Note: According to specific interface standards

1.4 Choosing a Place for the Printer

When selecting a place to set up your printer, choose a convenient location that provides the following:

1. A flat, stable surface.

2. Adequate room around the printer to allow easy operation and maintenance. Make sure it’s close enough to the computer for the printer cable to reach, and be sure you can easily unplug the power cord.

3. Moderate environmental conditions. Select a cool, dry area and protect your printer from direct

sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dusty.

4. Appropriate power source. Make sure you use a grounded outlet; do not use an adapter plug. Avoid

electrical outlets controlled by timers or wall switches; an interruption in power can wipe out the information in your computer or printer memory.

If you place the printer on a stand, follow these guidelines:

1. Use a stand that supports at least 9 kg (19 lb).

2. Never use a stand which is slant. Always keep it level.

3. Provide enough clearance below the stand and between the printer rack and the legs of the rack so

the tractor paper flows smoothly.

4. Place cables so they do not interfere with paper feeding; secure them to a leg of the stand if

possible.

1.5 Installing the Ribbon Cartridge

1. Before installing the ribbon cartridge, make sure the printer is turned off.

Note: Never replace the ribbon cartridge when the printer is connected with power. Printer may

start to work suddenly which may hurt you.

2. Open the printer window. (As shown below)

3. Put the gap adjust lever to the uppermost position.

4. Slide the print head to the middle of the printer.（shown as figure 1-4）

Note: Never move the print head while the printer is on, or it may damage the printer. Also, if

you have just used the printer, let the print head cool for a few minutes before you touch it.

5. Please push out the ribbon nip according to the label on the ribbon cartridge.

6. Hold both sides of the ribbon down firmly to fit the plastic hooks into the printer slots. Then put the ribbon nip between print head and ribbon guide slice, press it down until it click into place. (shown as figure 1-6)

7. Turn the ribbon knob in the direction of the arrow to remove any slack from the ribbon so it is easier to install.

8. Slide the print head from side to side several times to make sure it moves smoothly.

9. Please put the gap adjust lever to original place and close the window after the ribbon cartridge is

installed.

NOTE: 1. When your printing becomes faint, you need to replace the ribbon cartridge. Otherwise,

the print quality would be affected and the print head may be damaged.

2. To remove the old ribbon cartridge, first make sure the power is turned off, move the print head to the center of the printer. Then grasp the ribbon cartridge handle on either side and lift it out of the printer.

3. Please use the Jolimark JMR120 ribbon cartridge only. Manufacturer will not honor warranty when using unauthorized ribbon cartridge.

1.6 Connecting the Power Cord

1. Make sure the printer’s power is turned off. (O mark on the power switch is pressed down)

2. Make sure the voltage required by the printer matches that of your electrical outlet.

3. Plug one end of the power cord into the printer’s power supply inlet. (As figure 1-7 shown)

4. Plug the other end of the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Note: 1. If the rated voltage and your outlet voltage do not match, contact your dealer for

assistance. Do not plug in the power cord.

2. Adopt the electrical outlet connecting the ground properly.

1.7 Printer Self-test Function

The built-in self-test function demonstrates that the printer is working properly. You can run the test with either tractor paper or cut sheets; this section describes the easier way, with cut sheets.

Note: You should use paper at least 210 mm (8.3 inches) wide to run the self-test; otherwise, the

print head would print directly on the platen.

1. Make sure the printer is turned off and the paper-select lever is at the cut sheet position. Raise the back cover.

2. While holding down the TEAR key, turn on the printer. The Paper Out and ONLINE LEDs blink which indicates the printer is out of paper.

3. Adjust the right paper guide of the back cover to the range of the scale. Then adjust the left paper guide to make the distance match the width of the print paper (as shown below).

4. Slide a piece of cut sheet down firmly between the right and left paper guides until it meets resistance. The printer loads the cut sheet automatically and begins printing when pressing ONLINE key.

Warning: Always close the printer window while the printer is printing.

5. To stop printing temporarily, press the ONLINE key.

6. To end the self test, make sure the printer is not printing, press LF/FF or LOAD/EJECT key to eject

cut sheet; then turn off the printer.

Note: If the self test did not print satisfactorily, see Chapter 4. If it prints correctly, go on to the

next section.

The printer configures with a parallel interface, two USB interfaces, a serial interface or an Ethernet interface. (According to the specific interface standards) Connect the printer to the computer with the correct cables. Before you begin, place the printer upright, as shown in figure 1-12. (This makes it easier to connect the cable.)

1.10 Network Settings

Please use Jolimark network setting software NetFinder to set the IP address for Jolimark printers, which can be found in the CD or downloaded from www.jolimark.com

Note: The network printing function needs the operation system of Windows 2000 or above.

1.10.1 Connecting Printer

Power on the printer, connect with the Ethernet cable which has been connected to LAN, and look into the information of Ethernet LED to ensure the printer has entered into the normal connection.

1.10.2 Setting IP Address

1. Run NetFinder Software

Double click NetFinder.exe in the PC which connects the printer in the same LAN. The figure of the software is shown as follows:

2. Search printer

Click "Search" key in the main interface, the dialog box appearing would begin searching automatically and show appearance, listing a printer in the main interface if found. The time is counting down in the progress bar (10s in total) and the search would finish as soon as the time is over. When going on searching, press “search” key again.

If the printer still can not be found out when the network connection is correct and in the same network, please check whether the network fire wall on the PC open or not. If there is fire wall, please close it temporarily, open again after finishing searching and setting a printer completely.

3. Setting printer’s IP address

The printer’s information is listed in the main interface, the left side of which is the model and description and the right are the IP address and MAC address. What’s more, the assign mode (dynamic/static) is noted behind the IP address.

1) Correlative description for IP address settings

In order to search and set printer’s IP address conveniently for the first time, the factory default

setting is DHCP mode which assigns IP address dynamically. If there is no DHCP server in the connected LAN and printer is set to DHCP mode as well, then it would use the internal pre-set address (IP: 10.0.0.1, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0) automatically.

It is suggested that printer’s IP set to static in actual usage, which can cut down the time when

initializing the Ethernet interface as the printer is turned on and prevent IP conflicts (The dynamic address used in printer may conflict with another one). The network segment part of the IP address and Subnet Mask must be the same as those of PC connecting with a printer. For example, the
