The printer can operate two cash drawers with a 6 pin RJ-11 modular connector.
The driver is capable of supplying a maximum current of 1.0A for 510ms or less when not printing. Notes: 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.

♣Turn off power switch.

1. Make sure that the printer is not receiving data; Otherwise, data may be lost.

2. Open the paper roll cover by pushing down the cover open push button.

The self-test result indicated whether the printer is operating properly. Also with this, user can check ASCII PRINT is printing a test page constructed ASCII code. You can able to check the printer works
following options or status of the printer. properly with this
The ASCII PRINT test automatically ends and cuts the paper after printing the following:
 Control circuit
 Printer mechanism
 Printing quality *** Completed ***
 ROM version
 Interface setting The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it completes the ASCII PRINT.

This test is independent of any other equipment or software.

Running the self test

1. Make sure the printer is turned off and the printer cover is closed properly before performing the
self test
2. Turn the printer on holding the FEED button, then the self-test will start. The self-test prints the

This feature allows experienced users to see exactly what data is coming to the printer. This can be If the interior of the printer is dusty, printing quality can be lowered.
useful in finding software problems.
In this case, follow the instructions below to clean the printer.
When you go into the hex dump function, the printer prints all commands and other data in
hexadecimal format along with a guide section to help you find specific commands.
♣Note :
To use the hex dump feature, follow these steps 1. Make sure to turn the printer power off prior to cleaning
1. Please turn printer off. 2. Regarding print head cleaning, as the print head is very hot during printing, turn off the printer
2. Please turn printer on while press down “Feed” button. power and wait approximately 10 minute before start.
3. Press the FEED button three times when the Self Test printed. 3. When cleaning the print head, take care not to touch the heated part of the print head.
4. Now printer had entered into Hexa dump mode. The print head subject to be damaged by static electricity.
5. Run any software program that sends data to the printer. The printer prints ”Hexadecimal printing 4. Take care not to allow the print head to become scratched and /or damaged in any way.

6. Turn off the printer.

7. Turn on the printer.

1. Use an applicator swab moistened with an alcohol solution to clean the print head and remove
any dusts.

2. Once the cleaning is completed, insert paper roll into the printer few minutes later and close
the printer cover.

♣Preventing Overheating
To prevent the motor from overheating, continuous operation of the printer should be 1.5 m or
less in print length. Set the pause time for 30 seconds or more than it.
