INTRODUCTION
The PORTI-Sisdesigned forusewith electronicinstruments such asmobilePOS,
retail, transportation.warehousing,othertraveling and mobilecomputing.
The mainfeaturesof the printerare asfollows:
1.High speed printing :50mm persecond.
2.Lownoisethermalprinting.
3.RS-232 communication and IrDA(protocolmethod)
4.Characters can be scaled up to 64 times compared toitsoriginalsize.
Please be suretoread the instruction inthismanualcarefullybefore using your

1.3. Installing or replacing thepaper roll
1.Makesurethat the printerisnotreceiving data;otherwise,datamaybe lost.
2.Open the paper roll coverbyapplying yourfingeron bothside ofprinter,
pushitup when the lock isreleased as showninthe drawing.
3.Removethe used paper roll coreif thereisone.
4. Insert the paper roll as shown.
Note:Be sureto use paper rollsthatmeet the specifications.
Do notuse paper rollsthathave thepapergluedtothe
corebecause theprintercannotdetect thepaperend
correctly.

5.Besureto notethe correctdirection that the papercomesoff the roll.
6,Pull outasmall amountofpaperand then closethe cover,as shown.
7.Tearoff the paperas shown.

1.4.Adjustments and setting

1)MODE
Mode button isforusetochange communication mode.
The communication mode is set toRAWIrDAmode when the powerison.
Press the mode button once, the mode will be changed toStandardIrDA
(Version 1.0)forWindows98,pleaseconfirmthe mode LED will twinkle

Press the mode button twice, the mode will be changed toRS-232Cmode
forWindows98,pleaseconfirmthe mode LED will twinkle3times.
All communication environmentmustbe setwith 9600 bps,1stop bit, no

Chapter2.The self test
The self-testchecks whetherthe printerhasanyproblems. If the printerdoesnot
function properly,contactyourdealer.The self-testchecks the following;
1.Makesure paper roll hasbeen installed properly.
2.Turnonthe powerwhile holding downthe FEEDbutton.The self-testbegins.
3.The self-testprintsthe currentprinterstatus,which providesthe controlROM
version and the communication method setting.
4.Afterprinting the currentprinterstatus,self-testprinting will printa pattern using
the built-incharacterset.
5.The self-testautomaticallyends
The printerisreadytoreceive data as soon asitcompletesthe self-test.
