2-3. Loading the Roll Paper
Notes: Be sure to use paper rolls that meet the specifications. Do not use paper rolls that have the
paper glued to the core because the printer cannot detect the paper end correctly.
♣Turn off power switch.
1. Make sure that the printer is not receiving data; Otherwise, data may be lost.
2. Open the paper roll cover by pushing down the cover open push button.
3. Remove the used paper roll core if there is one inside.
4. Insert new paper roll as shown.

10
5. Note the correct direction that the paper comes off the roll:
6. Pull out a small amount of paper as shown. Then, close the cover.
7. Tear off the paper as shown.

11
♣CAUTION:
When the paper cutter is jammed, the top cover might be stuck closed. In this case, repeat power on
and off several times.
If the top cover is still stuck, please follow the steps to release the paper jam.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off.
2. Take out cutter cover as shown.
3. Turn screw with drivers to a direction until paper is released from the cutter

3-1. Control panel
You can control the basic paper feeding operations of the printer with the button on the control panel.
The indicator lights let you to monitor the printer’sstatus.

The self-test lets you know if your printer is operating properly. It checks the control circuits, printer
mechanisms, print quality, ROM version and DIP switch settings.
This test is independent of any other equipment or software.
Running the self test
1. Make sure the printer is turned off and the printer cover is closed properly.
2. While holding down the FEED button, turn on the printer using the switch on the front of
the printer to begin the self-test. The Self Test prints the printer settings, cuts the paper, then
pauses: (Error LED On)
Self-test printing
Please press the PAPER FEED button.
3. Press the FEED button to continue printing.
The printer prints a pattern using the built-in character set.
4. The self test automatically ends and cuts the paper after printing the following.
*** Completed ***
The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it completes the self-test.
4. Self Test

14
This feature allows experienced users to see exactly what data is coming to the printer. This can be
useful in finding software problems.
When you turn on the hex dump function,the printer prints all commands and other data in hexadecimal
format along with a guide section to help you find specific commands.
To use the hex dump feature, follow these steps
1. Please run the self test. (While holding down the FEED button, turn on the printer using the switch
on the front of the printer to begin the self-test)
2. Please holding down FEED button more than 2 seconds after print out first page of self test .
3. Now you are in hex dump mode when you will see
“ Hexadecimal printing mode…..” on paper.
