1–2 Setting Up the Printer

Adjusting the Paper Roll Near-End Sensor

Notes:

Use paper rolls with an inner core diameter of 10.5 to 12.5 mm so

that the sensor detects the remaining paper correctly.

When the last portion of a paper roll bears red markings, the

marking is sometimes an adhesive that pulls the entire paper roll up.

In this case, the sensor may not detect the remaining paper correctly.

If a paper roll easily becomes loose because of the quality of the paper

or other factors, incorrect detection of the paper end may result.

1. Make sure that the power supply is disconnected from the printer.

2. Two spacers are included. See the illustration below and decide

whether or not you want to use them. Use them if you want the

near-end sensor to be triggered when distance A is 3 to 4 mm;

otherwise it will be triggered when distance A is approximately

6mm.

3. Secure the paper roll near-end sensor (and spacers) with two

screws. When you insert the spacers, be sure you set the

spacers in the direction shown in the illustration.

4. Check to be sure that the detecting lever moves freely.

Connecting the Cables and Grounding the Printer

You can connect up to three cables and a grounding wire to the

printer. They all connect to the connector panel on the bottom of

the printer, which is shown below:

Notes:

There is a caution label beside the drawer kick-out connector.

Depending on the interface installed, the interface connector on your

printer may look different from the one illustrated.

Before connecting any of the cables, make sure that both the printer

and the computer are turned off.

WARNING:

Use a drawer that matches the printer specification. Using an
