Operating precautions :

→ Please follow the precautions below to enjoy and maintain the full

performance of the printer.

Using the printer :

• Be careful not to drop or bump the printer on a hard surface;

• Do not install the printer in direct sunlight or such areas. Suitable environment

for the use of the printer is as follows:

Operating temperature : -10°c à 50°C

Relative humidity : 30 % et 80 %

• Do not install the printer near devices that generate strong electromagnetic fields

such as a copy machine.

• Do not open platen cover during printing.

• Do not remove or reinstall the communication cable during printing or

transmission.

• Do not touch the connectors of the communication cable during printing.

• Switch the POWER OFF when not in use.

• Do not use other solvent.

• The AC adapter, the battery charger and the battery pack may

become warm when in use. This is normal and is not a malfunction.

• When the battery pack is used at low temperature, the length of time

the printer can be used may be shortened.

Thermal paper handling :

• Store the thermal paper in a cool, dry and dark place.

• Do not rub the paper with hard object.

• Do not allow plastic film, erasers, or adhesive tape to touch the paper for long

periods.

• Lamps:

→ POWER (green) : The printer is on and ready to receive data.

→ ERROR (red) : Indicates a fault condition or a printer error (no paper, paper
cover open, etc...).

• LCD:

→ The LCD screen will display most of the printer status (connetion type, end of
paper, etc...)

Doc WSP-i350 10

Set operation mode :

→ To switch on operation mode, press the FEED and POWER button
simultaneously. Then from this moment, the ERROR lamp blink. You need to keep
pressing on the FEED and POWER button until the ERROR lamp blink for 5 times. Then
you are now in the operation mode.

→The menu navigation in operation mode is done as:

 POWER button: Used for changing OPTION status of a mode.

 FEED button: Used to switch from one MODE to another.

The self-test :

→ The self-test prints out the current setting value of printer. The way of self-test
is as follows:

1. Insert proper paper into the printer.

2. Power oon while pressing FEED button to start self-test.

3. The printer will print out her current settings (ROM version and communication
mode).

4. And then a pattern of characters will be printed out.

5. The self-test will be finished automatically and turned to the standby status.

Using belt-clip :

→ Insert belt-clip in the hole and screw it with a screwdriver or a coin.

Consumable parts :

a) Recommended paper

• Type : Thermal paper.

• Paper width : 80mm

• Paper thickness : 60 + 5μm

• Outer diameter : Ø50 mm or less.

• Recording side : Outside of the roll.
