1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 About this manual
This document describes the daily handling of the TTP 5000 printer.
Since the behavior of the printer to a large extent depends on the design of the
application software, please also refer to the applicable system documentation.
1.2 Updating
This manual will be updated from time to time as printer functions and features are
added or amended. No automatic distribution of new editions is, however, planned.
Registered manual owners (see registration form at the end of the manual) will be kept
informed about new editions, product changes, etc. through our bulletin service. Updated
manuals can be ordered by fax or phone.
Provided you are using an IBM-compatible PC, you can also download the current
manual edition from the Manuals area of our BBS (phone number at the back of the title
page). The manual is supplied in the Adobe Acrobat file format. By downloading the free

manual locally without the need of any other program.
If you require functions not found in the manual edition at your disposal, please consult

3 LOADING THE PAPER
3.1 Removing remaining paper and core
If there is any paper left in the printer, proceed as follows:
1. Lower the paper release lever to horizontal position. Remove any remaining pieces of
paper.
2. Pull out the paper rearwards and remove the core from the paper roll support shaft. If
necessary, clean the paper path by blowing or wiping with a soft brush.
Figure 2. Remove the old paper roll.

3.2 Loading new paper roll
1. Turn the paper roll as shown. The paper should be inserted into the printer with the
temperature sensitive side up.
Figure 3. Turn the paper roll with the temperature-sensitive side up
2. Tear off approximately 0.5 m from the new paper roll.
Figure 4. Tear off 0.5 m of the paper
CAUTION!
This is important since the outer end of the paper is usually fixed to the roll with
some type of glue or self-adhesive substance that might otherwise cause paper
jam or even printhead damage.

3. Raise the paper release lever to vertical position.
4. Turn the paper roll as shown and insert the edge of the paper into the back of the print
module. Note that the paper should pass beneath a plastic bar (see arrow).
Figure 5. Feed the paper into the printer
5. Keep feeding the paper into the print module and press the paper-feed button
momentarily. The printer will now automatically grab and advance the paper, cut it,
and eject it. The leading edge of the next document will now have a properly cut top
edge. (An alternative way of loading the paper is to feed it manually, with the paper
release lever down, until the paper becomes visible in the presenter module. Then
raise the paper release lever and press the paper-feed button.)

6. Make a test printout (see Section 3.3)

3.3 Print test
The print test can be used, for example, to verify that the paper is correctly loaded or that
the printer works correctly after you have removed an obstructing paper particle, etc.
1. Verify that the printer is switched OFF.
2. Press the paper-feed switch and keep it depressed.
3. Switch the power ON and continue keeping the paper feed button depressed for at
least 5 seconds. This produces a printout showing some technical data and
(repeatedly) all characters that can be produced by the printer.
4. Release the paper feed button to stop the printing. The printer cuts and ejects the
document, but remains in the self test mode. Renewed actuation of the paper feed
button produces a demo test print-out followed by cut and eject.
5. Exit the self test mode by switching the power OFF and then ON again. The printer is
now operational again.
4 CLEANING
Remove paper dust by blowing it away or by using a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush.
5 STORAGE
CAUTION!
If the printer is not to be used for a long period of time, disengage the printhead from
the platen by lowering the paper release lever. Both the printhead and the platen will
otherwise be deformed.
