7. Tear off the paper as shown.

3-4. Dip Switch Setting

The printer is set up at the factory to be appropriate for almost all users. It does, however, offer some settings for users with special requirements. It has DIP switches that allow you to change communication baudrate setting and print density, as well as melody setting. The functions of the switches are shown in the following tables.

♣Note : Turn power off unplug the printer. Open the Dip Switch cover to change settings.

DIP SWITCH COVER

♣CAUTION:

When the paper cutter is jammed, the top cover might be stuck closed. In this case, repeat power on and off several times. If the top cover is still stuck, please follow the steps to release the paper jam.

1. Make sure the printer is turned off.

2. Take out cutter cover as shown.

3. Turn the knobble with your finger to clear the paper jam at cutter.

3-5. Adjustment of paper width

1. Please adjust the Paper Guide to fit to the paper width as the direction of arrow.

2. Tight the screw after adjusting the Paper Guide.

3. Pull the edge of paper once the paper roll is installed correctly and close the Paper Cover.

4-1. Control panel

5. Self Test

The self-test lets you know if your printer is operating properly. It checks the control circuits, printer mechanisms, print quality, ROM version and DIP switch settings.

This test is independent of any other equipment or software.

Running the self test

1. Make sure the printer is turned off and the printer cover is closed properly.

2. While holding down the FEED button, turn on the printer using the switch on the front of the printer to begin the self-test. The Self Test prints the printer settings, cuts the paper, then pauses: (Error LED On)

Self-test printing

Please press the PAPER FEED button.

3. Press the FEED button to continue printing. The printer prints a pattern using the built-in character set.

4. The self test automatically ends and cuts the paper after printing the following.

*** Completed ***

The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it completes the self-test.

6. Hexadecimal Dump

This feature allows experienced users to see exactly what data is coming to the printer. This can be useful in finding software problems. When you turn on the hex dump function, the printer prints all commands and other data in hexadecimal format along with a guide section to help you find specific commands.

To use the hex dump feature, follow these steps

1.After you make sure that the printer is off and Dip s/w 3 is set ON, turn on the printer.

2. Run any software program that sends data to the printer. The printer prints “Hexadecimal Dump” and then all the codes it receives in a two-column format. The first column contains the hexadecimal codes and the second column gives the ASC II characters that correspond to the codes.

Hexadecimal Dump 1B 21 00 1B 26 02 40 40 .!..& . @ @ 1B 25 01 1B 63 34 00 1B .%.. c4 .. 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 ABCDEFGH □ A period (.) is printed for each code that has no ASCⅡequivalent.

3. Turn off the printer, and make sure that Dip s/w 3 is set to off.

4. Turn on the printer.

7. Printer cleaning

If the interior of the printer is dusty, printing quality can be lowered. In this case, follow the instructions below to clean the printer.

1. Use an applicator swab moistened with an alcohol solution to clean the print head and remove

any dusts.

2. Once the cleaning is completed, insert paper roll into the printer few minutes later and close

the printer cover.

♣

Preventing Overheating

To prevent the motor from overheating, continuous operation of the printer should be

1.5 m or less in print length. Set the pause time for 30 seconds or more than it.

♣Note :

1. Make sure to turn the printer power off prior to cleaning

2. Regarding print head cleaning, as the print head is very hot during printing, turn off the printer

power and wait approximately 10 minute before start.

3. When cleaning the print head, take care not to touch the heated part of the print head.

The print head subject to be damaged by static electricity.

4. Take care not to allow the print head to become scratched and /or damaged in any way.
