2-3. Loading the Paper Roll

Notes: 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 cannot detect the paper end correctly.

1. Turn off power switch.

2. Make sure that the printer is not receiving data; Otherwise, data may be lost.

3. Open the paper roll cover by pushing down the cover-open push button.

www.eposcom.ru

3. Remove the used paper roll core if there is one inside.

4. Insert new paper roll as shown.

5. Note the correct direction that the paper comes off the roll:

6. Pull out a small amount of paper as shown. Then, close the cover.

7. Tear off the paper as shown.

2-4. DIP SWITCH SETTING

The printer 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. Your printer has two sets of DIP switches. The functions of the switches are shown in the following tables.

Note : Turn power off unplug the printer. Open the Dip Switch cover to change settings.

4. Self Test

The self-test lets you know if your printer is operating properly. It checks the control circuits, printer mechanisms, print quality, ROM version and DIP switch settings.

This test is independent of any other equipment or software.

Running the self test

1. Make sure the printer is turned off and the printer cover is closed properly.

2. While holding down the FEED button, turn on the printer using the switch on the front of the printer to begin the self-test. The Self Test prints the printer settings, cuts the paper, then pauses: (Error LED On)

Self test Printing Please press the PAPER FEED button.

3. Press the FEED button to continue printing. The printer prints a pattern using the built-in character set.

4. The self test automatically ends and cuts the paper after printing the following:

*** Completed ***

The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it completes the self-test.

5. Hexadecimal Dump

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 hex dump hexadecimal format along with a guide section to help you find specific commands.

To use the hex dump feature, follow these steps:

1. After you make sure that the printer is off and Dip s/w 1-2 are set to ON, turn on the printer.

2. Run any software program that sends data to the printer. The printer prints “Hexadecimal Dump” and then 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 correspond to the codes.

Hexadecimal Dump 1B 21 00 1B 26 02 40 40 .!..& . @ @ 1B 25 01 1B 63 34 00 1B .%.. c4 .. 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 ABCDEFGH □ A period (.) is printed for each code that has no ASCⅡequivalent.

3. Turn off the printer, and make sure that Dip sw 1-2 are set to off.

4. Turn on the printer.
