4. OPERATION 4.1 Replacing the Paper Roll Press Cover Open switch (1). Open Paper Cover (2). Place the new paper roll as shown on illustration and pull out enough paper to reach the control panel of the printer (3). Close the Paper Cover. If data to be printed still exists, press the LF switch to resume printing. (2) (3) (1) CAUTION! Be sure to use specified thermal paper rolls! Make sure that the paper is correctly placed.
4.2 Method of Charging If any of the following conditions occur, charging the battery is required. • “Low Battery” is printed. • The buzzer sounds 3 times. To charge the battery, plug the connector of the AC adapter to the DC jack of the printer and the AC adapter to the AC outlet. The charge LED lights red. If the LED changes to green, charging has completed. In case of a trouble while charging the battery, the charge is suspended with blinking of charge LED in red.
4.3 Communication by IrDA For IrDA communication, DIP switch setting needs to be set for IrDA. Set the infrared port of the device to face straight to the printer’s infrared port. Communication is available in the range of 15° up, down, left, and right. Avoid blocking between the printer and the device to be connected. Otherwise, data may not be sent correctly. Max.
4.4 Communication Via Serial Port (Cable) For communication via serial (RS-232C) interface, use Citizen CA10-01 serial cable. When the printer is OFF, open the serial port rubber cover and while holding the connector with the “PUSH” sign facing upward, gently insert the connector into the serial port. Connect the other end of the cable to the device to be connected. To disconnect serial cable from the printer firmly press “PUSH” sign on the connector and remove it from the serial port.
4.5 Communication by Bluetooth For the Bluetooth communication, it is necessary to choose CMP-10BT and set the DIP switches for Bluetooth. As built-in Bluetooth module supports Serial Port Profile, host machine needs to communicate with CMP-10BT based on serial port profile. Please refer to the software manual of the host machine for the details. When CMP-10BT connects through the Bluetooth interface, the host machine may require a pin code.
4.7 Removing the Battery Pack 1. Set the printer Power switch to OFF and unplug the AC adapter from printer. 2. Remove the battery cover by (1) pressing the battery cover as shown in the figure, lift it upward. (1) 3. Remove cover as shown in the illustration. 4. Remove battery pack from compartment and disconnect battery connector from main unit.
4.8 Installing the Battery Pack 1. Insert the battery connector to the connector of the printer. 2. Insert the battery connecting cable into the opening above the battery connector. Confirm that the battery connector is seated deeply. 3. Insert the battery into its compartment. 4. Place battery cover back by sliding it from the back of the printer.
4.9 DIP Switch Setting Either Bluetooth or IrDA function of CMP-10BT have to be chosen by DIP switches. DIP switches are located under the battery. Function allocation of DIP switch is as follows. Bluetooth IrDA No. 1 ON No. 2 ON ON OFF OFF ON OFF OFF * * Default setting of CMP-10BT There are no “No. 1”, “No. 2”, “ON” or “OFF” signs on actual case like the above drawing. Standard CMP-10 does not have Bluetooth function and has no DIP switches.
4.10 Setup menu function (Firmware after Ver 2.20EN) Make sure the printer power is off. Press ON/OFF switch and keep pressed for about 5 seconds until .LED is changed to red and leave the switch. Then buzzer beeps and printer prints current setting and goes to setup menu as follows.
The list of choice in the setup menu Top question items (Bold items is default value.
5. FUNCTION 5.1 Auto Power OFF Power is automatically cut off after a specified period of time, during which no command is sent to the printer and the LF switch has not been pressed. The default setting of this time duration is 10 minutes, however, the period can be custom set by the user with a special command to the printer. (see Command Reference List) The behavior of the printer at the operation of Auto Power OFF is the same as that when power is turned OFF by the Power switch. 5.
5.4 Monitoring the Print Head Overheating If the temperature exceeds 65°C for some reason, the printer automatically stops printing with Power LED indication of “Error” to protect the print head. If the head temperature returns to 60°C or below, the printer is ready for printing. 5.5 Self Testing and Internal Settings ● Keep the LF switch pressed down. ● Press the ON/OFF switch down. ● Release the ON/OFF switch. ● Release the LF switch.
