1. CONTROL PANEL

1-1. Basic Operation

1“ON LINE” switch

Switches the printer between “ON

LINE” and “OFF LINE”. When-

ever the printer switches between

“ON LINE” and “OFF LINE”, the

buzzer gives one short beep (“ON

LINE”and“OFFLINE”,switching

is possible only when the paper is

loaded in the printer.)

2“FEED” switch

• When this switch is pressed and

then released within 0.5 sec.,the

paper feeds one line.

• When this switch is depressed for

morethan0.5sec.,thepaperfeeds

continuously.

(The above paper feed operation

is possible for both “ON LINE”

and “OFF LINE” modes.)

3“POWER” lamp (green LED)

• Lights when the power for the printer is on.

4“ALARM” lamp (red LED)

• Lights when the paper is out.

If the paper is out, load a new roll then press the “ON LINE” switch.

• Flasheswhen thefrontcover isopenor amechanicalerror(motorlock etc.)

occurs. The buzzer will give one short beep followed by a long beep.

Mount the front cover properly and press the “ON LINE” switch. If the

buzzer still sounds and the “ALARM” lamp flashes, this signifies that a

mechanical error has occurred. Locate the cause of the error and turn the

power for the printer off and back on again to reset the printer.

(Incaseof amechanical error,thedata willnot beclearedeven ifthe power

is turned off.)

5“ON LINE” lamp (green LED)

LED lit: Printer is ON LINE

LED off: Printer is OFF LINE

LED flashes: Validation printing mode is set.

When all lamps 3to5light simultaneously and the buzzer sounds continu-

ously,aCPUerrorhasoccurred.IncaseofaCPUerror,turnoffthepowerthen

turn it on again. When turning off the power, the data will be cleared.

1-2. Switch Operation (Combined Switch Operation)

1<SELF PRINT TEST>

FEED + POWER ON (Turnthe poweron whileholding theFEED switch

depressed.)

Self-printing will be performed according to the VER. NO., DIP switch

settings and character order. When the FEED switch is held continuously

during self printing, only the characters will print out repeatedly.

In models with cutter, cutting will be done after self-printing is performed

accordingtotheVER.NO.,DIP switchsettingandcharacterorder.Whenthe

FEED switch is pressed after completed self-printing, character printing and

cutting will be repeatedly performed.

2<Hexadecimal dump mode>

ONLINE + POWERON (Turnthepoweronwhileholdingthe ON LINE

switch depressed.)

Each of the signals sent from the computer to the printer will be printed out

in hexadecimal code.

This function allows you to check if a control code sent to the printer by the

program being used is correct or not. The buzzer will sound once to indicate

the printer is in hexadecimal dump mode.

After the program has been run, the last line buffer should be flushed by

pressing the ON LINE switch. To turn off the mode, it is necessary to turn off

the printer completely.

3<CLEAR PRINT BUFFER> (Single Head Only)

FEED + ONLINE + POWER ON (Turn thepower on whileholdingboth

the FEED and ON LINE switches depressed.)

This operation clears the printer buffer. (The buzzer gives two short beeps.)

5<PAGE TOP> (Sprocket-type Only)

ON LINE + FEED (Press the FEED button while holding the ON LINE

button depressed when the printer is ON LINE) The buzzer gives three short

beeps and the printer sets the page top.

6<Dot alignment adjust mode> (Twin Head Only)

FEED + ON LINE + POWER ON

This mode enables adjustment of the forward and backward printed line align-

ment by 1/2-dot increments. The adjustment procedure is explained on the

following pages.

– 5 –

1. Enter the Dot Alignment Adjust Mode by turning on the power while

pressing the ONLINE and FEED switches.

2. When Dot Alignment Adjust Mode starts, the buzzer will sound twice and

“Dot Alignment Adjust Mode” is printed.

3. Seven dot alignment patterns are printed as shown below. The patterns are

arrangedwiththebackwardprintedlinesmoretowardtheleftasthepatterns

areprinted downthepage;thefourth patternis thestandard. Theasterisk (*)

indicates the pattern printed with the current setting.

– 6 –

4. To choose a pattern with a closer alignment of the forward and backward

printed lines, count from the top down to the desired pattern and press the

FEEDswitchthe countednumberof times.(Thebuzzer soundseachtime the

FEED switch is pressed, up to a maximum of seven times. However, if the

FEED switch is pressed more than seven times, a warning sounds.)

5. Press the ONLINE switch after the setting is made. (If the power is turned off

before the ONLINE switch is pressed, the new setting becomes invalid.)

When the setting is entered, the buzzer sounds once and the chosen starting

position of the backward printed line is stored in the memory.

This setting does not change if the machine’s power is turned off.

A pattern using the selected setting and followed by “Adjust Completed!” is

printed.

If the ONLINE switch is pressed to end step 5 without changing the setting,

“Adjust Completed!” is printed and the mode is exited.

* To set the starting position of the backward printed line to 0, simultaneously

press the ONLINE and FEED switches in step 4. The mode automatically

continues on to step 5, then a pattern using the selected setting and followed

by “Adjust Completed!” is printed.
