！Caution!
1.Pay attention to the direction of loading paper, make the printing surface face to the
print head.
2. Please don’t feed or draw the paper forwards or backwards with hands.
3. Keep clean of the print head, avoid to influence the printing quality.
2.2 Paper Installation
2.2.1 Paper Loading
This printer adopts 79.5mm±0.5mm width thermal paper
roll.Steps of Loading Thermal Paper are as below:
Hold down the upper cover button on the left side, open the movable upper cover,
draw a certain length of the paper roll, put the paper end on the print head, close the
upper cover and press it downwards lightly.
2.2.2 Solution to Paper Jam
If cutter jam, turn off the power, and turn on again, the cutter will be back to original
position. If paper jam, open the paper storage cover, and take out the paper. If the
cutter can not be back to the original position, open the cover of it, and turn the white
plastic gear by the direction suggestive on the cutter by hand to make the cutter be
back to the original position.

2.4 Buzzer, Buttons and Indicators
There is one button and one inner buzzers and three indicators on 2C-POS80-02 printer.
【FEED】is paper feeding button, the function of its enabling or disabling the button
on/off can be set by print command, when the button is enabled, press 【FEED】
button, then the paper presenting driver starts up and paper fed into the printer;
release【FEED】button, paper feeding stops.
The buzzer indicates the error status type, which can be set to enabling error alarm
or disabling by parameter setting. Error status type is the same as error indicator.
The green POWER indicator is the power indicator. The POWER indicator lights, it
indicate that the printer is turned on.
The red indicator is the paper status indicator. The indicator light indicates that the
printer is out of paper.
Red/Blue indicator is ERROR/ALARM indicator, the red indicator is dark when printer
work normally; and alarm abnormal status of printer while it flashes. When it is on for
a long time, it means paper case opened in the printing process. The blue indicator
flashes reminds that printer has received document.
When the document received indicator flash, the buzzer rings for three times, it
reminds that printer has received document.
When the error indicator flashes and the buzzer rings, it means there is an error in
the printer.
According to the different flicker type, the different error types are as below:
1. Non-recoverable error, the times of indicator flickering and buzzer sounding mean
the error type, then persistent lighting.
2. Recoverable error, the times of indicator flickering and buzzer sounding mean the
error type, then persistent indicator-off.

12
3. Auto-recoverable error, the indicator flickers and the buzzer sounds persistently.
4. Paper out, PAPER OUT indicator lights and the buzzer sounds persistently. When
the paper case cover is open, whether the paper is out or not will not be tested, but
just testing whether there is paper in printer.
The details are as below:
①.. Non-recoverable error, the indicator flickers several times, then persistent
lighting. The times of flickering means the error type,

paper out indicator flash twice alternately and out, then printer will be on the normal
working mode.
2.6 Self-test
The self-test will check the condition of printer, if the printer prints out the self-test
receipt correctly, it means the printer works normally, except interface with host.
Otherwise it needs to repair.
The self-test will print out the name of manufacturer, printer type, software version,
interface type and printer defaulted parameter, 96 characters in ASCII and defaulted
Code page content(the language is English) or the name of Chinese characters
library(if the language is Chinese) and Bar code type.
Way of self-test: hold down【FEED】button and turn on the power, self-test begins
automatically at this moment.Different model of the printer have a little different
parameters on self-test.

Hexadecimal Dump
To terminate hexadecimal dump,
Press FEED button three times.
This means the printer has entered hexadecimal printing mode, and under this mode,
all of the input will be printed out as hexadecimal number, feed one line with
single-click of “FEED” button, after 3 times, it will print out “*** Completed ***”, and
exit hexadecimal printing mode.
2.8 Parameter Setting

switch on the printer and release the【FEED】when the status indicator and paper-out
indicator flash alternately. Then press the 【FEED】twice and close the paper cover,
printer enter the setting mode and print out the first set parameter and its default
value. The details method of setting parameter can refer to Appendix A.
Steps for exiting of parameter setup:
Open paper case cover and press the【FEED】button; then close paper case cover
and release the 【FEED】button. The printer will save the setup of parameters, exit
setting mode and enter the normal working mode.
The data will not be saved if turn off the printer directly.

15
2.9 Enter the program upgrade mode
