUTION Be sure to use the paper guide for pulling out paper. (Opposite direction).
4.6 Removing Paper Jam
(1) Open the printer cover.
(2) Cut off the roll paper near the paper inlet.
(3) Detaching, from the chassis hook, the head springs on both sides by moving them in arrowed direction, lift
them up.
(4) Lift up the paper guide knob and the platen roller unit can be detached.
(5) Completely remove the roll paper remains inside of the paper course.
(6) Confirming direction of the platen roller unit, insert it into the inside of bush guide of chassis.
(7) Lightly pushing the platenroller unit, fitthe headsprings on both sides on the hook part.

CAUTION Since print head a nd motor are hot, do not carry out this action right after printing. In case
of moving the head springs, do not move it beyond the removable range of the springs.
For removing the remaining paper, do not touch the surface of heating unit of the print
head by naked hands or bya metal piece etc.
Except for the necessary case such like removing paper jam, do not remove the platen
roller unit. In case of inserting roll paper, make sure to confirm this was inserted correctly.

4.7 Canceling Cutter Lock
(1) As referring to "4.6 Removing Paper Jam", remove the roll paper remains inside the paper course.
(2) Press the FEED switch. The auto cutter performs initialization, returning the blade to home position and
canceling alarm state.
(3) When the blade does not return to ho me position or alarm state is not canceled by Item 2operation, turn off
the power switch and, by turning the emergency knob inside the hole at the bottom of the main unit in the
arrowed direction, return the auto cutter blade to home position.
(4) Fully remove remaining paper on the cutter blade through using tweezers.
CAUTION Since print head and motor are hot, do not carry out this action right after printing. For
removing the remaining paper, donot touch the surface of heating unit of the print head by
naked hands or by a metal piece etc.
Paper cutter enable/disable can be selected by dip switch setting. In case of using this
printer at p aper cutter disable mode, make sure to confirm the cutter blade is in the home
position. In case the cutter blade is not in the home position, return this blade to the home
positionby followingthe above procedure.

Print Head overheat : To protect print head from excessive heat, in case the temperature of print head goes
high(approx. 65°C or over), head temperature sensor works and has ERROR LED
illuminate, then stops printing operation. After head temperature is cooled (Approx.
60°C or less), printing operation automatically starts.
Paper near end : When the remaining of roll paper goes scarce, paper near end sensor located on the
side of roller portion of the upper cover works, and has ERROR LED illuminate to
show the remaining of roll paper is getting scarce. (See “setting of paper end detector
effective for outputting a signal for no paper” and “setting of paper end sensor
effective for print stop” in the chapter of print control function.)
Paper end : When the roll paper runs out completely , the paper sensor located in the paper course
near to p rint head detects the end of print paper and has ERROR LED illuminate, then
stops printing operation. (See “setting of paper end sensor effective for outputting a
signal for no paper” and “setting of paper end sensor effective for print stop” in the
chapter of print control function.) When the paper is inserted into the paper course
near to print head, rollpaper is automatically loaded.
Cutter motor lock : In case that cutter position sensor locates in the auto cutter unit keeps ON or OFF for
one second or more during the operation of cutter motor, this sensor detects it as motor
lock state. And then, this stops cutter operation and printing operation. (See the
chapter of 4.5 “cancellation of cuter lock”)

With this pressed once shortly, paper is fed by one line. With this kept pressed, lines are fed continuously .
In case of macro execution wait, this is executed by pressing FEED switch.

(1) Start Bit
In 1/2 bit from the mark-to-space starting edge, state is read once again. Wh en "space" state is confirmed, it
is recognized as the start bit. If it is "mark" state, it is not taken as the start bit. Without taking it as an error,
detection of a start bit is carried out once again.

Data bit and parity bit are sampled at 1/2 start bit for time length equal to 1 bit. The state thus sampled is
taken as the data for the bit concerned. Bits are named as Bit 0, Bit 1, ..... parity bit counted from the one
