Power Switch Cover
You can use the enclosed power switch cover to make sure that the power switch is not accidentally pressed. Just press the cover into place to install it.
WARNING:
If an accident occurs when the power switch cover is attached, immediately unplug the power supply cable to avoid fire.
Installing the Roll Paper
Note:
Do not use paper rolls that have the paper glued or taped to the core because they might cause a paper jam.
To prevent paper jams, make sure that nothing obstructs paper coming out of the paper exit, and do not pull the paper out of the printer.

English
Installing the Ribbon
Use the EPSON ERC-32. The use of any ribbon cassettes other than those approved by EPSON may damage the printer and will void the warranty.
1. Turn on the printer. Turn the knob on the ribbon cassette. Open the front cover of the printer, and insert the new ribbon.
2. Turn the knob 2 or 3 times, and check the ribbon position.
Inserting Slip Paper
Note:
Be sure that the slips are flat, without curls, folds, or wrinkles.

Troubleshooting
Error light on or blinking.
The print head temperature may be extremely high. Wait until
the print head cools and the printer resumes printing automatically.
Make sure that the roll paper and unit cover are properly
closed.
Turn off the printer, and check for a paper jam. The autocutter may be jammed. See the description below. Turn off the power, wait several seconds, and then turn it on
again. If the error remains, contact your qualified service person.
The autocutter is jammed or the roll paper cover will not open.
1. Turn off the printer, and open the unit cover.
2. Then turn the knob (A) until you see a pin (B) in the opening.
Cleaning the Thermal Print Head
CAUTION:
After printing, the thermal print head can be very hot. Be careful not to touch it. Also let it cool before you clean it. Do not damage the thermal print head by touching it with your fingers or any hard object.
To keep good print quality, remove paper dust from the thermal print head as follows.

TM-H6000II with Image Scanner User’s Manual 9
English
Be sure that the printer is turned off. Open the roll paper cover and clean the thermal element (the green part) of the thermal print head with a cotton swab moistened with an alcohol solvent (ethanol, methanol, or IPA).
Clean the thermal print head periodically (generally every 3 months) to maintain receipt print quality.
.
MICR Reading/Image Scanning/Printing (Factory installed options)
With the scanning function, when a check is inserted into the printer, the check image is digitized and stored, which saves check processing time and cost. EPSON recommends the following sequence for single-pass processing. The single pass eliminates the need to turn the check paper over.
1. MICR reading
2. Pre-scanning
3. Endorsement printing (printing on back)
4. Printing on front
5. VOID printing
6. Scanning
Notes on Using the Image Scanner
Be sure to include the pre-scanning step because it can minimize as much as possible problems of decreasing image data quality caused by environmental temperature, wear of scanner parts, great variation in color shading of the background of a check, and input voltage fluctuation.
The quality of image scanning on the front of a check may be reduced by a large variation in density of an ink ribbon cassette.
Be sure to consider these other conditions that may reduce image quality:
Extremely low density of handwriting on the front of a check.
Extremely high density of the background of a check.
Page 10
10 TM-H6000II with Image Scanner User’s Manual
English
An extremely large variation in the density and color tone of the
background of a check.
Many folds or wrinkles in a check.
Exposure of the image scanning part of the printer to strong
sunlight.
A foreign object, such as sand, entering the printer and
scratching the glass surface of the scanner.
CAUTION:
Do not insert checks with staples in them. This may cause paper jams, MICR reading errors, and damage to the MICR head.
Be sure the checks are flat, without curls, folds, or wrinkles.
1. Wait until the SLIP light blinks. Then insert the check face up with the right side of the check against the right side of the paper guide as far as it will go. Be sure that the MICR characters are on the right.
2. The printer will detect the check and start drawing it in. When the printer starts drawing it in, let go of the check immediately. When the printer ejects the check and the SLIP light starts blinking again, remove the check by pulling it straight out; do not pull it at an angle.
Cleaning the MICR Mechanism
Foreign matter in the mechanism can cause MICR reading errors. Clean the MICR head with a moistened cleaning sheet approximately every 12 months.
MICR characters on this side face up
Page 11
TM-H6000II with Image Scanner User’s Manual 11
English
Use the following or an equivalent commercially available cleaning sheet:
PRESAT brand (KIC) “CHECK READER CLEANING CARD”
Note:
Be sure not to use an adhesive cleaning sheet.
Follow the steps below:
1. Load roll paper in the printer, turn off the power, then open the roll paper cover and turn the power back on while holding down the RELEASE button.
2. Press the RELEASE button 7 times, then close the roll paper cover. The printer prints the following message on receipt paper, and the SLIP light flashes.
3. Insert the cleaning sheet like a standard check.
CAUTION:
Be sure that the sheet is inserted with the correct side up and that it is inserted in the correct direction.
Use a cleaning sheet only one time; then discard it.
4. When the sheet is ejected, press the RELEASE button, and remove the sheet from the printer.
Notes on using the MICR reader
Do not install the printer near any magnetic fields. Be especially careful where you install your display device, and be sure to check the recognition rate of the MICR reader with the display device in place.
Make sure that the printer is not subjected to any impact or vibration when it is performing a MICR reading.
Endorsement Printing
If your printer has the optional endorsement printing mechanism, install the endorsement ribbon following the steps below:
Use the EPSON ERC-41. The use of any ribbon cassettes other than those approved by EPSON may damage the printer and will void the warranty.
Page 12

English
Note:
Be sure to turn on the power before installing a ribbon cassette.
1. Turn the ribbon cassette knob. Then open the unit cover.
2. Inside the printer, push the levers backward to open the unit.
Note:
Do not open the unit during printing.
3. Insert the ribbon and turn the knob again to seat the ribbon; then close the printer.
Cleaning the Scanner
The glass part of the scanner may become dirty due to ink or paper dust, which can decrease the image quality. To avoid this, clean the glass part every 12 months.
1. Open the unit cover.
2. Inside the printer, push the levers backward to open the unit.
3. Wipe the glass gently with a soft, dry cloth.
