   If the cutter blade remains protruded with paper jammed, do not force the printer cover to open. Referring to the section 4.7, restore the blade to the normal position and then open the cover.
3. Remove the jammed paper including any remaining paper shreds.
4. Turn on the printer. The auto cutter mechanism is initialized and the alarm is cleared.

CAUTION!

If the cutter blade remains protruded with paper jammed, DO NOT open the printer cover foribly and try to turn OFF and ON the printer power. If the cutter blade cannot be restored, refer to the section 4.7.
■ The print head is hot immediately after printing. DO NOT touch it with your hand. DO NOT touch the heating element of the head with a bare hand or metal object either.

4.3 Periodic cleaning

If the print head or platen is dirty, clear printing is not available or fault may occur. If paper dust or the like is present on the sensor protection sheet, label paper or blackmark paper may not be detected correctly. Periodic cleaning in accordance with the following procedure is recommended.

1. Turn the printer power off.
2. Open the printer cover.
3. Wait several minutes. Wipe off any debris on the heating element of the head using a cotton swab soaked in ethyl alcohol. Just after printing, high temperature remains in the print (thermal) head. Be careful not to touch it by hand.
4. Moisten the tip of the cotton swab with water and wipe the dirt on the surface of the sensor protection sheet. Avoid using solvent such as alcohol. Use of it may result in smoky sensor protection sheet.

Sensor Platen Sensor Print (thermal) head

CAUTION!

■ Do not touch the surface of the heating element of the print head by bare hand or metal.
■ Wipe the dust off the surface of the platen periodically with a cotton swab moistened with ethyl alcohol. Especially, when full cutting is used for label paper, paper dust may adhere on the platen depending on the property of liner sheet, roll paper diameter, environmental condition of using the printer, etc.

4.4 Self-printing

Insert paper into the printer. With the FEED button pressed and held, turn the printer power on, keep the FEED button held for about 1 second, and then release the FEED button. The printer starts self-printing. The printer prints model name, version, DIP switch setting, memory switch setting, and built-in fonts.

4.5 Hexadecimal Dump Printing

This function is to print all received data in hexadecimal numbers. If problems such as missing data, data duplication, etc. should occur, this function allows checking whether or not the printer is receiving data correctly.

Load the paper into the printer and keep the printer cover open. With the FEED button pressed and held, turn the printer power on and then close the printer cover. The printer prints "HEX dump print mode" followed by the received data printed in hexadecimal numbers and some characters.

CAUTION!

■ The printer prints “.” if there is no characters corresponding to data.
■ During hexadecimal dump, functions except some command will be disabled.
■ If print data DOES NOT cover a line, press the FEED button to print the line.

When you press the FEED button three times consecutively, or you turn the printer power off, or the printer receives a reset signal from the interface, the hexadecimal dump printing is terminated.

4.6 Error Indication

● Paper end

Paper out is detected in two steps: paper near-end and paper end. ERROR LED will light when the paper is empty. If paper end is detected, refill the paper. If the printer cover is open, a paper-end is detected.

● Printer cover open

During printing, do not open the printer cover. If you open the printer cover accidentally, the ERROR LED blinks. Check the paper, pull the paper straightforward several cm (or inches) out of the printer, and then close the printer cover. Printing resumes automatically. Sending a command to resume printing may be required depending on the memory switch setting.

● Cutter lock

If the cutter blade stops operating due to paper jam or the like, the ERROR LED blinks. Remove the cause of the trouble and press the FEED button. If the blade still does not move and the printer cover cannot be opened, refer to the section 4.7.

● Thermal head overheat

When you print dense characters or dark image, the head temperature rises. If the head temperature exceeds a specified level, the printer stops printing operation and waits till the head temperature is lowered. During waiting, the ERROR LED blinks. When the head temperature is lowered, printing resumes automatically.

● Paper jam error

If paper feeding is not normal and paper jam occurs in the platen, etc., printing and line feed operation stop and ERROR LED blinks.

● Power switch operation error

If you turn power on again just after powering off, an error may occur.

Before turning power on again, wait till POWER LED goes off completely after powering off.

● Black Mark detection error (in Black Mark mode)

When Black Mark cannot be detected even if a certain amount of paper feed is carried out for Black mark detection, a Black Mark detection error occurs. If black detection continues more than the specified period, a No Paper condition is assumed and the same error as No Paper is indicated.

● Waiting for paper (label) cutting

If the "GS+FF" command is executed under the condition that auto cutter operation is disabled (memory switch 2-2 is OFF), label paper is ejected and ERROR LED blinks. When the FEED switch is pressed under this circumstance, paper returns to the starting position of printing and ERROR LED goes off.

● Paper (label) detection error

If detection is not available even with paper feeding of given amount for detecting space between labels or label paper, ERROR LED blinks. In this case, adjust the sensor in the paper sensor adjustment mode. If no detection occurs even after the sensor adjustment, replace the label paper. If replacing label paper is not effective for detection, the sensor, etc. may be faulty (degraded). Contact the service representative.

4.7 When the Paper Cover Cannot Be Opened

If the cutter blade remains protruded due to paper jam or for any abnormality, opening the paper cover may be disabled. In this case, do not open the paper cover forcibly. Insert a Phillips screwdriver (size #1) into the cutter lock releasing feed hole and turn it in the direction of arrow (clockwise).

When you find that both ends of the blade reached the lowest position, stop turning the screwdriver. Open the cover and follow the procedure of removing jam or other cause of trouble.

(No indication for 0/1 with memory switch SW7 through SW10)

1. Selecting memory switch (MEMORY SWITCH SELECT MODE)

When the FEED button is pressed short (*1), printing occurs in the order of "Memory SW1" → "Memory SW2" → "Memory SW3" → ...... "Memory SW10" → "Save To Memory" → "Memory SW1" → ...... repeatedly. When the memory switch you want to change is reached, press and hold the FEED button (for more than 2 seconds).

1. Selecting each switch item

2-16 items are provided for setting in each switch. By pressing and holding the FEED button long (*2), the printer goes to the next item and prints the current setting of the item. Repeat pressing and holding until the item you want to change is reached.

Power ON Info (Valid)

OFF state: ERROR LED OFF

ON state: ERROR LED ON

(With memory switch SW7 through SW10, ERROR LED goes on only at the factory setting.)

1. Changing the setting

When the item you want to change is printed, press the FEED button short (*1). The changed set value is printed. (When the change of the set value is repeated, the original set value is recovered). When you press the FEED button long (*2), the set value is accepted and then the printer goes to the next setting item.

1. Returning to the MEMORY SWITCH SELECT MODE (the above Item 2)

When the setting of the desired content is completed, open the printer cover and then close the printer cover. This allows the printer to print the setting of the changed memory switch.

1. Saving the setting and exiting the memory switch setting mode

Press the FEED button short (*1) to move to "Save To Memory". Then press and hold the FEED button. The printer prints the contents of new setting and exits the memory switch setting mode to return to the normal standby state.

* Unless saving the setting is executed, the changed setting cannot be enabled.

1. Initializing the memory switch

When you want to return the memory switch setting to the initial state, go to "Save To Memory" in the above procedure. Here, open the printer cover and press and hold the FEED button till buzzer sounds. This allows the printer to return to the initial state.

* All the memory switches settings are returned to the factory set values.

*1: Press for less than 2 seconds *2: Press for more than 2 seconds

5.4 Selecting Paper Type \*L, \*M

Paper type selection is available by the combination of memory switches SW4-4 and SW4-5 by the used of "Memory Switch Select Mode". In addition, the following procedure is available.

1 Enter Selecting Paper Type mode.

1) Open the printer cover and remove paper. Pressing and holding the FEED button, turn the printer power ON. The POWER LED starts blinking.
2) Release the FEED button and then close the printer cover. Buzzer sounds and the paper type currently set is indicated by the LED on the operation panel.

2 Select Paper Type.

Press the FEED button to match the paper type loaded to the LED indications in the table below. (Refer to the table below.)

	POWER LED	ERROR LED
	Green lit	(OFF)
	(OFF)	Red lit
	Green lit	Red lit

3 Save the selected Paper Type to the Printer.

Open and close the printer cover. By this operation, selected paper type is stored in the printer memory and the Selecting Paper Type mode is terminated.

Since then, "P.Length Set" of Memory switch 4-1 becomes disable.

When closing the printer cover during the setting a Black Mark paper or label paper in the printer, paper length is measured, and the result will be printed out.

* If Paper Detection error occurs at the measurement of paper length, the printer automatically enters Adjusting Paper Sensor mode. Adjust the sensor in accordance with "5-5 Adjusting Paper Sensor".

5.5 Adjusting Paper Sensor *L , *M

Before using Black Mark paper (BM paper) or label, adjust the Paper sensor. First, hold the lever at the upper end of the sensor adjustment control cover located at the left of the Power switch and press the lever down and toward the front to remove the cover from the printer.

As shown below, the most left one is a label paper sensor adjuster, the next is Black Mark paper sensor adjuster, and the right one is a level indicator LED. Adjust them in the following procedure.

Metal frame Level indicator LED L B Label paper sensor adjuster *L Black Mark paper sensor adjuster Black Mark sensor Label light receiving sensor *L

Label light emitting sensor *L

1 Enter Adjusting Paper Sensor mode.

Open the printer cover, remove paper, and then set the printer power switch to ON. Here, POWER LED and ERROR LED go on with the buzzer sound. Then close the printer cover while pressing the FEED button. The ERROR LED starts blinking with the buzzer sound.

2 Set Paper to be adjusted to the Printer.

This printer has three types of built-in paper sensors.

In case of label, set it so that label is positioned on the label light receiving sensor and label light emitting sensor. In case of Black Mark paper, set it so that the printable portion (other than black mark) is positioned on the Black Mark sensor. With this state kept, closing the printer cover causes ERROR LED to blink with the buzzer sound.

3 Adjust Paper Sensor.

Turn the corresponding adjuster counterclockwise by using a tapered flat screwdriver. Set the adjuster at the position where LED begins to change from orange to green.

Turning the adjuster counterclockwise

< Example of label measuring result*L >
< Example of black mark paper measuring result *M>

showing a black mark pitch showing a black mark height Black mark Interval : XXXmm Black mark Length : XXmm

5.6 Full cutting label paper * L

When full-cutting the label paper with the printer installed horizontally, Be sure that the guide plate is mounted on the paper exit of the printer cover.

(This guide plate was set to the printer at the time of factory shipment.)

The Guide Plate prevents cut paper from dropping in the printer.

CAUTION!

■ If about 10 sheets of cut paper accumulate on the paper exit, remove the paper.
- Stacking of 10 or papers, paper jam may occur.
■ Remove the guide plate in other than full-cutting label paper with the printer set horizontally.
- The manual cutter cannot be used when the guide plate is mounted.
- Short label paper with the printer set vertically may be hard to exit.

●Mounting and Dismounting Guide Plate

- Mounting

With the printer cover kept open, insert the tabs of the guide plate to the two mounting holes (either right or left hole) located at the inside of the cover front. Set the guide plate with its lib facing toward you.

Then, with the guide plate warping toward you, insert the tabs to the two mounting holes at the opposite side of the cover.

- Dismounting

With the printer cover kept open, pull the center portion of the guide plate toward you to remove the guide plate.
