Frequently Asked Questions - P93DE MITSUBISHI

How do I load paper into the printer?

Open the door by moving the left side lever to OPEN. Place the paper roll with the thermo-sensitive side (printing side) facing up. Pull out 15-20 cm of paper to remove slack. Close the door and cut the paper end by pulling upwards against the cutter blade.

How can I adjust the brightness or contrast of printed images?

Press the BRT/CONT button once to enter brightness adjustment (BRT indicator lights) or twice for contrast adjustment (CONT indicator lights). Use the UP and DOWN buttons to change the value (-19 to +19). Press BRT/CONT again to save. If left idle for 20 seconds, changes are discarded.

What should I do when the paper runs out?

The indicator shows EP and an alarm sounds. Press the POWER switch to turn off the printer, then open the door and install a new roll of thermal paper as described in the manual. After closing the door, the printer will resume printing automatically if there are pending images.

How do I clean the thermal head?

Use the supplied cleaning paper. Turn on the printer, open the door, roll the cleaning paper and insert it so the red mark aligns with the platen roller. Close the door and press the FEED button until you hear a beep. Open the door, remove the cleaning paper, and repeat 2-3 times. Print 1-2 sheets to verify cleaning.

How do I reset the printer to factory default settings?

Turn off the power. While pressing the FEED button, turn the power on. The indicator will show FC and then change to 00, indicating that brightness and contrast values have been reset to default.

What does the error code 'EP' mean?

EP indicates a paper error – either the paper has run out or is not installed correctly. Load a new roll of thermal paper according to the instructions. Once properly installed, the printer will resume operation.

Can I use non-Mitsubishi thermal paper?

Only use Mitsubishi brand thermal paper (KP65HM-CE, KP65H-CE, KP61S-CE, KP61B-CE, KP91HG-CE). Non-specified paper may cause poor print quality and damage the thermal head due to static discharge or improper coating.
