WARNING

- When opening the printer cover, take care not to touch the print head or cutter blade. Otherwise, burning or injury of hand may result.

CAUTION!

● Always use the specified types of paper roll.
- Confirm that the paper roll is set correctly.
- When the paper is skewed and not extended straightforward from under the cover, open the cover and adjust the paper correctly.
- When closing the cover, press on the both front sides marked or the center of the cover to close it firmly.
- When setting paper, pay attention not to let your fingers get injured by the edge of paper.
- When setting a label paper roll to the printer, be sure that there is no uneven portion on the roll paper side. If the roll paper side is uneven, set it evenly.

4.2 Removing Jammed Paper

1. Turn the printer power off.
2. Open the printer cover. If the cutter blade remains protruded with paper jammed, do not open the printer cover forcibly. Referring to section 4.4, restore the blade to the normal position and then open the cover.
3. Remove the jammed paper including any paper chips remaining. (Also take out the paper roll from the holder.)
4. Turn on the printer. The auto cutter mechanism is initialized and the alarm is cleared.

CAUTION!

● 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 Cleaning the Print Head

1. Turn the printer power off.
2. Open the printer cover.
3. Wait for several minutes and then wipe the dust or the like off the surface of head heating element using a cotton swab containing ethanol.
4. Head cleaning shall be done about once a month for standard paper. In case of label paper, clean the head about once every 10,000 sheets because the head is likely to catch the adhesive.

CAUTION!

● 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.

4.4 When the Printer Cover Cannot Be Opened

Cutter lock error may occur with the Auto Cutter due to dropping of foreign object, paper jam, etc. If the cutter blade remains protruded with cutter lock error, the printer cover does not open.

The Auto Cutter can also be restored to the initial position by turning the printer on again or by pressing the FEED button, when the memory SW3-1 is set to OFF.

If the cutter lock error cannot be recovered by the above method, release cutter lock in the following procedure.

1. Turn the printer power off.
2. If a cutter lock error occurs, the printer cover is held unopened. To open the cover, open the cutter gear cover on the front of the printer, turn the cutter gear under the protection sheet in the arrow direction, and return the movable blade to the initial position. (Return the movable blade to the position where the printer cover can open.)
3. Open the printer cover and remove the cause of the cutter lock.
4. Set paper correctly, close the printer cover, and turn the printer power on. (Check to make sure ERROR LED goes off.)

CAUTION!

• Do not touch the printer head by hand just after printing because high temperature remains on it.
• Do not touch the surface of the heating element of the print head by bare hand or by metal.
• Do not touch the blade of the cutter.

4.5 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.

4.6 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. Set paper to the printer and keep the paper cover open.

With the FEED button pressed and held, turn the printer power on and then close the paper 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.

Print example

HEX	DUMP		PRINT		MODE
1B	21	00	1B	20	04	41	42	43	44	. ! . .	.ABCD
45	46	47	48	49	4A	4B	4C	4D	4E	EFGHIJKLMN
4F	50	0D	0A	31	32	33	0D	0A		OP..123..

4.7 Error Indication

● Paper-end

Paper empty is detected in two steps: paper-end and paper near-end(factory option). It causes the PAPER LED to light. If paper-end is detected, replace the paper roll.

- Cover open error

When the printer cover is opened, Printer cover open is detected and the ERROR LED goes on.

During printing, do not open the printer cover. If you open the printer cover accidentally, the ERROR LED blinks. Confirm the paper and close the cover. Printing resumes automatically.

● Head overheat error

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.

● Cutter lock error

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 does not move and the cover does not open yet even in the above procedure, follow the procedure in section 4.4 to open the paper cover.

● Waiting for cutting label

If cutter disabled is selected, label paper is ejected by the GS FF (print and eject blackmark paper/label paper) command and the printer is waiting for cutting label paper. (The printer is waiting for cutting by manual cutter or peeling label.)

If FEED SW is pressed, the printer returns to the print start position and is restored to normal state. When MSW3-7=OFF is set, if FEED SW is not pressed for more than 3 seconds (default), the printer performs the same operation as FEED SW is pressed.

● Blackmark/label paper detection error

If blackmark/label paper cannot be detected or non-standard paper is used, blackmark/label paper detection error occurs.

In this case, perform sensor adjustment in the sensor adjust mode. If adjustment is not successful regardless of the use of standard paper, faulty (degraded) sensor or the like is suspected. Contact our service agent.

The LED status of each error including the above is shown below.

Manual Setting of Memory Switch (Memory SW)

The memory switch can be selected, changed, or written by the combination of three actions: pressing the FEED button, pressing and holding the FEED button, and opening or closing the printer cover.

1. Entering memory switch setting mode.

Set paper to the printer and keep the printer cover open. With the FEED button pressed and held, turn the printer power on, and then press the FEED button twice. Close the cover. If the current settings of the memory switch etc. are printed, the printer is now in the memory switch setting mode.

Memory SW (1) 00000000

0: OFF state

1: ON state

2. Selecting memory switch

When the FEED button is pressed short (within 2 seconds), printing occurs in the order of "Memory SW1" → "Memory SW2" → "Memory SW3" → "Write/Factory Setting" → "Memory SW1" → ...... repeatedly. When the memory switch you want to change is reached, press and hold the FEED button (for more than 2 seconds). The reserved memory switch setting will be skipped and not printed.

3. Selecting each switch item

There are eight setting items for each switch. Press and hold the FEED button for long, the printer goes to the next item and prints the current setting of the item. Repeat pressing and holding till the item you want to change setting is reached.

Power ON Info (Valid)

Items with ERROR LED lit are those values elected currently

4. Changing the setting

When the item you want to change is reached, press the FEED button short. The changed set value is printed. (To return to the previous setting press the FEED button short). When you press the FEED button long, the set value is accepted and then the printer goes to the next setting item.

5. Returning to the memory switch select mode

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 to move to "Write/Factory Setting". Then press and hold the FEED button. The printer prints the content 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 "Write/Factory Setting" in the above procedure. Here, open the paper 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.
