Use scissors to cut off any excess.
3-3. Installing the Printer Software Here is the procedure for installing the printer driver and utility software, which are stored on the supplied CD-ROM. The procedure applies to the Windows operating systems shown below. • Windows 2000 • Windows XP • Windows Vista (1) Turn ON the power to your PC to start Windows. (2) Insert the supplied CD-ROM (Drivers and Utilities) into the CD-ROM drive. (3) Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
3-4. Connecting the Optional AC Adapter Note: Before connecting/disconnecting the AC adapter, make sure that power to the printer and all the devices connected to the printer is turned off. Also make sure the power cable plug is disconnected from the AC outlet. (1) Connect the AC adapter to the power cable. Note: Use only the standard AC adapter and power cable. (2) Connect AC adapter to the connector on the printer. (3) Insert the power cable plug into an AC outlet.
3-5. Turning Power On Make sure that the Power cord has been connected as described in 3-4. Turn ON the power switch located on the front of the printer. The POWER lamp on the control panel will light up. Power switch CAUTION We recommend that you unplug the printer from the power outlet whenever you do not plan to use it for long periods. Because of this, you should locate the printer so that the power outlet it is plugged into is nearby and easy to access.
3-6. Connecting to a Peripheral Unit You can connect a peripheral unit to the printer using a modular plug. See “Modular plug” on page 58 for details about the type of modular plug that is required. Note that this printer does not come with a modular plug or wire, so it is up to you to obtain one that suits your needs. CAUTION Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from the AC outlet and that the computer is turned off before making connections.
3-7. Loading the Paper Roll Be sure to use paper roll that matches the printer’s specification. 1 Push the cover open lever and open the printer cover. 2 Set the paper roll in the direction as shown, and pull on the leading edge of the paper towards you. Cover open lever Paper roll Tension bar Note: Make sure not to pass the paper under the tension bar.
3-7-1. Removing the Tension Bar When using thermal paper roll, the tension bar unit may or may not be necessary, depending on the paper thickness, paper width, or the installation layout. If the tension bar unit is unnecessary, remove it in accordance with the procedure indicated below. The tension bar unit is unnecessary when using full-face thermal label paper roll or thermal label paper roll (tack label paper).
3-7-2. Changing the Adjustment Lever Position The adjustment lever position must be changed in accordance with the paper thickness. It is factory-set to position ①. When using paper thickness between 100 and 150 μm, change the adjustment lever position in accordance with the procedure below. As shown, use a flat head screwdriver to move the adjustment lever inward. Then, lower the adjustment lever to the position in which the protrusion on the adjustment lever engages with the hole in the frame.
Caution Symbol This symbol is placed near the thermal head to indicate that it may be hot. Never touch the thermal head immediately after the printer has been used. Let the thermal head cool for a few minutes before touching it. This symbol is placed near the thermal head to indicate that it is easily damaged. Observe the precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices. WARNING 1) Do not touch the cutter blade. • There is a cutter inside the paper outlet slot.
Notes on Using the Auto Cutter 1) To print after a cut, feed 1 mm (8-dot line) or more of paper. 2) If the cutter is not in its home position after an error, first eliminate the cause of the error; then, turn the power back ON. 3) If the printer is placed horizontally, the use of the partial cut is recommended. If you use the full cut, the cut pieces of paper may fall into the paper outlet passage, causing a paper jam as a result of cutting multiple pieces of paper.
4. Attaching the Accessories The following accessories do not necessarily have to be attached. Attach them if necessary. • Holding plate • Cable cover • Switch blind 4-1. Attaching the Holder Plate Shaft (1) Attach the shaft to the printer. Push in the left and right ends of the shaft. (2) Wipe the area into which the rubber feet will be affixed in order to remove any grime; then, affix the roll stoppers. The positions for affixing them will vary depending on the paper width. 82.5 or 79.
(4) Attach the holding plate to the printer. Then tighten the two screws that were supplied to secure it in place. (5) Position the printer over the screws, etc., on the wall and then slide it downward to set it in place. CAUTION The weight of the printer, including a roll of paper with the largest diameter, is approximately 2.4 kg. The screws installed in the wall must have both a shear and tensile strength capable of withstanding a load of 12 kgf (118 N) or more.
4-2. Attaching the Switch Blind Attach the switch blind as shown in the illustration. 4-3. Switch Blind Installation It is not necessary to install the switch blind. Only install it if it is necessary for you. By installing the switch blind, the following become possible. • Preventing the power switch from being operated by mistake. • Ensuring that other people can not easily operate the power switch. Install the switch blind as shown in the diagram below.
