- Black marks are selected at two places on the back and one place on the front (PCS value is 0.9 or more).

* BM position is an option of factory shipment.

- Though printing is available on the printing side having a black mark on the back, print density may become thin depending on the type of paper; therefore, user's notice such as printing on the place without black mark is necessary.

- Distance between black mark and black mark sensor is approx. 32.5 mm. If black mark is detected within this distance, next black mark is detected.

- Cut position when black mark is detected by the GS+S command (black mark detection command) is about 45 mm with the top of black mark used as a reference.

- Amount of automatic paper feed at the detection of black mark can be set by the ESC Y n1 n2 command.

- Basically cut command can be executed in any condition. If minimum distance for issuing a ticket (80 mm) is not satisfied, paper feed as much as the shorted amount is added by the printer.

* The user is requested to prepare the printing layout in consideration of the above regulations.

Description of Errors

●Paper end

When the paper roll has run out, the Paper end sensor located in the paper path near the print head detects the end of the paper roll, causing the PE to be output and the printing to stop.

●Paper near-end

When the paper roll diameter is reduced to the lower limit, the Paper near-end sensor is activated and causes the PE to be output, indicating that the paper supply has become low.

●Cover open

When the cover is open, the cover open sensor reacts to stop the printing operation.

●Head overheat

To protect the print head from overheating, the head temperature sensor is activated if the head temperature rises over approx. 65^ C, causing ERROR to be output and the printing to stop. Printing resumes automatically when the head temperature lowers below 60^ C.

●Cutter motor lock

While the cutter motor is running, if the cutter position sensor inside the cutter unit keeps ON or OFF for approx. 1 second or more, the printer judges that the motor has locked, causing the cutter operation and printing operation to stop. (See "4.8 Removing Cutter Lock".)

●Low voltage error

This error occurs when the voltage supplied to the printer is too low. If this error occurs, turn the printer power off immediately.

●High voltage error

This error occurs when the voltage supplied to the printer is too high. If this error occurs, turn the printer power off immediately.

●Presenter error

This error occurs when the presenter cannot eject paper or it cannot collect the ejected paper. To clear this error, remove the jammed paper or press the FEED switch.

●Black mark detection error

This error occurs when the printer cannot detect the black mark. If this error occurs, turn the printer power off and confirm the paper and memory switch setting.

7.1 Setting Memory Switches

Memory switch is a generic name for the following.

(1) Memory switches MSW1, MSW2, MSW3, MSW4
(2) Customize value
(3) Condition for communication through serial interface

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

  1. Entering memory switch setting mode

Set paper to the printer and keep the printer cover open. With the FEED switch pressed and held, turn the printer power on, and then press the FEED switch 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.

  1. Selecting memory switch

When the FEED switch is pressed short (within 2 seconds), printing occurs in the order of "MSW1" → "MSW2" → "MSW3" → "MSW4" → "Write/Factory Setting" → "MSW1" → ..... repeatedly. When the memory switch you want to change is reached, press and hold the FEED switch (for more than 2 seconds).

  1. Selecting each switch item

There are eight setting items for each switch. Press and hold the FEED switch for long (within 2 seconds), 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.

  1. Changing the setting

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

  1. Returning to the memory switch select mode

When the setting of the desired content is completed, open the paper cover and then close the paper 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 switch short to move to "Write/Factory Setting". Then press and hold the FEED switch. 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 switch. This allows the printer to return to the initial state.

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