2.4. Replacing paper roll
1. Make sure that the printer is not receiving data; otherwise, data may be lost.
2. Open the paper roll cover using your finger on both side of printer and remove
the remaining paper.
3. Insert a new paper roll as shown.
4. Tear the excess paper off using the edge of paper door as a tear bar.
Note : 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.

2.5. Set operation mode
Change the mode and option using the MODE Code.
lMODE button : use for changing OPTION status. (Error Lamp)
lFEED button : use for changing MODE status. (Power Lamp)
[Example] The defaults of the printer are :
UART / 9600 bps / 8 data bit / No parity / 1 stop bit / Density low
/ Mark use / Sensor low
If a user wants to modify the defaults with
Protocol UART / 57600 bps / 7 data bit / Odd parity / 2 stop bit / Density high
/ Mark no use / Sensor medium1
uPress MODE Button during the Error Lamp flicking 5 times.
→
You will see the Power Lamp and the Error Lamp flickers once.
→
Press the MODE Button once and the Error Lamp flickers twice.
And then, interface mode has set to Protocol UART mode.
uWhen you press FEED button once again, Power Lamp flickers twice and
the Error Lamp flickers once.
→
Press MODE Button 3 times, Error Lamp flickers 4 times.
And then, baudrate has set to 57,600 bps.
uWhen you press FEED Button once again, Power Lamp flickers 3 times
and the Error Lamp flickers twice.
→
Press MODE Button once, Error Lamp flickers once.
And then Data Bit has set to 7 data bit.
uWhen you press FEED Button once again, Power Lamp flickers 4 times
and the Error Lamp flickers once.
→
Press MODE Button once, Error Lamp flickers twice.
And then the Parity bit has set to Odd parity bit.
uWhen you press FEED Button once again, Power Lamp flickers 5 times
and Error Lamp flickers once.
→
Press MODE Button once, Error Lamp flickers twice.
And then the density has set to 2 stop bit.

uWhen you press FEED Button once again, Power Lamp flickers 6 times
and Error Lampflickers once.
→
Press MODE Button twice, Error Lamp flickers 3 times.
And then the density has set to Density high.
uWhen you press FEED Button once again, Power Lamp flickers 7 times
and Error Lamp flickers twice.
→
Press MODE Button once, Error Lamp flickers once
And then the mark has set to Mark no use.
uWhen you press FEED Button once again, Power Lamp flickers 8 times
and Error Lamp flickers once.
→
Press MODE Button once, Error Lamp flickers twice
And then the sensor has set to Sensor medium1.
If all the mode have set, press the MODE Button and the FEED Button at the same time
after then release the buttons at the same time.
The printer will print out the mode status which has modified.
(Protocol UART / 57600 bps / 7 data bit / Odd parity / 2 stop bit / Density high
/ Mark no use / Sensor medium1)
If the status is not correct, please try it again according to the procedure.

4.1. Control panel
4.2. The self test
u
Button
- FEED : When the printer is on, paper can be feed manually by pressing and
holding the FEED button for more than one second.
- MODE : MODE Button is for use to change communication mode.
Do not operate the mode button without instructions.
uPanel lamp
- Power(Green) : Printer is ON and ready to receive data.
- Error (Red) : Indicates a fault condition or a printer error.
(i.e : no paper, paper cover opened. etc.)
The Self-Test checks whether the printer has any problems. If the printer does not
function properly, contact your dealer. For Self-Test, turn on the power while holding
down the FEED Button. The Self-Test checks the following :
1) Make sure paper roll has been installed properly.
2) The Self-Test prints the current printer status, which provides the control
ROM version and the communication method setting.
3) After printing the current printer status, Self-Test will print a pattern using the
built-in character set.
4) The Self-Test automatically ends.
The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it complete the Self-Test.
