Power Switch
When DIP switch 1 is OFF (power switch: enabled), the power is turned ON/OFF. Press and
hold the switch for 1 second to turn the power on, and 3 seconds to turn the power off. After
turning the power on, approximately 30 seconds is required before printing is possible.
Before turning on the printer, be sure to check that the AC adapter is connected to the
power supply.
It is recommended that a power-off processing command be sent to the printer before
turning the power off. Doing so allows the latest maintenance counter value to be saved.
(Maintenance counter values are generally saved every two minutes.)

The printer's NV memory stores data even after the printer power is turned off. NV memory
contains the following memory areas for the user:
•NV graphics memory
• User NV memory
•Memory switches
•User-defined page
•Maintenance counter
•Paper layout settings
As a guide, NV memory rewriting should be 10 times or less a day when you program
applications.
NV Graphics Memory
Graphics, such as shop logos to be printed on receipts, can be stored.
Use the TM Flash Logo Setup Utility to register graphics.
User NV Memory
Yo u can store and read text data for multiple purposes, such as for storing a note including
customizing or maintenance information of the printer.
Memory Switches
Yo u can make a variety of printer settings, such as print density and printing speed.
For more information about memory switches, see
"Setting the Memory Switches" on page 96.
User-defined Page
Yo u can store character data in the user-defined page (character code table: page 255) so that you
can also print characters not resident in the printer.

Chapter 1 Product Overview
Maintenance Counter
With this function, printer information, such as the number of line feeds, the number of autocuts,
and printer operation time after the printer starts working, is automatically stored in NV
memory. Refer to the counter information when performing regular maintenance and replacing
s.
part
Paper layout settings
Paper layouts can be registered in this printer.
Registration is performed through panel operations or by executing commands.
If a paper layout is not registered, the printer will automatically determine the layout. The
results of this determination are temporarily saved in the printer. Whenever the printer is
turned on or the roll paper cover is closed, the paper is fed and the printer automatically
determines the paper layout.
(See "Auto paper determination" on page 95.)

Installing the Printer
Although this printer is normally installed and used vertically (with the paper discharged to the
front), it can also be installed and used horizontally (with the paper discharged to the top).
Do not place the printer in dusty locations.
Do not knock or strike the printer. This may cause defective print.
Do not catch cables or place foreign matter under the printer.
If you install the printer horizontally, affix the control panel labels for horizontal use.
(see "Control panel label for horizontal use" on page 56)
In addition, if the auto cutter is used to make full cuts with the printer installed horizontally, the
included paper discharge guide must also be installed.
"Installing the paper discharge guide" on page 56)
(see

Control panel label for horizontal use
When using the printer in the horizontal position, affix the control panel label for horizontal use
as shown in the figure.
Installing the paper discharge guide
If the auto cutter is used to make full cuts with the printer installed horizontally, the paper
discharge guide must be installed as shown in the figure.
This will prevent the cut paper from falling into the paper path, which could cause double cuts
and paper jams.
If roll paper with an inner diameter smaller than 25.4mm and an outer diameter smaller than
31.4mm is used, paper jams are likely to occur. Therefore, do not install the paper
discharge guide.

Changing the Paper Width
This printer is shipped from the factory with the roll paper width set to 80mm. To use roll paper
with a width of 38mm to 70mm, install a roll paper spacer using the following procedure.
Since it is possible for some areas of the printer head and the auto cutter blades to
become worn through direct contact with the platen, it is not possible to change from a
narrow width to a wider width once operation has started.
To change the paper width, use the memory switch to change the paper width settings.
To use roll paper with a width of 61mm to 70mm, fold the tabs in two
1
locations on the roll paper spacer.
Even if the tabs are folded, you can still use roll paper with a width of 38mm to 60mm.
Open the roll paper cover.

included screws.
Set the roll paper spacers with an additional margin of 0.5mm over the maximum value for
the width of the roll paper. Use a ruler if necessary.

Chapter 2 Setup
Adjusting the position of the roll paper near end detector
The position of the roll paper near end detector must be adjusted in the following situations.
•When the installation direction of the printer is changed (from vertical to horizontal, or vice-
versa)
•When changing the remaining amount of roll paper detected by the near end detector
Since the center of the roll paper has a slightly different shape than the specifications
indicate, the near end cannot be detected precisely.
In order for the near end detector to correctly detect the amount of roll paper remaining,
use receipt paper with an inner diameter of 12mm or greater and an outer diameter of
18mm or greater; all other roll paper should have an inner diameter of 25.4mm and an
outer diameter of 31.4mm.
When shipped from the factory, this printer is adjusted for use in the vertical position.

is used to dismiss the paper layout error, the paper layout will be automatically reset according
to the paper that is loaded.
In some instances it will not be possible to use this setting if die-cut label paper with
black marks is used. If so, use a command to make the setting manually.

Chapter 2 Setup
Auto paper determination
If no paper layout is registered and paper is loaded into the printer, the printer will attempt to
automatically determine the type of paper every time the printer is turned on or the roll paper
cover is closed.
During auto paper determination, the printer will automatically feed the paper to determine its
ype. If the loaded paper is die-cut label paper or receipt paper with black marks, the printer will
t
measure the intervals between labels or black marks and saves this data temporarily in memory.
The printing area is not set according to the paper width.

Selection of the NV graphics memory capacity
Since the NV graphics data memory region and the user NV memory region share the same area,
the capacity that can be set for the NV graphics memory will vary according to the capacity set
for the user NV memory. If a capacity is set that is not possible for the NV graphics memory, the
capacity will be automatically changed to a val
ue that possible.

Depending on print conditions, such as print duty and print head temperature, print
speed is automatically adjusted, which may cause white lines due to intermittent print
(the motor sometimes stops). To avoid this, keep the print speed constant by setting it
lower.
If the printing speed is set to Level 9, you should use high-speed printing paper (refer to
"Paper Specifications" on page 35
(maximum printing speed)
Guide
) .
