2.General Guide.

2-1.Description of printer parts

The HANDY700 printer is based around a patented easy-loading printer
mechanism designed. This mechanism consists of a main cavity into which a paper
roll is dropped for loading. The thermal print head is at the front of this cavity and a
rubber roller is attached to the lid of the mechanism. When the lid is closed, The
paper is trapped between the rubber roller and the print-head to give a close
alignment and a consistent pressure.

2-1-1.Indicator lights

The HANDY700 printer has two LEDs on the front panel.
The control panel lights provide information on printer conditions.

POWER LED(Green) : The POWER light is ON when power is turned ON.
The POWER light flashes when head temperature is high(60C).

BATTERY(Red) : The BAT light is ON when battery is under charge the battery.
When the battery is full charged, light is blinks every second.
The BAT light is OFF when printer have no line adapter.

ERROR(Green): The POWER light flashes every second when the paper roll is nothing or
The paper cover is opened.

NOTE : Printer go into online mode automatically and print the remaining
Data 5 seconds after closing paper cover.

2-1-2. Buttons.

FEED Button : Press the FEED button to advance paper. You can also press the FEED button
Continuously to feed paper continuously.
FEED button is not operated when ON line button is off.

SEL Button : SEL Button perform set-up program(See Chapter self-test and set-up mode).

2-1-3.Connectors

The Power connector is fitted on the right side of printer.
This Power connector is for Battery charging and direct DC power supply.
In case of battery with internal charging type, Printer does not work when printer is connected with
adapter directly, without battery.

The Interface connector is fitted at right side of printer. This is 6pins RJ connector for RS-232C
Communication.

2-1-4.Belt rack holes

There are two holes in the base of the printer which allow the printer to be attached to vertical
Surface Such as a wall or waistband.

2-1-5.Sensors

The HANDY700 Printer is fitted with three sensors.
The DOOR –CLOSED SENSOR is to avoid the damaging the print-head, When the door is open.
The END-OF-PAPER SENSOR(EOP) detects the presence of paper near to the print-head.
To avoid damage the print-head, When no paper is detected.
The Infrared IrDA SENSOR is fitted on the front panel. This sensor is used to interface with
Infrared communication.

3.Operation

.

3-1.Precautions for installation

.

HANDY-700 Printer may be installed in a variety of applications but, to Maintain
your unit in optimum working conditions, the following recommendations should
Be followed.

 Avoid dirty or dusty location or those with excessive heat or humidity.

 Choose a stable level or solid wall on which to mount the printer.

 Ensure that the adapter provides the correct operating voltage.

 Care must be taken to ensure that any power adapter supplied by the customer meets

With national safety requirements and has the correct output voltage and polarity.

3-2.Opening/Closing of printer cover

Applying your finger on both side of printer, push it up when the lock is released as

Shown in the drawing. It open by about 120° centering around the fixed axis.

Dump mode check whether printer receive data correctly from host or not.

*Running the dump mode
Turn ON the power while pressing SEL and FEED button together ,Then printer
Print [DUMP TEST] and wait data from host.

3-7.Maintenance.

The HANDY-700 printer is requires very little maintenance but may benefit From

cleaning as detailed below.

 Cleaning the printer

The external surfaces may be kept clean by wiping a lightly damp cloth but this
Only be done after unplugging all electronic connections. Great care should
Be taken to ensure that the inside surfaces are kept dry at all times and that the
External surfaces are thoroughly dry before re-making any electrical connections

 Cleaning the print-head

Depending of the environment in which the printer is used, The print-head may
The print-head may accumulate dust. Therefore it is necessary to clean it periodically.
In order to maintain a good print quality. The cleaning period is dependent on the
Environment and usage of the printer but the print-head should be cleaned at least
Once a year or up to once a month in heavy duty applications.
The print-head should always be cleaned immediately if the print becomes visibly
Fainter due to contamination of the print-head. To clean the print-head :
+.Switch off the printer.

Never clean the head immediately after printing, The print-head may be hot.
+. Open the printer cover and remove the paper roll.
+. Clean the heating dots of head with a cotton stick containing a alcohol solvent
(ethanol, methanol or IPA) but do not touch the print-head with your fingers.
+. Allow the solvent to dry.
+. Reload the paper and close the cover.
