AJUSTMENT AND SETTING for details about mode conversion) If you want to set to RS-232C Mode, just connect the communication cable to connector of the printer and then the mode will be changed automatically. 2) FEED Button Press the FEED Button once to advance paper one line. You can also hold down the FEED Button to feed paper continuously. http://www.woosim.
2.3. Indicator lights 1) power Lamp The power Lamp is on whenever the printer is on or mode conversion. But when the battery is almost exhausted, this Lamp flashes with red color occasionally. In this case, you must recharge the battery by using the AC adapter. 2) error Lamp This Lamp indicates an error such as paper end, or cover open, mode conversion etc. 2.4. Self test The Self-Test checks whether the printer has any problems. If the printer does not function properly, contact your dealer.

[Reference] ESC 2, ESC 3 FF [Name] Print and return to standard mode in page mode.
6.2. Line Spacing Command The PORTI-W25 supports the following commands for setting line spacing. These commands only set the line spacing; they do not actually advance the paper. The line spacing set using these commands affects the results of LF and ESC d and paper feeding by using the FEED button.
3) The GS P command can change the horizontal (and vertical) motion unit. However, the value cannot be less than the minimum vertical movement amount, and it must be in even units of the minimum vertical movement amount. 4) In standard mode, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.

following data is not underlined, and the underline thickness set before the mode is turned off does not change. The default underline thickness is 1 dot. 4) Changing the character size does not affect the current underline thickness. 5) Underline mode can also be turned on or off by using ESC !. Note, however, that the last received command is effective. [Default] n=0 [Reference] ESC ! ESC E n [Name] Turn emphasized mode On/Off.

Appendix A.MISCELLANEOUS NOTES 1. Printer mechanism handling 1) Do not pull the paper out when the cover is closed. 2) Because the thermal elements of the print head and driver ICs are easy to break, so do not touch them with any metal objects. 3) Since the areas around the print head become very hot during and just after printing, do not touch them. 4) Do not use the cover open button except when necessary.
7) If the surface of thermal paper is sc ratched with a hard metal object such as a nail, the paper may become discolored. - Notes on thermal paper storage Since color development begins at 70° C (158° F), thermal paper should be protected from high temperature, humidity, and light, both before and after printing. 1) Store paper away from high temperature and humidity. Do not store thermal paper near a heater or in enclosed places exposed to direct sunlight.
