2-3. Loading the Roll Paper

Notes: Be sure to use paper rolls that meet the specications. Do not use paper rolls that

have the paper glued to the core because the printer cannot detect the paper end correctly. (Turn off power switch)

1. Make sure that the printer is not receiving data; Otherwise, data may be lost.

2. Open the paper roll cover by pushing down the cover-open button.

3. Remove the used paper roll core if there is one inside.

4. Insert new paper roll as shown.

2-2-2. Cash Drawer Connector

The printer can operate two cash drawers with a 6 pin RJ-11 modular connector. The driver is capable of supplying a maximum current of 1.0A/24VDC for 510ms or less when not printing.

PIN SIGNAL DESCRIPTION

1 Signal GND 2 Drawer kick-out drive signal 1 Output 3 Drawer open/close signal Input 4 +24V 5 Drawer kick-out drive signal 2 Output 6 Signal GND -

Caution : To avoid an overcurrent, the resistance of the drawer kick-out solenoid must be 24 Ω

or more.

2-4. Dip Switch Setting

The printer is set up at the factory to be appropriate for almost all users. On the other hand, offers some more settings for users with special requirements. It has DIP switches that allow you to change communication setting, such as handshaking and parity check, as well as print density. Your printer has two sets of DIP switches. The functions of the switches are shown in the following tables.

♦Note : Power off. And open the cover of Dip Switch and change setting.

♣CAUTION:

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

1. Make sure the printer is turned off.

2. Take out cutter cover as shown.

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

♣CAUTION:

Turn off the printer while removing the DIP switch cover to prevent an electric short, which can damage the printer.

1. Make sure the printer is turned off.

2. Remove the screw from the DIP switch cover. Then, take off the DIP switch cover as shown in the illustration below.

3. Set the switches using a pointed tool, such as tweezers or a small screwdriver.

4. Replace the DIP switch cover. Then, secure it with the screw.

The new settings take effect when you turn on the printer.

4. 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 and then prints the following, Cuts the paper, and 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.

3. Control panel and other functions.

3-1. Control panel

You can control the basic paper feeding operations of the printer with the button on the control panel. The indicator lights help you to monitor the printer’s status.

5. Hexadecimal Dump

This feature allows experienced users to see exactly what data is coming to the printer. This can

be useful in nding software problems.

When you turn on the hex dump functions, the printer prints all commands and other data in

hexadecimal format along with a guide section to help you nd specic commands.

To use the hex dump feature, follow these steps:

1. After you make sure that the printer is off and Dip s/w 1-2 is 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 rst column contains the

hexadecimal codes and the second column gives the ASCⅡ 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 sw 1-2 off.

4. Turn on the printer.
