2-3. Loading the Roll Paper Notes: Be sure to use paper rolls that meet the specifications. Do not use paper rolls that have the paper glued to the core because the printer cannot detect the paper end correctly. (Turn off power switch) 1. Make sure that the printer is not receiving data; Otherwise, data may be lost. 2. Open the paper roll cover by pushing down the cover open button. 3. Remove the used paper roll core if there is one inside. 4. Insert new paper roll as shown.
5. Be sure to note the correct direction that the paper comes off the roll. 6. Pull out a small amount of paper, as shown. Then, close the cover. 7. Tear off the paper as shown.
2-4. Dip Switch Setting The printer is set up at the factory to be appropriate for almost all users. On the other hand, offers some more settings for users with special requirements. It has DIP switches that allow you to change communication setting, such as handshaking and parity check, as well as print density. Your printer has two sets of DIP switches. The functions of the switches are shown in the following tables. ♣Note : Power off. And open the cover of Dip Switch and change setting. 2-4-1.
