Notes:

1) For MICR scanning, do not place the printer near devices that generate magnetism or

in an area that can expose the printer to shocks or vibration. Placing the printer in such

areas can negatively affect its scanning performance. Before putting the printer into

actual operation, verify the printer’s scanning performance by performing trial scans

at its installed location.

6-3. Self-Printing

6-3-1. Test Printing

• Thermal paper roll

(1) Place a paper roll on the printer.
(2) With the rear cover closed, turn the power switch ON while keeping the FEED button

depressed.

(3) The printer will run a test print in the following order: version number, DIP switch

settings, memory switch settings, etc.

After the test print is completed, the printer will revert to the normal mode.

• Slip paper

(1) With the front cover closed, turn the power switch ON while keeping the RELEASE

button depressed.

(2) Insert a paper into the slip slot. The printer will automatically feed the paper; then, it

will run a test print.

The printer will run a test print in the following order: version number, DIP switch

settings, memory switch settings, etc.

After completing the test print, the printer will release the paper and revert to the

normal mode.

– 31 –

6-3-2. Hexadecimal Dump Mode

(1) Place the thermal paper roll on the printer.
Open the rear cover, then turn the power on while holding the FEED button.

(2) When the rear cover is closed, “*** HEX DUMP PRINTING ***” is printed, and the

printer enters the Hexadecimal Dump Mode.

(3) Each of the signals sent from the computer to the printer will be printed out in hexadecimal

code.

This function allows you to check if a control code sent to the printer by the program being

used is correct or not.

(4) The nal line is not printed if its data is less than one full line. However, if the FEED but-

ton is pushed, the nal line is printed. To turn off the mode, it is necessary to turn off the

printer completely.

– 32 –

6-3-3. Impact Head Printing Dot Alignment Adjustment Mode

(1) With the front cover open, turn the power ON while keeping the RELEASE button

pressed.

(2) Close the front cover and place the paper in the printer. Then, the printer will print “Dot

Alignment Adjust Mode” and enter the impact head dot alignment adjustment mode. The
printer will continue printing a total of 22 patterns of dot alignment adjustments as shown

below. The patterns are staggered in 1/8-dot increments.

The printed line above each pattern shows a number between 1 and 23 and its setting value

(Lv.xx). The pattern preceded by a “*” mark indicates the present setting value.

(3) As shown below, the adjustment patterns that are printed consist of a three-dot bar each

at the top and bottom for the forward pass, and a three-dot bar in the middle for the back­ward pass. Check the patterns visually and select a pattern with the three bars forming the
straightest line.

Forward pass
Backward pass

Forward pass

Improper

correction

Optimal

correction

Improper

correction

(4) To set up a pattern, press the RELEASE button as many times as the number (1 to 23) of

the desired pattern. In the process, a buzzer will make a short sound (0.1 second) with each

pressing of the RELEASE button.

– 33 –

(5) Repeat step (4). At the pattern number that you wish to accept, keep the RELEASE but-

ton depressed (approx. 2 seconds) until the buzzer makes a long (0.5 second) sound. This

completes the acceptance of the setting.

Example: To accept the No. 4 setting, short-press the RELEASE button three times. At

the fourth time, keep the RELEASE button depressed.

Note: If you press the RELEASE button 24 or more times, it will exceed the available range

of settings. This will cause the warning buzzer (0.1 second) to sound four times, and

will delete the number of pressings of the button. Go back to step (4) to resume the
setup process.

(6) If you do not nd an optimal correction pattern among the printed patterns, perform the

“Backward” or “Forward” operation as indicated in No. 1. These operations will allow
you to make printing pattern adjustments with a greater range of dot corrections. After
performing steps (1) to (3), perform the respective operations as follows:

For a “Backward” operation, keep the RELEASE button depressed (approx. 2 seconds)

until the buzzer makes a long (0.5 second) sound.

→ The printer will release the paper with a printing pattern in which the backward pass

is corrected rightward of the current printing pattern.

For a “Forward” operation, keep the RELEASE button depressed until the buzzer makes

a long (0.5 second) sound. Then, continue pressing and holding (approx. 4 seconds) the
RELEASE button until the buzzer makes a short (0.1 second) sound and another long (0.5

second) sound.

→ The printer will release the paper with a printing pattern in which the backward pass

is corrected leftward of the current printing pattern.

(7) The printer will write the setting value, which you have accepted, on the nonvolatile memory.

For conrmation, the printer will print out ve patterns (which includes the setting value

that you have accepted, as well as the preceding and succeeding patterns) and an “Adjust
Completed” message.

This is followed by the release of the paper and the resetting of the printer.

Note: During the period between the time you accepted the setting value and the printer

starts to print as described above, the printer will write the setting value on the
memory. Never turn the power OFF or reset the printer during this period. Doing so
will corrupt the dot adjustment settings as well as other settings.

If you make a mistake in the settings, do not turn the power OFF in the middle of

the process. Instead, wait until the printer completes the nal reset and start the dot

adjustment mode from the beginning.

8-1. Preventing Paper Jams

8-1-1. Roll paper

While placing a roll paper on the printer, do not pull out the end of the paper diagonally.
Also, do not touch the roll paper while it is printing, releasing, or before completing cutting. If
you hold or pull the paper with your hands while the paper is being released, it could cause the
paper to jam, cut improperly, or place a line break improperly.

8-1-2. Slip paper

Do not use paper that is curled, kinked, wrinkled, warped, or torn.
While loading the paper, place it straight.
Also, do not touch the paper while it is printing or is being released.
If you hold or pull the paper with your hands while the paper is being released, it could cause
the paper to jam, cut improperly, or place a line break improperly.

8-2. Removing Paper Jam

If a paper jam occurs, clear it as described below.

8-2-1. Roll paper

(1) Set the power switch to off to turn off power to the printer.
(2) Push the lever toward you to open the printer cover.
(3) Remove the jammed paper.

Note: To prevent parts such as the thermal head or the rubber roller from damage or

deformation, do not forcibly pull on the paper with the printer cover closed.

(4) Position the paper roll straight and close the printer cover gently.

Note:

1) Make sure that the paper is positioned straight. If the printer cover is closed with the
paper skewed, a paper jam may result.

2) Lock the printer cover by pressing down on the sides. Do not try to close it by pressing
down on the centre. The cover may not lock properly.

(5) Set the power switch to on to turn on power to the printer. Make sure that the ERROR lamp

is not lit.
Note: While the ERROR lamp is lit, the printer will not accept any commands such as the

print command, so make sure that the printer cover is locked properly.
