5-2. Paper Width Setting (Width: 58mm / 80mm)
As the factory setting for paper width is 80mm, follow the instructions in "5-3.
Setting the Paper" to set the paper roll when using 80mm paper.
When using 58mm paper, first attach the separator in accordance with the
instructions in "5-2-1. Attaching the Separator" and then set the paper roll.
Also, follow the instructions in "9-2. Changing the Setup" to set the "Paper
Width" in the printer setup to "58mm/35columns" or "58mm/32columns".
Caution: Do not switch from the 58mm width paper to 80mm width
paper when printing is in progress. When using narrow-width
paper, a part of the thermal head may directly come in contact
with the platen roller without any paper present. This causes
the head to wear down, resulting in poor printing quality.
In addition, as the cutter blade also works on sections without
paper, the cutter blade may wear down, resulting in a bad cut.
Caution: As the thermal head may be damaged by static electricity, do
not touch the thermal head except for cleaning.

5-3. Setting the Paper
(1) In the case of a new roll of paper, remove the glued portion and tape on the
paper roll.
When replacing the roll paper, first remove the old paper core.
Caution: Since the glued portion of the paper should not be printed on,
remove about one turn (about 30 cm) of the roll paper from the
beginning so that none of the remaining paper has glue on it.
Any adhesive or other matter remaining from the glue may
adhere to the thermal head and cause a problem, such as
voids on printouts. Therefore, do not forget to remove the
glued portion of the paper.
(2) After inserting the new roll of paper with the orientation shown, pull the end
of the paper in the direction indicated by the arrow [1].
Top of Cover
Caution: Pull the end of the paper so that it passes over the top of the
cover.
Caution: Do not damage or dent the platen roller.
Dents on the platen roller will cause gaps in the printing
and/or line feed failure.

Caution: Do not use deformed roll paper. Using rolls such as those
shown below may cause trouble such as paper or printing
jams.
Caution: If the roll paper is loose (slack) as shown b elow, remove the
slack before using the roll. Using without removing the slack
may cause paper or printing jams, or result in failure to detect
the paper near end condition.

13. Usage Precautions
13-1. Paper Related Precautions
(1) High printing rates may cause b lurred printing. Choose a suitable printing
rate to avoid blurring. Alternatively, set a suitable combination of print
speed and print density to avoid blurring.
(Refer to 9 Special Mode: 9-2. Changing the Setup.)
(2) Printing characters from a non-standard character set in a thin serif or
similar font will result in the characters appearing very faint. Use a bold
sans serif font.
(3) To achieve quality printing without uneven pitch (expansion or
contraction), feed the paper 1mm (8 dots) or more when restarting printing
or after cutting the paper.
(4) In sequential printing, slow data transfer may cause white lines to run
across the print, as printing and pausing are repeated alternately. If print
quality has priority, use the Batch Print mode ("Batch (COM IF)", "Batch
(OTHER IF)").
(Refer to 9 Special Mode: 9-2. Changing the Setup.)
(5) The top margin can be set to either 12mm or 3mm by a command. If the
top margin is set to 3mm, be sure to remove the printed paper each time
the printing and cutting operation is completed as rollback of paper takes
place before printing. If printed and cut paper is not removed, the partial
cut section may be torn or the cut surface may be folded causing a paper
jam. Also, use at least 30 mm of paper for each transaction.
(6) Setting a high value for print density (110 % and over) can result in blurred
or uneven printing at low temperatures, depending on the printing pattern.
If print quality has priority, print at a lower speed.
(Refer to 9 Special Mode: 9-2. Changing the Setup.)
(7) Do not switch from narrower paper to wider paper (e.g. 58mm to 80mm)
when printing is in progress. When usi ng na rr ow -width paper, a part of the
thermal head may directly come in contact with the platen roller without
any paper present. This causes the head to wear down, resulting in poor
printing quality. In addition, as the cutter blade also works at sections
without paper, the cutter blade may wear down, resulting in a bad cut. Do
not change paper width when printing is in progress.
(8) If the paper has been left in the printer for a long time, it may deform and
cause faint printing. Therefore, if the paper has been left for a long time,
feed the paper forward by 20-30mm before p ri nt i n g.
86
Page 89
(9) If non-recommended paper is used, print quality and/or the thermal head
life cannot be guaranteed. In particular, use of paper containing “Na+, K+,
or Cl-” may significantly shorten the life span of the thermal head.
(10) Using a non-recommended AC adapter may cause blurred and/or uneven
printing, so use only the recommended adapter.
(11) The paper may get marked during paper changing or when the top cover
is shut, so feed the paper forward by 20-30mm before printing.
13-2. Cutter Related Precautions
(1) Do not use the cutter continuously at a rate exceeding 10 cuts per minute
(1 cut per 6 seconds or more). Excessive use may cause a malfunction.
(2) Do not remove paper while it is still being cut. Doing so may cause
problems such as a paper jam.
(3) If the top margin is set at 3mm, be sure to remove the printed paper each
time the printing and cutting operation is completed as roll back of the
printer paper takes place before printing. Not doing so may cause problems
such as a paper jam.
13-3. Barcode/2D Code Printing Precautions
(1) When using thick paper, the printing speed and density should be adjusted
and readability should also be checked before using the printer as thick
paper may cause blurring depending on the usage environment and the
humidity.
(Refer to 9 Special Mode: 9-2. Changing the Setup.)
(2) For 2D codes, adjust the printing speed and density to obtain a good
recognition rate. As readability varies depending on the module width,
print density, ambient temperature, type of thermal roll paper, and reader
performance, check this before using the printer.
(Refer to 9 Special Mode: 9-2. Changing the Setup.)
(3) If a barcode is printed at the top of the printer paper when it is first fed, or
at the bottom when paper feeding is completed, readability should be
checked as accuracy in paper feeding may become unstable.

Page 90
13-4. USB Interface Usage Precautions
(1) Connect the printer directly to the host computer.
(2) Be sure to turn on the printer power before printing.
(3) If an error occurs during printing, recover the printer from the error, and
then retry printing.
(4) Do not turn off the printer or disconnect the USB cable while printing is in
progress. Using the host computer to set Stand-by mode, Sleep mode,
Suspend mode or Pause mode is not recommended.
If the printer does not work properly even after implementing the above,
try re-connecting the USB cable or turning on the printer power again. If
the printer still does not print properly, restart the host computer.
13-5. LAN Interface Usage Precautions
(1) The printer web settings should be configured when the printer is not
printing.
If you change the web settings frequently while the printer is printing, the
paper might not feed smoothly and uneven printing may occur.
(2) Status monitor can be used with dedicated LAN ports.
It does not support Windows standard LAN ports.
(3) When printing to multiple printers from a single PC, the printing might not
operate correctly depending on the Windows standard TCP/IP port.
If this happens, set the bidirectional communication function in the printer
driver to disabled before printing.
(4) If the printer is turned off in the middle of printing, printing might not
automatically resume when the printer is turned on.
If this happens, delete the print job data from the printer spooler and then
execute the printing again.

Page 91
13-6. Installation Precautions
(1) Use the printer indoors only. Outdoor usage may cause printer malfunction
due to dust or other factors.
(2) When connecting a cable to the printer or shifting the position of the
printer, perform the operation while holding the middle cover of the printer
at the sides using both hands. If you perform the operation hold ing the top
cover, the top cover may open.
13-7. Modular Type Connector Usage Precautions
(1) This product uses a special-purpose modular connector for the cash drawer
and customer display connector. Do not attempt to use other types of
connectors such as public telephone connectors.
