Rev 0.01 8. SETTING UP THE PRINTER UNIT 8-1 Mounting the Units 8-1-1 Mounting the Printer Unit Use the four holes a, b, c and d shown in the external drawing of Fig. 4.1.2 on the separate sheet to fasten the printer unit. Also, it is recommended the unit be fastened using M4 screws with washers. Notes 1)Depending on the state of the surface to which the printer mechanism is fastened, the printer mechanism can become deformed making it difficult to attain quality prints.

Rev 0.01 8-3 Adjusting the Paper roll Holder Unit It is necessary to adjust the paper roll holder for the width of the paper you use. If the setting position is incorrect, the paper roll will be supplied improperly to the mechanism which in turn causes paper transport problems. Thus, it is should be properly adjusted. Note 1) The unit is assembled for 1 inch paper cores when shipped from the factory. Also, it is set for a paper width of 111.5 ±0.5 (take-up width of 112 +0.

Rev 0.01 8-4 Mounting the Friction Spring It is necessary to adjust the friction spring position for the width of the paper you intend to use. If the setting position is incorrect, the paper roll will be supplied improperly to the mechanism which in turn causes paper transport problems. Thus, it is should be properly adjusted. Note 1) It is necessary to adjust the friction spring position according to the paper roll material. Contact us for details on fine adjustments. 8-4-1 Using the Spring Base Fig. 8.

Rev 0.01 8-5 Adjusting the Near End Sensor It is necessary to adjust the near end sensor to detect the remaining amount of paper roll. To adjust the position of the near end sensor, adjust the roll diameter direction that determines the adjustment of the paper width to correspond to the paper roll width and the amount to detect of that paper. See the adjustment method for each below to use this at the correct position. 8-5-1 Adjusting to the Paper roll Width Fig. 8.5.1 A and Fig. 8.5.

Rev 0.01 (2) Optional High Volume Paper Roll Supply (RHU-T900) The method to adjust the near end sensor when using the optional high volume paper roll supply, is basically the same as that used for the printer unit. However, be aware that the difference in the setting position of the paper roll (the position to mount the paper roll bushing) makes the adjustment position different. Fig. 8.5.2 B shows the reference inscribed on the optional high volume paper roll supply frame.

Rev 0.01 9. HANDLING THE PRINTER UNIT 9-1 Precautions Regarding Designs 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. If the positional relationship of the printer unit and the paper roll holder mounting is poor, paper can skew, the ends of the paper become creased or the paper jam. For that reason, be very careful in how the paper roll is supplied.
PAGE 41
Rev 0.01 18. This unit is provided with an auto-cutter as standard equipment, but absolutely never approach the auto-cutter blades while the cutter is operating because it is extremely dangerous. Also, if the cutter stops, absolutely never touch the blades directly with your fingers. 19. Never unnecessarily disassemble the printer or its parts. When performing maintenance, always check that the power has been turned OFF before starting your work. 20.

Rev 0.01 9-4 How to Set the Paper roll Set the paper roll as shown in the following procedures. Procedure 1. Open the frame for fastening the mechanism (mechanism and presenter). Hold the unit holder, as shown in Fig. 9.4 A, and open the frame for fastening the mechanism. Then, lift the handle toward the direction of the solid line arrow (the top of the apparatus) to rotate it after releasing the frame lock (the direction of the broken line arrow). Set as shown in Fig. 9.4 B. Procedure 2.

Rev 0.01 9-5 Performing Maintenance 9-5-1 Cleaning the Thermal Head and Platen To ensure long-term and stable printing, periodically clean the thermal head and the platen. It is recommended that you clean every 500,000 lines. The thermal head and platen can be cleaned by opening the platen unit with the release lever. • To clean the thermal head heating elements, wipe with a cotton swab dampened with an alcohol based cleaner (such as ethanol or methanol). Also, do not apply excessive force when doing so.
