Setting Up the Printer
Unpacking
The illustration below shows the items included for the standard
specification printer.
Printer
Power supply
Hexagonal lock screws (2 pcs)
(only for the serial interface)
Ribbon cassette
Roll paper
Power switch cover
If any item is damaged, please contact your dealer for assistance.
Note:
See the Note on page 1-5 for information on the screws.
Setting Up the Printer 1–1
Selecting the Place
Place the printer on a surface that is as horizontal as possible.
The printer should be installed so that it does not move or vibrate
during paper cutting or the drawer kick-out operation.
Fastening tape is available as an option.
Attaching the Paper Roll Near-End Detector (Option)
If you do not have a paper roll near-end detector or do not want to
attach it, skip this section.
Note:
If you use this detector, use paper rolls with a core diameter 10.5
to 12.5 mm so that the detector detects the remaining paper
correctly.
1. Make sure that the power supply is disconnected from the
printer.
2. Remove four screws from the bottom of the printer; then
remove the cover.
1–2 Setting Up the Printer
3. Two spacers are included with the near-end detector. See the
illustration below and decide whether or not you want to use
them. Use them if you want the near-end detector to be
triggered when distance A is 3 to 4 mm; otherwise it will be
triggered when distance A is approximately 6 mm.
distance A
4. Secure the paper roll near-end detector (and spacers) with two
screws. When you insert the spacers, be sure you set the
spacers in the direction shown in the illustration.

5. Connect the connector of the detector to CN11 of the printer.
Position the cable as shown in the illustration.
6. Replace the cover and fasten it with the four screws.
Connecting the Printer to the Computer
You need an appropriate serial interface or parallel interface cable
to connect your computer to the printer.
Model with serial interface
1. Make sure that the printer and the computer are turned off.
Then plug the cable into the connector on the printer, as shown.
1–4 Setting Up the Printer
Note:
Your printer comes with inch-type hexagonal lock screws installed.
If you plan to use an interface cable that requires millimeter-type
lock screws, replace the inch-type screws with the enclosed
millimeter-type screws by using a hex screwdriver (5 mm). To
distinguish the two types of screws, see the illustration below .
Notch (one or more lines )
Inch-type
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the connector on your
computer.
Model with parallel interface
1. Make sure that the printer and the computer are turned off.
Then plug the cable into the connector on the printer, as shown.
Millimeter-type
Note:
Squeeze the wire clips on the printer together until they lock in
place on both sides of the connector.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the connector on your
computer.
