Refer to 4.6 Error Messages

- User memory

You can save user-defined logo and character data in this memory. Data remains stored in this memory even if the printer is turned off. For information on how to save data, refer to the Command Reference.

- Memory switch

Setting of various kinds of functions can be stored in memory. Settings remain stored in the memory even if the printer is turned off.

● Power saving functions

- Power save mode

Enters power save mode to reduce energy consumption a set period after printing stops.

Exits power save mode when the FEED key is pressed or print data is received.

In power save mode the brightness of the POWER LED repeatedly changes slowly.

- USB power save mode (if memory switch MSW6-3 is set to enabled)

The printer enters power save mode when the computer is turned off.

When the PC is turned on the printer exits this mode.

The POWER LED dims in the USB power save mode.

CITIZEN CTS310II - - Power save mode - 1

CAUTION

If the power is turned off in the USB power save mode, the printer does not exit the mode immediately after the power is turned on. The mode clears about one and a half minutes after the power is turned off.
■ The printer enters this mode even if there is an error.
■ The printer does not enter this mode during serial interface transmission.

● Paper saving functions

You can set the following functions to save paper by setting the MSW8-3 to 8-5 memory switches.

  • Delete top margin
    The printer back feeds when printing starts to eliminate the top margin from the paper.
    Set the amount of back feed.

- Line gap reduction

The distance between lines at line feed is automatically reduced. Select the percent of reduction.

- Text reduction Vertical/horizontal

Size is reduced.

Set a combination of reduction ratios vertically and horizontally.

CITIZEN CTS310II - CAUTION - 1

CAUTION

If the "Delete top margin" function is used the partially cut printouts must be removed after printing. If the partially cut paper is back fed it may jam and cause trouble.
■ The following precautions are needed for "Text reduction mode".
- Text that is reduced in size is harder to read than regular text.
- With horizontal reduction the print range is also reduced, so the number of lines does not change. You must be careful of the print range when using narrow paper.
- Barcodes cannot be used. It may not be possible to read barcodes if they are printed.

3.1 Connecting the AC Power Cord

  1. Turn off the power.

  2. Connect the AC power cord to the AC inlet, and insert the plug into an electric outlet.

CITIZEN CTS310II - Connecting the AC Power Cord - 1

text_image AC power cord AC inlet

CITIZEN CTS310II - Connecting the AC Power Cord - 2

CAUTION

■ Use an AC power source that does not also supply power to equipment that generates electromagnetic noise.
■ Pulling on the AC power cord may damage it, cause a fire, electric shock, or break a wire.
■ Make sure that the AC power cord is fully inserted so it does not pull out during use.
■ If a lightning storm is approaching, unplug the AC power cord from the electric outlet. A lightning strike may cause a fire or electric shock.
- Keep the AC power cord away from heat generating appliances. The insulation on the AC power cord may melt and cause a fire or electric shock.
■ If the printer is not going to be used for a long time, unplug the AC power cord from the electric outlet.
■ Place the AC power cord so that people do not trip on it.

3.2 Connecting Interface Cables

  1. Turn off the power.
  2. Orient the interface cable correctly and insert it into the interface connector.

3.6 Long Life Print (LLP) Function Settings

The service life of the print head was increased by reducing the pressure that it contacts the paper.

Long Life Print (LLP) is enabled by changing the positions of the lever switches inside the paper cover.

  1. Turn off the power.
  2. Pull the cover open lever forward and open the paper cover.
  3. Use a screwdriver or other pointed object to press the lever switches on both sides in the direction of the A arrows and lower them in the direction the B arrows.

Lower the lever switches on the left and right sides one at a time from the standard to the LLP position.

  1. Close the paper cover until you hear a click so it is secure.

  1. Turn off the power.
  2. Open the front cover in the direction of the A arrow.
  3. Lift the protective sheet and turn the cutter gear in the direction of arrow B to return the auto cutter to a position where the paper cover can be opened.

Turn the cutter gear until the auto cutter blade retracts in the direction of arrow C. If the blade of the auto cutter does not move when you turn the cutter gear in the direction of arrow B, turn it in the other direction.

  1. Pull the cover open lever forward and open the paper cover.
  2. Remove whatever caused the cutter to lock.
  3. Close the front cover.
  4. Load a paper roll and close the paper cover.

4.6 Error Messages

- Paper-end

When the end of the roll of paper is detected, the ERROR LED lights. Load a new paper roll.

● Paper cover open

When the paper cover is open, the ERROR LED lights. If the paper cover is opened during printing, the ERROR LED flashes. Check the paper and always pull a few cm of paper straight out of the printer before closing the paper cover. Printing resumes. Sending a command to resume printing may be required depending on the memory switch setting.

- Cutter locked

If the auto cutter cannot move because of a paper jam or something else, the ERROR LED flashes. Remove the cause of the trouble and press the FEED button. If the auto cutter still does not operate and the paper cover does not open, refer to "4.3 Clearing a Cutter Lock (2)".

CITIZEN CTS310II - - Cutter locked - 1

Refer to 4.3 Clearing a Cutter Lock (2)

When you print dense characters, dark images, or for an extended time in a hot environment, the print head temperature increases. If the print head exceeds a specified temperature, the printer stops printing and waits for the print head to cool. When this happens, the ERROR LED flashes. Printing resumes automatically when the print head cools.

Notes: Precautions regarding memory switch settings

*1: MSW2-3

If the spacing expands because print feed stops during printing because transfer of print data is slow, a white streak may appear at the point that the first point it stops. It is possible to avoid the white streak by enabling MSW2-3 to improve print quality. However, it will take a little longer for printing to start.

*2: MSW8-5

If reduce character size horizontally is selected, the print range and distance between lines are also reduced. When printing on narrow paper, create print data so the print area does not extend beyond the edge of the paper.
