1. Set maintenance mode by turning on the power while pressing the FEED switch with the front cover open and the rear cover closed, then releasing the FEED switch.
2. The POWER LED flashes as the printer enters maintenance mode. Close the front cover in this status.

Types of maintenance mode

There are the following four types of maintenance mode.

Each mode is selected according to the number of times the FEED switch is pressed from maintenance mode.

• HEX Dump Mode: Press the FEED switch 0 times and reopen and close the front cover.
• Soft SW Setting Mode: Press the FEED switch 1 time and reopen and close the front cover.
• Initial Factory Shipping Mode: Press the FEED switch 2 times and reopen and close the front cover.
• Cut Position Adjustment Mode: Press the FEED switch 3 times and reopen and close the front cover.

HEX Dump Mode

Setting the mode

If the front cover is reopened and closed in maintenance mode (POWER LED is flashing), the POWER LED stops flashing and remains lit, and the printer enters HEX Dump Mode.

After printing the title, it stands by to receive data.

To leave HEX Dump Mode, turn off the printer power then turn the power on again with the front and rear covers both closed.

Soft SW Setting Mode

Setting the mode

1. If the FEED switch is pressed once in maintenance mode (POWER LED is flashing), the POWER LED and PAPER OUT LED start flashing.

1. If the front cover is reopened and closed in this status, the POWER LED and PAPER OUT LED stop flashing to and remain lit, and after the title and top items have printed, it enters Soft SW Setting Mode.

Soft SW Setting Mode

Operating method

Press the FEED switch (less than 2 seconds): The setting changes.

The present set value is changed and the same item is reprinted. (Press the FEED switch, and when the buzzer sounds once, release it.)

Pressing the FEED switch continuously (2 seconds or more):

Moves to the next item.

It prints the present set value of the next item. (Press the FEED switch, and when the buzzer sounds three times, release it.)

Opening/closing the front cover:

After saving the set values, it reprints all items from the top and returns to normal power on status.

• If the power is turned off without opening and closing the front cover, the setting change is invalid.
• If the paper runs out during the change, set the paper and close the rear cover to continue the process.

Concerning Mechanical-SW operation

Functions that are not supported by the specifications at time of shipping have no impact on printer operation even when the settings are changed.

Examples) Items set for the Auto-Cutter in models that are not equipped with an Auto-Cutter.

Change of the setting of the Take-Up Device in models to which rewind specifications do not apply.

Concerning Auto-Cutter operation

The minimum cutting interval is 1/2 inch (3 lines with 6LPI).

Once a cut command has been executed, even if a command is sent before the paper has fed at least 1/2 inch, the cut command is ignored so the cut action cannot be executed.

1. Turn off the power and open the rear cover.

If the rear cover cannot be opened

When there is a cutter problem, the printer may stop with the cutter blade protruding so that pressing the FEED switch fails to clear the error. When this happens, restore the cutter blade manually by inserting a screwdriver into the hole on the left side surface of the rear cover and rotating it, then open the cover (the blade will be restored whether you turn it to the left or right). Turn the screw driver so that the projections on both ends of the blade of the cutter are returned to the back of the printer (direction shown by the arrow).

1. Remove all the jammed paper (temporarily remove the roll paper that is installed in the printer).
2. Close the rear cover and turn on the power. The auto cutter operation will be initialized and the error cleared.

Caution

When removing the jammed paper, be careful not to touch the area around the print head nor the cutter blade. If you do you will be burned or cut.

Trouble Shooting

When there is trouble with this printer, take action to clear up the trouble according to the following table.

If this action does not clear up the trouble, notify the dealer where you purchased the printer or service personnel.

	Symptom	Check	Action
1	Paper jam	Check for a jam at the paper ejection opening. If you cannot open the rear cover, do check number 2.	Remove all the jammed paper. Remove the roll paper from the printer and put it back again.
2	Rear cover does not open	Check to see if the blade of the auto cutter is protruding.	Insert a Phillips screwdriver (+) into the cutter lock cancel use feed hole on the printer and turn it clockwise or counter clockwise. (Use a #1 screwdriver.) Rotate the screwdriver while watching the paper ejection opening and stop turning it when both ends of the blade are fully retracted. (→P.42) Caution Do not try to force the rear cover to open. If you do, the printer will be damaged and you will be cut by the blade.
3	Ribbon does not feed correctly	Turn the knob on the ribbon cassette.	After turning the knob until the ribbon feeds smoothly, reset the ribbon cassette. If you cannot turn the knob, the ribbon may be jammed inside the cassette. If the situation does not improve, replace it with a new ribbon cassette.
4	The paper is not cut	Check to make sure that the rear cover and front cover are closed.	If one of the covers is open, close it. If the paper still cannot be cut after you have closed the cover, notify the dealer where you purchased the printer or service personnel.

Cautions concerning the roll paper

Starting to wind the roll paper (interior end) processing (with center core)

• It must not be folded and its internal diameter must be even.
  It must not be rolled back.
• There must be no glue on its center core.
  It must be wound with its printing side facing outwards.
• When it is 2P paper, there must be no glue between the top and bottom sheets.
• In the case of 3P paper, there must be no glue on the top, middle, or bottom papers.
• Use pressure sensitive paper with total thickness no greater than 0.20mm and remember that the printer will not cut paper with total thickness greater than 0.14mm .

If you use pressure sensitive paper with total thickness greater than 0.14mm , either do not use the cutter or else rewind the bottom paper with the rewind to reduce the total thickness (top paper + middle paper) to 0.14mm or less.
