Precautions When Installing the Power Supply Cover

A description of EMI standards is on the bottom of the printer. When the optional power supply cover (OT-BX88V) is installed, it is hard to check it. In such case, uninstall the power supply cover if necessary.

Part Names

See illustration A on page ii and the part names on page 1.

Control Panel

(Power) LED

This LED is on when the printer is on.

Error LED

This indicates an error.

Paper LED

On indicates a paper near end or out. Flashing indicates standby.

Feed button

This button feeds paper.

Installing the Printer Horizontally or Vertically

You can install the printer horizontally on a flat surface (with the paper exit on top) or vertically (with the paper exit at the front) by hanging it on a wall, using the optional WH-10 hanging bracket set.

WARNING:

When hanging the printer on the wall with the hanging bracket set, be sure to attach a connector cover to the printer.

Setting Up the Printer

To set up the printer, follow the steps below.

1. Connect the cables.

2. Attach the connector cover.

3. Arrange the cables.

4. Install the roll paper.

4 TM-T88V User’s Manual

Connecting the Cables

CAUTION:

For a serial interface, use a null modem cable. For a parallel interface, use an IEEE 1284 cable. For a USB interface, do not turn on the printer before installing the printer driver.

1. Make sure the printer is turned off.

2. Connect the AC cable and each interface cable to the connectors on the printer

back. For the shape of each connector, see illustration B on page ii. (Mounted interfaces vary by the printer model.)

3. Connect the interface cable to the computer.

4. Insert the AC cable plug into a power outlet.

Attaching the Connector Cover

Follow the steps below to attach the connector cover to protect the cables.

1. Turn over the printer.

2. Position the two hooks on both sides of the connector cover so that they hook

the printer case, as shown in illustration C on page ii.

3. Push the connector cover down to click onto the printer case. To remove the connector cover, turn the printer over, and push the connector

cover down while pushing both sides of the connector cover inward to detach the hooks from the printer case. See illustration D on page ii.

Arranging the Cables

Pass the cables through cable exits in the connector cover. The connector cover has cable exits on the back and both sides.

You can also route the serial, USB, or power cables out the front by passing them through the notch in the printer bottom. See illustration E on page iii.

If you want to pass the USB cable through the cable exit on the back, fit the cable under the hook on the printer to prevent the cable from coming off. See illustration F.

After the cable arrangement, turn over the printer, and make sure the cables are not pinched. See illustration G.

English

Installing Roll Paper

Follow the steps below to install the roll paper. If you want to change the paper width by using the roll paper guide, see “Changing the Paper Width.”

1. Press the cover open button to open the roll paper cover. See illustration H on

page iv.

2. Remove the used roll paper core if any, and insert the roll paper. See

illustration J. The correct direction of the paper is shown in illustration I.

3. Pull out some paper, and close the roll paper cover, as shown in illustration K.

4. Tear off the paper, as shown in illustration L.
