・Do not change narrow paper to wide paper on using.（In case you use narrower paper

than wide of Thermal head, the uncovered part by paper on thermal head grazes directly with palaten roller and the thermal head could be destoried.）

・In case you use paper wide 60, 65 and 76mm, please contact us. (Settnng of paper wide

for printers should be at Factory.

4) Remarks ・When printing on low temperature or high humidity on highly printing ratio, there is a

case that the recording paper get filthy due to water vapor generated from recording

paper and the printer builds up condensation. Please pay attention that a drop of water doesn’t falls on thermal head. In the case of condensation, you should switch off until the condemsation disappears. You should use the reliable and confirmed fully thermal paper that has little Na+ ion, K+ion, Cl-ion.

4.1.3 Self Print

1) By performing self-diagnostic print following items are checked. * Proper function of control circuitry * Control F/W version * Status of Dip switch setting and memory switch setting * Correct function of paper out sensor

2) Start and end of self diagnostic print

Turn on the power while pressing the FEED switch and release the FEED switch after initializing print mechanism. Self diagnostic print will take place.

The self diagnostic print automatically ends when a preset print pattern are printed.

While printing, the printer is in Off-line mode.

4.1.4 Paper sensor

Paper end sensor equipped in the paper course of the printer mechanism, and it detects paper end status. It stops printing by error bit ON, when detected the paper end.

The sensor can not detect paper end glued to the core. Please exchange the paper roll

shortly after detecting the paper end.

2) Return to normal status from error statuses Remove causes of error statuses and turn the power on again or push the RESET switch to return to normal. When this process is activated, at the time of power switch turned off, the printer will be initialized, so that settings are required again.

If data remains in the buffer, attention should be paid

4.3 Buffer full print If there remains data after one line of data is received, printer automatically prints preceding data. The volume of buffer full data varies depending on ANK, Kanji or bit images.

4.7 How to set roll paper

1) NP-3511

- As illustrated, you lift the shaft vertically and set a roll paper passing through the shaft (Pay attention to the direction of roll paper.)

- Set shaft back to previous position.

- Put the edge of paper into loading slot. (Put it straight into slot, not curl)

- Retract the paper automatically with sensor detected. (In case of power on)

- Paper is retracted into a certain length and can print after cut the excess of it.

(Attention): The leading edge of paper should be straight and at right angle. Paper at cutout state might be retracted at an angle.

4.8 How to remove the jammed paper

- Pull up head open lever at the direction as illustrated.

- Remove all jammed paper on the route of paper.

- Close thermal head cover completely.(Until hearing click)

Attentions: Since the thermal head reaches a high temperature, please don’t touch it. If a paper jam occurr, a cutter blade may stick out. DO NOT TOUCH IT.

4.9 How to clean Thermal Head

In case the heat generation part of the thermal head gets wisps of paper, the quality of print

may drop. In this case, you should clean the thermal head as following procedures.

1) Thermal Head Remove wips of paper and grim with swab moistened alcohols solvent (ethanol / IPA) on

the heat generation part of thermal head. The use of methanol in alcohols solvent is prohibited.

2) Platen Remove wips of paper and dust on the surface by wiping like rubbing slightly with dry cloth.

3) Mark Sensor／No paper sensor and its surrounding Remove wips and paper and dust on sensors with swab moistened slightly.

4) Attentions ・Since the thermal head reach a high temperature shorly after printing, don’t touch it with

hands. ・Don’t touch the heat generation part of thermal head with hands and metal materials. ・When you clean thermal head, you should pay fully attention to the risk of breaking of

thermal head due to static electricity. ・In case a lot of wips of paper are genrated depending on paper, timing of maintenaunce should be decided after confirming the paper.

・You should power on after completely driy on the printer.
