teps 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.
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.
2.2.2 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 strage cover,and take out the
paper.If the cutter can not be back to the original position,open the cover of

Fig. 2-3 The pin assignment of serial interface
Note: (1)“ ource” denotes the source that signal come from;
(2)Logical signal level is EIA.
The baud rate and data structure in serial interface mode is 9600bps,
8-bit data bits, no parity bit and 1 stop bit.
The serial interface of P-PO 88 Ⅴ can be connected to standard
R -232CR -232C interface. When it is connected to IBM PC or its
compatible machine, connection can accord to Fig.2-4.

2.4 Buttons and Indicators
There is one button and three indicators on PO 88Ⅴ 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 green POWER light is the power indicator, red ERROR light is
status indicator, it is dark when the printer works normally, while it
flashes when reporting an abnormal emergency, as the following form
shows:

Impossible to recover,
check if there is paper

jam.
When any error shown above occurs,pin “nFault” of parallel change
to “0” level,and send 1 bit wrong code through serial TXD by itself,it can
also send out the printer state by answer the E C v command.
Red indicator of “Paper Out ” is the paper out indicatoe.When there
is no paper in printer head,it will light,and it is off under normal status.
2.5 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 96 ANK characters,defalut code page,name of
Chinese Characrer library, interface setting and software version.
Way of self-test:hold down【FEED】button and turn on the power,
self-test begins automatically at this moment.
2.6 Hexadecimal Printing
Turn on the printer according to the step below,it will enter the mode
of Hexadecimal Printing
1.Open the cover；
2.Hold down【FEED】button，and connect with power；
3.Close the cover,the printer will print out 3 lines as below:
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.
