SRP-330 1-5 Installing or Replacing the Paper Roll ※ 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. 1-5-1 Make sure that the printer is not receiving data; otherwise, data may be lost. 1-5-2 Open the paper roll cover by raise the cover-open lever. ※ NOTE Do not open the print cover while the printer is operating. This may damage the printer.
SRP-330 1-5-5 Be sure to note the correct direction that the paper comes off the roll. 1-5-6 Pull out a small amount of paper, as shown. Then close the cover. ※ NOTE When closing the cover, press the center of printer cover firmly to prevent paper miss-loading. 1-5-7 Tear off the paper as shown. Rev. 1.
SRP-330 1-6 Using the Printer 1-6-1 Control Panel ○ POWER The POWER light is on whenever the printer is on. ○ ERROR This indicates an error. ○ PAPER This light indicates the near end of the paper roll. Install a new paper roll and the printer will continue printing. When the light blinks, it indicates the self-test printing standby state or macro execution Standby state when the macro execution command is used. ○ FEED Press the FEED button once to advance paper one line.
SRP-330 1-7 Connecting the computer You need an appropriate interface cable. 1-7-1 Plug the cable connector securely into the printer’s interface connector. 1-7-2 Tighten the screws on both sides of the cable connector. 1-7-3 Attach the other end of the cable to the computer. Rev. 1.
SRP-330 1-8 Connecting the Power Supply ※ CAUTIONS When connecting or disconnecting the power supply from the printer, make sure that the power supply is not plugged into an electrical outlet. Otherwise you may damage the power supply or the printer. If the power supply’s rated voltage and your outlet’s voltage do not match, contact your dealer for assistance. Do not plug in the power cord. Otherwise, you may damage the power supply or the printer.
SRP-330 2. Self Test The self-test checks whether the printer has any problems. If the printer does not function properly, contact your dealer. The self-test checks the following; 2-1 Make sure paper roll has been installed properly. 2-2 Turn on the power while holding down the FEED button. The self-test begins. 2-3 The self-test prints the current printer status, which provides the control ROM version and the DIP switch setting.
SRP-330 3. Hexadecimal Dumping This feature allows experienced users to see exactly what data is coming to the printer. This can be useful in finding software problems. When you turn on the hexadecimal dump function, the printer prints all commands and data in hexadecimal format along with a guide section to help you find specific commands. To use the hexadecimal dump function, follow these steps. 3-1 After you make sure that the printer is off, open the cover.
