Frequently Asked Questions - TSP1043U Star Micronics

How to load the paper roll in the TSP1043U printer?

Push the opening lever to open the cover. Place the roll in the recess respecting the orientation (paper unwinds from the bottom). Pull the paper end, then close the cover by pressing on both sides. The auto cutter cuts the beginning of the paper automatically.

What to do in case of a paper jam?

Turn off the printer. Open the cover using the lever. Carefully remove the jammed paper without touching the print head. Reinsert the roll straight and close the cover. Turn the printer back on. If the cover does not open, use the cutter unit release procedure (see section 8-3 of the manual).

How to clean the thermal print head?

Turn off the printer and let it cool down. Use a cotton swab or soft cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the head surface. Do not scratch or use metal objects. Also clean the paper support and paths with a dry cloth.

What types of paper rolls are compatible?

Use only thermal paper with thickness 65 to 150 µm and width 44.5 to 82.5 mm. The outer diameter of the roll must not exceed 180 mm (drop-in) or 170 mm (with spindle). Recommended papers are: T8037, TF8067, TF8075, KLS46, KPO460, Lotto482.

How to adjust the paper end sensor?

Open the cover. Determine the position of the adjustment system (1 for drop-in, 2 for support 2, 3 for support 1). Insert a pen tip into the slider hole and slide it to the desired level (1, 2 or 3) according to the paper thickness. Refer to the table in the manual for the detectable remaining paper lengths.

What do the POWER and ERROR LEDs mean?

The POWER (green) LED indicates power on. The ERROR (red) LED lights up or flashes depending on errors. For example: fast blinking POWER indicates high head temperature; POWER off and ERROR blinking indicates a memory error. Consult the error table in the manual to interpret all codes.

The paper should not be touched during ejection and before it is cut.

Pressing or pulling the paper during ejection may cause a paper jam, paper cutting failure or line feed failure.

8-2. Removing Paper Jam

If a paper jam occurs, clear it as described below.

(1) Set the power switch to off to turn off power to the printer.
(2)Push the cover open lever, and open the printer cover.

If the printer cover will not open on auto cutter models, it means that the auto cutter is not at the home position. In this case, return the auto cutter to the home position by following the instructions provided in section 8-3. Then open the printer cover after the paper jam has been removed.

(3)Remove the jammed paper.

CAUTION

Take care not to damage the printer when removing the jammed paper. Since it is easy to damage the thermal head in particular, take care not to touch it.

(4) Position the roll paper straight and close the printer cover gently.

Note:

1) Make sure that the paper is positioned straight. If the printer cover is closed with the paper skewed, a paper jam may result.
2) Lock the printer cover by pressing down both sides. Make sure that the printer cover is securely closed.

(5) Set the power switch to on to turn on power to the printer. Make sure that the ERROR LED is not lit.

Note: While the ERROR LED is lit, the printer will not accept any commands such as the print command, so make sure that the printer cover is locked properly.

8-3. Releasing a Locked Cutter

If the auto cutter locks up or fails to cut the paper, follow the steps below.

WARNING

Since working on the cutter may be dangerous, be sure to turn off the printer first.

(1) Set the power switch to OFF to turn off the printer.
(2)Slide off the front cover to reveal the auto cutter.
(3)Remove any jammed paper.

CAUTION

Be careful not to damage the printer while removing any jammed paper. Since the thermal print head is particularly sensitive, be sure not to touch it.

(4) If the cutter's moving blade is protruding, rotate the knob in the direction of an arrow to return the moving blade to its home position.

When the check window is completely white, the moving blade is at its home position.

CAUTION

1) Do not apply extreme pressure to the moving blade.
2) If the moving blade is protruding too much, the printer cover cannot be opened. Trying to open the printer cover may damage the cutter.

(5)Open the printer cover, remove any jammed paper, and then re-install the paper roll.
(6) Install the front cover, and then set the power switch to ON.

9. Periodical Cleaning

Printed characters may become partially unclear due to accumulated paper dust and dirt. To prevent such a problem, paper dust collected in the paper holder and paper transport section and on the surface of the thermal head must be removed periodically. Such cleaning is recommended to be carried out once six month or one million lines.

9-1. Cleaning the Thermal Head

To remove blackish dust collected on the surface of the thermal head, wipe it with Isopropyl alcohol (IPA).

Note: The thermal head is easy to damage, so clean it gently with a soft cloth. Take sufficient care not to scratch it when cleaning it.

9-2. Cleaning the Paper Holder

Use a soft cloth to remove paper dust from the paper holder and paper transport section.

A-8. Black Mark Specifications

When using the paper-end sensor as a black mark sensor, the following settings are recommended.

Note:

The paper is cut at the location shown above when the memory switch is set to the default setting for the printing start location offset value.

1. Black mark pitch (dimension A)

Dimension A for the black mark pitch can be set to 50–300 mm.

Note:

Although the black mark pitch can be set in the range listed above, it is recommended that you consider the variations that occur with the printing location when setting the print layout.

1. Black mark dimensions

Refer to the above figure for the dimensions of the black marks that will be printed.

3. PCS value

The PCS value of the black marks that will be printed should be a minimum of 0.90 (90%).

Note:

If the PCS value of the black marks does not meet the specification listed above, page skipping and page length detection errors may occur. To avoid problems, make sure that the specified PCS value is used.

4. Top margin (dimension B)

When setting the printing area, leave a sufficient top margin between the cutting location and the top of the printing area.

When not using reverse paper feeding, a top margin of at least 12 mm is recommended: 11 mm for the distance between the thermal head heating element and the cutting location, and 1 mm for the paper feeding that occurs due to the vibrations when the motor starts.

Note:

1) If the top margin is insufficient, page skipping errors may occur. To avoid problems, set the top margin carefully.
2) The printing area setting should not exceed the black mark pitch.

5. Bottom margin (dimension C)

When setting the printing area, leave a sufficient bottom margin between the bottom of the printing area and the following black mark.

When setting the bottom margin, consider the printing precision of the black mark pitch, TOF printing precision ( ±2 mm from the standard printing location), ambient temperature at the installation location, and the amount of wear of the printer parts. It is recommended to set the printing area to achieve the following bottom margin.

Bottom margin (dimension C) ≥ 3 mm + (dimension A × 3%)

Note:

1) If the bottom margin is insufficient, page skipping errors may occur. To avoid problems, set the bottom margin carefully.
2) The printing area setting should not exceed the black mark pitch.

1. Example of printing area setting

An example of the settings for the printing area when not using reverse paper feeding is shown below.

Black mark pitch (dimension A): 100 mm

Top margin: 12 mm

Bottom margin: 3 mm + (100 mm × 0.03) = 6 mm

Given the above settings, the printing area must be set to 82 mm or less (100 mm - 12 mm - 6 mm = 82 mm).

Note:

1) Be careful when setting the print layout for pre-printed paper. The TOF printing precision when detecting black marks is ±2 mm from the standard printing location. In addition, the printing length is ±2% of the set value according to variations with the initial ambient temperature and platen diameter precision, and a margin of error of up to -5% may occur according to the life of the printer.
2) If you have any questions regarding how to set the printing area according to the black mark pitch, contact Star Micronics.

1. Sensor adjustment

When using black marks, it is recommended to adjust the black mark sensor.

Appendix B: Dip Switch Setting

Two DIP switches are provided at the bottom of the printer, and can be set as given in the table below. Be sure to set the power switch to off before changing the settings. It is recommended to use a pointed item like a pen or flat-blade driver screw to change the settings. The settings will become effective when the power switch is set to on again.

The following is the procedure for changing the settings on DIP switches.

1. Make sure the printer is turned off.
2. Remove the screw from the DIP switch cover. Then take off the DIP switch cover, as shown in the illustration below.
