1-2. Connecting the Cables

You can connect up the three cables to the printer. They all connect to the connector panel on the back of the printer, which is shown below:

1-3. Connecting the computer

You need an appropriate interface cable.

1. Plug the cable connector securely into the printer’s interface connector.

2. Tighten the screws on both sides of the cable connector.

Notes : Before connecting any of the cables, make sure that both the printer and the host are turned off.

3. Attach the other end of the cable to the computer.

1-4. Connecting the Drawer

WARNING:

Use a drawer that matches the printer specification. Using an improper drawer may damage the drawer as well as the printer.

CAUTION:

Do not connect a telephone line to the drawer kick-out connector; otherwise the printer and the telephone line may be damaged.

Plug the drawer cable into the drawer kick-out connector on the back of the printer next to the power supply connector.

1-5. Connecting the Power Supply

CAUTIONS:

When connecting or disconnecting the power supply from the printer, make sure that

the power supply is not plugged into an electrical outlet. Otherwise you may damage the power supply or the printer.

If the power supply’s rated voltage and your outlet’s voltage do not match, contact

your dealer for assistance. Do not plug in the power cord. Otherwise, you may damage the power supply or the printer.

1. Make sure that the printer’s power switch is turned off, and the power supply’s power

cord is unplugged from the electrical outlet.

2. Check the label on the power supply to make sure that the voltage required by the power supply matches that of your electrical outlet.

3. Plug in the power supply’s cable as shown below. Notice that the flat side of the plug faces down.

1-6. Installing or Replacing the Paper Roll

Notes : Be sure to use paper rolls that meet the specifications. Do not use paper

rolls that have the paper glued to the core because the printer cannot detect the paper end correctly.

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

2. Open the paper roll cover by pressing the cover-open button.

Notes : To remove the DC cable connector, make sure that the power supply’s power cord is unplugged; then grasp the connector at the arrow and pull it straight out.

Notes : Do not open the print cover while the printer is operating. This may damage the printer.

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

4. Insert the paper roll as shown.

5. Be sure to note the correct direction that the paper comes off the roll.

6. Pull out a small amount of paper, as shown. Then close the cover.

1-7. Adjustments and Settings

The SRP-350 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 settings, such as handshaking and parity check, as well as print density.

The SRP-350 also has a near-end sensor for the paper. This can give you a warning when the paper is almost out. If you find that there is not enough paper remaining on the roll when the near-end sensor is triggered, you can change the near-end sensor setting. Rotate the near end sensor tab at front or rear position.(See the below figure)

Notes : When closing the cover, press the center of printer cover firmly to prevent

Chapter 2. Hexadecimal Dumping

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 hexadecimal dump function, the printer prints all commands and data in hexadecimal format along with a guide section to help you find specific commands.

To use the hexadecimal dump function, follow these steps:

1. After you make sure that the printer is off, open the cover.

2. Turn on the printer, while holding down the FEED button.

3. Close the cover, then the printer enters the hexadecimal dump mode.

4. Run any software program that sends data to the printer. The printer will print all the

codes it receives in a two-column format. The first column contains the hexadecimal

codes and the second column gives the ASCII characters that corresponds to the

codes.

1B 21 00 1B 26 02 40 40 40 40 . ! . . & . @ @ @ @

02 0D 1B 44 0A 14 1E 28 28 28 . . . D . . . . ( ( (

00 01 0A 41 0D 42 0A 43 43 43 . . . A . B . C C C

z A period (.) is printed for each code that has no ASCII equivalent.

z During the hex dump, all commands except DLE EOT and DLE ENQ are

disabled.

5. When the printing finishes, turn off the printer.

6. Turn on the printer and then the hexadecimal mode is off.

Chapter 3. The self test

The self-test checks whether the printer has any problems. If the printer does not function properly, contact your dealer. The self-test checks the following;

1. Make sure paper roll has been installed properly.

2. Turn on the power while holding down the FEED button. The self-test begins.

3. The self-test prints the current printer status, which provides the control ROM version

and the DIP switch setting.

4. After printing the current printer status, self-test printing will print the following, and

pause (The PAPER LED light blinks).

Self-test printing. Please press the FEED button

5. Press the FEED button to continue printing. The printer prints a pattern using the

built-in character set.

6. 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.

Chapter 4. Code Table

The following pages show the character code tables. To find the character corresponding to a hexadecimal number, count across the top of the table for the left digit and count down the left column of the table for the right digit. For example, 4A = J.
