Chapter 5 Sensors and Error Indications 5 This chapter explains the various sensors that this printer is equipped with and the error indications accompanying them.
Chapter 5 Sensors and Error Indications Sensors Printer Cover Open Sensor This sensor reacts when the front cover is removed, indicated by the ERROR indicator (cover open error). Printing is halted. Head Up Sensor If the head is moved to the head up position using the head up lever, it is indicated by the ERROR indicator (Head Up Error.) Printing is halted.
Sensors Paper Near End Sensor This sensor is located on the roll paper holder on the receipt side and the journal side. When the winding diameter of the roll paper becomes small, it is indicated by the ERROR indicator. Since the amount of roll paper remaining may differ depending on the thickness of the winding core, the near end sensor can be set so as to correspond to the thickness of the winding core. Setting Method 1. Loosen the adjustment screw holding the sensor lever. 2.

Do not touch the print head cover or the outside of the auto cutter with bare hands during printing or immediately after printing. When removing jammed paper, first check to make sure the temperature of the print head and auto cutter has dropped sufficiently. 1. Set the printer in the head up condition with the head platen open. 2. Remove the jammed paper with utmost care.
Chapter 9 Appendix Cautions in Handling of Roll Paper • • • If chemicals or oil touch the paper, it could become discolored and the printed data could fade away. Do not scrape the paper with fingernails or with hard metal objects, etc. This could cause the paper to become discolored. Discoloration begins from a temperature of approximately 70°C. (158°F) Be careful of the effects of heat, moisture and light, etc. on the roll paper.
