Initializing the mechanism(with TM-L90)
You can initialize the mechanism (paper feed operation) with the following procedure.
1.Open the roll paper cover.
2.Close the roll paper cover.
3.Press FEED.
•If the roll paper is inserted after the roll paper cover is opened and closed, the printer waits for FEED to be pressed, and then the PAPER OUT LED flashes. In this case, press FEED.
•Caution: When memory switch 8-6 is set to "ON," If the roll paper is inserted when the power is off, or if the roll paper cover is opened and closed then the power is turned on, press FEED.
Recovering from errors
When error recovery with FEED is enabled by memory switch 8-1, pressing FEED when a paper layout error occurs recovers from the error and performs automatic paper layout.

Product Overview 1-7 |
The printer is normally turned on/off with this switch. You can select whether to enable or disable the power switch using the DIP switches.
When the DIP switches are set to OFF (power switch enabled), the power switch controls the TM printer as follows.
When the TM is turned off:
The TM is powered ON when the power supply switch is pressed more than 1 second.
When the TM is turned on:
The TM is powered OFF when the power supply switch is pressed more than 3 seconds. If for some reason pressing the power switch even more than 10 seconds does not turn the power off, the TM executes a forced power off.
Note:
When the DIP switches are set to ON (power switch disabled), use direct control of the printer with ESC/ POS commands. (For details, refer to “TM Printer Operation Performed When Power Supply Switch is Disabled” on page 5-1.) The printer may not operate normally when using OPOS or the Advanced Printer Driver with the DIP switches set to ON.
Note:
When using OPOS or the Advanced Printer Driver, do not set the DIP switches to ON (power switch disabled). The printer may not operate normally if the DIP switches are set to ON.
Note:
Make sure to check whether the AC adapter is connected to the power supply before turning on the power switch of the printer.
1.2.5 Power switch cover
To prevent unintentional contact or improper changes and to improve the appearance, use a cover. When using the power switch cover, to reset the TM printer, press the power switch through the hole in the power switch cover.
1.2.6 Mode switch (TM-L90 peeler specification only)
With the TM-L90 peeler specification, you can select the peeling issuing mode and continuous issuing mode with the mode switch. The mode switch switches between the peeling issuing mode and continuous issuing mode.
The mode switch is inside the top left of the printer when the roll paper cover is opened.
Note:
Be sure that the peeler cover and the roll paper cover are open when switching the modes. The setting is effective when the power is turned on or the covers are closed. If the mode is switched with the covers closed, the setting will not be changed.
Be sure not to use a ball point pen to switch the modes. A ball point pen can damage the switch.

2.2.2 Instructions for Installation
The TM-L90 can be placed vertically (paper outlet in front), horizontally (paper outlet at the top), or attached to a wall (using the optional wall hanging set WH-10).
With the TM-L90 with peeler, you can use it vertically or wall mounted with either peeling issuing or with continuous issuing (not using the peeler).
Note:
For the TM-L90 with Peeler, horizontal installation is prohibited to avoid jams caused by re-sticking of backing paper and a label.
The illustration below shows the vertical installation for the TM-L90 with Peeler.
Note:
To hang the printer on the wall, see the Wall Hanging Bracket Set Installation Manual provided with the WH-10 for instructions.
It is recommended to take some measures so that the printer will be stable when paper is being loaded or a drawer is being used. The DF-10 (velcro fastening) for fixing the printer is provided as an option.
When using the printer with the peeling issuing mode, be sure to install the printer so that a peeled label will not contact the used backing paper. Re-sticking of a peeled label to the backing paper will cause jams.
Rev. B |
Setup 2-3 |
For the TM-L90, when changing the way of installation, you need to adjust the following items:
•Control panel label used for horizontal installation
•The location of the Roll Paper Near-End Detector
The following figure shows the TM-L90 placed both vertically and horizontally.
When you install the printer horizontally, attach the control panel label as shown in the illustration below.
Control panel label
Note:
To hang the printer on the wall, see the Wall Hanging Bracket Set Installation Manual provided with the WH-10 for instructions.
When you use TM-L90 horizontally, peel off the backing sheet of the paper exit guide and attach it as shown below to prevent cut paper from falling inside the printer after paper is cut by the autocutter.
