Notes on Use
Be sure that the printer is installed horizontally when you install it on a table.
Be sure to use the power switch to turn the printer on and off.
Do not unplug or plug in the AC adapter during printing.
To communicate with a computer via a serial cable, connect the cable before
turning on the printer.
To use the serial cable, it is recommended to secure it to avoid stress on it.
Be sure not to open the roll paper cover when the printer is operating.
Protect the printer from impact.
Do not apply excessive force to the printer case.
Do not place food or beverages such as coffee on the case of the printer.
For Bluetooth interface models, if you establish a radio connection between
the host computer and the printer each time you start printing instead of
maintaining the connection, it may take a while between the time you send a
print job and the time that the printer actually starts printing. This happens
because connecting the host computer and the printer requires some time.
The time required for connection depends on the operating environment.
For Bluetooth interface models, when the wireless connection is ended while

See illustration Aon page 11.
2. Remove the used roll paper core if there is one.
(When using the label continuous issuing mode)
3. Fold the peeler holder under the peeler cover. This covers the label peeler
detector. See illustration B.
(When using the label peeler issuing mode)
3. Peel off the first label, and press the peeler change over lever to lift the peeler
holder.
(When installing the label paper horizontally)
4. Set the new roll paper on the inside of the roll paper cover.
Note:
Note the direction the paper comes off the roll. See illustration C.
(When installing the label paper vertically)
4. Set the new roll paper in the inside of the roll paper cover. See cin
illustration D.
Note:
Be sure that the roll paper side is on the bottom when you install the printer
vertically.
5. Pull the leading edge of the roll paper. See din illustration D.
6. Align the left edge of the roll paper with the edge of the cover. See ein
illustration D.
Note:
Note the direction the paper comes off the roll.
7. Pull the leading edge of the roll paper. See illustration C.
8. Close the roll paper cover.
9. Close the peeler cover.
Note:
Removing the issued label enables the label peeler detector to detect a paper end and the
printer to issue the next label.
If the first label is not removed when using the label peeler issuing mode, the thickness of
the label and the backing paper overloads the peeler holder, possibly stopping the paper feed
motor.
When closing the peeler cover, make sure to close it firmly, pressing both ends.
See illustration E.
When tearing the backing paper, pull it in the direction of the arrow shown in the
illustration Fas you tear it. Otherwise, the backing paper may move to one side, causing a
paper jam.
When the label is completely fed to the peeling position, the printer goes in the label
removal waiting state, so remove the label.
When the label peeler detector detects the paper at the power on, the printer goes in the
label removal waiting state and the ERROR LED comes on. Be sure to remove the label
before powering off the printer. Otherwise, the printer goes into the label removal waiting
state when it is powered on again.
