1.4 Paper Roll Supply Device

1) Supply method: Drop-in paper roll

2) Roll paper end sensor: Detects whether paper is present or not.

When the sensor detects a paper-end, t he pr inter stops printing.

Printing resumes when paper is installed and the printer cover is closed.

a) Detecti on method: Microswitch

NOTE: If paper other than the speci fied one is used, the paper roll end sensor may

not work correctly.

3) Roll paper near-end sensor: Detec ts a near-end of a paper r oll.

If t he sensor i s enabl ed by ESC c 4, t he pr inter stops printing.

a) Detecti on method: Microswitch b) Near-end adjustment: Can be adjusted by changing the posit ion of t he adjusting screw. Fix ed position #1 (approximately 23 mm { 0.9"})

#2 (approximately 27 mm {1.06"})

NOTE: If r oll paper whose paper spool is out of the specified r ange is used, the roll

paper near-end detect ion may not work correctly.

6) Notes on preprinting on the r ec or ding surface of thermal paper When using thermal paper, the recording surface of which has been preprinted, sticking (a

problem of the thermal head sticking to t he surface of t he thermal paper dur ing printing) may occur, causing faulty printing and other problems. It is, theref ore, strongly recomm ended to avoi d using preprinted therm al paper. If such paper must be used, conduct prepri nting tests under the conditions recomm ended by the paper m anufactur er (t ype of i nk/ pri nt c ondit i ons) and confi r m that no faulty print ing or any other pr oblems occur before you use it for ac tual printing.

NOTES: 1. Notes on using the Epson PS-180 power supply unit

If the printing is continuously performed with the high print ratio, the overcurrent limitation might be operated. Therefore, the printing length must not exceed the following values when printi ng with high pri nt ration.

Print r atio: Number of dots being ener gized per one dotline / T otal number of dots

per one dotli ne (512 dots)

Print ratio 80% 100% Print example

Print length 30 mm or less 20 mm or less

If t he overcurrent l imitati on is operated when printing i s continuously performed wit h a high print ratio, uneven print density or a low voltage error may occur.

2. Notes on using the power supply uni t other than t he E pson specified one ( P S - 180)

• The current consumption of this printer is as shown in Figure 1.9.1. User must consider these values when the user provides the power supply unit other than the Epson specified one. Note that the current consumption may increase if the printer is used in a low temperature or the pri nt density i s set t o “ dar k ” .

• The power supply unit with a small power capacity may not operate the printer correctly.

• Contact Epson if you need more detail ed infor mati on.

4. Be sure to use the pri nter power supply (connector pin 4) f or the drawer power source.

5. The resistance of the drawer kick-out solenoid must not be less than the specified.

Otherwise, an overcurr ent could damage the solenoid.

6. Do not connect telecom munication network to the drawer kick-out connector.
