2-3. Loading the Roll Paper

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.

(Turn off power switch)

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

2. Open the top cover unit by pushing down the cover open button.

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

11

4. Insert new 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.

7. Tear off the paper as shown.

12

♣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 screw with drivers to a direction until paper is released from the cutter.

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.

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.

5. 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. Please turn printer off..

2. Please turn printer on while press down “Feed” button.

3. Please press down “Feed” button more than 3 seconds after print out first page of self test.

4. Now printer had entered into Hexa dump mode.

5. 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 ASCⅡ characters that correspond to the codes.

Hexadecimal Dump
